Maclaren BMW M

see 1 parent review

The Maclaren BMW M is a higher version of the model BMW Buggy. This design collaboration between the brands Maclaren and BMW belongs to the Maclaren Objects of Design category. The luxury, sporty design, logos on the harness buckle as well as on the clasps on the hood, chunky wheels and reflective accents, these are all the elements inspired by the BMW M range. The BMW M is light yet sturdy, with a seat spacious enough even for an older child. The seat can be reclined fully, suitable also for babies. Newborns are protected by the built-in newborn safety system consisting of a panel of fabric at the end of the backrest and a clip-on net integrated into the leg rest.

Your questions about the Maclaren BMW M

1)

Are you able to build your own stroller? My grandson is 14 months, he doesn't like the sunlight in his face, needs visor that will protect him from the sun. Do you have a store that is made for infants? Is it possible that I could buy a stroller that takes the head light away?

Hello, Tavia,

Well, one can build pretty much anything - BUT building a stroller is super difficult. If you're not a technical person, you can't really build one properly so that it would be safe for a child, it is too complex.

On the other hand, you CAN go to a store in person, try out different models - ideally with the child to try it out, and pick based on that experience and your requirements.

Another thing you can do is buy accessories that will help with your struggle. In this case, I believe a GOOD UNIVERSAL SUNVISOR will help. For example, this sun visor (click here) OR this full-coverage sun shade (click here) would do the trick. Even in person, they'll advise you and even try out with you some at a baby store.

So, all in all, to build your stroller is not the best option here, but to pick the most right one - or good accessories - would do the trick.

Is this available for sale? I'm having a baby boy and I would love this stroller, I normally get the other BMW color's but this one always gets my attention. Please if you know anything about it please let me know, thanks.

Hi, Franchy,

If you can't find this anywhere around you (I would also go through classifieds if I were you), I will only suggest the last resort option - eBay. There's almost anything if you look carefully. Try this link - or searching for 'Maclaren BMW M stroller' in the search.

Good luck!

P.S. We don't sell anything here on Strollberry.
