Maclaren Strollers

Retired British aeronautical engineer Owen Maclaren was inspired by the birth of his granddaughter in 1965 when he saw his daughter struggling with her hefty pram. Using tubular aluminum for a lightweight frame, Maclaren finished the first prototype stroller that weighed only six pounds. And the highlight was the ability to fold it with one hand, much like an umbrella, hence the birth of the modern-day umbrella stroller.

Maclaren's design is still popular today with the compact fold, attractive fabric designs and easy transport. His innovative idea defined the Maclaren stroller as a Phaedon Design Classic, a distinctive honor.

Today Maclaren is the leader in lightweight, compact, easily maneuverable strollers. Available as both single and Maclaren double strollers, some models can also accept a car seat, turning your stroller into a travel system. All models can fit through standard doorways and come with a carrying strap or handle for easy transport. Many models are acceptable for newborn babies and all models accommodate children up to 55 pounds.
