Maclaren strollers have me drooling

April 15th, 2009

     I have never felt like I wanted to spend a lot on a stroller, but in the search for a stroller that would allow my tall husband to push comfortably , I have been led to the Maclaren Techno XT and Techno XLR.  Two fantastic strollers that have handles that are adjustable in height.  They move wonderfully, are well made, hold resale value should you want to sell it when finished, and they are fab looking!

I also stumbled upon the slick Grand Tour promo from Maclaren and wow!!!!  They refer to it as a “crossover” stroller…they also refer to it’s “chassis” and “dashboard.”  A real baby vehicle and I can’t help but think of Ralphy in “A Christmas Story”since it also has “this thing that tells time.”  When I watch this I do feel like Ralphy probably felt when he laid his eyes on the famous Red Ryder B B gun for the first time.  Looks like an amazingly fabulous stroller! 

You certainly can tell how these strollers began in the mind of a former aeronautical engineer who became a grandfather and wanted his grandchildren and their parents to have a functional, safe, durable and well designed strollers.

Okay—I am going to go wipe the drool off of my face…
