Product Description
Maclaren expertly answers the needs of busy families on-the-go with the ultra-light Volo stroller. Sleek and compact with an amazingly lightweight aluminum chassis, the Volo is unmatched in quality and durability. The Volo comes with an included sun hood and an exciting new collection of fashionable fabrics for 2006. The fixed position mesh seat is comfortable for children and easy to clean for parents. Volo's ergonomically designed foam grip handles are high, enabling easy pushing without bending to reach. With lockable swivel wheels, the Volo is almost effortless to push. An easy compact fold allows a parent to keep a firm hold on baby while folding, and an adjustable shoulder strap makes carrying the Volo a breeze. A coordinated accessory pack is available (sold separately) for the Volo and includes a silver seat-liner, rain cover & carry bag.

 Volo review April 4, 2007

My almost- 3 yr old daughter needed a new umbrella stroller (she's tall, but still gets tired sometimes, especially if I take her shopping). I researched the options and picked the Maclaren Volo. My first stroller before it was Chicco Capri, and it always bumped against my legs, which was annoying and uncomfortable. When the canopy broke, I got rid of it and decided on buying a new one for plane travel and local outings.
The Volo seemed great - light, handsome, convenient, and highly rated by parents.
I ordered the stroller and, upon unpacking it, was quite pleased with its appearance. I read the instructions and learned to use it. The stroller seemed sturdy, well-made, and easy to maneuver, not to mention chic.
The washable seat was a good idea, I thought. I liked how large it was (perfect for an older child), and how easily it moved.
When I took the new Volo around the block, I noticed that one of the double back wheels was not aligned properly (one was higher than the other and did not rotate, which caused the stroller to make a scraping sound). Then the other set stopped rotating when one(!) pine needle got stuck in it! I had to carefully remove it with my hands in the middle of the street. Needless to say, that's not the quality I expected, since every parent I know raved about Maclaren.
The canopy kept sliding off the rails, as well - something you would NOT want at the airport, with your toddler and luggage and the car seat in tow.
When I got home, I looked at the wheels closely and tried to adjust them, but to no avail. They were flimsy (I could dent them with my finger if I wanted to!), way too small and just poorly designed. I immediately packed up the stroller and returned it to Amazon.
I was very disappointed. One would think that for such a high price, the wheels would be usable - after all, they are the most important feature of any stroller.
I will stay with Chicco and order a C6. At least I know that the wheels are great, and you can't beat the price.
 Great umbrella stroller! March 29, 2007

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.

The Maclaren Umbrella Stroller is the best around. It's very lightweight and easy to manuver. It's worth the price and I would highly recommend this stroller for every mom with a child over 1 year old. The only drawback is that the basket under the seat can only hold up to 5 lbs. This stroller is easy to open and close and fits nicely in the trunk of your car.
