A few years ago I bought a steelcraft stroller that looked to me just like the maclaren buggy but much cheaper.... after pushing it around for a while (maybe after only a couple of weeks) I found the front wheels to not turn easily, I had to use both hands to push & especially turn it. Now I have my maclaren which I can push & turn easily with only one hand.
Its a real delight to use & takes up next to no room in the boot.
Something for you to look out for.... if any of the baby shops have a discount on maclaren strollers & have sold out or theres not a store near you, remember that David Jones guarantees to price match & they sell maclaren strollers.
I recently saw the maclaren Ryder on sale at toys r us down from $449.99 to $299.99. I called my local toys r us store & as I suspected, they had sold out of the strollers. I then called my local babies galore store & asked if they'd do a price match which they wouldn't. So I headed to David Jones & they were having a sale at the time. I showed the lady behind the counter the catalogue for toys r us & she happily said she'll match the price for me. THEN she put the extra discount on aswell! So I ended up getting my $449.99 stroller for $239.99!
Moral of the story.... if you see it on special somewhere you can get david jones to match it!
(Sorry about the ramble, just trying to help & make sure you can get a bargain when possible!)
we've decided that we will get the techno but were going to wait until after baby is born . we figure we can use a sling or something similar until we get the baby bonus and actually have enough to pay for it. lol.
