I am looking for a new stroller for avi. I had surgery on my wrist two weeks ago and i will need to have a splint for a few months so i am looking for something new. Avi is very active and with my hand problems i can not carry him around like i used to so i really need a new stroller.

I currently have a P3 that i LOVE but is very hard to steer with one hand IMHO. Avi is about 35 lbs and very tall, almost to the top of the stroller back. The stroller does not need to recline, if we will be out around naptime i will bring the P3. This stroller will be used in malls and on well paved sidewalks so i am not really looking for a jogger or A/T, i think it will be overkill. I also do not really care about the canopy, avi never lets the great P3 canopy go down, even in the bright sun. I would like the stroller to be fairly easy to fold, and less than 20 lbs if possible.

I was thinking about a Maclaren Volo but when i used my friends Techno the handles were a little high for me (i'm 5'4"); are the volo handles also high?

Thannks!

The best one hand steering for mall and nice sidewalk use would be the Zapp, IMO. And since you aren't wanting the recline, I think it might be perfect. The fold is a little more complicated than the Volo, but the steering will be much better, especially as your rider gets heavier.

Just my 2¢,

Volo's a little lower, I think. Has a 55 pound weight limit, too, and super easy to fold with your foot and your 'good' hand (push down the lever on the side with foot, pull up on carry strap, voila).
