I am with Nicole joy and jvn, the McLaren quest, using a sling for the first few months (which is so much easier when they are little anyway unless you live out in the NT or Stanley or somewhere where you do lots of walking with the pram. Ours has done 2 kids, lots of air travel and is still going strong. I borrow my sister's Techno XT when we visit her overseas and find it so much harder to manoever and much heavier in and out of car/taxi/bus. But it will depend a bit on how you plan to use it.
help re strollers??!!

Hi, if you live on HK island side...it's not as stroller friendly as all the above posters have mentioned. We definitely used the carrier (sleepy wrap and sling are great and then graduated to the ergobaby) which is so much more convenient and I prefer it when going out with baby, but now that I'm pregnant again, it isn't possible. I think the combi is light and uses the one-hand fold so it's way more convenient. We got the Uppababy G-luxe umbrella stroller which is great--super easy to fold and light and it reclines as well, but not available in Hong Kong. You probably won't be using the stroller much until about 4 or 5 months anyway. If you plan to use a stroller that fits the maxicosi carseat, that's a whole other thing...I think the bugaboo bee and quinny zapp/buzz are the easiest to use with that carseat especially if you do plan to travel by taxi a lot. Good luck...it's a tough decision!
I have a super light weight combi and used it from birth ( bb now over 2 yrs old). Love how it is light and one hand fold. I can hold baby in one arm, fold and carry stroller with the other while carrying a diaper bag. It works when I go around " town" like central and cwb.

Hi ive had bugaboo cameleon, bee, maclarens techno and phil and teds when i had my second and i have just bought the cheapest of all a 250 hkd one which is perfect and hold the youngest in a carrier but i would if i went back get the maclarens quest all depends on your build as well im very small and rather weak so you also need something that wont break your back pushing and lifting. i think the quest for hk is perfect happy shopping 
Thank you for all your replies.. its a whole new world for us!! But I really appreciate all your suggestions and advice.. We live in a Relatively(hong kong version!!) stroller friendly area but I spend alot of time in Central etc and I really need to consider that as well. Thanks again
I brought one Nuna Stroller/Buggy from UK last year for my little boy, it looks so great, and works very well too. It can be used from new born until 4 y plus. I just heard from my friend that Nuna Buggy is also avaialble in HK now, the shop name is called Cosmo Beebies...sth like this...
Hi
Thanks Chuckles for posting this thread and all the respondents!
After reading this thread, I my decision to buy the Maclaren Techno XT or Quest (plus a few attachments) now feels the right one for me.
1) Anyone know where this is currently retailing the cheapest in HK?
2) If not, which stores should I call in advance to get prices for comparison?
Thanks for any help
Kate

Cheapest in HK if you have membership is Eugene club. Or you can purchase it at Mothercare or Bumps to Babes in order to get their membership if you want it - it will cost a little more, but then you have membership which I think is for life and you don't have to "pay" for the membership (other than spending a certain amount in store). When you add up what you will save, it MAY be worth it to pay a little more for the stroller and get one of those memberships. But Eugene is a bit cheaper.
combi is quite a good choice if you travel via public transportation much
i had one which is Japan version (not available to sell in HK), it can be used from birth

we have maclaren techno xt (from birth +) for my 6 month year old and the quest for my 3 year old. my techno was from my first in 2007 and is in great shape. i find the maclarens great for traveling @ asia - easy to get in taxis with and gate check-ins.
