Pros: Lightweight, Easy to steer

Cons: Expensive

The Bottom Line: A stroller that my husband does not mind to push when we go out.

Review: Now that my daughter is getting older, her stroller needs are changing. At times she is more than willing to ride in a stroller, other times she rather just walk. I was finding that taking her stroller into and out of the car becoming more and more...

Quality small tires

Cons: slippery seat, suspension

The Bottom Line: We have no regrets over this purchase.

Review: We bought this stroller before embarking on a trip east to visit parents, friends, etc. It's really a very handy gadget: easy to travel width, easy to fold up and fold out. We looked at the Combi travel-stroller and it just didn't seem as sturdy;...

Pros: Lightweight, Easy to Use, Sturdy, Basket

Cons: A bit Pricey.

The Bottom Line: Although this is more expensive then the typical umbrella stroller, it is worth every penny. I highly recommend this stroller.

The Bottom Line: Top of the line, dependable, basic umbrella stroller to take that soon to be toddler into the future.

Review: We inherited a jogging stroller and a big Combi stroller. While the Combi was relatively light, it wasn't an umbrella stroller and was only practical when our son was in his infant carrier. The jogging stroller is great for long walks, but it isn't...

Cons: Becomes a bit costly to add accessories - like sun shade.

The Bottom Line: The Volo is a great city stroller for older babies and toddlers.

We own a Maclaren Techno and Maclaren Volo. I will not review the Techno, because the version we have is no longer available (ours is the 2001...

Review: 4/24/09 update
Just wanted to let people know that this stroller is STILL in service. It's currently carting my 3 year old newphew around. It still looks and performs like new. You'd never know it was a 6 year old stroller.

Cons: a little expensive for what it is, a splurge

The Bottom Line: i would recommend if you don't mind overpaying a bit

Review: I purchased the Volo (in orange) as a lightweight stroller for travel. My son was 4 1/2 when we purchased it. Our regular stroller was a Peg Perego Pliko and I was looking for something a little easier to travel with now that my son was older. I...
