We are down to one stroller at our house and it's a Mac Volo. I sold all the others because we simply weren't using them. The Volo is all we need! I bought the Volo when my youngest was 18 months old for a trip to Disney where I would be going to the parks by myself with my two boys while DH was at a conference. I needed something that was lightweight (to be taken on Disney transportation) and I could carry while still having hands free to hold on to the kids. I wasn't worried about the recline because my youngest never napped in the stroller (or really anywhere else for that matter). However, he did nap in the Volo at Disney and the lack of recline didn't seem to bother him one bit.The Volo was honestly the best $100 I have ever spent on a stroller. My youngest is now almost 4 and our Volo has been used a whole lot and is still going. It is still in great shape, although the trim on the black hood is a little faded from the sun.Even my very tall (110% for height) older son could ride in the Volo comfortably until he was around 6 years old. He's almost 7 now and is just too tall and heavy. My older son rode in the Volo many times before he got to big and the stroller has held up very well. It was easy to push and steer, even with a child on the high end of the weight scale riding. The Volo does have several drawbacks.
The biggest is probably that it can easily tip over if you hang bags from the handle bars and the child gets out of the stroller. I have never had a problem with tipping (thank goodness) with a child in the stroller, but now that my kids are older they like to get out of the stroller at random. This is a common problem with light weight umbrella type strollers, however, and not a flaw with the Volo itself.The Volo does not recline, but I bought it knowing this and it has not been a problem for us.There is no parent tray or more importantly, place to put my keys, cel phone and water bottle. I did purchase the Mac organizer that hangs from the back (around $20) and this has solved most of the problem, but it was an added cost. This organizer is nice because unlike the under seat basket, it does not have to be emptied when the stroller is folded.
