Maclaren buggys – which model?
Hi have decided to go for a maclaren buggy – tried the techno xlr but it was too big when folded for my car boot. Thinking of the quest model – just wondering how this compares to other maclaren models and whether any others are preferable or better? Any advice gratefully received – Thanks.
Hi,
I used to work for Mothercare and you can’t go far wrong with a Maclaren.
The Techno is great, but a cheaper alternative is the Triumph (which I have for my one-year old). Its not suitable from birth as it doesn’t recline flat, but suitable from 3 months onwards (those three months just fly!) it does have an adjustable recline and a weathershield and its very light.
There is also a Volo but you only get the basic stroller and then have to add everying you need to it, I would steer clear.
Again, like a previous responder I didn’t buy from Mothercare I shopped around and got last year’s colours from a large Boots store for £35 less then half price. Always shop around for these large purchases and kiddicare is a great site.
Congrats on your new arrival.

I had a Quest for my son and it was a fantastic buggy. It’s light, easy to put in the boot, one handed folding etc, good space underneath. My son always found it comfy.
Just a tip, try http://www.kiddicare.com. I got my Quest for loads less than the Mothercare etc price.

We’ve had Quest for our son- it was fantastic!
)) now- but it got good use for this time.We’ve bought cheep basic one for son to use sometimes- he is 3 and a half now.
Light, easy to fold and un fold, reclined seat, roomy basket, good stroller!
We had it for 3 years, its on his last legs now- well wheels
We’ve bought Jane Pro for younger one- she was 3 mths then, it is different- much highier suspended, bigger wheels, wider seat- perfect for under year old.
But if I would need stroller for a todldler I would go for maclaren again!

I have a Triumph. I wanted a light umbrella stroller, nothing too big. I went with the Triumph because the Volo (at that time) didnt have a canopy.
I LOVE my Mac and recommend it to everyone. Its worth every penny. Im currently using it for my second child.
