We bought a Maclaren!!!

Post by wattie » Fri Apr 17, 2015 12:48 am

To be honest fellas, it wasn’t my first choice…I’d have gone for something in red…… but I’m sure we’ve all been in a situation where we have to try to justify something to the other half and after much research,discussion etc a deal was done.

Hence the universally popular purchase of a metallic black, MacLaren.

We’ve had it for a month now so I feel able to comment on its extraordinary capabilities. The acceleration is nothing short of amazing, fly like in terms of the change of direction into gaps, comfortable, surprisingly practical, easy to park and the roof down/up is a real bonus in this weather. The Missus loves driving it and so far, touch wood, reliability has been excellent.

Will try to post a/some pics later....... even my 5 month old daughter approves.

If you can, I would recommend it.

Cheers Wattie

Mmm sounds lush!  How does the performance compare to the Atom Wattie?

How about an atom/Maclaren hook up?

Cheers

No fooling some of you.

Its not as quick as the Atom Nick, seats only one ...so is more Monolike,    but it handles as well with a smaller turning circle.
