Maclaren Techno XT - any short parents got one?!

[Tinkjon]

re. the Maclaren Techno... the handles are quite high - anybody here under 5.4" and got one? Is it too high for you or not a problem?

[pootleflump]

I have one and I'm only 5ft. It's not a problem for me but I do feel like a little girl pushing the pram for mummy sometimes .

[Tinkjon]

LOL pootle Thanks!

[CarGirl]

I'm 5' and it is too high for me it hurts my elbows and aggrevates my upper back.

[nannyL]

im 5ft 2 and use one

its ok... the handles are adjustable for tall people.. i have them the shortest which is fine

the techno xtis NOT my fav buggy though

[JoyS]

I'm 5'1 and find the handles too high to really push it comfortably. It's all right but hurts my back if I go too far with it. Very sturdy, workhorse-type buggy though.

[SlightlyMadSweet]

I'm 5'2".

I find it OK, it doesn't bother me but I do notice the difference when I go back to my lower Graco occassionally.

[Tapster]

i'M 5ft get a triumph - cheaper and lower down

[katebee]

I'm 5 ft 3 and use one..its great..

[slinkiemalinki]

5ft 3 and no trouble.

[EyeballsintheSky]

I'm with pootie. I'm 5' 2" and also feel like I'm playing with big toys. Not that bothered though as I only plan to use it for holidays. Love my Apple too much to give it up.

[Tinkjon]

Thanks everybody! nannyL, can I ask what your fave is then?

[ThingOne]

I'm 5' 2 1/2 and mine gave me bad back ache when I used it all the time.

Tinkjon...

me favourite buggies
for 1 child: mountian buggy
for 2 children: Phil and Teds E3 (but would love to try a vibe )
and when you need a nippy light weight 'shopping' buggy, the maclaren volo

the quest is ok IMO too but id sooner push a volo

(am not a fan of quinney / buggaboo / micralite buggies either)

(I think that ALL babies / children need 2 buggies and that there is not a buggy that suits all situations from birth - 3 years, and that the buggies that try to, dont suceed and end up not being great at anything )
