Maclaren Quest Sport Stroller, Charcoal
Want a posh stroller that’ll be kind to your back? The Maclaren Quest Sport merges the convenience and lightweight portability of an umbrella stroller with luxurious styling and comfort features typically found on bulkier, full size strollers. Thanks to its high-performance, extremely lightweight aluminum frame, the Maclaren Quest Sport weighs in at only 12.5 pounds, but don’t let its featherweight status fool you – this stroller packs quite a punch. Your little one will ride in comfort with a padded seat that offers four recline positions and an adjustable leg rest that can fully extend to support your child’s legs if he wants to stretch out. The Maclaren Quest Sport showcases several new and improved features, such as the longer hood for extra coverage, hubcap design and many vibrant new colors. The Quest Sport’s water-resistant sunshade includes a viewing window with UV protection, so your child will always be in view, as well as a convenient storage pocket for your cell phone or other necessities. And, with a five-second, one-hand compact umbrella fold, this chic stroller is ideal for traveling or quick trips around town.

When I was a nanny in NYC, the family’s baby I took care of had a Maclaren Quest. So, of course, when I had my baby, I wanted one too. The problem is that I live in the suburbs, but they lived in the city. Its totally fine for everyday sidewalk, mall, airport (very easy to fly with), flat terrain use. However, I live in the ‘burbs where I use my stroller in all the afore mentioned places, but also at a baseball game, on a jogging path, at the park, at the renessaince faire, etc, and the Maclaren just does not make a very good all-terrain stroller. Its a dream for city dwellers, but if you might encounter mud, rocks, sand, or grass– better look for something with bigger wheels. That said, I DO love that this stroller is easy to push, folds easily, and my daughter always seems comfortable in it. The small sunshade has never been a big problem for us, although it would be nice to have some kind of snack tray for the kiddo, which Maclaren does not offer. We also have some issues with the parking brake sticking, but it works with a swift kick.

We recently bought the charcoal pink 2009 model of the Quest stroller and we love it! it folds as an umbrella stroller so we will take it on the plane with us when we go on the international flight this fall, since remember-you can not take the carseat onto the plane unless you pay for an extra seat, and if you bring any other type of stroller other then an umbrella kind-you will have to check it with your luggage and walk around the airport with no stroller, so this was huge to us since the umbrella strollers can be used up until you enter the plane and you get it right back as you are exiting the plane. We also got a foot muff which us very soft and well made, not I can be sure my baby won’t get cold and we dont have to carry a blanket with us. The stroller itself is great, folds and unfolds easily, has a handle and a strap that makes it easy to carry it. The rain cover is great, covers the whole front so I know my baby won’t get rained on. There is also a leg extension for smaller babies like mine-6 months old (but a chunky monkey)-who are just starting to sit and I wouldnt want her legs to be hanging down yet. The fabric is very soft, but seems like it will be very easy to clean spills and dirt from. I love the reflectors on the front and sides, they will be convenient in the evenings. The basket is large enough for my needs and there is a nice pocket on the back too, but no cup holders (which doesnt matter at all to me but matters a lot to some people like I have read on other reviews). I love this stroller, it is definitely very durable, light, and will last us a while, so the cost is well justified! (they have great resale values, too!!!)

This is a great stroller because of its light weight and easy to push construction. It’s almost half the weight of more traditional strollers, including the first one we got from Babies R Us. It doesn’t attach to a car seat, but once our son could sit in a stroller this was ideal and the seat attachment totally unncessary anyways. The stroller folds very compact, which is another plus. I’d recommend this stroller, despite the caveats below.
This model has gone through a recall for joint areas that could hurt a child’s fingers. I don’t think it’s a real issue, and the problem comes with the recall kits they send you. Once installed, the stroller will not close and lock properly. Your child is a hundred times more likely to get his fingers struck by a door than this joint, but of course door manufacturers are legally protected here.
The biggest and most annoying issue is that this stroller easily tips backwards when our child gets off. It’s happened literally twenty times so far. When the child is seated it’s very stable, but the moment he gets off if there’s any weight in the back or incline it’ll tip backwards and crash onto the ground.
The stroller also doesn’t have cupholders, which is an inconvenience. They sell those separately.
Lastly, some parts of the stroller are weak and may deform over time, such as the hood at the top.
That all said, other strollers have their own problems and the bottom line is this stroller works pretty well once you get over the occasional issues.

We had borrowed a Maclaren stroller from our friends and fell in love with it. However, they needed it back just before we were headed to Mexico for our family vacation. We had to buy our own and found Amazon to have the best price (and selection). We ordered it on Friday and had it by Tuesday, just in time to pack it up for our trip. It was a lifesaver in Mexico – and versatile…we used it not only to tote our 8 month old around but also to rock her to sleep and feed her. Great product!

I drive a 2005 Toyota Corolla and I wanted something that would fit in my trunk with room to spare for groceries, etc. This is perfect. I also got a Baby Trend jogging stroller to keep in my garage for everyday walks in the neighborhood, and I like that I don’t have to constantly lug one stroller in and out of my car. The Maclaren stays in my trunk at all times.
My daughter is now 10 months old and we’ve been using the Maclaren since around 5-6 months. I think it says that you can use it from 3+ months, and I bought it before she was born, but I discovered that a stroller frame that fit my carseat was the best way to go for the first few months. I bought a used one, and it really is easier for those early days when your baby falls asleep all the time. That’s something I never thought about when I was pregnant.
Now we use the Maclaren several times a week for trips to mall, other stores, the library, the zoo, meeting friends at a park, etc. The basket is a decent size but it is really hard to get a diaper bag in and out. I know people have complained that the stroller tips when there’s a diaper bag on the back, but I recently got a Skip Hop Duo diaper bag that has the special straps to go on the back of the stroller. If I slide the bag as far down as it will go, the stroller does not tip when I take my child out, even if the bag is pretty full.
PROS:
Very easy to maneuver
Takes up VERY little space (very important for me!)
Appears to be comfortable
Is easy to set up/take down once you get the hang of it
CONS:
The sunshade is practically worthless.
The basket isn’t great, but I just hang my diaper bag on the back so this doesn’t matter
I would definitely recommend it!
