Maclaren Quest Stroller Review Summary

Considered to be a “lightweight and hip stroller,“ the Maclaren Quest Baby Stroller receives tons of praise from Viewpoints reviewers, especially those looking for durability. The Maclaren Quest offers a “smooth ride” and is “steered easily one handed.” With smaller wheels though, this baby stroller does not do well on rough terrain. In true Maclaren style, the Quest baby stroller is easy to travel with with its compact design , which is easy to fold and easy to carry with the included carry strap. Although the Maclaren Quest is pricier than most lightweight baby strollers, parents experienced with many baby strollers state “this is the one that wins for us.“ Compare the Quest with other lightweight strollers and see which ones come out on top.

The Maclaren Quest Stroller is a great stroller! We did a lot of research before buying this stroller. We compared several of the other higher-end stroller brands (Peg Perego, Bumbleride, Bugaboo) and realized this would be the best value for us. The things we considered when making a decisions included: portability (I didn't want to struggle with a giant stroller that weighed almost as much as I do when loading/unloading it into the car); length of time our child could use it (I couldn't see spending a few hundred dollars on something that wouldn't last more than several months); safety (need...

The Maclaren Quest is a great lightweight stroller.  It is perfect for the mall or walking around the city.  The seat reclines almost all of the way back, which is great for younger children as well as any child needing a nap.  This is one of the few umbrella strollers that also fit larger children.  It has a high weight limit and older children still fit comfortably.  The stroller is very light and easy to push.  The Quest can be opened up or closed down very quickly and easily.  The basket underneat the stroller is on the small side, however that is the nature of umbrella strollers. ... review »

This is a great lightweight stroller and the cons are far outweighed by the pros (except maybe price). It's not really suitable for a baby who can't up (6 months +), but we've travelled all over with this and it's ideal for both long and short trips. The recline means kiddo can sleep easily, but you're not going to break your back carrying her up the stairs!

The wheels are small, so it's not great on rough terrain, but you have to give something up for the weight. Same for the relatively small storage basket - something's gotta go. One thing they could add is cup holder for water bottles - but you...

This is one of the best strollers in the market. It's very stylish and comes with all the latest features for the safety of your kids. Also, and this is what I like best about it, it's very affordable (runs ~$150), great on the eye, it has brakes, it's lightweight, it folds easily, and it allows your baby/toddler to streatch and nap if they want to.

I have a love/hate relationship with all my strollers.  It seems that for every pro, there is a con.  I've yet to find the stroller that fulfills all my needs but the Maclaren Quest comes pretty close.  The good and bad:

-Truly a one-handed push, this this is so easy to steer.  It glides through stores.

-Compact, good for travel, easy to fold/unfold quickly.

-Has a window in the sunshade to peak at your little one.

-Very small basket, hard to access.  Nothing extra like a cupholder or snack tray - but hey, it's an umbrella stroller.

-My #1 gripe when I use this stroller is that if you have...

When baby number three came along, we started shopping for a new lightweight stroller to use after we no longer needed our infant stroller/travel system. 
I spoke with other Moms who had recently purchased strollers for their toddlers and the one name I kept hearing over and over was Maclaren. Most recommended the Quest model for its features. So, I did some research and was able to find a brad new, but one year old model for about half the price of the current year models! It had all the same features and a fun print, so I jumped on the chance to get a Maclaren Quest stroller!
I'm so glad I did!...

I love my Maclaren Quest Stroller.  I've had it for over a year and it is a pleasure to use.   I find it to be the most durable stroller on the market.  It handles the rough terrain of New York City like a champ. It's easy to maneuver and a cinch to close up in a hurry.  You can do it with one hand if you are holding your baby or diaper bag or anything else us moms seem to be carrying at all times.  The seat goes back enough that my son takes his naps in there.  He likes it so much that he now refuses to nap in his crib and only naps in his MacLaren!  I also find the storage underneath is...

I actually got the Maclaren Quest Stroller from a friend when I had my son Anthony.  I absolutly love this stroller.  It has gotten me though some tough times when i would have had to go home, if I didnt have it.  the Maclared Quest Stroller is very durrable, and looks to be very comfortable.  My son loves being in it.  If he wants to take a nap it is fine becasue the back of the stroller lays down and plus there are extender at the front so that he can prop his feet up!  I think that is a wonderful attribute in its self.  who wants to sleep sitting up with their head lolled to the side. ...

The Maclaren Quest stroller was the perfect mode of transportation for my baby who is now 4 1/2 years old.  It's extremely durable, lightweight, compact when folded up, and the wide variety of accessories that accompanies the stroller was wonderful. We still use the stroller, and my daughter never complains about comfort - she's about 40lbs and just over 3 ft tall now.  We're a suburban family with plenty of sidewalks to use; therefore, my only complaint is (on my older version) that there are no shocks so the ride tends to be a bit rough on any surface that's not paved or concrete.  Some other...

    I am so glad that I decided to purchase this Maclaren stroller after researching all of the strollers available in 2005.  We have used it quite a bit during the spring, summer and fall months for everything from walks around town to visits to the zoo...  and from shopping trips to stops at the park.  I have taken the cover off (by reversing the way that I put it together the first time) and washed it in cold water and air dried it with great results.  The canopy was the only part that I couldn't get off.  This stroller is compact and easily fit in our Mercury Mystique along...

I am a travel nanny so i get to see just about every stroller out there.  Maclarens are one of my favorites as they are lightweight, easy to use and easy to fold--which is important when you have a baby in one hand and a stroller in the other.  They roll well and I don't have as much trouble with guiding it as you do with some strollers.  Most of all, I had the canopy get crooked on one of the strollers.  I don't know how it got that way but I called MacLaren which had an office near by and they just said bring it over! 24 hours later I get a call that I can pick it up, they replaced the canopy...

The Maclaren Quest Stroller is a wonderful addition to families with a young child.  The Maclaren Quest is a five point harness stroller for added safety.  It is quick and easy setting this stroller up.  Folding the stroller and putting it back up is a little harder than other single strollers I have used.  The Maclaren has a wonderful warranty, you can also purchase spare parts on the website.  This will help your stroller last for years. 

As a parent of a special needs child who uses this product almost daily, I would recommend this to any parent looking for a lasting stroller.

I love this stroller.  We have had it since my daughter was 1 and she is now 4 and we still use it.  It is easy to manage.  It folds easily and has a carry strap making it easy to carry around.  It is also pretty light weight as far as strollers go.  It is very durable. It is also a smooth ride.  The back is tall enough for my 4 year old to comfortably sit in and fall asleep in.  I would recommend this stroller to any mother with toddlers.  It is great for amusement parks, the mall, or just a stroll around the neighborhood.

I'm 5'1" and my husband is 6'1" and we both love this stroller. Greatest features so far are: lightweight, compact (folds easily) and most of all can be steered easily one hand. The cons are that it is quite on the more expensive side and umbrella is not wide enough. The positive side far outweighs the negatives. We have used this stroller quite extensively and has taken a rough beating in airline travels too. We owned Combi and Silver Cross (both lightweights) and must say this is the one that wins for us.

I needed an "umbrella" type stroller and found this Maclaren to be the best for the money.  Sure there were other less expensive strollers, but his gave my daughter the support and security that I was looking for.  She is very comfortable in this and has been for the last 3 years!  She is 4 and will still ride in this when we are out at the mall or at the zoo or museum.  I would definately reccomend this to anyone looking for a lightweight and hip stroller!
