Volo 2007 or Silver Cross Micro?

[bnsilfin]

I'm in the market for a very lightweight umbrella stroller and am wondering which of these two to get? Also, does anyone know how the 2007 Volo will differ from the 2006? Many thanks.

I kick myself every day for getting a Silver Cross Micro instead of a Volo. Yes, mine was the original model (the ones out now are v2), but honestly, I would have rather had the Volo for a few bucks more than deal with the wheel issues on my Micro.

You could also check out the Zooper Salsa, Joy reviewed it here:

I don't own one, but I've seen them IRL. If you have a girl, the 2006 pink is adorable. I'd get the Salsa over a Micro. I think the Volo might still be my first choice, but its a harder decision between the Volo & the Salsa than it is between the Volo and the Micro, KWIM?

I don't know the answer to your question about changes in the 2007 Volo, but it's unlikely to change much -- I think the stroller has pretty much stayed the same for a while now (Maclaren started including the hood, but that's about it). There are good deals to be had on the 2006s, and they may get better when the 2007s come out. I scooped up a 2006 recently for $86 shipped, then got $7.20 back via ebates on top of that, making the "final" price $78 and change! (Target had and still has some colors on sale for $89, was offering free shipping at the time, plus I used a 10 percent off coupon. Ebates was doing double cash back on Target that day too.)

I just checked Target's site, and the free shipping offer seems to be gone. But some colors (pink and turquoise, I think) are still priced at $89 at Amazon, which offers free shipping on orders over $25 if you're buying from Amazon and not one of their third party vendors.

Volo, Volo, Volo. It is my favorite stroller (although mine's a 2004).
