On a Roll
Heavy, all-terrain strollers have been trendy for ages, but the fact is, lighter ones are easier to fit in a taxi or maneuver on the subway. The seat of Maclaren’s eight-pound, aluminum-framed Volo is covered with an easy-to-clean fabric webbing. The stroller also has foam grip handles, a removable basket, and swiveling wheels. A shoulder strap makes for easy carrying ($99; an accessory pack with sun shade, seat liner, and rain cover is an additional $49).
