The long awaited and much anticipated Maclaren Grand Tour LX has finally arrived. We are one of the first in the U.S. to receive many of the Grand Tour LX and let me tell you, they are quite a sight. Maclaren really has gone all out with this new all in one package. We had Nicole, an awesome Maclaren brand representative at our store today to show us all the different features and tips and tricks for this new beauty.
We will be making a complete overview video this week showing all the different features and toy packages that this stroller comes with. The box comes with literally everything you need and then some which is literally a “christmas present” feel as you open the box for the first time. The stroller rivals most luxury cars for styling and has top notch comfort on the main seat and infant cot. The folding could not be any easier and it’s quite useful that the seat can be faced towards or away from you as well as provides 3 sitting positions. The Nano Tech fabric is stain resistant and water resistant as well which is on the coverlet, seat, and hood (Wait until you feel this stuff!).
The stroller has a strollometer built in that is wireless that shows you tons of information about your walking speed and distance. On the handlebar also comes a temperature gauge
and time clock which are very classic looking. Inside where these are hidden you also have a cell phone holder which is nice for keeping it within arms reach at all times.
I can go on and on about all the things they have done right with this stroller. The rain cover and mosquito cover are always with you and hang right beneath the seat instead of at home or in the car when you need them most! Tons of storage pockets all over and a very generous parcel tray with carrying bag underneath. The stroller also comes with a matching diaper/messenger bag that attaches right onto the stroller and also has a strap to be taken on it’s own. The brakes are very easy to use and require little to no effort to engage. Cup holder can be attached anywhere on the stroller and has sense enough to be able to hold a bottle or your favorite Starbucks mix.
When the stroller folds up it is free standing for easy storage in a closet or garage area. To keep your riding in style, Maclaren also includes a storage cover. This is the first and currently only stroller from Maclaren that has a bumper bar which may we add has a pretty slick looking logo on it. The front wheels are lockable which will give you a true all terrain feel when strolling over cobblestone and other rough pavements. The stroller has a full suspension so your little one can enjoy the ride without being jarred around.
Overall, this stroller is 10 out of 10. The price may be a sticker shock at first, but you have to realize when you add up the accessories that are included you really won’t need anything for the rest of your stroller pushing career. The stroller will accomodate up to 65 pounds so when you think of the length you’ll be using “one” stroller it really ends up being a great buy when you consider it will do the work of 3 different stroller types all in one. The stroller comes with a “LIFETIME WARRANTY” which is just shouting loud and clear that Maclaren really stands behind their products and the quality of their Grand Tour LX.
