I like a baby in a proper pram, but with 3 kids and all their stuff sometimes there just won't be room in the car boot for it! Did I mention how thrilled I am to see it takes up half the boot space of our previously lovely but bulky pram! This stroller has nicer fabric and components, but the construction of the stroller is lacking in the way the parts come together.

Don't intend to stop using it any time soon as it still works perfectly and Samara likes to sit in it. Since then, the Maclaren company has been big player in the design of lightweight and portable umbrella strollers.

The Maclaren Techno XT folds to a narrow profile widthwise, with very little extra bulk from the wheels. The simple single handed umbrella fold mechanism allows you to open and close the buggy with ease and the additional carry handle enables you to easily transport and carry. I think the Maclaren umbrella fold pushchairs are a design classic, a real genius moment in engineering. Maclaren provides a LIFETIME warranty from the original date of purchase and you have to be the original owner. So yes get a mac but try to borrow or get a second hand thing with a bit more absorbency of paving, just to use while baby is tiny.

After trying out another stroller to replace my large travel system I was left dissatisfied until I bought the Maclaren techno xt.

I got this buggy when our less expensive Maclaren imitation started to buckle under the weight of my then two-and-half year old Finn.

However, it is average for size and has a carry handle instead of a shoulder strap that is easier to use. It has several reclining positions and a adjustable foot rest making it super comfortable for the little ones. In our tests, we thought the Maclaren Techno XT was a breeze to fold and unfold, and our parent testers agreed. So could I trouble some of you amazing experts on all things pushchair related out there and ask what your general opinion on the Maclaren Techno is? I bought this buggy when my daughter was 1 because she got too big for the lie down baby pram I was given when expecting her.The pouch at the back has been useful to put bits and bobs and I really like being able to check on my child through the transparent plastic window in hood. Although the stroller is not compatible with a car seat, thanks to the soft carrycot, Maclaren Techno XT is suitable to use from birth.
