Maclaren Volo

[Deleted]

Anybody have this stroller?  Do you like it?  Do you think it will fit your kid when they are 3-4?

I need a traveling stroller but need a nice one that will fit her until she is done with a stroller, so probably almost 4.  We will be taking it to places like Chicago, National Parks and Europe so it needs to be decent on bumpy walkways.  


Any other stroller recommendations?  I would like to spend under $150 if possible.

I don't believe the Volo reclines. The Maclaren Globetrotter is on Amazon for 159.

In that price range, I've had friends recommend the Chicco Capri. The Chicco Liteway is 139 on Amazon.

I just bought a cheapie First Years one for an upcoming trip. I just can't stomach taking a nice stroller on the airplane...

I have the Maclaren triumph, which looks similiar to the Volo, and I love it. It's lightweight, folds up easily and quickly, and handles well. I'd definitely recommended Maclaren strollers.

Is the Volo under $150? I looked at Maclarens and almost got the Quest, but went with an Uppabany G-luxe instead. From what I've heard, Maclarens makes a great stroller!

I'm not sure what my maclaren is (someone gave it to me) but its great. Nice and light, reclines, folds up easily, compact etc. We will be taking it to Italy in July.

I have also looked at the Globetrotter and Triumph! I have seen good things about the Triumph but haven't found many reviews on the Globetrotter, I think because it is newer. EmmieB1025 do you think the increase in price of the triumph is worth the recline feature?

It was $120 when I saw it at Babies r us, it is their cheap stroller and doesn't recline.  But now I am thinking I might want a recline feature

I've heard good things about the Inglesina Swift. It's $110 on Amazon and has a full recline. I'm thinking of getting it for future treks to Brooklyn on the subway. I think orriskitten already has it

I think so.  DS will sometimes nap in his stroller and seems to relax more if he is a little bit reclined.  

ETA:  I don't know how Craigslist is in your area, but you might check on there.  I did a quick search on our CL and several Maclaren strollers are listed for around $50.

I've only had my umbrella stroller for a week now, but I have to say, the reclining feature is key. Napping and long walks would be super difficult without it.

DEFINITELY get a recline especially for travel! who knows when they'll want to sleep.

I have it and I like it and it is quite tall so I could see it lasting until 4 years. It has a great basket, reclines nicely and so far so good.

So I found a used Maclaren Triumph on Craigslist. I'm going to go look at it tonight!
