20 Most Recent Maclaren Twin Techno Storm Umbrella Stroller Questions & Answers

The Maclaren umbrella strollers are made to be as light as possible, often using a thin-wall aluminium tubing which is very vulnerable to bending where it is drilled to attach things to - the points where rivets and suchlike are placed are downright weak and unless great care is used and you have a lot of luck attempting to straighten a bend results in fracturing the tube. In the case of a fracture all is not lost and repairs can be made. After some gentle reshaping the break can either have a splint or sleeve fitted or because it is a tube an insert could be used to bridge the break, or both methods for a really strong repair. Such a repair that is well executed and a good adhesive used can be stronger than before. Professionals that repair baby buggies and carriages are few and far between and expensive but the task is within the scope of any good handyman that collects odd bits of tubing "in case they come in handy one day". Almost everyone knows someone like that or should know them...

i find the clips on the side that keep it closed keep sticking when im opening the buggy so i unclip one side and pull it apart then do the other side once the wheels start falling press down on the metal frame with your foot - do this on both sides and it should be open :)

Basically you need to lift up the middle section of the bars at the back of each seat and then push forward on the handles.

Hope this is helpful.

You don't mention which side failed? It's usually the female one in the cover. Try your local haberdashery / local sewing supply shop. take the cover in and they can try to match it. You may need to sew a small piece of reinforcement material into the cover.

Fabulous stroller, but will not work for the needs of preemies. The recline is not completely flat, which is required. This stroller will be a great addition to your coral when the babies are a bit older, and can maintain head control, about 4-6 months of age, before then, they need to be laid down flat .

For an instruction manual, please look at:
