The Maclaren Denim Quest stroller - James Dean would be proud

My favorite new jeans have wheels on them. I'm talking about the new Maclaren Denim Quest stroller. As part of their Objects of Design series, the denim stroller is meant to be the coolest thing on wheels at the playground, but it's definitely not all style and no substance.

Aside from its dashing good looks, there really are reasons for you stroller junkies to take a closer look.

 

The durable denim fabric has stitching to make it look like a real pair of jeans, though the canopy's weather resistant coating makes it more protective than one. And unlike some new pairs of jeans, the fabric is pretty soft and (according to Maclaren PR) is meant to age just like real jeans, meaning it gets softer and more lived-in looking (in a good way_ the more you use it.

Not a denim fan? Other strollers in the Objects of Design series include a Yellow Submarine Buggy, perfect for the daddy I met on the playground who named his daughters after members of the Beatles...true story! We're not as big a fan of their strollers made in partnershp with Juicy - do little girls really need the word juicy on their gear? Or their butts?

I do like that the Quest has four different reclining positions, which is not easy to find on strollers of this size. But the true test of comfort for my son? He fell sound asleep in it...something he only does in our SUV-sized UPPAbaby Vista. With all of the envious stares I've been getting from other mommies, I almost want to get a bike lock for it. -Melissa
