Maclaren Daytripper
.eli
The Maclaren Daytripper is a full-sized stroller system with a seat unit in the 2in1 style that you can convert to a form of carrycot (and vice versa). Despite the suitability from birth and the weight capacity of up to 25kg, the stroller (without the hood, the bumper bar, and the shopping basket) weighs only 8.8 kg and is, therefore, a great companion for urban parents. Using the strap system, the spacious carrycot is easily transformed into a bucket-type seat unit offering three different recline positions. This will help to save storage space taken up by the carrycot part in the time when the child is old enough to use the seat. Another advantage of this carrycot/seat hybrid is the extendable, extra-large hood with sun visor and side ventilation. Typically for Maclaren, the high-quality fabrics are complemented by well-made wheels and a shock-absorbing suspension. The stroller set also includes essential accessories such as a rain cover, an apron, and a soft seat liner. By purchasing adapters (available are various types compatible with multiple brands), you can create a travel system.

Parent reviews of the Maclaren Daytripper
- No pros
- Aluminium part brakes/snaps at the welds
- It gets stuck on the smallest bump
Don't buy this product, the rear part where the kine for the brake goes has snapped three times, and I have reveled it 3 times because I paid 500€ for the stroller and couldn't afford another one. Also it is very rigid, it gets stuck even in the smallest bump on the road...
A nice value for money. I only find the bassinet a bit too shallow.
- materials used
- nice to push
- carrycot and seat unit in one
- adjustable, wipe-clean leg rest
- adjustable handlebar
- large shopping basket
- peek-a-boo window (magnetic)
- seat liner included (grerat for keeping the seat clean)
- colorful harness (the child will love it, you'll see)
- Cybex car seat compatibility
- seat configuration could be more spacious
- little bulky after folding (but nothing extreme)
- not for difficult terrain
- I missed some padding on the harness belts
- harness buckle needs a bit of force to get open (but is very secure, if you look at it from the brighter side)
- brake is a little too small (mainly an issue for the dad, who, with his huge feet, was complaining about it ;-) )
Perfect stroller system for the city and the first year and a half - after which you will get a more compact buggy anyway.
- Large bassinet
- Super-large hood (extendable)
- Good price
- Accessories included
- No covering of the ventilation parts when the hood is extended
- The apron should be higher imo
- No optional air-filled wheels
We are very happy with it - and our DD as well. My (quite tall) husband doesnt complain either.
