Maclaren’s finest design concepts have been invested into making nearly every one of their strollers remarkably lightweight yet sturdy and convenient to use. There are a few Maclaren models that sell for under $100 (i.e. the stripped-down Volo), but in general Maclaren’s strollers run over $100, with their full-strollers with all the features quickly running over $200. Some of Maclaren’s most popular models include the light-weight yet luxurious Triumph and the award-winning Techno XT. Recently, Maclaren designed their first jogging stroller—the Mac 3, which in all honesty, isn’t so much a jogger as a hybrid all-terrain stroller for walkers. Thus far, reviews for the Mac have been surprisingly mixed with numerous complaints from serious runners and walkers regarding the quality of the wheels and general issues with steering the Mac.

Everyone knows that Maclaren is a top brand name for strollers, but what not everyone knows is that this company has gone through some major changes in the past few years. Currently, Maclaren is actually manufacturing their strollers in southeast Asia. The reports of problems with the 2003 Techno XT were a result of a batch of models being built outside of England—where all Maclaren’s were previously assembled. If you do experience problems with a Maclaren, their customer service and support has recently undergone a major turn for the worse, with numerous complaints about the quality of help and a surprising number of reports of difficulty reaching one of their representatives.
