Customer Review: Everything I Expected
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.
Customer Review: Great travel stroller
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.
