here goes. new features
2 large pockets that are side by side. running whole length of back of hood. big enough to get raincover in one (and even close it over) and leave the other free for key/purse (leaving backet free too
huuuuuuge viewing window at rear.
new handles are same material as old one. with a smoother tecture. plus the have silver "neck brace" at bottom of handles. and the tips are silver with logo's. stunning handles imo.
raincover has been vastly improved. the bottom is a wipe down material for muddy feet. and the eyelets for hooking onto pushchair are on the matierial part (material on top too for this). this stops the fault the old raincovers had of bursting when you were wrestling to get them on and off the little knobs in the rain. raincover also has very small vents at top too which stop steaming up.
wheels are same size as xlr i would say. very large. and on the outside the hub is reflective which is very pretty. on the inside it's the standard maclaren full fascia hub with logo.
the harness is the new style on the xlr with the double pressure point. fab for toddlers as they can excspe from these ones. new logo's are lovely too.
all material is a very nice wipedown material similar to that of a good waterproof jacket. with a canvas type material on footrest with a plastic/rubber coating.
headhugger is large. and has various slots. could be used up to about 2yo. i'm only not using as ds who's almost 3yo will be too tall. however i could use with dd as goes right to the top of the seat.
luggage tag is off a very tough bendable rubber. and nice looking.
all in all. i'm very impressed. shame it wont get much use until ds goes to nursery and its just me and dd
