i was going to get one till I read this review of 12 babies , amputated fingers and a US recall of the product.

Fantastic lite weight buggy. Ideal for use on public transport or travelling in hot countries. We've had ours 4yrs still going strong and its survived long haul travel &hols to Australia. Negative is doesn't lie flatter when little ones go to sleep, and I used cushion on seat for longer days out. Brakes can get bit sticky after long use. But excellent value for money from one year old to 4yr olds.

I've had my Volo for 6 years and used it with 3 children and its still going strong. Its light, easy to fold, has enough storage for a small bag and its mesh type material seems very comfortable in hot weather (we live in Spain). its only very obvious disadvantage is that it doesnt recline but since all three of mine have been useless at sleeping out of their cots it hasnt really mattered. Saying that I have got another pushchair I use if we are going out for a long day and I know my daughter will need to sleep.

A good temporary buggy (holidays) but wouldn't want to use it for much more.

The seat offers little support, especially near the head and neck. The harness clip is very stiff and it's quite hard to manoeuvre.

I did like that the whole thing is washable and the material allows air to move around the child. Shopping basket is a good size and the hood is big and gives coverage from the sun.

Very light and folds up small, so a good second buggy to keep in the boot of the car.

Comments from other mumsnetters; "Fabulously "light", "manoeuvrable" and "chic" buggy that's "ideal for shopping trips, stairs, public transport and holidays". It's "well-made" and has some "quality touches" like padded handles, "long enough even for the taller user". Some found the brakes "tricky to operate" and it's not the most comfy for a young child, as the seat doesn't give great support but folks were unanimous that it's "the perfect stroller for a toddler" and as it's so compact and easy to fold "you can keep it in the car boot". It's also ideal for travelling "and the mesh fabric helps keep your child cool".
