    Default Stroller mamas, what model Mac is this?

    Someone is selling on a local BST page but doesn't list model. Is this just a volo? I can't read the side writing. DS just turned 4 and doesn't ride often so I want to get rid of my BJCM and get a compact fold to keep in the trunk for when we do need it (zoo, random long errands). Not sure if a volo is good enough (he is 31lb and 39 inches) for occasional use or if I should try to find a compact with a few more features, bigger, ???
    Eta- removed pic but it was a color for sure.

    Looks like a volo to me! My go-to favorite stroller... And I've owned MANY including bugaboo's!

    My volo is my last one left and even though we haven't strolled in a year, i still have it.

    Couldn't beat it for size, ease, convenience, lightweight and sturdy. Loved it!!!!! IT even survived a 2 year old on a 6 year old lap quite a few times.

    its a volo. i'd go one step up and get a Triumph.

    eta: op, i think the volo is plenty big for a 4 year old. I would just prefer wheels a little bigger and the slight recline option of the triumph, especially for longer outings like the zoo.

    Thank you both.
    I know, I can't decide. It wouldn't be used frequently but when it is used it would need to be functional (zoo, museum, vacation). It's only $35 (most people around here are asking $75+ for really beat up Volos!) so it's a great deal, just not sure if it's "enough" stroller?

    It is totally "enough" stroller for your needs.

    I really hate my Volo and would get something else. It's hard to use the straps, it tips alot when there's no kid in it and the basket is tiny and hard to use when the kid is in the seat. Sounds like I should sell mine! Lol

    Wow. Sounds like a lot of love it or hate it reviews. Hmm. I had seen a stroller at the zoo that looked perfect, tall seat, tall handles, just enough features without being too much, (maybe a 3D lite??) but really want to buy used since I'm not going to use it a ton and nothing has come up. It's only $35 if still available so a good deal and I suppose I could just resell it if I hate it....

    I've never had a Mac, and the Volo never appealed to me because it is so bare-bones. But $35? I'd jump on it. You can probably resell for that price or more if you don't like it.

    Meeting her in the AM. If ds fits length wise and it's in as good shape as the pic suggests I'm getting it. Been watching CL and the only quest or triumphs I've seen have been in really bear up shape for over $100. Much as I tend to think I'll want a little more stroller I just can't beat the price and am going to make it work.

    I bought it for $30. It is a little dirty but I think it will work well for what I need.
