This stroller has been perfect for our family. We love it, it's so easy to fold up (I can do it with 1 hand while holding a baby!), it's lightweight and strolls with easy, turns on a dime and is so comfy for our baby.
Pros
  • ease of use, lightweights, turns easily, compact, comfortable, attractive

Solid and sturdy stroller

So far the Maclaren Spitfire has held up to being pushed through snow and ice this winter. I am not disappointed with its performance and can tell that this is an excellent quality stroller. I couldn't afford one of the more expensive designer strollers so this Maclaren purchase was a good buy for the money spent. I like the fact that I was able to use this stroller for my newborn and should last until baby is about 40lbs. My biggest complaint is that the basket underneath is pretty useless. Only a very small item can fit so forget using the bottom basket to hold groceries when out shopping with your baby. If the baby is in reclined position you can't get into the basket without moving the baby to a different position (which you don't want to do when you have a sleeping baby). Another pain is adjusting the harness. Since it is winter the baby wears a thicker outfit when going out. I had to loosen up the harness to accommodate the 'larger' sized baby. That was not an easy job to do.
Pros
  • Well made stroller for the price point
  • Easy to open and close
Cons
  • Very small basket under the seat
  • Difficult to adjust the harness/seatbelt sizing
  • No cup holder
  • The hinge guards keep the stroller from locking closed
