Product Description

Designed in classic Maclaren style with light weight frame, durable fabric and an easy one-handed fold (it takes only 5 seconds!). However, don't let the stroller's slim design and light weight (just under 9 lbs) fool you; the Volo is jam-packed with features. Some of those important features include: 5 point height-adjustable harness for added security Removable, washable and breathable mesh seat Compact umbrella fold with water resistant hood High-performance aluminum frame Handy mesh shopping basket Carry strap or handle for easy portability Easy-to-use central foot brake Lead-free and phthalate-free Carrying capacity: 55 lbs One-Year Manufacturer Parts Warranty Available in an assortment of colors; shown here in pea green with black stripes. Maclaren began in 1965 in England when aeronautical designer Owen Maclaren designed and patented his prototype Baby Buggy-- the B-01. Today's Maclaren Buggys are descendants of the B-01 from the lightweight frame, durable fabric, and one-hand fold -- to the above-industry standard safety features and innovative style.

 Not worth it March 9, 2010
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! January 6, 2010
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.
 OK overall but the harness is a nightmare October 10, 2009
Mr. M. J. Gordon (United Kingdom)
Lightweight construction, folds and unfolds without too much effort but the belts are rubbish
The lap belts fold through the buckles in such a way as to make it nearly impossible to adjust, while the shoulder belts - which use a more conventional buckle and can be adjusted in seconds - are secured to the stroller only by a plastic loop which passes through a slot in the fabric. They give the impression that a good pull would tear them out.
It's as if two different people designed the belts without talking to each other and without involving an actual child or parent in the process.
 Excited to use this stroller September 25, 2009
Stephanie Valencia (Sacramento, CA)
I just purchased the Volo used, it is the black model with a black canopy. I am so excited. My son is 18 months and I purchased a Jeep umbrella stroller a little over a year ago and it is just too small and narrow for my son. I read all of the review and I feel like this will be the perfect stroller for us. I'm not going to complain about the seat not reclining because that is what makes this seat so light weight and the least expensive maclaren stroller. My Jeep umbrella stroller also did not recline and my son had no problem napping in it if he was really tired. To the people wanting something for their smaller child the Jeep umbrella stroller may be an option it is very similar to the Maclaren Volo but smaller for a max of 35 lbs. My son is about 30 lbs, I really big 18 month old, so he is almost at the max. But I figure the Volo will be the last stroller I'll need to purchase.

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 $49.00 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.
