	Chicco c6 A Lightweight stroller designed in Italy. Annodized aluminum frame with 2-position reclining seat. Secured with a padded 5-point harness. Adjustable, removable, canopy and storage basket. Manufacturer recommends for age 6-36 months and up to 37 lbs.	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.
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 Chicco C6 is very comfortable for children, and they usually have no problem sleeping in it. The two position reclining seat provides comfort for children, and has good incline and good support for the back. For some children the firm back and maximum recline from the upfront position may not be comfortable enough. On the other hand, for younger children the seat is sometimes too reclined. The reclining mechanism lets parents change the seat's incline with minimum movement for the child. The stroller is very sturdy, and is mostly perceived to provide a smooth, secure and comfortable ride. The 5-point harness provides good security for their children, is not too tight or too loose around the child's neck and the strap buckles are very secure, making it impossible for babies to open by themselves. The brakes and sun shade are pretty good, and the fabric is breathable.	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.
Easy Folding and Carrying: Lightweight 'umbrella' strollers are meant for travel. How easy is it really to fold and unfold the stroller?	The Chicco C6 is very easy to handle, lightweight and collapses very easily to a small size, and takes up a very small space when collapsed. The travel bag that comes with the stroller is very useful and sets this stroller apart from others. This offsets the locking clasp that holds the stroller when collapsed ? which is awkward to use at first and possibly not strong enough. The travel bag fits very tight when the stroller is inside and could be made better if it was a little bigger. The carrying strap is also very useful.	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.

Low Cost: How expensive is this stroller?	The Chicco C6 is quite cheap.	The Maclaren is relatively expensive.
Child age and weight: Strollers have child weight limit which usually correlates to age and size.	Chicco recommends this stroller for children of ages 6 to 36 months and who weigh up to 37 lbs (16.5kg).	Carrying Capacity: 55 lbs. (15 kg).
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 Chicco C6 is stable and is not likely to tip over when you hang bags on the handles. It also steers, manoeuvres and handles well. The stroller is comfortable for most parents between 5'4 (162.6m) and 5'8 (172.7m) ? Between these heights you shouldn't have problems with the height of the handles or with kicking the wheels when pushing the stroller. For parents over 5'8 (172.7m) the stroller may be uncomfortable for pushing as the handles are a little short, don't pull out and can't provide enough space between their feet and the wheels. This stroller is very good for travel and airports and steers well one handed. It does not jolt on uneven pavements or ground. The material is easy to clean, but notice that in the folded position, the back wheels touch the canopy and may make it dirty	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.
Accessories: Lightweight strollers don't normally have many extras. They are usually equipped with a basket and canopy, and sometimes cup holders.	The Chicco C6 is equipped with a small basket underneath the seat for storing small items. The basket is generally considered very useful and at a good size, with only a few users saying it is either too small or very roomy. The front swivel wheels may be locked to a straight position. These wheels and the rear brakes work well. The stroller is stable and is not likely to tip over with bags hung on the handles. The adjustable canopy (sunshade) is removable and is quite valuable, with some users mentioning that it does not extend far enough. The stroller is not equipped with cup holders and the material it is made of isn't wash proof. The clasp which holds the stroller folded is not sturdy enough.	The Maclaren is equipped with a reasonably sized basket and a useful rain protector and sun shield.
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 Chicco C6 weighs 11 pounds (5kg).	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.
