Default volo vs. c6?

Hi! I would love some advice on which umbrella stroller to get.
My daughter is 13 months old and I have a p3, which I like, but is too bulky for trips.
My main needs in a stroller are
-light, easy to fold and unfold
-sunshade and basket
-5 pt harness
-sturdy/easy to push
-inexpensive (under $100)
I was going to get the c6 but then heard great things about the volo, and found 1 for a great price. My main issue is that I heard the white canopies get filthy, so I would get black, but is that too hot for the summer? I don't really care about the recline since she is already older.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I think the quality and push of the Volo are much better than the C6...we've only used a black hood or no hood at all and it's really not too hot in Summer (the seat is so meshy that it doesn't hold heat much).

Thanks! I just ordered the volo in black. From what I am hearing, it sounds like the better choice for me.

I've owned mine for 6 years now and it's never failed to disappoint us (besides the fact that I can't 'kill' it to justify buying something new... )
