I was having the same dilemma, wondering what to do. I have heard so many people talk about the Maclarens here on the boards. But I have never seen one. I live in a small west Texas town with not alot of choices. But I was at Target last week and they actually had the Maclaren Volo!!! I pulled it down to test it out and it was AMAZING!!! I really thought all strollers were basically the same. I knew I didn't want umbrella strollers because they are so uncomfortable to push!! (I am 5'11 and my husband is 5'10, we look all hunched over pushing them, I'm sure it looks hilarious) But I am now sold on the Volo. We decided to just spend the extra money and buy 2 Volos. We are going to be there for 10 days so I want everyone to be as comfortable as possible.
At Target they are $99.99. But there is a store on ebay where you can buy them brand new for $45.99-$54.99 plus $20 shipping. They have tons of cute colors, too.
