Maclaren

Maclaren History

It all started in 1965 when Owen Maclaren, a former test pilot and aeronautical designer, created the iconic B01 buggy in the converted stables of his restored medieval farmhouse, in the village of Barby, Northamptonshire.

Based on Maclaren's knowledge as a retired aeronautical engineer and grandfather, the buggy had to be durable, safe, and lightweight. With a combination of modern materials like tubular aluminium, a durable structure that comfortably carried even a fairly large child, and a 3D folding mechanism, the buggy weighed just 3kg/6lbs and could fit into the same amount of space as an umbrella. The revolutionary design liberated parents from the bulky pram and quickly became an object of design and desire. The revolutionary lightweight, 3D fold design continues to be an important and timeless prototype for the industry. Today's Maclaren Buggys are all descendants of the B-01 – from the lightweight frame, durable fabric, and one-hand fold -- to the above-industry standard safety features and innovative style.
