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?

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 .

LOL pootle Thanks!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

5ft 3 and no trouble.

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.

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

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 )
