I recently replied on a thread here (http://windsorpeak.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=406071&page=2) about not being too fond of the Stark. I had purchased one for a a trip a few months back and another for my sister because of the smokin' deal. :) I tried it out once at the mall but didn't give it a real chance because DH didn't like it from the start and I could hear him complaining about it in the future. So I avoided getting it dirty and never tried it again so I could sell it and get all my money back...which I did. :yay:
Anyway, my sister came to visit and brought the Stark along. I told her I'd spray it for her (in the spot roseylox mentioned) to make it easier to open but as it turned out it wasn't sticky when I opened it. Apparently it was used enough by her that it became easier to open. I decided to give it a test drive again with the older kiddos in the house AND well, I CHANGED MY MIND!!! It's an awesome little travel stroller afterall!!!! and I would definitely chose it over the Volo for travel. I wish I actually had the Stark instead of the Volo on that last trip because with the bigger girls it would have been a nicer push than the Volo. It just feels sturdier. I also prefered how my 7 month sat in the Stark over the Volo. Doesn't she look better in the Stark? Her head doesn't fall sideways like in the Volo and she isn't nearly as slouchy. She looks more comfortable in the Stark but the Volo looks too big for her still.
Lots of comparison pics below (and on reply posts because I couldn't fit them all)!!! Hope these are helpful to someone.
