The Magicfold's 2022 name update
.eli
see 3 parent reviews

The leclerc MF Plus is actually a new name for the globally popular leclerc Magicfold (Plus), a lightweight ultracompact buggy boasting an ultra-simple, 'magical' folding system that only needs activating a button on the handlebar. After that, the pushchair can fold by itself and stay standing on the ground to be picked up.

More of the Magicfold's unique features would include the 100% PU rubber wheels with individual suspension, 600D waterproof hood with UPF50+, or the magnetic 5-point-harness buckle. The seat's backrest reclines fully, thanks to a one-handed lever system, and there are three positions to choose from. The leg rest is also individually adjustable.

You can use the seat practically from birth - it's equipped with a rear safety net. The optional footmuff/cocoon, full-size carrycot with adapters, or a Maxi-Cosi attachment-type car seat with separate adapters are also newborn options suitable for a small baby. Various accessories to opt for are available to complement your MF Plus - there's the usual cup holder or rain cover, but also twin connectors to connect two Magicfolds to make a double buggy are also one of the choices.

The MF Plus stroller was released along with two pretty much identical strollers that are different from the Magicfold in the design, colors, and finishes, thus for stylish parents that want to shine in their own way: the eye-catching leclerc Influencer in four stylish colors and the colorful leatherette details, and the most luxurious leclerc Hexagon with the hexagonal stitching and a suedine covers on the handle and belly bar.

Parent reviews of the leclerc MF Plus

parents say thx^^
  • Easy fold
  • Magnetic harness
  • Nice wheels
  • Extras included like rain cover, bag ( not padded tho), cups holder, bumper bar
  • Flimsy hood and frame
  • Cheap feeling fabrics
  • Not fully lie flat
  • Seat very low to the ground

Bought it for travel and had to keep due to departure date. Very disappointed though - basically it’s an overpriced version of Joie Pact.

My 7mo little one seems happy in it

I like it a lot! My 7mo little one seems happy in it. Glad for the lie flat and the seat safety rim.

  • Looks nice
  • Not the most expensive
  • Nice fabrics and colours
  • There is some suspension
  • Autofold is nice if you're holding something in the other hand
  • Easy to use
  • A 22 kg child needs more space in the seat
  • Small wheels & basket is super shallow (understandable)
  • The handle seems quite low, even more for my hubby
  • The frame is a bit loose right out of the box

Reasonably happy with it. It is small and light, which we needed. Not too roomy for our older 3.5yo, which is a shame with the 22kg weight limit. Still rather practical and looks nice. Not sure if I'd go for the same one again, however.
