Maclaren Daytripper Standard Stroller

Pros: Big basket, dual handles, canopy, reclining seat, great quality and value
Cons: Seat doesn't recline far enough for small babies

When I was about three days pregnant with my first child, I ran out and bought the best of everything. When she was born nine months later, I pulled out the pram, stocked it with enough supplies to survive in the wild for a month, and enjoyed the...

Pros: easy to collapse, removable rain cover, stylish, lightweight
Cons: a little costly

Let's face it, most of us aren't able to pay $170 for an umbrella stroller. Most of us don't want to risk it being "just another stroller" and the idea of selling a $170 mistake in the yard sale for $10 just hurts.

I was lucky enough to...

Pros: lightweight, easy to fold, wheels conveniently spaced for stair climbing
Cons: only one seat adjustment, limited sun-screening

From the moment our little girl was born, we've spent most of our time carrying her when travelling. First, we live in a country that has few sidewalks/pavements, and second, slings and backpacks are so incredibly easy to handle. We had been doing very...

Pros: Fits through store doors, can handle larger kids
Cons: Expensive, heavy, small baskets

We live in Brooklyn and end up doing a lot of walking -- whether to run errands or just to get out of the house. With two large kids under age 2, it is important for us to have a good, sturdy stroller that can handle both kids, since the older one...

Pros: lightweight and compact, sturdy, great in the rain
Cons: expensive, inadequate sunshade, hard to adjust seat position

We bought the Maclaren Daytripper to replace a very good but broken Kolcraft reclinable umbrella stroller just before leaving for two months working in France and England. The Kolcraft was not available at local stores, so we had either to buy the...

Pros: can steer with one hand, lightweight, love it!
Cons: cost

I absolutely love, love, love this stroller. It is absolutely worth the extra money. My first umbrella stroller was a $20 cheapy. It was difficult to steer that people would think I was actually aiming for them, and it only got worse the bigger (and ...

Pros: Lightweight, very manoeuvrable, tough, no rust after two years!
Cons: Not very comfortable, no shopping basket, slightly suspect raincover fittings

We brought this stroller when the weight combination of our pram and one year old became to much to bear. I would like to say that we shopped around and looked at reviews - but we didn't! Desperate times and all!

Having said that we have been...

Pros: lightweight, easy to maneuver, durable, stylish, raincover, handle height
Cons: in the states, price

Well, when I was pregnant I did lots of shopping around, only wanting the best out there. Little did I know someone made the stroller choice for me by giving me a travel system for a shower present. Although I loved the convenience of being able to take ...

Pros: It is not so heavy. maneuverable. Easy to clean. Fits through doors.
Cons: Handles are fragile.

I bought this stroller six months ago for my two kids they are now 15 and 39 months and I still use it. I like it because it is not heavy, so comfortable for my kids, we can use it at any place without problems and don't get stuck on certain floors like...

Pros: Fits through doors, lightweight, easy to fold
Cons: Hood broke and lock cracked

We also live in Brooklyn and have loved the ease of this stroller. It fits through doors easily although it is hard to used at Rite Aid or other stores with narrow passageways. We bought a cheap double umbrella stroller by Kolkraft first. We really...

Pros: Great Stroller, Light Weight, Easy to Fold
Cons: Pricey, Seat Position Limitations

This is a great little stroller. We bought this stroller in Ireland and paid a lot less than one here.
The main feature I liked was the weight of this stroller. The older McClarens were very heavy, but well made. The stroller is made extremely...

Pros: light; folds easily; sturdy; good height, also for men; smooth roller
Cons: no suspension

Very pleased with our maclaren lightweight stroller because it is:

- light (to push and to carry)
- folds and unfolds easily, also with 1 hand
- very strong and durable, we use ours for 3 years now with no signs of wearing it still...

Pros: durable, lightweight, and small
Cons: seat doesn't recline

The Maclaren umbrella stroller has been a great stroller for our family. We purchased it 4 1/2 years ago for my daughter and we are now using it for our son. It is still in great shape - other than a little bit of discoloration on the yellow part of ...

Pros: Seems like you would get more for your money with this stroller.
Cons: It is impossible to unhitch the five point harness. It sticks horribly.

My son was 7 months old, and we bought this stroller because we felt like if we spent more money we ...

Pros: Light, sturdy, comfortable, reliable
Cons: Difficult to release the 5 point harness

After looking at many different umbrella strollers and reading countless reviews we decided on the Maclaren Daytripper. My husband was concerned by the price until we ran into a woman using the Daytripper .. swearing that it's the best one out there. She had hers in the store and had had it for over a year. It's condition looked great! My husband is 6'5" so the height of the stroller is important. He's able to walk comfortably without bumping into the wheels with his feet or hunching over. I'm 5'9" and am able to use the stroller comfortably as well. Another plus is that it comes with a fitted rain hood. Although it's a bit harder to fold with the hood.. being in Seattle, we greatly appreciate it!
My only cons with it so far is it can be difficult to release the 5 point harness.
