Maclaren Techno XT

Does anyone have this stroller? Do you like it? Is it easy to use, fold, steer?

Re: Maclaren Techno XT

I have this stroller, and unfortunatley I don't recommend it. I bought it from a friend who never used it. I got it for $150, instead of the retail $300 that it was at the time. It was still in the box with the tags on it. I have had it for two years now, but the brakes stopped working after a year. I hadn't used it that much either, so I couldn't understand why the brakes went. I have a Graco stroller and only used the Macalaren when I needed a light easy to manuever stroller. Maybe once a month, if that. I called to see if I could get them fixed and they said I would have to ship it to them and it would cost about $70 to fix. For that amount I could go out and get a cheaper stroller that works better. On the model I have it is also a pain in the neck to get the seat to lie all the way back. I can't explain how it works, but it is annoying and I have to fiddle with it to get the seat even on both sides. Also when my dh pushes it, he is always stepping on the wheels, even when he raises the handle bars higher. Maybe he takes big steps, but we don't have a problem with our Graco stroller. I am sure they have improved it over the years, but I would never buy another Maclaren stroller after this one. I am just glad I didn't pay full price for it or I would really be upset.
