Maclaren Baby Stroller – Maclaren Grand Tour LX

If you are looking at the Maclaren Grand Tour LX from a distance, you might mistake it as just another normal stroller. However, once you take a closer look, you will realize it’s anything but a normal stroller. The Maclaren Grand Tour LX is what they call the luxury stroller. For those looking for an all-in-one stroller solution, the Grand Tour LX might just be what you are looking for.

The Maclaren Grand Tour LX measures 36 x 24 x 40 inches and weighs in at 31.3 pounds. The frame is constructed using lightweight and durable aluminum. The list of features of the Grand Tour LX can be quite overwhelming. First off, it comes with a rear and front wheel suspension – a feature not commonly found on normal and basic strollers. The Grand Tour LX is an all-around stroller: it has car seat compatibility, a carry cot that is removable and a reversible seat. However, in order to use the Grand Tour LX with a car seat, you would need to purchase the base separately. Just like its predecessors, the Grand Tour LX comes with a 5-point harness system – a must for strollers to ensure protection. The breaks are linked and can be operated by the foot. The seat of the Grand Tour LX can be reclined with only one hand. The convertible seat can be positioned to face forward or back, depending on your preference. The canopy that comes with the Grand Tour LX is very generous and has a free sun visor. It is created with air vents for breathability and better air circulation.

What elevates the Grand Tour LX to a luxury stroller and what sets it apart from other strollers is the Grand Tour Console. The console controls a bevy of electronic features found on the Grand Tour LX. There is the Strollometer – keeps track of distance and time travelled. The console also takes note of the temperature, so you know if the temperature is just right to walk the baby. And as an added safety measure, the Grand Tour LX is equipped with safety lights that can be controlled using the console. This safety lights illuminate the path that the stroller is taking – perfect for early morning strolls.

One of the biggest drawbacks of the Grand Tour LX is the price. For a stroller, it doesn’t come cheap. However, given the features it brings in the table, the price can be justified. If you can live without the bells and whistles, you might want to look elsewhere. But if you want to have a stroller that is fully loaded, the Grand Tour LX definitely delivers.
