The Pushchair Track: Cath Kidston Spray Flowers Maclaren Quest Sport

October 9, 2011 by · 1 Comment 

Must say, I’m quite feeling the latest addition to Maclaren’s ‘objects of design’ collection which is where they collaborate with major designers to create limited edition pushchairs.

There’s no prizes for guessing that the latest incarnation of the Quest pushchair from Maclaren is inspired by The Beatles ‘Yellow Submarine’ classic. Even with colder days ahead, the pushchair is a burst of signature sunshine yellow and has an embroidered liner which is also reversible to a very Austin Powers-esque psychedelic print. The hood [...]

I was over at the Cath Kidston site checking something out for our latest nursery tour when this buggy caught my eye. Is there a product which hasn’t received the Cath Kidston treatment I wonder?

March 10, 2009 by · 1 Comment 

If you’re someone who has owned a heavier travel system (we have the Quinny Buzz), then you may be like the legions of parents who invested in a second lightweight pushchair stroller.

The Pushchair Track: Maclaren Lulu Guinness This Is The Life Pushchair

November 27, 2008 by · 1 Comment 

Natalie writes… I’m a big fan of Maclaren’s Objects of Design collection because when you have something as immensely popular as a Maclaren pushchair, you need a few choicy designer collaborations for the style conscious parents that want to distinguish themselves. Taking the best selling Maclaren Quest, which weighs in at 5.2kg without the hood, [...]
