Please Help! Maclaren Volo safety belt!!

[Jennygt]

I know, I know that you warned me but I guess I was in denial! I see that you are going to the Poly in Sept, so are we, perhaps we can help each other open these stupid clips!

Jenny, you will know me by out-of-control screaming maniac with the VOLO stroller People will be walking by thinking what is that crazy woman doing? I know you will understand though

Seriously, the blowdryer trick honestly worked.

When are you going in September? We are there 4-9

So glad the hair dryer worked, did you do it while the clips were locked or open? My dslikes the stroller,I was pushing him all around the house and he was smiling. Then he turned, started crying( he just got his first tooth yesterday, second one on the way so he is cranky) I managed to get him out pretty quick, but still tight, I would love to get it a little better. We are going 9/21 -9/28. My DS 1st bday will be on the 26 so it will be an exciting trip! I will let you know how the hair dryer works for me!

Jenny,
I did the dryer for about 45 seconds on each clip. They were HOT when I was finished with them. I showed those clips who was boss! Then I clasped them together and tried opening them. They came apart like normal safety clips should. Ahhhh I am hugging the poster that gave us that great idear

1st tooth? How old is your little guy? Will this be his first trip to Disney World? How fun!!

See, I told y'all a little heat would loosen them up!

My DS is almost 5 months old. He was riding around in his quest in the house again today and he likes it. I am about to go get the hair dryer and give those clips a good heating! I will let you know how it works for me!

The first time we took our daughter to Disney she was 8 months and our son was 21 months. It was so fun! You will have such a magical time with your son!

Let me know if the heat loosened the clips! Thanks again Notursula

I still did not get to use the dryer but my son fell asleep twice today in the stroller in the house. I am very happy the he seems to like it, the clips are getting a little better. I am surprised that there are not more people on this thread with the same issue.

 

[traci]

it's probably just us jenny

Hello! Congrats on getting the Volo (I responded to your post asking for opinions about Volo's a few weeks ago because coincidentally, I had just come home from purchasing 2 of them!)

Although I have been givng the kids rides around in them, I actually have not really even tried the clips yet Better go check them out now....perhaps it isn't just you two, I will let you know if I have trouble with mine

 

[Princess-Less]

Yup, the clips on mine are tight too. I got them 2 weeks ago and they have been sitting in the basement awaiting our trip to WDW in 2 months. Glad I noticed this thread.... I'll try the blowdryer tomorrrow, but for now I am leaving the clips opened up! Definitely need to get them a little looser; my 18 month old MUST be strapped in or he never sits still, but of course I'd like to be able to get him in and out quickly at the parks. The 2nd Volo is for the 3 year old, and he may/may not be buckled all the time. Still think that I will love these strollers anyway!

Princess-Less welcome to our Volo safety clip support group!

Our kids are a year apart...I have a 2 year old daughter and 3 year old son. Your screen name is really cute. How fun it must be having all those boys! Just think you still get to be the "Queen!" My little princess has already stolen my title.

The blowdryer trick really does work. Crazy, but true.

Queen? I'd love that! "Fun" does not begin to describe life with 4 boys age 8 and under....LOUD and in constant motion is more like it. But, we do love them and they are sweet and for the most part pretty good. Happy and healthy, and we are thankful for that! I am totally outnumbered by the males so I think they will all forgive me for booking us at the Princess Dinner at Akershus in Norway...hee hee.

I used the hairdryer and the clips did open easier afterward, I think I will do it a few more times before we leave and leave them open in the mean time too. Thanks NotUrsula I hope everyone enjoys their planning and has a magical trip to WDW. traci...the pic of your daughter is adorable

 

[traci]

Yeah, we made Notursula President of our support group

I love that you making all the boys go with you to the Princess dinner! That is great. See, you are the Queen!!

okay, back to the blowdryer
