Any experts out there in the Maclaren Stroller field?

Does anyone know if the newer models of the maclaren twins accomodate higher weight limits, or does it differ between the model (ie techno, traveller, etc.)? I have been searching for a Maclaren Twin and have noticed that some listings for older models say a max weight limit of 80lbs, but on Maclaren' s website I saw models that said a max limit of 110lbs. Anyone know the answer? I really need the extra weight limit, so I want to make sure if I buy used that I know what weight limit it really has. Thanks!!

Both the Twin Traveller and the Twin Techno have a max weight limit of 110lbs... 55lbs per seat.

Hope that helps. :)

Even though Maclaren used to advertise 40lbs per seat, people have called them and confirmed that the newer stroller weight increase can be applied retroactive. Strollerqueen also did a bit of an investigation into this and came to the conclusion that the weights are a guideline, and you should discontinue use of a stroller when it shows signs of straining under the weight.

My 35lb son still rides around in the Maclaren *doll* stroller and it's only just starting to look a bit strained.. :)
