Maclaren Volo
The Maclaren Volo is an ultralight umbrella stroller with a removable, washable mesh sling seat, ideal for life on the go. Its lack of a recline feature as well as a leg rest, along with a high weight capacity make it suitable for short trips and for an older child. The wheels with soft suspension perform great on less demanding surfaces and contribute to Volo’s manoeuvrability and smooth ride. Since 2016, the Volo has an improved hood with an extra panel with ventilation, however, it has no reflective accents anymore.
Together with Maclaren Mark II, the Maclaren Volo is one of the world’s lightest umbrella stroller. A higher model with improved, padded backrest and the possibility of a slight recline is the Maclaren Globetrotter.
The Volo is usually available in light colours, it was also released in various special editions belonging to Maclaren Objects of Design. The Ace is inspired by the Grand Slam tournaments and comes with an engraved metal plaque. The colour scheme of the Ace is predominantly white with contrasting royal blue details and subtle yellow patterns of tennis imagery. The perforated white leather handles and yellow terry cloth seat liner make this stroller even more unusual. Available is also the colourful Dylan’s Candy Bar edition, the Wing Knit edition with a lighter woven seat, the Neon edition with distinctive fluorescent hues and the B-01 special edition - a contribution to Maclaren’s 50th anniversary and the world’s first umbrella stroller.

Parent reviews of the Maclaren Volo
- easy folding
- super lightweight
- after blocking the rear wheels, the front ones still move to the sides
- when I hang my backpack over the handlebars and my child is not sitting in the buggy, it flips over backward
A perfect spare buggy that you can fold in three seconds. Were using it from my DDs two years approximately.
