My Maclaren Mac 3 has been brilliant. Had it 5 years and hardly looks used. Its been on and off planes several times, used on smooth to rough, sand and rocky terrain and its never failed me nor have I ever had tyre problems. Great for the out doors but too wide for shops.

i have used my maclaren mac 3 for both of my children, i even bought a carrycot for it with my 2nd child because i was so impressed with this buggy. others have said that the tyres have worn rather quickly, i have not found this to be the case and believe me i have used mine a lot! what i did do however was go to my local bicycle shop and had bike tyres fitted that were less easy to puncture, we have a lot of hawthorn bushes nearby and they proved to be a hazard where punctures were concerned. i would have liked to have a car seat which was compatible with the frame for ease when out for short journeys in the car due to the size of the carrycot.

If you are tempted to buy the Maclaren Mac 3 three wheeler buggy, please be aware that the tyres wear out very very quickly due to the design of the buggy. Had it not been for this problem (we've had to buy 3 sets of rear tyres in 1 year) we would have given the Mac 3 a resounding thumbs up. It folds easily for storage in the car. It is very robust, and is excellent for taking your baby or toddler for woodland walks, or along the beach etc. It is very good with moderately difficult terrain, that you would not contemplate taking a stroller on. It's such a shame about the tyres though. It's a real nuisance to have to change them so frequently.

Maclaren Mac 3 three wheeler - This is a true outdoor pushchair - not for those that just want to LOOK active! No good for posing around town but great for rutted paths, steep terrain and the beach.

Maclaren Mac 3 three wheeler - Fairly compact three wheeler when folded, and thus will fit into most car boots. Steering is heavy. Good for walking in the countryside/beach and will cope with most terrains, although the front brake mechanism becomes very clogged with mud and has to be frequently cleared. I found it better to disconnect this when in muddy conditions, prone to veer towards left. Wide rear wheels make it hard to get through a lot of doorways. The mac 3 is not an ideal mode of transport for shopping trips!

Do not buy the Maclaren Mac 3 three wheeler! The tyres wear out excessively quickly due to the very poor design - last set has lasted less then 4 months! I regret having one of these and recommend that you look for a different brand..

The Maclaren pushchair looks great and is sturdy. Ideal for walks in the great outdoors but cumbersome in town. Comes with a free matching cosytoes and rain cover. However, it is not a pushchair for taking shopping. The rear wheels are just too far apart, making it difficult to negotiate aisles and doorways of smaller shops.
