 Everything I ExpectedNov 23, 2008
After going through two or three cheap umbrella strollers with our first child I vowed to get a Maclaren with our second. We first got an Easy Traveler for use with the infant carseat. That was great! Now that he's 1yo and graduated from that carseat, I got the Maclaren "umbrella" stroller for everyday use. It's great. Folds up easily and has its integral latch for staying closed. This latest model (2008?) has a superior latching system, with the shoulder straps integrally connected to the lap belt piece on each side and snaps into the center button surely and securely. This model also has a crossbar on the rear-wheel locks so that when you lock or unlock one wheel it does both, simultaneously. The canopy is functional, and the built-in shoulder strap is very handy. The included rain shield looks great, but I haven't had an occasion to use it yet in sunny California. I added on the "Maclaren Universal Organizer" easily and it's very handy.
Maclaren Universal Organizer - Carbon
I'm fairly tall and I used to kick the wheels on other strollers all the time -- but not this one. The handles are comfortable and the wheels are set forward enough that I don't stumble over them. One drawback -- the forward-set wheels tend to make the stroller tip back when the child is not in it. If you fill up the Universal Organizer or put a drink on the back (in my Valco Universal Cupholder -- great addition!) it tends to tip back easily.
Valco Baby Universal Cup Holder
The tipping notwithstanding, all an all, the perfect stroller for me. I preferred the Volo to the higher-end entries in the Maclaren line because I wanted something light, compact, and very portable. It's a tiny bit bigger and heavier than the cheapo $20 umbrella strollers but it's the perfect happy medium in my opinion.

Great travel strollerNov 02, 2008
I just bought our second Maclaren Volo after an airline lost our first. It is an excellent lightweight stroller that works very well, folds easily, and is perfect for travel. It is comfortable to push for both my 5'4" self and my 6' tall husband. We also have a Bob Revolution that I use for long walks, going to the park, etc. But the Maclaren Volo is the stroller we grab for shopping trips, going to restaurants, anywhere we may be needing a stroller that is easily folded and stowed away. If I lost this one, I'd buy it again.

The stroller is perfect for travel. I bought it for our recent trip to Orlando, FL. A brand new stroller put to the test. From airport to airport, Disney parks, strolling around town and to the beach. It's superb maneuverability is impressive. My 4 yr old son loved riding in it. It is so easy to fold and stow in the car and very light to carry to lug anywhere. I'm not a complainer but I will say the only thing I wish this stroller had was a reclining back in case the sleepy toddler wants to nap in it comfortably. But you can't have it all. Just make sure you know what's important and practical for you and your toddler. Have lots of fun!

 My son hates this stroller...Sep 17, 2008
I bought this stroller to keep in the car and use when traveling. We recently took a trip to Europe and brought this stroller along because it is light and small. It was terrible. Because the seat doesn't recline, smaller children are extremely uncomfortable. Additionally, though it says that it works for smaller children, the way they've made the shoulder straps, it is nearly impossible to get them to fit a small baby (my son is a large 8 month old). We had to do a work around to get the straps short enough to hold him in and then they cut into his neck. When he fell asleep in it, his head would fall forward and he looked incredibly uncomfortable. Because it was so uncomfortable, we had to wrestle with him to get him in it and most of the time decided to just carry him instead.
In short, don't make the same mistake that we did. Buy the next model up and then you won't have to buy a second after you're disappointed with this model. It's cheaper to spend the money on the front end.

A Must Have!!!Aug 22, 2008
This stroller is one of the lightest strollers that I've found. It's very easy to manuever. Perfect for traveling. We just returned from Disney World and it was convenient to have as we had to fly there and use Disney's transportation; it folds very quickly and it was a breeze getting through the parks. Nice stroller to have when on the go. My toddler seemed to like it too and had no problems napping in it. And the rain shield was a plus!!!
