Maclaren Major

My son is disabled and when he started getting too big for a regular stroller our physiotherapist referred us to the wheelchair service. We asked to get the Major but the physio was reluctant because she felt it didn't provide enough support. The wheelchair service gave us a large comfortable pushchair which whilst it suited our sons needs is really big and cumbersome and didn't really fit in our carboot.

It only has one position - can't lie back and doesn't come with any ...  Read the complete review

My son has always been big for his age, but unfortunately, due to a disability, he also finds walking very difficult. By the time he was three he found standard buggies very uncomfortable and it was time to get something a little bigger so that he could travel in style.

Maclaren Major Elite - Advantages: High level of comfort for child throughout the seasons, Great street cred! Its so up to date in technology and style, Unbelievably easy to fold up, fold down, store, manooovre, push , get in and out of shops, up and down hills - the worlds' your oyster with this buggy, it knocks the socks off other buggies made with special needs families in mind! - Disadvantages: Can't think of any disadvantages except that if you buy the buggy from new you only get the basic structure buggy and will need to buy all the extras separately, but I would rather by the ones I need than pay for them and not use them, It's so tough it's difficult to see it wearing out, what a shame for those of us who like to shop- it won't need replacing for yearrrs., I'ts only made in single buggy form at the moment I think, perhaps one day they will adapt it to a tandem for those of us who love it so much but need to transport two children (or more).
