Comparison of Maclaren Strollers

Standard Features

• When shopping for a Maclaren stroller, you will find that all models have some features that are standard. Standard safety features include a 5-point harness, a highly visible foot brake and a hand strap that allows you to keep hold of the stroller at all times. All models also feature the convenience of a rain cover, washable seat fabric and a shopping basket. Maclaren strollers have a one-hand folding system and brakes operated with one foot.

Lightweight Strollers

• If you are looking for easy maneuverability, Maclaren offers three lightweight models. Take note, however, that these models are suitable for 6 months up to 55 pounds.

The lightest of these strollers is the Volo model, which weighs 8.8 pounds and features a single-position seat. The Globetrotter features a partial reclining seat and weighs 10.6 pounds, while the Triumph model features an adjustable reclining seat and weighs 13.6 pounds.

Full-Featured Strollers

• Maclaren offers a series of full featured strollers that are appropriate for newborns and children up to 65 pounds. These strollers have fully reclining seats, leg rests, and rain covers with extendable visors and head huggers and foot barriers to protect your infant.
