Advice please! Maclaren Quest or Techno XT - which do I need?

[mintymellons]

DD2 is 16 months. We have been transporting her in a Quinny Buzz until now, but both she and the pram (lovely though it is) are rather heavy and it's time to switch to a lightweight option.

I've just dug DD1's old Maclaren Triumph out and DD2 has been out in it this morning but it's a bit tatty and rusty, so needs replacing.

Question is, do I get a Maclaren Quest or a Techno XT. Bearing in mind that DD2 will be using it less and less as time goes by, but also taking into account that she'll still be in it a fair bit over the coming winter, so I want something sturdy (especially if we have snow like last year!).

Equally, any other recommendations will be gratefully received.

TIA

I'd say XT, but really, LAITR is right, bjcm is much better.

Have had all three and prefer BJCM

Thanks.

I've noticed the Baby Jogger seems to crop up a lot and is highly recommended. My only concern is that it looks a bit 'pushchairy' if that makes sense and I really want it to be more 'buggyish' and be suitable to use for the next 18 months or so as DD2 gets older. Think I need to have a look at one in RL - can't say I've ever seen any, but bet there are loads out there!

i bought a brand new xt, and although it was a nice buggy,i felt the wheels a bit 'plasticky' it was also quite hard to recline/fold because it was new,
i sold it and bought an older xt and i LOVE it, my ds is 2.5yo and i only use it on a long day out or holiday,but my 7yo was unwell on holiday and just wanted to sleep, we stuck him in the xt so we could still go and do things and he managed to snooze quite happily in it!

Thank you.

The thing about sticking the scooter on the handlebars really swings it for the BJCM!
