what kind of stroller accessories do I need?

What kind of stroller accessories do I need and where can I get them? I have 2 volos for a 3 year old and almost 2 year old. Thanks for your help!

I would buy a water bottle holder. I bought the Jolly Jumper Caddy from Sears for $12 Can. It holds two waterbottles and has a zippered section in the middle. It also has two smaller pockets in the front.

I know Maclaren sells their own holder but it is more expensive.

Just FYI - if you put any kind of parent tray/bag on a Volo, it WILL tip over when you take your child out unless you have counter-weight on the bottom. Even the Maclaren bag will flip it.

We just got back and also used two Volo strollers, which I LOVED. Anyway, I used insulated lunch bags and just hung them on the handles of the strollers. They were large enough to hold a LARGE drink or two water bottles. I guess because they hung low enough. I never had to worry about tipping the strollers over. The lunch bags didn't have to be taken off either to fold up the stroller! (Got lime green ones from the local Dollar Tree for $1 each.) This was a great simple and cheap solution. Also, I didn't have to worry about it coming un-velcroed (is that even a word ).

Finally, I also altered a couple of the lunch bags to velcro down where the boys sit - for their drinks. The drawback there was that drinks/snacks fell out (if not closed) when you fold up the stroller. The boys only ended up having water bottles, so we just took theirs out of the bag and put in the hanging lunch bags before folding.

Um, a rain cover of some sort. I found that a poncho was easy. (The Volos come with a cover, but I didn't use ours.)

That is darn clever! I'm going to try that!

Will these work on a maclaren volo? They look like they would only work on a certain type of stroller

I don't have my P3 yet - shipped to the resort. But was told by another poster that she uses it on her P3.

They have similar handles the P3 and the Macs. The caddy is attached using velcro.
