Maclaren Techno Stroller

The story of Maclaren begain in 1965 with Owen Maclaren’s development and patenting of the first Baby Buggy. He used his experience as a World War II airplane designer and engineer and vast understanding of light but sturdy structures that could still be folded easily to develop his first baby carriage models. His desire to create a better carraige was also influenced by a visit from his daughter who had to use a very inconvenient old-style ‘pram’ that was nearly impossible to use on airplanes. This inspired him to create a completely new generation of baby carriages and strollers.

Working with light tube forms of aluminum, he was able to manufacture a frame comfortable for even larger children but could still fold up into something the size of a regular umbrella. The minimal weight and size of these new strollers was truly revolutionary. The first models weighed in at as little as 6 pounds (about 3kg). The unique folding mechanism, with folded size like that of an umbrella, allowed these new strollers to be used and then stored or transported with great ease.

Since the beginning, Maclaren’s line of strollers has expanded to include a variety of models and sizes for different needs and purposes. They continue to make innovations in the market that have a very positive influence on the lives of parents and their children with continued improvements in safety, overall quality, and portability, in the process becoming one of the preeminent baby product companies world-wide.
