5.0 out of 5 stars The Mercedes of strollers, April 18, 2008

By

This review is from: Maclaren Techno XLR Buggy Stroller Charcoal and Burnt Orange (Baby Product)

This stroller is wonderful. We had a Graco (which I absolutely hated) and a Maclaren Volo which was great...it steered like a dream...but which had a few problems; no raincover, skimpy sun canopy, no recline, no seat padding, and I thought it sat a bit too low to the ground. The Techno XLR solves all of these problems while not sacrificing greatly on weight or bulk. The canopy is generous (it upzips for even more coverage than in the photo), it includes a raincover which is a snap to put on in seconds, it reclines almost flat (my 10 month old slept in it for a full two hours on one trip) and it's a little taller and wider than other maclarens so my baby has a bit more room and doesn't sit so low to the ground. The padding for the seat is thick and seems very comfortable. It's lightweight compared to other strollers with comparable features, and it folds and unfolds with one hand. I've been able to take it out of the trunk and unfold it while holding a sleeping baby and without waking him up! I haven't tried it on buses or trains yet, but it did take it on a trip to the Caribbean and it was easy to fold at the gate for gate checking.
A big plus is that it is stylish, lots of great color combos (I have the grey and orange) with none of those horrid pastel baby colours and prints that other stroller manufacturers seem to favour. Another big plus is that it comes already assembled, just take it out of the box and go.

5.0 out of 5 stars I would buy this stroller all over again!, May 1, 2008

By 

Axxul (Burning hot AZ) - See all my reviews

before buying a stroller I did a lot of research, I did not want to be one of those moms that go through 5 strollers before they find the right one, this and most MacLaren strollers seemed to have very good reviews from other parents so I decided to give it a try since it came with a money back guarantee if I wasn't satisfied. I love it! I take my son to the mall and we can breeze by between the ailes where moms with the so popular Graco's can't, my son definitely seems very confortable, it comes with an extension so you can use it with an infant seat ( I had Graco Snugride). My son's nanny claims it's the best stroller she has ever seen/used (she's seen plenty as she's been nanny/mother/grandma for a few decades) and I've actually received compliments on it so I guess that means it's stylish looking. If you're tall you'll love it since the handle bars extend to accomodate taller people. After a year I have not found a bad thing about this stroller and it's still in great shape...will definitely be used by baby #2. Light enough for this 5 ft. 110 lb. mom to take out of car and set up with one hand. It does not have a bottle/cup holder for mom but I bought a $5 clip on holder that works great.

1.0 out of 5 stars My sixth MacLaren, and a real lemon - with *terrible* customer service!!, July 29, 2010

By 

BeachyMum (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Maclaren Techno XLR Buggy Stroller (Baby Product)

We've owned six (6) MacLaren strollers, including this one.

In spite of the recall, we felt confident in buying another MacLaren for the arrival of our fourth child - and in fact purchased this for the car seat adapter, something MacLaren had never provided in the past.

We used a Graco car seat, the exact model specified on the MacLaren materials and website. The bar that attaches to support the car seat was only initially tight-fitting, and within the first month of use it snapped off multiple times, causing the car seat to nearly fall to the ground. (Thankfully the belt was very firmly attached, so the baby was not injured.) The seat adapter *was* installed exactly as the directions advised, and my engineer husband even tried to determine a better/safer means of using this.

Additionally, the stroller is wobbly; not stable as our other MacLarens have been, and the side 'lock' that is to keep it closed when folded frequently comes unlatched.

My REAL frustration came when I contacted MacLaren customer support. A 'gentleman' asked me what model of car seat I was trying to install. When I replied that it was a MacLaren-approved Graco model, his response was a request for me to send them the stroller AND the car seat for inspection. Like many families, we have ONE car seat, so it seemed that MacLaren arrogantly expected us to go purchase another while they tried to place blame on another manufacturer's product?

The car seat was (is) in excellent condition, and in fact works beautifully with the UppaBaby Vista that we purchased after the MacLaren nearly dumped our baby on the ground on numerous occasions.

We've yet to receive any form of resolution from MacLaren.
