In 1967, Owen Maclaren, a retired aeronautical designer and engineer, developed the Maclaren Baby Buggy. This invention began a tidal wave of subsequent innovation in the baby stroller industry. This first buggy and all that followed led to the company's current status as one of the most respected and popular baby stroller manufacturers today. The company sets the standard for innovation and safety in the industry, still holding many of the patents in the stroller market.

Maclaren exports to 60 countries worldwide, and holds contracts with theme parks, retailers, and many other specialty companies. They recently introduced a technologically advanced stroller called the Techno to their inventory. This stroller is lightweight and easily collapsible for quick and painless storage and stowage.

Maclaren has partnerships with several top-notch designers, including Kate Spade. Through this collaboration, the company produces designer buggies, rockers, and other baby necessities with the Spade logo alongside their own. The same sort of arrangement has led them to team up with high-end designer Burberry as well. Their line of Burberry-printed buggies and strollers are the ultimate symbol of fashion and quality.

Maclaren strollers are definitely not the least expensive strollers on the market, and some of the higher-end versions with designer labels cost hundreds of dollars. However, online resellers are often excellent sources for these products that have been slightly used.
