Friday Find…Stroller

0

To keep myself in the habit of posting on a regular basis, I have decided to make Fridays my “Finds” day. Whether it be a fabulous new whisk, a cool hotel, a deal on a cruise, or an Etsy artist, I will feature it here, every Friday.


For my first Friday Find, I am choosing the Maclaren Volo Stroller.

This handy, lightweight stroller was recommended to me by another fantastic blogging Mom – Anne Strawberry. Anne put me onto this stroller when I did an SOS post about our trip to Italy, when I needed a good quality lightweight stroller for the flight over as well as the cobblestone streets of Rome and Venice.

From the Manufacturer

Maclaren Volo Stroller with a hood is lightweight and easy to use at 8.6 pounds. It is easy and fast to fold ‘n go with handy carry strap. This is a modern single position, easy to clean which has self locking wheels and a removable mesh seat. It has an ergonomic foam gripped handle with an angled frame for comfortable pushing.

Now – what do I think of this stroller? Well, obviously, I love it. I love the fact that it opens and closes easily. I love that it weighs 8 pounds, compared to the huge stroller I used to have that was too heavy to even use regularly. I love that I will be able to use this stroller for a couple of years – it’s the last stroller I will ever buy. I also love that I lucked into the deal of the century on it – I had taken some of Sev’s old clothes to Once Upon A Child (a kid’s used/consignment type of shop) and spotted a very gently used Volo for $40. A huge savings, but in all honesty, I would buy it again at full price – it’s that good. Seven was able to sleep in it all over Italy with no trouble, even though it doesn’t recline. Being able to just be thrown over my shoulder and carry it is a big plus, too.
 
If you are looking for a reliable, easy, well made stroller – look no further. Target carries this stroller regularly for $129+, but for now, on Amazon, you can pick it up for under $99. Anyone else got things to say about the Volo? Share it here!
