The Maclaren volo stroller is not a great stroller for infants because it Doesn't recline and have no drink holder, etc.. But for an older child needing only some sit down time it is perfect.Click here to check it's best price at amazon
Yes its more expensive than the $20 -30 umbrella strollers but its really light weight (about 8lb) and more importantly the weight limit of 55lb. Most umbrella strollers are made for kids less than 30lb.Handles are higher than the other common umbrellas, which is good since my husband do not need to bend forward to use, it also have thicker foam padding which is very nice.it's truly a one-hand fold,it is sturdy enough to hold them without falling over and it folds up to the same size as a typical umbrella stroller.
Other more features:Modern single position, easy to clean, self locking wheels, removable mesh seat. New foot operated linked parking brakes. Adjustable 5-point harness helps safeguard baby, Includes hood and rain cover.
All in all, this is a fantastic toddler stroller. I wouldn't use it with a smaller baby, or for my MAIN baby stroller. But my son is big enough now that we don't use strollers quite as often.and when we do, I enjoy using this one. It meets our needs perfectly and matches up with our lifestyle well. It is also stylish and cute, which is a plus!
As a Mother of 5 (including having a 2 yr old and newborn 2 times) Depending on the outing and seasonal weather I gave my Moby Wrap much use. I'd leave the toddler in a umbrella stroller.
It worked out great for me. As the baby got older we transitioned baby to a lightweight stroller and the now 2.5-3 yr old to walking.
