Today, strollers based around his original design are sold in over 50 countries under the Maclaren brand. These include the Maclaren Triumph, Volo, Techno and Quest. The Techno XLR and the Techno MX3 models can be fitted with a car seat to become travel systems.
In September 2000, the company went into receivership with large debts. The factory closed in October 2000, and production was moved to China.
In November 2009, Maclaren recalled its entire line of strollers sold in the U.S. and produced from 1999-2009, citing 12 reported fingertip amputations in its hinges. The company will provide free hinge covers for all consumers in the United States - but not Europe - and advises against using the strollers until the hinge covers are installed.[1] [2]
