Anything New for 2006 Mac Techno XT?

[leslieu]

I finally decided what stroller I want to buy. But now my problem is: get the NEW 2006 Techno XT for $300 or get last year's model for $130 less?

Is there any real differance between Maclaren Techno XT 2005 & 2006?

Any help/advise would greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Leslie

I have a 2005 and saw the 2006 recently. The major difference is in the canopy.

-The canopy is easier to see though the little window, 05 is plastic mesh, now it is clear plastic
-Canopy un-zips to release the canopy forward like an accordian and give more sun coverage
-The head pillow may be a little different

Info. definitely helps. I'll get the 2006 since DS likes to nap on long walks.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I also read somewhere (maybe on this board) that the 2006 models may be a pound or two lighter, so that might be another reason to go for an '06.
