It seems that for a lot of people, the baby buggy that ticked all the boxes is the Maclaren Techno XT. One of these fabulous pushchairs can be picked up for under £150 if you do your research.
This baby buggy can be used from birth and gives a comfortable walk to the shops as the large plush seat can lay flat so baby can sleep. The seat can be moved up or down in one smooth glide movement without waking baby, which is another plus of this baby buggy. Other “from birth” buggies don’t lie as flat, or have jerky movements when adjusting the seat. Some can also interfere with the legs of the person walking, but not the Maclaren Techno XT. This comes complete with chest pads and a head hugger for ultimate comfort and an adjustable leg rest which also makes it more comfortable for baby or toddler.
It is a lightweight baby buggy weighing in at 6.8kg and made of an aluminium frame. The front wheels have reflective strips on and are multi position – lockable and swivel and alongside the suspension, makes it easy to steer one handed and over all types of terrain. Brakes are good too, very sturdy and easy to put on.

Another plus of this pushchair, is that it has ergonomically designed handles which are height adjustable for the taller person. Although I have read that the height of the handles are not that great for shorter people!?
The Techno XT is an umbrella folding baby buggy and it fits easily into the boot of most cars (according to reviews) and it is easy to put up and take down, in fact it can even be done with one hand! Due to it’s compact size, it also doesn’t take up much room when storing in the house.
There is a large see through area in the hood which is UV protected and makes a great viewing window to keep an eye on your little one. It also has some handy pockets at the back of the seat and reflective piping strips along the seat. The raincover is fantastic, very lightweight, easy to put on and not too bulky to store away.
However, the biggest plus of this baby buggy, is the integral sunshade. From the small UV shade, the larger shade zips out and tilts down to cover the majority of the pushchair, meaning no more tiny parasols and adjusting depending on the sun!
The down sides to this baby buggy are that it does not come complete with a footmuff and as such, it is a bit fiddly to fit one due to having to remove the straps before it is fitted. Also, mention has been made to the shopping basket underneath, of it being rather small and when baby is lying down, it’s almost impossible to get at it.
To be honest, these are never huge things and only meant to possibly store the rain cover and maybe a few bits of shopping.
So that’s my opinion (and the opinion of many others) on the Maclaren Techno XT, happy shopping!
