Comments about Maclaren Techno XT Stroller - Charcoal on Silver Frame:

This stroller is very user specific. We use it primarily for travel and short shopping trips with tight spaces.

Pros:
1. pretty lightweight, roomy for the kid-o/baby, larger sunshade (or for Washington, 'rain' protection) 2. Folds and unfolds compactly, easily
3. Easy and comfy strap system 4. FULLY reclines (rare for umbrella stroller) 5. Super durable (again, rare for umbrella stroller). 6. Great easy to use rain cover-- perfect for the NW. I can flip it up on top of the shade when not in use. 7. Won't break on you. These things last forever. 8. Great resale value! You'll likely still get at least half its value back.

Cons: *most of these cons are what I call 'non-negotiables. 1. Small basket & sun shade (if the basket was larger or the canopy were larger, it would not fold as compactly.)2. Very expensive, you'd better use it a ton to get its worth! 3. No parent tray or belly bar (again, wouldn't be as compact with one). I do use the Sunshine Kid console-- cheap and works great with this stroller!
