Review Summary: Kids slouch in this particular Maclaren.
We have had a Volo in the distant past, when the entire fabric was meshed. That suffered being left somewhere, and we needed something for a transatlantic trip so we re-purchased. When we got this we first thought that it was defective. The fabric was too slack and the result was that the child was totally slouched, back making a nice 'C' shape. We went instead with the one model above it that has the reclining seat as that seat has stays to keep it flat. Was worth the extra couple of dollars and pounds of weight.

Review Summary: Perfect For An Older Child
We bought this for our 4 yr old. We needed something light and easy to handle for Disney vacations and day trips. He does not need a stroller much anymore. We needed something that can hold a higher weight. At 4 1/2 he is 46 pounds and tall. This folds and unfolds with one hand. Then easily slip the carry strap onto the shoulder. Perfect for easily getting on/off the Disney buses. It is very lightweight. I would not buy this for a smaller child needing more from a stroller. But for an older child needing only some sit down time at Disney it is perfect. Plus it was cheaper then renting a stroller at Disney.

Pros:
-very light
-easy to fold/unfold
-easy to handle
-can carry a child up to 55 pounds, one of the only ones I found
-has a carry strap

Cons:
-back does not adjust which is not necessarily a con in itself but my very tall son is put into an odd sort of half recline position and the top of the seat hits him at the base of the neck. His head flops backwards. He has to hold his head up or sit forward. The sun cover velcros to the seat which then holds the seat up more and gives his head somewhere to rest. We cannot use this without the sun cover.
-no cup holder so I bought one to put on this

Review Summary: SO-SO STROLLER
My friend had recommended this stroller and she researches everything to death so I expected more from it. I was torn between a Britax blink and the Volo and went with the Volo since it was cheaper and lighter. What I do like is that it's lightweight, easy to maneuver, and folds up fairly simple. What I don't like is that the stupid canopy just pops off when I'm trying to open or close the stroller. Also there are no cup holders. I'm also disappointed it doesn't recline but obviously I knew that when I bought it. I just didn't realize how much my almost 3 yr old would still long to lie down when strolling in it. This stroller is ok and we'll probably take it to Disneyland for our 6 yr old but will have to get another one that reclines for our younger daughter. Guess buying this depends on what you really need and want in a stroller.
