Maclaren Mac 3 Jogging Stroller Product Review
Product Description
Maclaren Mac 3
Medium Customer Rating
Type: Jogger
Price: $200 - $350
Maclaren is known for its innovative designs and quality products, but its Mac 3 Jogging stroller leaves a lot to be desired. All of the reviews were unanimous on several points. The Mac 3’s frame was not properly aligned and that causes the tires to wear very fast. Also, the number of complaints that parts were coming off was astounding. Many reviews said that the handles and wheels popped off or the basket tore after some use. Most of these customers had only owned their stroller for a matter of months.
This stroller also has a three wheel design, but is not a true jogging stroller. The three wheel design is stylish, and it gives you more maneuverability, but this stroller is not meant to go off road or to be used while jogging. It takes a specific design to do this, one that the Mac 3 does not have. It is merely for walking and will handle bumps or cracks in the side walk well. Because of this and the other problems, be sure to exercise caution if buying one of these strollers.
Pros:
• Lightweight
• Compact
• Air-inflated tires
• Accommodated babies and toddlers
• Tall handles
• Easy to maneuver
Cons:
• Wheels, handles and basket can break after use
• Folding takes practice
• Small storage basket
• Hard to fold
• Poor wheel alignment
• Not great for jogging
• Tires wear down quickly
Mac 3 Specs
Age: Suitable from birth and/or up to 55 pounds
Weight: 18 pounds
Safety: Five point harness
Features: seat reclines into two separate positions, includes a rain cover, removable and washable seat fabric, carry strap for easy transportation
