I purchsed the maclaren XT as though is wasmore expensive i thought it would last for a 2nd child, how wrong was I. It was great for the first child and we used it every day. Handy pockets in hood and flip down hood, though the breaks had to be kicked on and then never came off again so had to be kicked again so I gave up using them and held onto to it. The seat is so lightly padded that I had to glue a piece of foam onto the rear of the seat as you can feel the frame through the seat. The rear wheels rub on the brakes and make it hard to push. It is a good buggy if you only want to use it for one child, but for the price you may as weel get a cheaper one and re purchase with each child. Its a shame as the seat fabric has only shown sighs of wear on the reflective trim, I have contacted maclaren for a new set of rear wheels but told the axel has been upgraded and would be costly to replace. Yes it is a good buggy but not worth the money.
