Good Points: Very light, well made, easy to put up and down, good rain cover.
Bad Points: Bad breaks. Can't get into basket when seat is reclined
General comments: I have used this stroller daily for over 2 years and am on my 2nd child in it, and it is still in perfect condition. It has been on planes, been dragged up stairs, thrown in car boots, bumped over rough ground etc etc but it still looks and works perfectly. It is a wonderful stroller-light, easy to steer, quick and easy to put up and down.
It is a bit frustrating that you can't get in the basket when the seat is reclined, but so far neither child has woken whilst I quickly sit them up to retrieve something and then lie them back down.
The only negative is the breaks. This is only really an issue on buses-but is a problem. It is very difficult to get the breaks to stay on, and I am never confident about them so have to hold the buggy in position-which is difficult when also holding a toddler in her seat.
Also worth mentioning that the "buggyboards" fit perfectly on these strollers so if you need a solution to the baby & toddler problem this works well.

The worst baby purchase I have ever made. We bought this in a hurry when I got pregnant with my second and no longer wanted to be lifting a heavy pushchair in and out of my car boot which is quite high.
The brakes broke after 3 months - I did not take it back.
Its impossible to push unless you are on flat perfectly smooth tarmac. Its shakes and rattles and is so noisy.
But worst of all, which finally prompted me to write this review, my 18 month old son managed to tip it over sideways and bac ...

I have had my Maclaren Quest pushchair now for less than a year, and I have had so many problems with it! I put my daughter in hers today and the main bar of the frame broke in half. I took it to Mothercare, who said it would cost me £175 to get it sorted. A new buggy should last for more then a year. I could understand if my daughter was big for her age, but she isn't at all big for her age, so I have now decided never again am I having a Maclaren buggy.

Ohhhh, everything.... on buses it's a DREAM, up and down stairs it's an ANGEL, yes, I love my Maclaren Quest, the only tiny, weenie little thing I'd say is that when it's in the fully reclined position you can't get at the shopping basket, but, believe me, this is nothing compared to how easy this buggy will make your life. I tend to know when my little man is going to nod off, so if there's anything in the basket that I need, I make sure it's out of there first. It's true that it folds up rea ...

I have tried other cheaper strollers (that break after lots of use), but I think it is definately worth paying a little bit more and getting the Maclaren Quest. The hood provides great protection in winter, and good shade in summer. The pull out leg rest is great for young babies. Unlike a lot of cheaper models it is strong enough to transport either my 9 month old or my 3 year old. The only negative is the brake. It's very tricky to put on unless you line the wheel up exactly. This normal ...
