Maclaren, based out of England, created the very first folding umbrella stroller years ago. And for many years they have been perfecting their art of stroller manufacturing. The company was founded by Owen Maclaren who, prior to forming his stroller company, designed and engineered the under carriages for Britons WWII aircraft. I highlight this fact because Maclaren strollers have aircraft qualities they are made with lightweight aircraft aluminum and durable joints, and they are made with precision folding capabilities. Maclaren uses top-notch materials to build Techno XLR strollers. All-aluminum tubing is used for the stroller frames and the canopies, seats and the storage baskets are made with high quality rip-stop material. Technos canopy and sun visor is generous in size which provides ample protection for your little one, protection from the wind, direct sunlight and rain. It has a UV protected peek-a-boo window that gives moms and dads a birds eye view of their child, and it also has air vents that keep your child comfortable on warm sunny days. Its obvious to me that the Techno XLR seat is very comfortable. Children seem to love the padded multi-position reclining seat and the height adjustable padded 5-point safety harness. There are two other Techno features that help to give your child a comfortable stroller ride. The Techno stroller has all-wheel suspension that eliminates the affects of the bumps in the road. The Techno also sports an adjustable leg rest that helps to support you strolling child regardless of his or her height. The Techno XLR stroller gets a vote from parents too. This stroller is one of the very few lightweight umbrella strollers that is compatible with infant car seats. With this capability the Techno XLR stroller instantly becomes a great value for new parents who can purchase and use this stroller when their child is very young and they can use the Techno for years and years. An accountant would say that Maclaren Techno parents cost per stroll is very low. In addition to the comfort features for children, the Techno stroller provides creature comfort features for parents Features like the easy fold & unfold, store & carry capabilities and the removable & washable seat covers. These features plus storage pockets and a storage basket all contribute to making the parents strolling experience positively enjoyable. When it comes to stroller maneuverability, the Techno is a stroller is considered a top-performer. Given its decent-sized, lockable, swivel wheels, and given its lightweight aluminum frame, the techno stroller is very easy to steer in tight quarters. And whats more, given the all-wheel suspension, your child wont feel the pot holes that is if you cant maneuver around them. When the weather takes a turn for the worse and when the canopy cant fully protect your child from the elements the Tecno XLR has a rain cover that will do the trick. The Techno rain cover clips to the stroller firmly and covers the seating area completely. It effectively protects your child from the wind and the rain. For parents who are either tall or short, youll appreciate the height adjustable stroller handles. With the ability to adjust the handle height, you wont have to reach too high, and you wont have to slump over the handles. With these handles you wont feel fatigued and sore at the end of a long stroll. One last great feature that Maclaren offers parents is the lifetime warrantee. It might not seem like a big deal, but you really cant assign a monetary value to peace of mind. In summary, The Stroller Shop highly recommends Maclaren products and the Maclaren Techno XLR stroller. Its built very well, its lightweight, it accommodates infant car seats, it folds up and is transported quite easily and it gives your child a comfortable and safe ride.
