Review: Maclaren Volo – The Anytime Stroller

01/17/2012 by The Mama Maven

By Guest Blogger Maytal Wichman

The Maclaren Volo is the type of stroller that works well for practically all ages and all occasions. It’s great for babies ages six months and up, as well as their older siblings (up to 55 lbs.). It’s perfect for a quick walk to the park, a day in the city, or even to take on a long road trip.

Pros: at 8.8 lbs. the Volo is very lightweight – anyone can carry it. It folds quickly and easily and is very compact, yet also sturdy and stable. The ride is very smooth and requires very little pushing. Conveniently, the Volo has a nice-sized storage basket underneath and comfortable handles. It’s also very affordable.

Cons: Like a typical umbrella stroller, the seat does not recline (although I myself have never used the recline feature in strollers when my kids napped). I also thought that the included rain cover could have been a little better, the regular Maclaren Raincover may work much better.

Verdict: We say yes — the Volo is an affordable and useful investment for your family and can be used conveniently anytime, anyplace.

You can purchase the Volo for $130 on Amazon. It’s suitable for children 6 months and up.

I received a Volo stroller for review but was not paid to write this post. All opinions are my own.

She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature as well as a Law Degree, but writing about nutrition and helping families eat better is her true passion. She grew up in both California and Israel, which explains her love for California cuisine (fresh, local ingredients), as well as Mediterranean food (flavorful, heart-healthy ingredients). Maytal is a stay-at-home mom to two kids (ages 4 & 2) and works hard to ensure they eat healthy, unprocessed food, while trying to make it as delicious as possible. Married to a vegetarian and being a pescetarian herself, this can be quite a challenge. On an ordinary night at her dinner table, you can hear things like “More cauliflower, please!”, “How come I didn’t get a lot of tomato?” and “Fish oil! Yaaaay!”.
