Maclaren Quest Mod review highlights

Overall, we found excellent reviews for the Maclaren Quest Mod (and similar Quest Sport), and as with most Maclaren umbrella strollers, its durability and easy maneuverability are highlights. The 12.2-pound Maclaren Quest, however, is nearly identical to the cheaper Maclaren Triumph (*est. $150). For the extra money, you get two extra reclining positions, some reflective accents, a UV viewing window in the sun canopy and an extendable leg rest -- additions that might not be worth the extra $100 over the Maclaren Triumph, which is also highly rated and a better value.

We found the best reviews of the Maclaren Quest Mod posted by parents at the Baby Bargains website (the companion to the best-selling book of the same name), who go into great depth about the pros and cons of this umbrella stroller. The Maclaren Quest Mod also receives a fair amount of comments from owners posting to Epinions,and a thorough review by the British consumer publication Which.co.uk. Maclaren currently has two versions of the Quest; the Quest Mod and Quest Sport (also *est. $225) differ only cosmetically.

In its recent roundup of strollers, Which.co.uk chooses the Maclaren Quest Mod as a Best Buy. Editors say it's easy to push and steer, folds and unfolds easy and has a fair amount of storage space, editors say, but its small wheels aren't suited to rough terrain. Which.co.uk is an excellent review publication, which at times is even more comprehensive than Consumer Reports.
