What do you get when you get when you cross an aeronautical engineer and a baby stroller manufacturer? You get Maclaren Strollers. Owen Maclaren went from designing aircraft undercarriages to inventing strollers – he was the inventor of the first lightweight foldable stroller. Given this information, it comes as no surprise that Maclaren strollers are ultra-light and extra strong… aircraft quality aluminum is used in every Maclaren stroller – imagine that.
The Quest stroller from Maclaren is available in two models the Quest Sport and the Quest Mod. Both are lightweight umbrella / travel strollers and both come packed full of features that you’d normally ‘not’ find in umbrella strollers. The only difference between these two strollers is the material and the color options.
The Quest Sport stroller only weighs 12.5 pounds, it maneuvers wonderfully and it’s incredibly easy to fold, carry, store and transport. The huge difference between the Quest stroller and other umbrella strollers, aside from Maclaren’s high quality, is an extensive feature set that includes: a reclining, padded, seat, a height adjustable leg rest, a removable & washable seat cover and a large canopy with viewing window.
Key Features
The Quest stroller is highly maneuverable. In addition to being ultra lightweight, the Quest stroller has front swivel wheels that literally lets you turn on a dime. The Quest stroller is less than 19’ wide so it’s quite easy for parents to maneuver their little one throughout stores and crowds.
The Quest Sport stroller folds with one hand – you simply unlock the frame by kicking a safety latch, you step down on a lever and you lift the stroller with its carry strap… Your stroller is now securely closed in its folded position. To open the Quest Sport stroller you simply unclip the locking mechanism and lift the handles up.
The Quest Sport stroller now has a longer / larger canopy that provides extra protection for your little one. The round shaped canopy, that now features a storage pocket, has a UV protective viewing window so you can keep an eye on your child. Maclaren incorporates reflective material into their strollers so you can be seen while stroller after dark.
When you combine the quest stroller’s padded reclining seat, the adjustable leg rest and padded 5-point harness you get a stroller that is incredibly comfortable for your little one.
