Maclaren Techno XT Review

Maclaren Techno XT Review

A practical workhorse in the world of pushchairs, the Techno XT is one of the simplest pushchairs out there and will certainly get you from A to B, but despite the high price, there are a few special features.

The car died in 1965 when Owen McLaren designed the first car.

Using knowledge gained from inventing the Supermarine Spitfire landing gear, he took a lightweight collapsible aluminum tube and built the world's first lightweight collapsible umbrella cradle.

For centuries, parents thanked in silence.

Thanks to its ingenious design, Maclaren has become one of the biggest and most famous car brands in the world (perhaps the entire universe).

You can buy Macla's Techno XT Stroller on Amazon.

No kindergartens, no parking lots (or spaceships, just kidding), you won't see Macla, they are so famous.

And the Techno XT is Maclaren's flagship buggy.

While the signature umbrella hood has been copied by hundreds of other light vehicles, Maclaren quality, extra features and durability make this buggy a step ahead of the rest.

It's a sleek, lightweight, practical and easy-to-use version of Macla's original B-01 that took the automotive world by storm in the 1960s.

Is it really a light car?

Yes, but it may not be as easy as you think. When the Techno XT hit the market years ago, it was one of the lightest cars around.

Little has changed, however, and there have been so many innovations over the past decade that you can now find strollers almost half the size of the Techno XT.

But that doesn't mean it's heavy, far from it, I can easily lift this cart with one hand. I bought this pushchair when our cheaper knock off Macla started to sag under the weight of our two and a half year old Finn.

It looks a little bigger than other lightweight scales, but what you lose in extra weight (7.1kg) you more than make up for in stability and durability.

Is it sustainable?

Yes, the stroller is not only well-made and durable, but it also has a unique sovereign lifetime warranty that lasts for all your children for as long as you need the stroller.

Tell us about the mango.

With four recline positions, a five-second one-handed folding mechanism and front and rear suspension, it's easy to see why the Techno XT has been a market leader for years.

What happens when you push in different areas?

The Techno XT is light, very easy to push, can handle any surface in the city and is great for commuting on public transport. I never had to worry about it not fitting in the isle of buses or wagons.

The tires are small and you'll feel a lot of vibration when crossing tree roots or large cracks, but the suspension does a good job of absorbing bumps.

Be careful; long grass can be the downfall of these cars.

Because the Techno XT has two non-retractable handles, you need to use both while riding, it's not a one-handed job.

How does it stack up?

In keeping with Makla's style, the folding mechanism of the umbrella is flawless (although Grandma thinks it's a bit stiff).

Pushing back, I can fold the stroller with one hand, holding four-month-old Noah on my hip.

When folded, it can be difficult to pick up as it only has a clip on one side, so it looks like it will pop open when you pick it up. It really should have a latch on both sides to keep it secure.

However, the clip holds the folded stroller together, and the Techno XT can withstand even the "gentle touch" of airline baggage handlers.

Yes, and I love them! These are: a hood and a flounce. The canopy zips open and tucks baby inside, perfect for naps and sunny days.

A full-length clear umbrella is perfect if your child is old enough to deal with limited visibility.

The raincoat is so compact that you can always carry it with you without losing half of your memory. It attaches to the hood of an existing stroller and is so wide that it's the only rain "bubble" my son Finn sits in today.

What our MFM moms say about Techno XT

Is it suitable for newborns?

no​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​gate from birth, although Maclaren sells the Techno XT, there is one car that I wouldn't recommend.

The stroller only points forwards, and while the seat almost folds down, it's not enough. If you use this sheet with a newborn baby, you may not be able to see the baby while in the car.

Tell me about the cart.

Many internet moms think that the size of the basket is an issue, especially when you hang the shopping on the handles and take the baby out of the stroller, things can get cramped.

Who is Techno XP best for?

Moms of babies 6 months and older who want a durable, lightweight stroller for fun while they ride.

MadeForMums Verdict:

Any wise old owl who's been around long enough knows what a difference little additions make.

It might be expensive and not the best for bulk purchases, but it's so thin and easy to print on, you can't complain.

Techno XT's reputation speaks for itself, but it may take three or four times to get ours out of the nursery!
