 | It's no wonder this compact and stylish pushchair is a Mother & Baby Awards winner. Weighing in at only 7.7kg, and benefiting from a smart folding mechanism that lets you close it flat with one hand, this child's pushchair can be easily transferred to the car, bus, train, or anywhere else you care to take it. And it doesn't just make your life more comfortable either - with a four-position reclining seat, adjustable head-rest/shoulder pads, full suspension and flip-down sun visor and hood, it's suitable from birth and will easily adapt to your growing child. Comes with lockable front wheels, for safety on any incline, and the adjustable handles mean it's kind on your back. The tilting hood and PVC rain cover also ensure your little one is well protected in his pushchair whatever the weather. Useful info:

Comments about Maclaren Techno XT Pushchair - Charcoal:
very happy with this item it is one of the best pushchairs i have owned an being a mum of 4 i have owned a few :o) It is light easy to push great handle hight as it is adjusted to the perfect hight for yourself. Easy to collapse for the boot or bus an can be carried one handed. I don't reccomend the double version of this it is the total opposite of the single an a complete nightmare. The only down side being the price and if you want the matching cosey toes its an extra £50

Comments about Maclaren Techno XT Pushchair - Charcoal:
I originally bought this item on the advice of a Mothercare Assistant and it was the worst thing I could have done. I thought it would be brilliant with the bigger hood, esp as I live in the Highlands where it is windy most of the time and it keeps the wind out fine and is great when you want them to go to sleep. But it is very bumpy for the poor little on inside it as there is basically no suspension at all! The harness is exceptionally hard to open - I had thought this was due to it being new and it would loosen over time, but I've had it over a year now.
I have to get buses everywhere and I find it very hard to lift on and off and quite bulky. It does have a part at the side that prevents it from opening which is good but it could really do with a carry handle.
There is a seat cover that you are supposed to be able to take out and clean but it is very difficult to get this off as you have to unhook the straps first. The material is easy to wipe clean though and if you give it a good vacum every so often it keeps it nice.
The best things about this are definitely the hood with the sun visor and pocket in the back. And the foot rest is also great for little ones and when they are younger there are parts at the side of the seat that you can pull out and it enables them to lie completely flat with their feet up which is great but very very bumpy.
I should also mention the seat recline is not easy to put up and down and you may find you have to do one side at a time, which is quite annoying when you have a sleeping child. I would say save your money and get a travel system instead.

More Information
Buying Guide
Strollers
2-handled, lightweight, compact and easily collapsible, they're great for public transport and travel. They're often suitable from as young as 3-6 months.
Pushchairs
Flat-folding with most offering enough protection and support for the newborn. Great if you love walking as the larger, lockable swivel wheels are easier to handle both on-and off-road. The larger basket's a real bonus when shopping.
Twins and Tandems
These pushchairs take 2 - twins sit next to each other - and tandems one behind the other in a standard width pushchair.
Travel systems
Economical 2-in-1 pram/pushchairs ideal if you use a car for most journeys as they include an extra infant carrier/car seat that also fits directly onto the frame.

Clothing
All our children's clothes allow generous room for growth and most are dual sized by age. Use the guide above and the measurements provided to ensure you order the correct size.
Footwear

Please check the size chart has printed out to the correct size by measuring the scale at the bottom of the chart, this must measure 10cm otherwise the indicated size may not be accurate.
Please fold the paper along the dotted line and place the chart on a hard surface against an immovable vertical surface such as a skirting board to help gain an accurate measure.
Place the left foot on the chart and record the length of the foot (e.g. 2¼) repeat for the right foot (e.g. 2½).
Based on these results a size 3 would be selected. As most people's feet are not the same size the size of shoe is determined by the largest foot.
Children will also need some growing room so if the fitting indicates either foot is longer than the full size it may be beneficial to order the next size up.
