Maclaren Techno XT or Silver Cross Pop 2 pushchair?

[YourBlueTurtle]

Maclaren XT techno or silvercross pop 2? Will be used for days out and holidays for a few years so wanting it to be comfortable for naps etc.

The silver cross has a comfortable seat up to a decent weight limit and I really liked the extendable hood. However the hood detached itself every time I folded it and it was a bit stiff to fold. It was also still quite large even when folded and wouldn’t stay folded without the Velcro strap around it. I haven’t a big boot on my car and it would only go in diagonally as it was so long. Also I found the straps really hard to do up around a resisting toddler.

I haven’t had a Maclaren Techno xt but many years ago I had a different maclaren which was a lot more user friendly than the silver cross pop.

That said, if I was getting a pushchair for holidays and days out I’d be tempted to get one that folds smaller than either of those (especially if holidays would involve hire cars) as umbrella folds are generally a bit awkward and not actually that small. (And I would definitely buy it second hand)
