Maclaren Mark II Recline
The Maclaren Mark II Recline is the world’s lightest umbrella stroller with a reclining seat. By weighing in at only 3.9kg, this stroller doesn’t offer too many functions apart from being a lightweight ride for older children. Two-position recline allows them to sit or snooze in a slightly reclined seat. The mesh-centre seat is ventilated and great for keeping the child comfortable on hot days. With four wheel suspension, it is great for simple city rides. The handles are made of plastic with antibacterial properties.
The Mark II Recline is gradually replacing the original non-recline version Mark II with the ‘Recline’ not always stated. It was also released in a Shark Buggy design edition, which belongs to the Maclaren Objects of Design category.
