	Maclaren Volo A lightweight and easy to use stroller. It is easy to fold with a carry strap. Single position, easy to clean which has self locking wheels and a removable mesh seat. Ergonomic handle for comfortable pushing. Adjustable five-point for baby security. The stroller comes with a rain cover.	Graco IPO The IPO Stroller is a compact toddler stroller with European styling. It allows one-hand folding and has a carry handle. The recommended child weight is 50lbs (22.6kg). The stroller comes with a reclining seat, a canopy with peek-a-boo window and storage basket. The child is secure with a combination 3-point or 5-point harness.
Accessories: Lightweight strollers don't normally have many extras. They are usually equipped with a basket and canopy, and sometimes cup holders.	The Maclaren is equipped with a reasonably sized basket and a useful rain protector and sun shield.	The Graco is equipped with a small basket underneath the seat for storing small items. The basket is generally considered at a good size, with only a few users complaining that it is too small. The stroller has a canopy (sunshade) with a peek-a-boo window but is not equipped with cup holders
Adult Comfort: The level of comfort this stroller provides for the adults who push and use it. Some strollers are not comfortable for adults over a certain height, others make your feet kick the back wheels, and this all has to be considered.	The Maclaren is very easily manoeuvred, even single handedly. It is comfortable for taller people, between 5'4 (162.5m) and 6' (182.9m) as they do not bang their feet on the wheels or need to stoop. The stroller has a crossbar on the rear-wheel locks which allows locking both wheels simultaneously, as opposed to the individual locks prevalent in most models. The handles are comfortable and the stroller is very easy to carry anywhere.	The Graco is light and easy to manoeuver, with good one-hand folding action and small space requirements when folded. It is usually more comfortable for adults over 5'7 (170cm), and shorter users commented that it may not be easy to smaller persons to push the stroller or load it into a car. The stroller is generally perceived as sturdy and comfortable, and easy to handle. It is also not likely to tip when hanging bags on its handles.

Child age and weight: Strollers have child weight limit which usually correlates to age and size.	Carrying Capacity: 55 lbs. (15 kg).	Graco recommends the IPO stroller for children up to 50lb (18kg). In some cases children up to five years of age may sit in the stroller comfortably, with the stroller not losing control or maneuverability. This stroller is usually comfortable for big or tall children.
Low Cost: How expensive is this stroller?	The Maclaren is relatively expensive.	The Graco IPO is usually not expensive.
Easy Folding and Carrying: Lightweight 'umbrella' strollers are meant for travel. How easy is it really to fold and unfold the stroller?	The Maclaren is very easy to open and close and has good one-hand operation. It is extremely lightweight and the carrying strap is very handy and comfortable.	The Graco is lightweight and easy to fold or open up. It also folds to a very small size and doesn't take up much space in the car when folded. The stroller offers true one hand operation.
Security and Comfort: Security and comfort are very important for your child, how secure is the stroller for children and how comfortable is the seat?	The Maclaren is equipped with a very good 5 point harness and a child-proof buckle. Even though the seat does not recline, most children seem to love the stroller and feel comfortable in it. However, this and the way the shoulder straps are manufactured mean that the stroller could be uncomfortable for smaller children. The lack of recline can also mean that children of all ages may feel uncomfortable when sleeping in the stroller.	The Graco IPO's seat reclines up to 60 degrees which is considered very comfortable for children. Most children have no trouble falling asleep in the stroller - which is good. The stroller's harness can be used as 3 or 5-point. This allows for more security when used with babies, or more comfort for older children. The Graco is usually considered safe and comfortable for relatively bigger children and the seat's back support is considered good. In rare cases the seat may drop to a 45 degrees position by a toddler's motion. This isn't good but is not very likely to happen. The seat sides are not padded for comfort and this can pose a problem for some children, especially when sleeping.
Lightweight: A stroller's weight is usually important for when you need to push it up or down hill, and when you need to load it to your car or unload it. On the other hand, lower weight strollers, if they are not made from hi-tec materials, are usually more fragile and prone to break down sooner than others.	The Maclaren's weight is 8.6 lbs (3.9 kg). This is extremely light for a stroller and many users report that it feels very lightweight and easy to handle, load to the car or even carry around when required.	The Graco weighs 17.53lb (7.95kg). Some users believe this to be too heavy, especially when required to hold a child in one hand and the stroller in the other.
