With tons of baby buggy brands present in the market, it’s usual especially for new parents to be confused with which products to go for. There are a lot of considerations, of course: the budget, the reliability and durability of the carrier, the apparent comfort it can offer the baby and for some, the ‘look’ is among the top requirements, too. No self-respecting fashionable parent would want to be caught dead pushing a ‘grocery stroller’ stuffed with cushions—with a baby inside.
Maclaren is one of the most trusted brands in the market when it comes to baby buggies as their designs provide a comfortable fusion of durability, convenience and class. They have several lines of Maclaren Prams, Maclaren Pushchairs and strollers to fit the different stages of your child’s buggy years.
As for those who are still confused with the difference among prams, pushchairs and strollers, prams are usually made to carry babies from 0-3 months. Pushchairs are usually for babies below 1-2 years of age, depending upon the size of the child, while strollers are for toddlers who can already fully support their backs. The good news is that most strollers nowadays have chairs with adjustable reclining angles to accommodate babies from birth to toddler hood.
Maclaren strollers offer several designs that your child can use throughout his/her buggy years. The designs are perfect for parents living in the city who need a stroller that is durable enough to withst
and the constant folding and stuffing into the back of the car and the busy pushing crowd in the malls while still maintaining class and elegance.
The chair can be reclined into four levels, the highest setting being 44 in which means that it carry newborns who are still too young to support their backs until they reach their toddler years when they’d mostly just need the stroller to rest or sleep when outside. The stroller folds in the same way as the other Maclaren strollers and it can stand while folded, too, which can save a lot of storage space.
But the best feature of XLR is probably its maneuverability. It was designed with two handles but due to its light weight and bigger wheels that can handle most terrains, it can be stirred with just one hand and can be folded with one hand, as well. The handles’ height is also adjustable to meet provide a comfortable pushing posture for the parent. The break wheels at the back are linked together which means that activating one of the wheels would also activate the other.
Although the XLR is more or less just an upgrade of the XT, it won’t hurt to spend a little more to ensure your child gets the comfort he or she deserves during his/her developmental first few years.
