How Is The Maclaren Quest Sport Stroller (2012) Different Than Previous Strollers?

The new 2012 Maclaren Quest Sport Stroller has undergone similar upgrades and enhancements as the other Maclaren strollers. First and foremost the 2012 Quest stroller is now safety compliant all around the world meaning it meets the toughest safety standards for strollers in all areas and from all countries.

Other than that there really are only slight differences from this year’s model over last years. For one the “Sport” seems to be slipping into oblivion. There isn’t a difference between the Maclaren Quest stroller and the Maclaren Quest Sport stroller other than color configurations as far as I can tell.

If you happen to want a color that is reserved for the “Sport” version then you will get the Sport stroller otherwise you’ll get the regular model which really is no different at all other than in name.

For that reason I am not actually distinguishing between the two anymore. In my opinion there is no difference between the Maclaren Quest Sport and Maclaren Quest strollers.

Reviews For The 2012 Maclaren Quest Stroller

I don’t own the Quest stroller so I can’t say anything with authority on this but I believe the Quest is an excellent stroller based on my close knowledge of the smaller Maclaren umbrella strollers.

Basically the smallest of the all, the super lightweight Maclaren Volo and the newly introduced and almost as small Globetrotter stroller are extremely small compared to the Quest but even still the Quest is still one of the lightest strollers on the market.

There is a middle-of-the-road option in the Techno but in my opinion even the Quest is small. If you need anything smaller than it you should simply go for the gold and get the Volo or Globetrotter.

This Maclaren 2012 Quest Stroller review is much better in terms of details, pros/cons, and answers to your frequently asked questions so I recommend giving that a look for more on why you may or may not want to buy the 2012 Quest stroller.

Where Can You Buy The 2012 Maclaren Quest Stroller

As you no doubtedly know the Maclaren brand is European and although they aren’t ultra high priced they don’t tend to be found for sale in most big box stores in the US. I am physically located in the US and I know. I’ve looked for them in stores like Babies R Us, Walmart, Target, Buy Buy Baby, and all the other options.

I have seen the Quest Sport stroller sold in a small handful of small independent boutique baby stores in my area but the easiest way to buy the Maclaren Quest stroller is online.

I tend to do a lot of shopping on Amazon and it’s listed there for sale for a good price. You can see current prices by clicking here. It can also be found at numerous other online retailers which specialize in high end baby items, strollers, and clothing.

The best price for the Maclaren Quest 2012 will frequently be Amazon. Many smaller online stores will occasionally have sales while some local shops may occasionally have the 2012 Quest stroller on discount but on the average Amazon tends to be the best.

In Europe your chances may be better at finding this in traditional retail stores but because that is out of my area of expertise I’ll leave you to your own laurels.

Overall the Maclaren Quest stroller is widely considered one of the best values for your money. It is small and lightweight compared to direct competition and it is a good price compared to the really expensive full sized strollers like the City Mini GT or the 2012 UPPAbaby Vista.

Although I do like this stroller I still think I’d like to own a bigger stroller for everyday use and keep a small Globetrotter for travel. But that’s just me.

Is The New 2012 UPPABaby Vista Better Than The 2011 Vista?

Many are asking if The New 2012 UPPABaby Vista is better than The 2011 Vista. Well, it depends on how you weigh each of their features.

The 2012 UPPAbaby Vista, most of the time, is being compared with the 2011 UPPAbaby Vista. This is not an issue anymore since it is the nature of people to compare a thing to another. These comparisons and contrast may bear favourable or unfavourable result on the side of the producers and customers as well. Here is one 2012 UPPABaby Vista review that compares the differences between the two strollers quite nicely.

The UPPAbaby Vista stroller is one of the much-loved strollers that offers the best especially in style, convenience and usefulness. The newly introduced 2012 Vista stroller contains small number of changes to make it a little better. This certainly does not have much difference to the 2011 UPPAbaby Vista stroller. There are just little differences that make them different from each other. The latter possesses the beauty that the former has while they both offer convenience and comfort. Probably, the most obvious difference is the range of their prices.

There are some features that both the 2012 UPPAbaby Vista and the 2011 UPPAbaby Vista baby strollers have. These include the smooth ride, the compatibility of the infant car seat, the handlebar that is adjustable on the height that you prefer, the under-seat basket, the bassinet covers and the safety harness. Both the latest and the older version have these features that certainly satisfy the users. But most importantly, the 2012 UPPAbaby Vista and the 2011 UPPAbaby Vista are the products that can make their children happy and safe.

The buyers will certainly choose to spend a little money since both models have some same features, but they must be aware that not all the features are the same. 2012 UPPAbaby Vista baby strollers are the improved version of the 2011 UPPAbaby Vista. The word “improved” means that it is produced in a better way. 2011 UPPAbaby Vista may be the best, but 2012 UPPAbaby Vista is better than the best.

The price must not be the primary reason why buyers prefer to buy a certain thing. We must consider the package that a certain product could have. There must be a package of durability, usefulness, convenience, comfort, safety, ease of access, availability, beauty and the happiness it could bring. People must be practical enough in deciding what to buy. You may buy product A or product B but whatever it may be, you must know what the consequences of your choice will be.

The decision may also vary on the needs that the buyers have. People may have needs different from the others. And in the case of the baby strollers, buyers must prioritize the needs of the one who will use it. Who will use it? The babies, right? So, the parents must know what type of stroller their babies will be comfortable with. After all, if their babies will suffer, they will also suffer as much the babies do.

So, what are you waiting for? You better check out this product in stores now in order for your baby to experience pure satisfaction. :)
