ANOTHER Maclaren Stroller Question - 2007 vs. 2008

[mama36]

Hi Everyone. Does anyone know if there is a significant difference between the 2007 and the 2008 Maclaren Quest Sport stollers? I found a great price on a new 2007, but don't want to miss anything that might be better with 2008...I looked all over for an answer to this question and think that this forum will probably come up with an answer Thanks!

I am not 100% sure but it may be the brakes. They had individually locking breaks now they are connected if that makes sense.

I have a 2008 and yes, it has a new single brake in the middle rear. It is a nice feature, but I wouldn't pass up a good deal on the 2007 model just for the new brake. Some people don't like the new brake because it automatically engages when you fold the stroller (which means you can't roll it while it is folded -- you have to pick it up). I am not aware of any other design changes -- just fabric changes.

They are good strollers. If the price is right, buy the 2007.

Thanks to you all - I did buy a new 2007 for $100 and I already love it

Mama36, did you find that deal on ebay. I have been watching one there for 105 and thinking about getting it. How do you like it? Is the brake annoying?

I did get it on ebay - the coral color one - with shipping it was 103.00. I really like it - the brake is different, but I don't use it enough for it to be annoying. Any other q's about it, feel free to ask
