Maclaren is considered as among the top names in the stroller manufacturing industry these days. The company was founded by an English aeronautic engineer in 1965 that had this desire to enhance the quality of his granddaughter's clunky pram. On that same year, the company has released the patent and design of Owen Maclaren's 'Baby buggy'. His initial invention was a tree dimensional folding stroller that had the same purpose as a pram or buggy but is something that can be folded up like an umbrella.
The firm is now a leading distributor of high quality upscale strollers and accessories across the United States and even in continental Europe. The firm advertises itself as the perfect stroller to match the needs of many contemporary urban parents with that metro recognized snob look for the likes of Manhattan and London parents. Maclaren's strollers have been featured by Harrods in their "Truly British Campaign" in the year 2005. The company doesn't only offer strollers but also toys, baby essentials, accessories, baby carriers, buggies, Maclaren leather, Kate Spade, Burberry, Maclaren by Stark and Beginning.
Contours Kolcraft Stroller
Maclaren's finest design ideas have been put into investment into making all their strollers amazingly lightweight yet durable and convenient to use. There are several brand models that sell for even less than a hundred dollars, but mostly their units go beyond 0, with their full strollers running a little over 0. Among Maclaren's popular models include the award winning Techno XT and the lightweight luxurious Triumph. The firm also recently released its first ever jogging stroller named as the 'Mac 3', which apparently isn't much of a jogger but a hybrid 'all terrain stroller' for walkers. So far, reviews from the Mac 3 have been mixed with complaints from serious walkers and runners regarding its wheel quality and steering issues with the Mac3.
Their strollers still focus on their distinct lightweight and functional features, like that of a buggy. Their strollers offer the following features:
· Carry straps
· Hoods
· Single hand fold units
· Removable/washable seats
· Five point harness system
· Ergonomic and durable handles
· Lockable wheels
Here are some of the most popular baby strollers manufactured by the company.
The Easy Traveler Stroller. This unit is popular for its lightweight design and is perfect for individuals who have back troubles. The stroller can be folded and stored easily. Its mesh basket is huge with the stroller size to be around 22 inches wide and 37 inches long. Its large size is enough to keep diaper bags and it fits most car seats. But its width is something that is totally not easy to maneuver along shopping malls and other busy sidewalks.
The Techno Xlr Buggy Stroller. This baby stroller boasts a comfy ride for your infant. It is also very roomy which lets your baby stretch out and also have fun during the ride. This is the only model that can be attached in the car seat. It also highlights front & rear wheel suspensions for a smooth ride, a nice extendable leg rest and a car seat bar adapter.
Volo Stroller Model. Made up of lightweight aluminum, this model is fast and easy to carry with its shoulder carry strap. This stroller also features a five point harness and has foot operated wheel brakes.
There are still plenty of Maclaren stroller models you can find in many department stores and home depots these days. Along with its other competition such as Peg Perego, the company aims to deliver only the best high quality strollers for your baby's needs.
