Maclaren Volo Baby Stroller in Black

The Maclaren Volo Baby Stroller is another favorite that won over the hearts of numerous parents we’ve surveyed. The Volo is one of the simplest, uber lightweight, no frills, easy to use, easy to fold, easy to push, compact strollers available today. If you’re looking for a stroller with no fancy complications that you can take anywhere, anytime, the Volo is perfect for you.

Maclaren Volo Baby Stroller: The Pros

The Volo is a nippy buggy stroller that handles well on pavements, kerbs, and surprisingly, even on bumpy ground. It’s easy peasy to change direction with it, too.

This buggy stroller is a lightweight stroller so carrying or dragging it up and down stairs is a cinch. It even comes with a carrying strap which makes it even easier to carry. Its small size makes going through doors and riding public transport like a walk in the park.

It’s very easy to fold it even with one hand, and because of its compact size, when it’s folded you can store it almost anywhere and it will fit.

If we are to describe this pushchair in 2 words, it’s gotta be “easy and simple”. Everything about it is easy – it’s easy to fold, unfold, manoeuvre, carry, push, clean, and store away.

The brakes are rather unique compared to most strollers as they are engaged by clicking a lever side to side rather than up and down. This design prevent the brakes from getting easily get caught on stairs so it’s great.

Other Pros worthy to note:

• Perfect for city dwellers and makes a great holiday buggy
• Super convenient for public transport use
• The sizeable storage basket is a winner. It’s like driving a Mini but with a boot twice the size!

Maclaren Volo Buggy Stroller: The Cons

The Maclaren Volo’s back cannot be adjusted in several positions, so it has got only one seat position. You may want to consider well how this may affect your child’s comfort level. As you can see in the pictures, the Volo looks very basic – so much so that some parents may find it “too basic”. So if you’re the type who likes fancy features and elaborate luxuries then the Volo Stroller is not for you.

Conclusion

The Maclaren Volo Buggy Stroller is a fun little performer that’s so easy to steer. It’s remained a favourite pushchair because of it’s a lightweight, compact, basic stroller that’s perfect for a quick nip outside, great for city use, provides ample storage space, and convenient to take with you on a holiday.

Review

Maclaren Techno XT 2009 with Footmuff

The Maclaren Techno XT Baby Pushchair is a very popular pushchair that only gets raving feedback from almost every parent we’ve asked who owns it. It’s lightweight, trendy looking, inexpensive, durable, versatile, easy to use, easily adjustable, comfy and uber fun.

Maclaren Techno XT: The Pros

The Techno XT is a dream to push and handles itself quite well on most rough surfaces.

The extendable leg rest, padded seat, fully reclinable back support, adjustable padded harness and UV protective hood makes it a luxurious experience for your sleeping baby.

A simple but endearing feature we love about the Maclaren Techno XT is the reflective strips. This buggy just gives a feeling that you’re more visible to motorists especially on darker days so it feels much safer.

The hood is also very much appreciated by parents. It’s quite big to begin with so your darling child really gets a good shelter, and it’s also extendable thus providing an even more generous protection for your child (most useful when they’re sleeping). What’s even more brilliant about it is the pocket and bottle holders at the back to hold essential everyday things like mobile phones, drinks, and house keys.

Other Pros worthy to note:

• Easy to use brakes
• Perfect for city dwellers and makes a great holiday buggy
• Robust wheels
• Easy to fold and unfold
• Super convenient for public transport use
• Useful carry handle

Maclaren Techno XT: The Cons
Rather difficult to fault, but if we really must complain it does have a slight let down – the storage space. It’s smallish and not easily accessible so you may have to make some compromise when it comes to this aspect.

The handles, although adjustable, seem to be made with tall people in mind. Its lowest setting is actually higher than the average pushchair’s highest setting. So if you’re shorter than 5′5″ you might want to try it out first and see if you find it comfortable enough.

Conclusion
The Maclaren Techno XT Baby Pushchair is a Classic Bestselling Pushchair that almost ticks all the boxes for most people. If there’s one lightweight, practical all-round buggy we’ll recommend, it’s the Maclaren Techno XT.
