Double Umbrella Stroller

Maclaren Double Stroller

Maclaren is a well known brand for great strollers, both single and double varieties. All their models come with some standard features such as a lockable front wheel that swivels, quick fold feature, water resistant hood, a removable seat that can be washed, a 5 point harness for child safety, an aluminum frame and mesh shopping basket.

Their colors are not flamboyant, in fact the brown, gray, red and navy are all very classic and will work with both genders.  One of their most popular models is the Twin Triumph. It gets very high reviews and rankings by previous purchasers. It's additonal features include the fact that it fits through most standard doorways, has two independent hoods, a UV protective viewing window, newly designed insulated handles, raincover, and height adjustable shoulder harness.

The comfort of your baby stroller is actually quite important for the child and the parent. If the stroller is built cheaply and too short or small, it won't result in a natural pushing motion by the adult and the parent will be hunched over trying to push it in a very awkward manner. In short order the parent is left with a backache. Finding a stroller that fits your body as well as providing safe and comfortable riding conditions for the child(ren) is very important.

We recommend that you try various Maclaren double stroller models in the store, but if you're unable to do so due to store proximity, then buy online from a store that will let you return it if it's the wrong fit for you. Most of the time with the Maclaren lines you won't have any trouble, but it's good practice to do with all stroller types you may be considering. We are quite comfortable buying these models online, but look at the return policy if you're unfamiliar with the merchant.

Maclaren is not a brand you're likely to find at any big box store, they will probably be more often found in a specialty baby store or online. Prices range from $250-$400 depending on features and models. One nice thing is that they hold up to 110 lbs and are rated from birth, so you can safely put newborns in this stroller (without the carseat). The 5 point harness keeps them securely fastened and easily accessible to the parents if needed.
