Maclaren BMW Buggy
.eli
The Maclaren BMW Buggy belongs to the Maclaren Objects of Design category. It is a result of a design collaboration between the brands Maclaren and BMW. The luxury, sporty design, logos on the harness buckle as well as on the clasps on the hood and on the wheels - these are all elements inspired by M5 model. Reflective accents, brakes and the beginning of the folding mechanism are reminiscent of tail lights. High-end umbrella stroller BMW Buggy is lightweight and easily manoeuvrable. Due to a simpler, only partially reclinable seat, it is suitable for the role of a secondary stroller for an older child able to sit independently.

Parent reviews of the Maclaren BMW Buggy
- so far satisfaction only
Practical, portable for travelling, stylish.
- BMW design
- low weight
- small, compact folded measurements
- one-handed (more of a one-footed) foling system
- suitable for older toddlers, even 3 years+
- carry strap to carry the folded buggy
- small wheels
- doesn't lie flat
- the removable insert liner doesn't hold in its place and slides down
It is a lightweight umbrella stroller suitable for older children, designed mainly for travel and short trips on smoother paths.
We bought this stroller for our older daughter when we needed to carry 2 strollers in the car. It's perfect for this purpose as it's very roomy (you need to check if it fits in the boot though, it fit nicely lengthways in our estate car so we carried it tucked in the back of the boot without anyone ever noticing we had a second pushchair in there).
It's lightweight, and comes with a carry bag - and there's a strap on the stroller itself so it can be slung over your shoulder (for example, when carrying it up the stairs). The wheels are a bit cushioned, but they are very tiny, so it's very uncomfortable and tiring to ride in rough terrain, and basically impossible in the snow. The handles are rather low, but my husband (180 cm) didn't complain that the stroller was hard to use (and maybe he just didn't admit it because he didn't want another one :-D ).
The seat doesn't recline fully (only semi-reclining) and it doesn't have a leg rest, so it's more suited to larger children who can already reach the leg rest between the wheels. Older children will also appreciate the ability to simply hop in and out of the stroller, as the seat is low. There is a removable liner in the stroller that only sticks to the harness straps, so it slides down and needs to be repositioned. The canopy can't be extended, it only has a visor - but by only folding the seat half way down, it's sufficient and the sun never shone on the little one's face. The canopy also has a ventilation option.
Our little girl used it until she was 4 (18kg) and didn't look grown up too much for it at all. For such a large kid sitting in it, the stroller handled nicely, and there was no problem with going out on the curb either.
- practical
- compact
- doesn't lay flat, neither the leg rest is adjustable - more suitable for older children
A stylish buggy, very compact.
- Functions
- Low weight
- Good maneuverability
- Space and comfort for the child
- Quality materials
- Sturdiness
- Easy cleaning even with a light color
- Design
- Refinement
- None
The most perfect - functional and high-quality - buggy on the market. Other models are either too massive or too small. It's so practical - lightweight, handy, with a lot of space for the child and really comfortable. Even a 3-4-year-old child fits well in it.
Your questions about the Maclaren BMW Buggy
What’s the weight capacity please?
Heya, Shell,
It is in the Specifications part under the stroller, in the section called 'Seat Unit.' It is 25 kgs in the seat, and in reality, I would say that you will be able to use it up to about 4 years of age.
I want a Maclaren BMW buggy in India?
Hey there,
The BMW buggy is already discontinued, so not available even on amazon.in. I would suggest looking at pre-owned models on classified ads if you really crave this model.
