Wanting to get a new pram for ds.(2 yrs)
Narrowed it down to the techno XT and the cybex topaz.

any views/opinions..?

Im only 4ft 11 and think the XT may to be high (although have tried it..testing in a shop is different to everyday use..), also anyone know how high the m&p one is as can't seem to find handle height.

TIA x

I'm 5' 2" and the Techno is slightly too high for me. I still love it but am aware of feeling slightly like a child pushing a shopping trolley

Haven't tried the Cybex but I really really like the look of it.

shhhh · 13/08/2009 19:24

hmm...I can't decide...

Also love the look of the m&p and their cs tell me the height is adjustable but don't know height...

Like the techno as well but never had a maclaren and mner's seem to rave about them...

so at 5ft 2 and its slightly high I guess too high for me...

i would say it would be too high too, the quest would be better for you, they are my fave maclaren buggy and i think i've just about every one!!

i've currently got apples quest in grey/orange and black xt. im 5'3 and the xt is quite noticeably taller than the quest.

ah right...not noticed the quest..maybe because of colours.? ideally wanted black and I think only found the techno xt..

i like bright buggies so i love my apples quest. then i have black xt too so best of both worlds!!

shhhh · 13/08/2009 19:39

I would love a bright pram but always end up with a plain coloured one...

i have a cybex Onyx in my frontroom this evening is thats any good...any questions let me know x

CarGirl · 13/08/2009 20:56

def too high, are maclaren doing a ryder model at the moment as it has shorter handles than the xt. I'm 5' and the XT is horrid to push after a little while.

I've heard poor reviews about the cybex but heard they've relaunched it with different handles so may be better?

shhhh · 13/08/2009 22:02

thanks cargirl .
Nicola, you are as bad as me with buying prams .

kelly, perfect...how high is the handle.? looking at m&p they say its adjustable but I can't find the height.
Im short so need somthing fairly low...is it a flimsy pram..? have you seen a maclaren xt to compare to..? seen an xt today but yet to see the m&p one.
