What age would you recommend Maclaren Volo for?

I have 2 sons, 3 and 18 months. I think i want to get a Volo for the 3 year old, but I am debating for my 18 month old. Do you think he would like the quest better? Thanks so much!

My son just turned 2, and he's NEVER liked strollers. Ever. He's been in all makes and models - I used to borrow from friends and test-drive, because I was desperate to be able to have him be in a stroller for more than 10 minutes without pitching a fit.

I plunked him in a Volo last week. It was like I just handed an 18 year old the keys to a shiny new Porsche, lol. He l-o-v-e-s it, and we go on walks (GASP!), and he doesn't fret at all.

It doesn't recline, so if your 18 mos. would sleep in a stroller it's probably not a great choice. My guy doesn't sleep anywhere but his crib, so it didn't matter for him. I love it, and wished I hadn't put so much importance on parent and child trays when deciding on a stroller.

I also got my huge 4 year old one, and he loves it, too. I make him walk when we go for walks here - his chariot is for Disney only - but he hops in his brothers while his brother pushes him. That should give you an idea of how easy they are to push - my 30 pound guy pushes my 48 pound guy all around and up small hills.
