I have been looking for a new stroller for us, as the stroller that we use to get around in airports, malls, and just places, in general, has a broken wheel and isn't working too well. We love the brand, though, (Maclaren) and have had two of them. (I have a BOB Revolution that I keep at home for just walking/jogging. Those are great, too, but they are just recreational strollers as they are big.)
Maclaren's collapse incredibly easy, are fairly light, and make traveling with them a breeze. Believe me, this is important when you are trying to do this one handed by yourself in the jetway on an airplane by yourself with a toddler in tow in the other hand. (or a variety of other situations: parking lots, etc) We had a Combi before that, and maybe it was the one we had but it was really difficult to collapse. I hated it.
Anyway, when searching the other day, I happened to stumble across a deal at Babyage.com for a Maclaren 2005 Techno XT Stroller for 159.00. This is a deal people. Really. I had Triumphs before, and I paid the same price for them, and they are a lot further down the "food chain", so to speak. This was a $299.00 stroller in 2005. You can't get a better stroller for a better price. I snapped it up, and you should, too. It's a great stroller to take to China, and it's just a great stroller to have, in general. This is a great time to buy gear as 2006 models are coming out, but look at the other sites I have listed. They still have the stroller in the $200 price range.
Look at:
Tiny Ride
Amazon
Babycenter (They still are selling the 2004 model, not the 2005 model!)
Anyway, just a heads up. I sound like an advertisement, don't I?

I. can't. look. at this. My husband jokes that I "collect" strollers! You know, you need the light weight one, the jogging one, the unbrella one...and then you have another child and need all of these in the "doible" version! No more strollers for us!!!
