I am the kind of parent that childless people hate. I take my kids to hip restaurants and am not deterred by the complete lack of booster seats, high chairs, or chicken fingers on the menu. I am simply not content to while away my weekends at home or limit our outings to places that have designated stroller parking. I wheel our mammoth double wide into petite boutiques and carry my cooing baby into austere galleries. We boldly go where no family unit has gone before.

I <3 My Maclaren.

High end strollers can be likened to luxury cars. Brands like Stokke and Bugaboo are the Benzes of baby gear. They cost irresponsibly large amounts of money and woo buyers with the promise of prestige and a celebrity lifestyle.

Maclaren is like an old-school Volvo. A Maclaren “buggy” will run you anywhere from $200-$400, but delivers superior design and durability every time.

We bought a secondhand Maclaren Triumph when our son was 10 months old (to replace a behemoth Graco Travel System that I could barely lift out of the trunk).  

He will be starting kindergarten in the fall and we are still rocking that little red Triumph!



Our Maclaren has been on and off of planes at least 100 times.

It has been tossed on trains and beat to heck by baggage handlers. 

It has been crushed in crowds at Disney World,

and has carried our precious cargo over cobblestone streets.


It has handled sand,


gravel,


and slick sidewalks

in six different countries.



I’ve cleaned everything from spilled coffee to exploding poo off of the fabric.
And it is still in great shape.  



In my opinion, Maclaren strollers are tops in a much hyped category. Lightweight and high quality, they are worth every cent.  

Note: We bought a Maclaren Twin Techno for the arrival of baby number two, and it has not disappointed. With a weight limit of 110 pounds (55 in each seat), we will be strolling with style AND functionality for years to come!
