Inspired by the birth of his granddaughter former test pilot and aeronautical engineer, Owen Maclaren, designed and patented his umbrella fold baby buggy in 1965 in England. Being a retired aeronautical engineer and new grandfather, Owen Maclaren believed that a buggy needed to be lightweight, durable and safe while using a combination of modern materials. This innovative stroller design weighing just 6 pounds and folded like an umbrella, was the first stroller of its kind and freed parents from the pram stroller.
This stroller officially went into production in 1967 and because of its popularity the business soon expanded. In 1969 the next innovative design was created, a foldable pram buggy that featured a carrycot and buggy all in one. The next innovation was a balloon foam tire that provided a smoother more cushioned ride. In 1978 Owen Maclaren passed away, and despite losing the founder of Maclaren the company continued to set the standard for innovation and safety. In 1984 Maclaren created the first flat fold buggy that carried a child from infancy, in 1991 a car seat stroller that took the child from the house to the car to the stroller in one seat, and also in 1991 the Duette twin umbrella fold buggy was introduced. In 2007, Maclaren entered the holistic personal care industry by creating items for mom and baby.
Items that Maclaren offers are strollers, rockers, bouncers, personal care items, nursery furniture, bedding and toys. Maclaren products are carried all over the world and are available at select specialty stores and online in the USA.
