History

The Maclaren Company began in 1965 in England with the design and patent of Owen Maclaren's Baby Buggy. Using his knowledge as a former test pilot and aeronautical designer, Maclaren decided something needed to be done about the flimsy pram that his grandchild was riding in, so he designed his buggy using tubular aluminum among other lightweight yet sturdy materials. What evolved was a three-dimensional folding stroller that served the same purpose as a buggy or pram but folded up into the size of a closed umbrella. Today, Maclaren strollers are distributed in the United Kingdom and the United States. Harrods, the world's most famous department store, featured the Maclaren stroller in their 2005 Truly British campaign.
