The Real "Maclaren"

Maclaren have been a household baby brand for many years. Their umbrella folding competitors have been made to look like second choice beside them and as far as we are concerned they have just got better and better. I bought my first Maclaren buggy at 15- before I had a baby I might add- but I was so worried that my sister would buy the wrong buggy that I bought her the best Maclaren on the market at the time (the then equivalent of the XT). 

Since my sister's buggy I have had just about every Maclaren on the market from the Volo to the Twin. The volo is an excellent lightweight convenience buggy (not from newborn) but the more luxurious buggies such as the XT and now XLR are equally good in terms of convenience and also great for hardier use. 

They do wear out after a while- but that is merely testament to the fact that you will use it day in day out. The only things these buggies are not good for are country, rough or beach terraine- otherwise they are access all areas. 

The XLR takes Maclaren to the next level. A travel system designed to give the buggy the use of a more substantial push-chair with the baby sleeping bag and car seat it combines the convenience of Maclaren with the luxury and comfort of other (and I might add far pricier) brands. 

And then there are the designer buggies. We love the spotty Cath Kidston one and the Butcher's stripe but there are loads of great ones to choose from....and
the twins which are really narrow and light with individually reclining seats and comfortable handles are fab for twins about town. - although a single handle would make folding more difficult it would make pushing a lot easier when on the phone or carrying a bag.

Maclaren are taking over the buggy world, with nothing they can't provide, we think they are the affordable real McCoy. Luxury with a proper price tag and all the extras to go with.
