The Maclaren Quest Arc is an updated version of the Maclaren Quest with a newer, modern look and a single handlebar. The single front wheels provide agility in the city. Another advantage is the rounded, ventilated, extendable hood with a sun visor and 50+ UV protection. Parents will also appreciate the spacious, well-padded seat that can be reclined sufficiently even for the smallest of babies. The fabrics of the seat are fully washable. Thanks to the soft carrycot that can be inserted into the seat, the Quest can be used from birth. This stroller comes with a safety wrist strap, and an original Maclaren rain cover included.

parents say thx^^

It doesn't live up to the hype

LeFox - 03 Aug 2021

large sun shade
pretty high seat back for taller kids
lightweight
large-ish basket for the size of the stroller

claims that it's good up to 55 lbs, but I doubt it is sturdy enough to hold a child that large. it felt unstable with a child at less than 40 lbs
for the price, you can get much sturdier and well made strollers
broke (unrepairable) in less than a year with normal use around the city
going over any kind of "terrain" feels like an effort. doesn't navigate easily over bumps / curbs, etc.
kid's head will peak out of the stroller when laid down flat

After our experience, I'd never buy another Maclaren. It doesn't live up to the hype.
