Hello,

Does anyone know how the UK made Techno different than the U.S. verion? How does this stroller differ from the Quest? Also, is the Techno different than the XT, or is there only one Techno?

Thanks

Maclaren started making the Techno in 2000. These are the first ones to have the ergonomic foam-grip handles. They were also made in the UK. They are smaller in size and lighter in weight than the later model Technos.

In around 2002, Mac Techno XT came out with the ski-pole type of handles that are now also adjustable. They are also made in China, bigger, heavier than its predecessor.

Then in 2004, there came the Techno XT and Techno Classic as we know now. They still both have ski-pole handles, bigger wheels and are bigger in size and heavier in weightthan the 2000-2001 ones. These are made in China.

So, there are quite a bit of a model changes in the UK-made ones to the current ones. And there is no US-version Technos. They are the same models worldwide just either made in the UK in 2001 and 2001 or in China for the newer ones.

The new ones have a lot more padding.

I love my 2001 China-made techno...still much lighter than the ones of today.

They still have some for sale on dmart2000.com
