Maclaren Techno XT

Advantages: Comfortable sitting, smooth ride, maneuverability, fully horizontal position of the back and its rigidity, good hood, quite light, pleasant material, adjustable footrest, excellent permeability FOR TREND in winter!

Disadvantages: No bumper included (purchased separately), expensive accessories.

Comment: Model 2013. Disadvantages for me are irrelevant. Bumper order is not a problem, who needs it. The set does not go, as I understand it, for security reasons, so that the child is always fastened. Clutch sewed itself.
The seat is comfortable, although at first glance it may seem a bit small, even in a winter overalls, the child in 1.3 did not crawl and did not hang on the straps!
The buckle on the belts has never caused either my husband or grandparents difficulties. And the child really likes to poke a button, the benefit does not unfasten himself.
Someone complains about a stupid window in the hood. It works fine when the child is sleeping with the backrest lowered. Many strollers go without him.
In a sudden snowfall in the middle of April, the wheelchair drove quite calmly.
Very pleased with maneuverability. One hand to control the stroller, and the other to lead the child is quite realistic.
The length of the handles is adjustable, I, with my height of 160 cm, are quite comfortable with completely lowered.
In comparison with the peg-perego this stroller wins in many ways. Although pussy, too, dearly love.

I'd like to read and write reviews were objective:
1. Do not compare the cane with walks and cradles with large (and even with inflatable) wheels !!!!
2. The stroller is designed to carry the child, and not for the delivery of products (a small basket is quite convenient for children's things)
3. There are no perfect wheelchairs! But there are good technical and operational performance. This stroller has them.

Advantages: - Weight. 6.8 kg (model 2011) is not a minimum, but for a stroller that has a horizontal position of the back, this is almost a record.
- Track width. Someone will say that it is too narrow, but we have a narrow elevator in our house. Moreover, there is no feeling that it is unstable.
- The stiffness of the frame. Men will understand - it does not breathe, like most walking sticks. Softness is concentrated in the suspension, but not in the frame. As a result, the stroller is controlled accurately and comfortably with just a little finger.
- Long retracted handles. Someone annoying that you can not hang bags on them, but this is a consequence of this dignity. I, with my 182 cm, do not push my feet into the stroller during fast walking. I can get in the elevator between the stroller handles (small narrow elevator: (). Wife 164. She is also comfortable.
- A huge hood - from the experience of the McLaren Classic - is one of the important advantages.The bright summer sun of the south, the low spring sun of Peter perfectly closes the hood with its additional section and transparent visor.
- Good centering. Despite the apparent shift back - the child sits in the center of the wheelbase.
- "Hugging seat" - Under the weight of the child, it is fed back, creating a light effect of a hammock, while it does not bend, while maintaining correct posture. The child’s comfort is also facilitated by a slightly hemmed back seat cushion, as a result of which a bucket is created and the child sits fairly stable.
- With a fully unfolded back, a long, almost flat sleeper is obtained.
- Very soft and quiet rubber wheels. This is not a camera, but quite decent.
- Large enough twin wheels that do not get stuck not only in thick snow, but also in the sand on the beach. The old models (2007-2008) had smaller wheels.
- Simple and compact folding. Still, it’s not for nothing that the founder of the company and the inventor created the chassis for the fighters of the second world war.
- I also like that she doesn’t scream about money. Modest and high quality.
- New hinges. They are safe and comfortable for them to lift the stroller.

Disadvantages: - No foot cover. But when the child is lying - we dress him warmly, and when he already walks, he will not sit anyway, so the benefits are small.
- No mattress, but you can buy separately from a variety of bright colors. A good element of individualization.
- No mosquito nets. Regret not bought with a stroller. On the nature of the ride - very necessary.
- It overturns, if the handles hang bags weighing about 2 children (but they are long). Maclaren for moms offers a bag that hangs from the side. In principle, thanks to this, it is very convenient to move through the curbs. The effort is minimal.
- Price. As someone said - I bought my cane for 2 tr. And no more money for it.
- The wife doesn’t like the texture of the fabric, but this is an amateur. On the classics was a very delicate fabric.
- I wrote earlier: "The design of pens (silver paint peels off by the summer: () - it would be better if it was simpler, but stronger."
- The lack of a bumper for a child is not a disadvantage. This is done to ensure that parents are not lazy to fasten babies, because the bumper does not provide the necessary safety.
- Hard to press the button to unfasten the belts - not a disadvantage. This is also an element of security that the child could not unbutton.

Comment: The stroller is made with love for its owners.
It is not cheap, but it is cheaper than many other options, most of which are worse.
She is like an iPhone. It seems everyone understands that it is expensive, but almost none of the owners will refuse in favor of something else. So are the former McLaren owners who buy something new, bright, interesting - in the end, they still buy themselves another McLaren. We all like that the creators of this stroller made sure that it was convenient for us to use it.

Advantages: Ohhh, I'm probably a wheelchair maniac and I already had 10 of them)))
But like a cane, Mack HT is just perfect! Design, ease of use, ease of use, quality of materials)) All at the highest level)))
- For me, the most important plus in it, in the presence of chic amortization, it is even better than in my City Elite)))
- Next - these are adjustable knobs !!! Kaif - my height is 176 cm and moms with the same height will understand me)))))
- And what a smart handling and patency for a cane))))) It goes almost everywhere except for fresh snow !!!!! Really carry with one hand !!! Easily jumps on the curbs with my elephant in 15 kg))))
- A convenient basket, though not very big, but I have enough for going to the store)
- Large cap))) Sufficiently long and wide seat) Fully horizontal backrest and adjustable footrest!
- Quick and clear assembly, with one hand)) Understands just as easily and quickly)))

Disadvantages: There are almost no cons for me)
A bit not calculated with the dimensions, becauseI wanted to use a cane for independent travel, but HT is big enough when folded (((
To the chassis - pritenzy not)
The paint on the handles is a bit annoying ((I have a couple of chips, some girls, silver paint peels off ((((I don’t understand this, the price for this stroller is not low, but the manufacturer’s joint school (((
Of course, if you find fault, then there may be more cons, but the chassis of the stroller, covers all the minor shortcomings)

Comment: The cane, I chose very long and deliberately) I went through a lot of models: Peg-Perego Si, Ike Pluto, Bumbleraid Flight and Cybex Topaz)
All these canes, precisely on the undercarriage, are inferior to Mac at times !!! And I didn’t want to sacrifice absolutely the comfort of the wheelchair control, after the Elite SUV, and even my baby loves its Mac))))

Advantages: The best move and maneuverability of all the canes I have tested are excellent “up to the bumper” cap, the backrest is almost horizontal, light weight, retractable handles, climbing footboard, great steps on the steps, very good shock absorption for the cane. Washable easily. The fabric is very good, any stain can be wiped with a damp cloth. Maintains a lot of weight, several times she planted two children of 18 and 12 kg in her on the unfolded backrest, normally rode. Once I drove a four-year-old son in her, he was perfectly placed, and he also slept there. The length of the decomposed seat was enough. Climbs into any trunk. Very good seat belts, a bumper with such belts is not needed. The child can not unzip exactly. Only unfasten when you press the lock from the inside and the outside at the same time. In the plane allowed. The trip is not interchangeable. 12 months warranty.

Disadvantages: The bumper is supplied separately and costs 1300 rubles, but the universal for 500 is also a great fit, I would not refuse a bigger basket. Wheels whistled after half a year of use, splashed into the base of the wheel VD-40, there is no creaking.

Comment: I have a lot of experience using canes. There were Inglezina Zippi and Peg Perego Plico, Leader Kids, Jean Rocket, Graco, Mir detstva, unnamed Chinese, but in the end I concluded that McLaren canes are one of the most reliable and easy to use. We exploit our HT very hard. 2 times a day with the child sitting in the stroller (1.5 years), we understand and lower it from the 3rd floor of the stairs, then to the underground passage 2 times when we go to the garden for the elder. "Thin hands", as they were called in one of the reviews, this daily load is maintained for more than a year. The handles are nominated, this is of course a plus, because the husband is taller than me and advances for his convenience. A child in it goes from 6 months. Sleeps well with the back unfolded. The back is soft enough, we do without mattresses. In winter, the snowdrifts on it certainly do not pass (call me a cane that can do it), but along the cleaned or tamped paths in the city, no problem. Girlfriends and rolled out of the city on the trodden paths, they say, great rides. On a small stone any cane will vibrate, but the Mac HT is smaller, since She has a very good depreciation. Legs do not cling to the rear wheels, even if I have to walk very fast, almost running. Concerning the wheel jammed from the sand. We went to the Pirogovskoye and Uchinskoye reservoir on our HT all summer 2010. bathe. There sand knee. Wheels are fine. At the playgrounds, we also have a lot of sand in the summer, but the wheels are not wedged. In September, 2 weeks were in Turkey, sandy beach. Carriage dragged along the beach all the time, the wheels are in order. The stroller has a beautiful cap with a UV visor. There is a secret lightning, when unbuttoning which the cap increases and closes the child to the bumper. The stroller has amazing maneuverability. In Izmailovo, the asphalt has not changed since the revolution, sheer potholes, the carriage goes perfectly, it does not get stuck, it is controlled with one hand, onto the curb, driving with one hand is easy enough. A friend has a third child who is already in it, never broke down.

Advantages: Great stroller!
Big hood (like a chapel), silent!
Comfortable bed (no side inserts, like an Italian stroller, so my burly man is very comfortable in it), the back easily and silently lowered to a recumbent position. In a sitting position, the child does not move anywhere, it is conveniently fixed with straps.
The stroller is very light, compact, convenient addition mechanism. We flew with her already twice.
Maneuverable wheels, I can control the stroller with one hand! Do not get into a stupor, if run into pebbles. It is easy to ride on fresh snow (not through snowdrifts, of course), as well as ice.
A child in her beautifully falls asleep!
Comfortable rain cover. He is silent! And the child does not wake up if you take it off and put it on. Perfectly protects from wind, does not rustle at rushes!
On the handles of the stroller you can hang the bags (most importantly, do not overdo it).
Convenient wheel brake, it does not rattle and does not create jolts when lowering and dismounting.
It seems that everything in this stroller is thought out for the convenience of mother and child!

Disadvantages: I haven't found them yet :)

Comment: Nothing is done with this stroller! In my McLaren two kids already skated, and she's like new !!!

Advantages: * Compact stroller. In my 5-meter corridor takes up very little space.
* Handles that are comfortable to hold + increase in height.
* Large hood. Very comfortable when the sun, wind. Behind the hood, you can unfasten and open the stroller for airing.
* The backrest folds almost to a horizontal position. The angle is due to the fact that the seat has a slope to the back. This is +, because the child does not move forward.
* Seat belts have a super-clasp that can be opened only by pressing on both sides. Moreover, if you press strictly in the middle, then all fasteners open, and if you press from the side, only one side will open.
* Wheels made of foamed rubber with shock absorbers. Everything! And the impression is that the farther away the softer the depreciation. You can rock the baby by swinging the sidecar from side to side.
*Raincoat. Simple, compact. I put it in a beautician.
* Fabric is easy to wash. Where it is necessary not to get wet, pleasant to the touch in summer and winter.
* It is possible to choose a bumper limiter. What I did. She covered it with fabric in color and texture. It turned out as if native. However, as practice has shown, the bumper is not really needed. We only hang toys on it.
* Really controlled with one hand. Generally, having acquired this stroller after a conversation, I caught myself thinking that the stroller does not bother me. It can be controlled with one finger. Curbs, curbs, pits not a hindrance.
* Quality and materials and seams on level. Very pleased with the window on the hood. It is taped with a wide stripe. Nothing falls off, does not dissolve, does not break.
* Strides the steps. If the steps are not standard, then you can roll the rear wheels.
* Brakes on the two rear wheels. You can click on the brake of any wheel, because both are fixed at once.
* It develops with one hand and foot. Conveniently when the child is in the other hand.

Disadvantages: * Sometimes it creaks, but if we consider that we have been using the pram since last winter. We went with her to the country and never smeared, then it is not such a big drawback.
* With a strong gust of wind, the open hood folds back. I began to fasten it with a chain for the nipples.
* No bumper. In this wheelchair, in principle, it is not needed, because The seat (as I already wrote) has an inclination towards the back and excellent belts. The child is in a wheelchair as in a chair and he does not need to hold on to the bumper.
There is nothing more to complain about. That's it to find fault, because the disadvantages described are not significant.

Comment: We use the stroller for more than 8 months (from 3.5 months). We bought Maklarenovsky envelope-coupling techno HT. I was very worried that a child after a year would not fit in a pram, and even more so in an envelope. My fears were in vain. Even in 2 or even 3 years climbed. Yes, but probably will not be necessary.
The stroller is warm, perfectly protects from the wind. Passable enough. We drove on gravel.It goes tight, but it goes! As the manufacturer writes on the handles, you can not hang anything, otherwise the stroller will turn over. I suppose that if you could hang a bag of potatoes, the stroller would not be so manageable. On the parebrik it would be difficult to call in.
The price matches the quality.
I definitely recommend this stroller. From the wheelchairs it is the best! In principle, even if this stroller is compared with other categories of strollers, it will still be better in many ways.
P.S. In order not to get dirty the hood of the stroller, it is necessary not to refill the UV-visor inside the hood and fold it double. Hood to fill the back. For the wheels, there are still “native” covers, but in Russia, I think, they don’t sell them. I use p / e packages.
