Maclaren Vogue

Good stroller – The McLaren is one of the lightest prams we tried out and was one of the only prams that fit in the boot of my VW Polo. Having said that, it was a tight squeeze and was constantly being pushed into the side which made the handle wear off after approx. a year. The handle is now covered in tape to hold the foam bit together. I was told it was super… Read more

easy to fold up but don't really find this the case. It's a 3 step process and when I was pregnant with baby #2, found it really hard to bend over and pick it up off the floor when I was packing it away. On the positive side, it steers quite easy (SO much better than our Aldi pram) and toddler seems to like it (though he hated it as a newborn but he was a very colicky baby). It comes with a few features including foot cover which is nice. And big canopy to protect bub from Sun. I Easy to Steer. Light Weight. 3 steps to open and close it. handle came off after repeatedly squeezing it into boot.

Best pram ever – Purchased this pram as we needed something lightweight, small and easy to push and it is fantastic. The maclaren brand has a good reputation and is top quality. It fits in my tiny getz which is another bonus and comes with a footmuff and rain cover. Bit pricey but we wanted a pram to last until bubs is around 3 and it looks as though it will last the distance. Light, easy to fold, sturdy, comfy for baby Cant get to the basket when in full recline

Best pram ever! – I read all the reviews I could about prams. Few of my criteria was: 1) Lightweight 2) Can be used from newborn till bub is about 20kg 3) Easy to steer 4) Great quality so that it doesn't fall apart 5) Easy to use when I'm out with bub by myself This was the pram that matched all of my criterias. Maclaren's quality is fab and for the… Read more

price, this pram is value for money. It's so easy to use and my child loves sitting in it. When we go to the park or shops, it's easy to steer - gets through the tightest corners.

Pram isn't designed to be a jogging or shopping pram so if you're looking to exercise with bub, best to get something else. Great quality, easy to steer, can be used for newborn till toddler, so easy to use!

Love this stroller! – We purchased a Maclaren Vogue 4 1/2 years ago when we were having our first bub. We loved the fact it suited from birth right up to 20+ kg, and that it was so compact. Both of my girls have been in this stroller since birth (I have a 3 year gap!) and have slept soundly. Both my husband and I have found it a dream to push, easy to fold and light to… Read more

lift. We also love that it only takes up a little of our boot space. The additional boot cover was also good too, as our babies were winter babies it helped to keep them snug and warm. The only thing I have found annoying is accessing the under basket when a child is asleep in the recline position. Other than that I would reccommend this stroller to anyone! Compact. Light. Comfy. Easy to steer. Can't access basket when child is reclined.

Great for 2-3 yo when big reversible pram was no longer needed – Best value Maclaren as I had wanted an umbrella stroller that was lightweight and easy to steer and fold. Also comes with all the added extras like the newborn insert, footmuff and rain cover (no sun shade though). It was great option for my 2 year old who would alternate from sitting in the pram then walking then being carried so therefore I… Read more

did not want to push around my 10kg plus reversible pram around as well as carrying a 15 kg child.

The Vogue was an excellent choice as it served me well as my last pram as we only used it for one year because my 3 yo no longer wants to sit in it and it still has good resale value because of its reputation. Light, easy to steer and fold, comes with all the added extras, best "value" Maclaren, great as my "last" pram purchase Not really suitable for newborns as the straps are too long. Lightweight design means it tips over if your child gets out and you happen to have one bag hanging on it, chunks of foam come off handles over time, no sun shade, inaccessable basket

Maclaren make great products – We have only had two prams and had five children. One was a Steelcraft brand that didn't last through our first child and the other which has been the Maclaren Vogue. This pram has been through hell and back, I am not kinding, having survived four children. It folds down to nothing, which is very important for a growing family, more room in the… Read more

back of the Prado, and is a quality made unit which is easy to clean. Our unit has done many kms and once did the border track up at Lamington National Park. It's on our last daughter at the moment, go the Maclaren brand, take it from us, you won't be disappointed. It handles the wear and tear of family life and it's great design, folding up to nothing compared to other prams on the market. Can be a bit expensive, just shop around. In this case you pay for what you get.

Great stroller – I bought this pram to go to Europe as I could not travel to France with my big 3-wheeler. This has also turned out to be a great purchase for use at home! It is a very good quality, easy to use, ultra-light stroller. Reclines fully so baby can have good naps in it, the backrest is well padded. It comes with three accessories (raincover, footmuff,… Read more

headrest) and fits in the boots of small cars. Another needed accessory for summer would be a suncover or an umbrella.

This has now become the pram that I take to go to the city or busy places as it is so comfortable for baby and so easy to use for me.

I hesitated a lot between the Quest and the Vogue and chose the Vogue for its full recline. I am glad I made that choice as my baby has 3-hour sleeps in this pram sometimes! Sturdy, light, easy to use Basket inaccessible when fully reclined. Cannot close visor on the hood when baby is sleeping (so have to cover it up)). No sun cover.

I love this stroller! – We purchased this stroller to replace a Steelcraft Phoenix which was so unwieldy it was a nightmare to get anywhere. The Maclaren Vogue by comparison is like a dream. The large wheels and suspension in the back make it very easy to push and even steer one handed while holding open a door at the same time. (useful for preschool drop-offs) The… Read more

single push brake, single handed collapsing, extra large hood with extension, comfy seat that reclines almost completely flat all make this an excellent well designed stroller.

It comes with a rain cover, foot muff which I am unlikely to ever use in Sydney and a head pillow for a newborn. I have a large reversible pram with bassinette so I would be unlikely to use this stroller for a newborn but if you only wanted a compact buggy to get you through from newborn to toddler years the maclaren vogue would be a good choice.

Many people have remarked that the basket is inaccessible when the seat is reclined, which is true, but this is the case with all umbrella strollers. My only negatives are the handles are a tad too high for me (I am 5ft 4") but manageable and that the flap at the back with the pocket obscures the basket and I find it "untidy" the way it hangs there.

It is pricey for an umbrella stroller butaborts every cent. I love this stroller and wish we had never wasted our time and money on the Phoenix! Steering, suspension, comfy seat Expensive

An excellent stroller for the car boot – This is my everyday stroller for the boot. It is very light and super quick to pull out of the car and fold out, and off you go. It won't go rough riding over all terrain and it won't glide like a Mountain Buggy (my other stroller), but it's perfect for school pick-ups and shopping trips. The rain cover and foot muff are extremely useful… Read more

accessories and included in the one I bought. Light, simple, used constantly. Would prefer padding on the shoulder straps.

Excellent – I never really liked the look of strollers as compared with my Bugaboo but the functionality has won me over. It is so easy to use and I can put my 10 week old in it and he sleeps beautifully and he looks really comfy. I am so happy with my purchase. I purchased this stroller after 10 weeks of using the Bugaboo Chameleon. Whilst we love the… Read more

Bugaboo it was impractical to put in and out of the car all of the time. We also have a baby who cries a lot so speed is essential! After comparing all of the prams this one was a stand out because it can be used from newborn and has a massive sunhood (which is also great to help him sleep). It was only slightly heavier than the Quest and gives flexibility to use for any future babies. The pram looks really smart, it pushes easily and is so easy to fold and unfold. I am in love with it! As with all Maclaren strollers you can't access the basket when the seat is lying flat. I also wanted a funkier look (Like the Quest or Spitfire) but it only came in Black/Champagne. But this is all I can say that I would change!

Excellent – I really love this stroller, it is so easy to use and I have used it on rougher surfaces and it has been just fine. I picked mine up on special so it was not too expensive at all. It still looks great a year later and I could not fault it. I love this pram. It is lightweight and fits easily into the boot. I use it as my out and about stroller and… Read more

it is fantastic. It goes down so that you can put a newborn baby in it and they will comfortably sleep in there. Very good quality. That it does not come with a sun shade as you have to purchase one of these separately. Can be expensive unless you buy it on special.

Excellent – After spending a fortune on a pram and travel system when our boy was born, I have finally reclaimed the boot space in the car. This is a great portable stroller, which was purchased so we could travel a little lighter. It comes with foot muff, and rain cover. It is sturdy and easy to manourve. I highly recomend it, especially for air travel. The… Read more

multi position of the seats is great as well. Our boy is almost 2, and it's great he can still lay down for naps. And looks like he has a few years in it yet. Portable, sturdy and has a great canapy. Comes with allot of accessories Hard to move the seat into different positions. Often need another person to help.

Excellent – I would highly recommend this stroller to anyone in the market for a stroller. It is also suitable for a newborn, so I found it handy with baby number #2. It is easy to pull out of the boot- and quick to assemble and disassemble (with one hand and a foot!) Just the thing when you have more than 1 kid to try to control. Everything! The handling, the ease of folding, the quality headcover, removeable foot cover-Love it all! Not much at all

Excellent – fantastic would recommend to anyone one of my friends have a serous back issues and loves it! i get comments on the look of the pram every time i am out love how light and easy it is to steer the newborn position is the best I have two friends who are now buying it cause they love mine

Excellent – I love this stroller. I originally had a steelcraft enigma which I was very disappointed with. The vogue is easier to push and a lot more comfortable for my daughter. She is much happier traveling in this and I can also use it for my baby. Easy to steer, light, easy to assemble/fold, narrow, great for shopping, suits my baby and toddler, looks… Read more

great, comfortable for my daughter who regularly sleeps in it, handles suitable for tall people. Small shopping basket that can be hard to access with seat reclined. Hard to use on uneven surfaces- more suitable for shopping centres/quick trips.

Excellent – I love this pram - have been so happy with it. It goes everywhere with us. We have had it for 18 months and it is still like new. It is excellent! It is lightweight, easy to put up and down. Can be used from newborn up. You have to access the basket underneath from the front.

Excellent – I love this stroller so much. I originally bought the Steelcraft Elite pram but it was so heavy to put in & out of the car all the time. It didn't steer well in the shops either. I bought the Maclaren Vogue to save my back & wrists. It not only looks good but it has everything a mum needs. I would recommend all Maclaren strollers to everybody.… Read more

Best money I ever spent! Light, only weigh's 6.2kg. Easy to steer & fold. Compact when folded. Easy to buckle up without little fingers getting in the way. Excellent quality & extremely durable. Fantastic hood.

Good – I have this pram as a second pram (also have a Mountain Buggy). It's great for keeping in the boot of the car & using it for shopping/restaurants as it is light weight & compact. It fits through supermarket aisles (unlike bigger prams). Foot muff is good in winter & the recline is great especially for sleeping babies. The pram does tip over… Read more

easily if you have shopping bags on the handles & take the baby out - be careful! Other than that I would still recommend this pram. Light weight & compact. Reclines back to nearly flat. Tips over easily. Storage basket is hard to get things in & out of.

Good – Great stroller. Very easy to manuver and control in tight spaces. I found with the pram I originally purchased, I just didnt fit in some shops. This was never a problem with this stroller. Great from new born as lays right back. Maclaren brand is excellent and well worth the extra money. Light weight and easy to fold. Great fold down hood for… Read more

extra coverage. Easy to put in the boot. Hood touches the wheels when folded making it dirty very easily. So light it feels like it will easily tip. Hard to recline- need to crouch in front of it and use both hands.

Excellent – A fantastic stroller! Very easy to use. Very sturdy for such a light stroller. Looks great. One of my best purchases. The Vogue is light and very manouverable - it is quite easy to steer with one hand. Its narrow enough to get through tight spaces easily. It is easy to fold up and down; I can fold it down using one hand and one foot, then just… Read more

bend down to pick it up one handed! It is a bit tricky to lay back until you get the hang of it. The straps are also very long - particularly when the stroller is marketed for use from newborn upward. The straps practically swim on small babies.

Excellent – Perfect. It's light, easy to get in and out of the car and fits in tight spots. Great for the shops and cafes. It's so easy to get in and out of the car, and very easy to use - even with a new born. we also have a Valco 3 wheeler, but this is by far the easiest to use and I think the most comfortable for our son. Nothing. It's perfect

Excellent – This is a great stroller and can be used from a newborn up. It is a great height so good for taller children. Comes with a raincover too. The pram feels very smooth to use and is very comfortable for an older baby or toddler using it. This is a really great stroller. I recently purchased it as a replacement for a cheaper stroller that was a bit… Read more

small. This stroller feels very nice to push along and is made of very good material. It looks good and is easy to pack up and store in smaller spaces. There are none.

Good – I love this stroller, it is a good compromise between getting a full 3 wheeler or a compact umbrella stroller. The bigger wheels help it handle uneven footpaths and roads although it is not that fantastic with off road, but good enough. We drag it backwards on the beach though sand, which would be the worst surface we take it on. Or stroller is 2… Read more

years old and has our second baby in it and still looks good. It cops regular abuse from being thrown in the car and from our toddler jumping in and out of it.

Great for travelling as I believe this is best stroller to handle a wide variety of surfaces while being lightweight and easy to steer. Toddlers fit in it well and babies can sleep fully reclined. It doesn't handle all surfaces as well as a 3 wheeler, but has the benefits of being much much smaller. We have taken it on dozens of domestic and international plane trips and as long as you tie the handles it seems to not get too damaged. Only the foam grips have been a little ripped.

It is narrow enough to easily negotiate shopping isles and checkouts, and big enough to bring home a little shopping. Both my toddler and baby find it very comfortable.

As a side note we have found when it is fully reclined we can fit our Safe n Sound baby capsule in the Vogue, it fits in snuggly enough with the foot of the capsule facing towards the hood to be secure, effectively giving you and all in one travel system. Light weight, easy to steer (even one handed), 1 handed opening and closing (with practice), hood can be extended for better rain/sun cover, great customer service from wholesaler, 4 reclining positions for bub, harness clip firm to stop toddler from escaping, high handles for tall people, considered an umbrella stroller when travelling via airplane. rear of basket not accessible when fully reclined, rain cover can be a bit claustrophobic for older child, easy to overload handles when fully reclined & have stroller tip backwards.

Good – I like it. I also have a 3 wheeler (bought 2nd hand from a friend) which we now use for walks as I was constantly bumping into things at the shops and hospitals/clinics, could not get through some aisles at the shops which was embarassing. For our 2nd stroller, I did a lot of research and had set my sights on a Bugaboo Bee but could not justify… Read more

spending over $1000 on a stroller and it was also not as light as I had thought, the original Bee was too heavy and the Bee Plus too expensive. So we ended up with the Maclaren. Bought on sale for only $350. Lightweight and the way it folds. The Maclaren is so light I can just pick it up and shove it into our Nissan Patrol, and I do not have to open both doors at the back to get it in. Cannot access the basket and reclining the seat takes some effort.

Light weight easy to use stroller – I have had mine for 2yrs & still love it! It is an easy umbrella fold which fits easily it the boot of my Yaris - which is why I bought it. It has plenty of accessories which other brands your need too purchase - foot muff & rain cover. The hood folds out for extra shade. Lightweight, folds compactly, easy to fold. steers beautifully. Perfect… Read more

for walking. great harness. the hood bends out of shape easily. the backrest is difficult to recline even with 2 hands. Is no good for off road or running.

OK – I love my Maclaren but i wish that it had a bigger basket at the bottom which was easier to access when the baby is in it (given all the stuff you need to carry such as nappy bag etc) and wish that the wheels were a little bigger to make it more road and grass friendly Light weight, leaves plenty of room in the boot of the car, easy to fold up… Read more

using one foot and one hand Small shopping basket, can tip back if you have a small baby and put nappy bag etc on the handles (but this problem fixes itself as your baby puts on weight), really only good on flat surfaces such as footpaths (not so good on road surfaces)

Bad – I am disappointed with Maclaren brand. Having spent $330 for this stroller, it has has to have the hood frame replaced twice ($60 per time) due to it being stored ocassionally in the boot. The wheel has now come off and the cost to have it replaced is similar again. It has not lasted 2 children. I assumed the Maclaren brand would outlast 2… Read more

children on normal usage but I now regret not saving the excess money and just buying a competitive product such as Steelcraft, for a third of the price. In addition, the only repair centres are in Sydney and Melbourne and hence if you do not live there, you need to freight the stroller at your own cost for these repairs. Light, easy to fold, easy to manouvre Hood frame keeps warping when exposed to sun

Does not live up to my expectations of durability

Shopping basket is pretty poor

Good – Bub initially hated this stroller, but now she is used to it. Easy to use and move around and the fact that it only weighs 7.5k is a lifesaver for me! Only wish the basket at the bottom was bigger/easier to access with a newborn. Lightweight and easy to use - doesn't take up a lot of space in the boot and is easy to push around Small basket which… Read more

is difficult to access with a newborn (seat needs to recline all the way back which restricts access)

Excellent – A good choice for our first baby. Very light to carry upstairs since we live in a unit. Dare not to hang too much on the handles coz of its light weight. Light, easy to fold up. New born baby can lie down in it. Good steering. Wheels start to make some noise after a while, not big, but noticable.

Good – Overall a durable and fantastic stroller. I'd researched extensively to find a stroller that could be use from newborn and is lightweight and easy to use. The stroller also fits well into my car, which is a hatchback. It's terribly easy to use, even my mother-in-law knows how to use it after we taught her once. The pram is of the right width… Read more

and goes through supermarket aisles well. There is an extensive hood (you'll have to unzip it), which provides good shade from sun/lights when bub is sleeping. Lightweight

Easy to use

Comes with free boot cover and raincover

Extensive hood Unable to access basket

OK – This is a servicable stroller - easy to get in and out of the car. It pushes fine but it is SO annoying not being able to use the basket. Fits in the boot of my small car ( but only just - the length is just ok but not wide so can fit plenty of shopping in the boot too) the pockets on the back of the hood are good for storing wallet/keys/phone.… Read more

Nice and light. Has a side clip to hold it together when folded. It may as well not have a basket - it is impossible to get into unless the seat is right up. It is tippy if you hang anything off the handles.

OK – it has a good reputation and is expensive. lasting for years is only worth it if you are going to have kids for years. my daughter hates it and screams all the time and tries to get out, she was much happier in other friends prams so i can only presume its not comfortable for her easy to handle my daughter hates it
