Exploring Features of the Maclaren Volo from a Mothers Perspective

Whether jogging through the park, shopping in the crowded mall or maneuvering down the busy sidewalk Maclaren has the perfect stroller for mommies and daddies on the go. Maclaren has been making quality strollers for decades and they are well-known for their easy fold. They take casual strolling as seriously as a training run and put durability, safety and comfort to the test. Their strollers provide consumers with the highest level of quality and the most versatile and functional designs available.

Maclaren Volo is less than 9 pounds, folds in only 5 seconds and can hold a child up to 55 pounds. It is lightest in their line, appropriate for children from 6 months and up offering the ultimate in lightweight category.

It is the perfect travel companion. Once it is folded it is possible to simply through it onto your back using the convenient carry strap. Fast, simple, and lightweight – that is the Volo.



So, what are the important features from mother’s perspective?
- Five-second fold system; actually, once you get the hang of it, it is possible to fold it in just two seconds!
- Excellent maneuverability. This maneuverability is due to the swivel front wheels, which can be locked in place when you wish to go straight, or set to swivel when extra maneuverability is required. Maneuverability is much needed in busy shopping malls to avoid many obstacles and sometimes just to follow the shopping route.
- Five point harness and a breathable mesh seat which is removable and washable for the comfort and, of course, safety of your precious child.
- Large storage basket for all baby essentials. Best of all, when ‘fully loaded’ it is more stable.
- Carry handle for portability when folded.

And what are important accessories from mother’s perspective?
- Universal organizer. It adds really a lot of extra storage space. It features two cup/bottle holders and a lot of space for magazines, wet tissues, keys, cell phone etc. And although the Volo is quite stabile thanks to the low center of gravity, do not overload the universal organizer. This accessory has to be purchased separately.
- A convenient Maclaren travel bag. It is not exactly pretty, but it does its job well.
- Reversible seat liners. They are both a fashion option, i.e. they help you customize the stroller with these cool umbrella stroller accessories, and they provide extra padding for the ultimate comfort of your baby.



Busy moms and dads on the go simply love the Volo, especially when going on a trip. It is also a great product for those young parents who live a healthy lifestyle and who enjoy spending as much time in parks.

The only drawback is that there is no recline, so the baby cannot lay back. For those moms who consider this feature important should check out some other lightweight umbrella style stroller.
