Maclaren is an established name when it comes to children’s transport. Rather like “hoover”, the trade name has almost become shorthand for lightweight umbrella fold pushchairs. When I found that the Maclaren Quest was part of the buggy test I was to take part in I was delighted. Maybe it was the fact that I had had a Maclaren as a child and recall pushing my sister (badly) in a Maclaren, but I had an almost romantic notion of how good it would be. Unlike more modern brands such as Mamas and Papas and the newly resurrected Silver Cross I didn’t expect bells and whistles, just good old-fashioned reliability. I was not let down. This buggy looks and performs really ...  Read the complete review

By the time my daughter moved up to the next stage carseat I had a sore back, was constantly slouching, and had lost all patience with trying to connect my heavy car seat to the bulky chassis, and trying to get this heavy contraption in and out of my dinky little car. So when it was time to say bye bye big buggy, I was more than happy to trade in my sturdy, but cumbersome model for a lightweight and flexible little stroller. Having checked out various options we opted for the nifty Maclaren Quest Mod, for its range of excellent features, good reputation and equally good looks. I know it's not important what a buggy looks like, yet I fell in love with the ...  Read the complete review

As my son gets older, it is becoming more of a pain to take him out in his big pushchair. I have a bugaboo cameleon which is a really great pushchair, but not so handy when you have to hop on a bus or in and out of the car. You really need 3 hands! I decided I needed a lightweight buggy too which would be easier for folding down on the bus, for popping to the shops and for travelling. I initially bought a Graco Mojo, which was a nightmare and ended up being donated to a friend for her grandson. After much looking around and review reading I made a visit to Mothercare to test drive some lightweight buggies and I saw the Quest. I loved it because ...  Read the complete review

I bought a Maclaren Quest for my daughter when she turned two as i just needed a nice lightweight stroller for her when we went on long journeys and she refused to walk! I didnt think much of the Maclaren strollers until I actually bought one, there amazing there very light weight, realy easy to push nice sized shopping basket, they also recline realy flat so your children can have a comfortable sleep which is always a good thing. They do some realy nice colours in this pram aswell i purchased a light pink one but with a 2 year old probably not the best colour as it gets dirty pretty quickly. The only problem i have had with this puschair is the brake at ...  Read the complete review

I have had in total 3 maclaren buggys before for my 2 children. I bought this one about 6 months ago for my 18 month old. It came with a raincover, which is a must have for the uk!! The buggy itself folds up very neatly and quite compact, and has a handle on the side so is very easy to hold whilst travelling etc. The covers and straps are also removable for washing and are pretty simple to put back on aswell, (thank god)! It has a storage basket underneath and is of a good size to put lots of things in. I can get my handbag, nappies, wetwipes, umberella and the rain proof cover in it, plus a few small toys! I do have moans about it ...  Read the complete review
