This review covers both the Maclaren Techno XT stroller and Maclaren Techno Classic (now discontinued). Stroller ratings on this site are based on hands-on tests and parent interviews. The Maclaren Techno XT gets good scores in all categories (safety, convenience and comfort), with an A+ for driver comfort due to well-padded adjustable handles. However, the model tested is several years old.
