A Review of the Maclaren Quest Mod

The Maclaren Quest Mod Stroller is one of the best additions to the Maclaren family. It weighs in 12.1 pounds putting it into a lightweight category. The whole frame has a nice shape design which is unique and also gives it a little bit more room in the seat area. It has around 14 inch seat area and around 19 inches seatback. From seatback to canopy top is around 24 inches, so your taller children are going to fit. The seat has a 3 positions padded harness and what I really like about the buckle is that it is a little bit tricky to put it together but what is great about it is that kids can’t undo it on their own; you have to push down than push the button and undo it in order to release it. So, your children are not going to be able to escape from this harness. But it does not have a baby bumper bar/

The Maclaren Quest has a slight recline that reclines almost flat. And it is easy to do this with a strap system. With a heavy kid in there it is going to be a little bit tricky to do that; you will probably going to need an extra hand. To put it back down by pulling the strap down and you can stop it in any position.

The Maclaren Quest Sport Stroller has a basket underneath that is very big and wide and it very easy to access it. If your seat is completely reclined you can still get things out of it. You can even put in a medium sized or large diaper bag in it. So, the basket only looks small but it is very functional and large. For other storage on this baby stroller it has a zipper pocket on the back. There are two compartments, so you can put diapers and a big wallet. This is especially great on the summer when you want to keep your kid cool.

The canopy on the Maclaren Quest is fabulous. Maclaren improved all their canopies and I absolutely love it because it is gigantic. It is a very good canopy. It is large and it completely shades your child. Also, it has a great picaboo window.



The handlebar is adjustable which is great. It doesn’t telescope out and it does not adjust up and down. Also, you can attach a safety strap that you can put around your wrist in case you don’t want to get your stroller to get away from you.



The Maclaren Quest Sport has a four wheel design. The frame is very sturdy and what I like about it is that for a lightweight stroller I am able to handle my medium sized duffle bag on the handles and it is not tipping back. Also, the maneuverability of this baby stroller is fabulous. It has a great unique handle bar so you put your hand in the middle and you can easily do it holding another child’s hand, carrying your diaper bag etc. Only with one hand you can maneuver it. Even up to the wieght capacity of 55 pounds you can still maneuver this one handed. The Maclaren Quest has a very unique fold. It is very easy to do it. It has a few simple steps.

A Review of the Maclaren Quest Sport

Maclaren has been present in the lightweight baby stroller industry for many years. Let us take a look at one of their most wanted product - Maclaren Quest Sport Stroller. Let’s start with the seat. It has a very tall seat. It has a seatback to canopy measurement of around 26 inches. Even your tallest children are going to be able to fit into this. It has a high weight capacity of 55 pounds. So, a 5 year old can comfortably seat in it without his or hers head coming anywhere near the canopy. There is a padded 3 position harness and an adjustable foot rest for the comfort of your child. You can have it up or all the way down. And if they are a little bit taller they can set their fit on the foot rest as well. The seat has a very deep recline. It is a strap system; I would prefer a one handed bar recliner but the straps are not bad either. You can put it in any position. It goes all the way back to a storage box. A nice feature is that in the summer when you want your child to be a little bit cooler you can take off the back fabric off and roll it up so that the air can circulate through the entire stroller to keep your baby cool.

The Maclaren Quest has a very large canopy for an umbrella stroller. A picaboo window is a great feature as well so that you can keep an eye on your little rascal as you go along. This baby stroller supports two high higher ergonomic handles. It is around 40 inches from ground to where you place your hands. So, it is going to be great for taller parents.

Now let us take a look at the storage. This is an umbrella style stroller, so it’s not going to have a lot of storage but it does have some. It has a large zipper pocket on the back of the canopy as well as small to medium size basket, but good for umbrella size. If you have the seat reclined it is going to be hard to access the stroller basket but you can access it for small items from the side, just know you are not going to get a large diaper bag in there; probably a purse or small diaper bag.

The Maclaren Quest has four around 6 inches high tires. Best of all, the front wheels actually lock straight. You are going to be able to go over a bit rougher terrain. But just remember that it is an umbrella style stroller, so it’s not going to be able to go over a lot of bumpier terrain. Also, the back wheels have a one-touch system. As you can see you just have to step on it and it locks very easy.

This baby stroller weighs in 12.1 pounds. It is just a bit lighter than a standard stroller so they put it in a lightweight category. But you are going to get a sturdier stroller for that weight.

Folding the Maclaren Quest is really great because over at Maclaren they listen to parents. All you have to do is pull up on the carry strap to unlock the frame, step on the side piece and it folds down. And what I love about it is the automatic lock that keeps it locked during transporting. Also, it has a carry strap so it is great for taking through the airport or just swinging over your shoulder if you have to go to the bus or train. Unfolding this baby stroller is also a very easy operation. Unlock the automatic lock, fold up, step on the back piece and you are ready to go.



Maclaren Quest Sport Stroller is an umbrella stroller with small wheels so it is going to be best on smooth terrains such as concrete. But it is still a great maneuverability stroller.



So, let’s summarize. This product has some really great features for parents and for the kids – large canopy, great handles, extra tall seat and a carry strap as well as the great fold.
