Author's Review
This is one of THE best purchases I have made for my daughter.
Being an urban mom, I shuddered at the thought of purchasing a mini-van and adapted my turbo new beetle to being a "mommy mobile". The only problem was that the very cool full size stroller that I received for a shower gift wouldn't fit into the trunk. I purchased the Maclaren Volo stroller as a 2nd stroller only to be used when the kid and I were on the road and didn't have access to the Daddy mobile - Nissan Pathfinder.
I was surprised how much I LOVED this stroller and soon our standard full size stroller was just collecting dust in our basement. This compact, 8.6 pound wonder handles beautifully through crowded stores, in parks, street festivals and is a life saver on public transportation. The lockable swivel wheels make quick turns a breeze. With the full sized stroller, I was always looking for the elevators and handicapped entrances. Now I simply scoop the kid up, collapse the stroller with 1 hand, toss it over my shoulder with the carry strap and take the stairs. This has simplified my life so much I cannot even express the words.
Comfort - We purchased this "2nd" stroller when my daughter was outgrowing her infant carrier and have continued to use it as a toddler. Although it doesn't recline, she has had no problem falling asleep, and I feel safe navigating congested streets knowing she is safe in the 5 point harness.
Style - I love the pop of orange from underneath the canopy. It simply makes me happy. Also, I am grateful that stroller designers have recognized that pastels and Disney characters are not what I want to see as I stroll down Michigan Avenue. The color has remained vibrant despite multiple washings, and since it's so easy to clean I don't worry about melting ice cream cones or jumping through puddles.
Often when folks see me out with this stroller they feel the need to share how much they too love this stroller. It's as thought there is a secret club of parents who realize we should have never bought into the trendy full size stroller craze that every baby registry recommends.
