I have been offered an old Maclaren. Here's what I know about it:

* The fabric is blue with teddy bears.
* The label on the back says X265 and B152 below that.

I called Maclaren customer service and all they could tell me was that it was an old model -- X266 was a model in 1999, so it was probably from 1997 or 1998.

Can anyone tell me anything about this stroller to help me decide if I want it?

Thanks!

I think it might be a Sprint and probably 1998. What Mac told you made sense, I guess. The reason I guess it's a Sprint because I think in 1998, it might be the only model with animal prints. The rest of the models are either the sporty solids or mostly plaids anyway.

Does it have the extended legrest? And can the seat be reclined? The Sprint didn't have the extended legrest and has 2 positions recline. If I have to pick one 2005 model to compare to the Sprint, I think I would say it's similar to the current Triumph. But with the traditional handles, rather than foam-grip.

If you like how it is handled, you might just decide based on how much and how good the condition.
