Maclaren Volo Stroller, Pea Green and Black Stripe

Great Deal Maclaren Volo Stroller, Pea Green and Black Stripe

I bought my first Maclaren Volo as a baby shower present for my sister 4 years ago when she had her first baby. I purchased it as a fluke from a discount store for only 49.00. At the time I knew nothing about babies and strollers. All I knew was that it was unique design and for a good price. I also noticed how sturdy it looked and how functional its lightweight frame and mesh seat were in comparison to other umbrella strollers on the market. From that time on my sister was hooked on the Maclaren brand after she found it to be highly maneuverable, lightweight and sturdy in comparison to other umbrella strollers on the market. Four years later and having served three babies in my sister's family that same Maclaren is still in perfect condition having endured numerous vacations all over the country and on trips around the world. It is still in use for even her 4 year old to this very day. It is needless to say that all the strollers she owns are made by Maclaren.

When it came time to have my own baby, I knew what stroller to get. I have purchased my own for a lot more than the .00 I paid 4 years ago but my new generation Volo is still worth every penny. You cannot even compare its lightweight and construction quality to the other umbrella strollers on the market. Every detail on this stroller has been well thought out by the manufacturer and withstands the test of time.

Not worth it - B. E. Stephens - California
I wanted to like this stroller. I heard good things about the brand, but I am not impressed with the Volo.

Cons: Wheels are horrible (cheap quality, cannot handle anything other than smooth sidewalks), harness is poorly made and difficult to use, my toddler finds it very uncomfortable and refuses to be in it more than 10 minutes, canopy gets dirty immediately after first couple of uses and nothing will remove the dirt, storage basket is very small and flimsy.

Pros: Lightweight, weight limit is 55lbs, maneuvers around corners easily (only on smooth sidewalks though).

Overall, you're better off buying a lower price umbrella/lightweight stroller or spending a little extra and buying a full-size stroller. I recommend the Britax Chaperone-- parent and child friendly, practical, and well-made.

Great umbrella stroller! - Bree Grillo-Hill - Dublin, CA
I love this stroller! First of all, it comes in fun, non-gender specific colors, unlike so many baby items. Second, it is extremely lightweight and easy to unfold one-handed (even while holding a baby). Third, the proportions of the stroller are perfect! My husband and I test-drove many umbrella strollers and found that we usually kicked the wheels (he is 6 feet tall, while I am 5'6"), but we don't with the Maclaren. Also, the handles are tall enough that he is not hunched over pushing the stroller. There are a lot of other great features, too. There is a carry strap that is great for transporting the stroller. The mesh seat keeps baby cool in the summer, and we purchased the "Volo accessory pack" which has a solid, padded seat liner which we use in the winter to keep baby warm. I do recommend getting the accessory pack, which also has a rain cover and carry-bag for the stroller. The basket under the seat in on the small side (forget about fitting a diaper bag in there) but I don't mind carrying the diaper bag because the stroller is so lightweight and manuverable. My only other issue is that the sun canopy does not tilt very far forward. Overall, we are very satisfied with the Maclaren Volo.
