I am needing a new stroller for my little girl. She is 38 1/2 inches tall and weighs 30 pounds. She needs a stroller to ride in at the mall and at amusement parks. She is still too young to be able to walk the entire time. The umbrella stroller I have she looks very uncomftable in she is too tall the canopy part touches her head and her legs look scrounched up. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good stroller for a taller child? I looked online at Babies-R-Us and found a couple that looked like they might be bigger umbrella type strollers. The Maclaren brand - know anything about it or where I could get a really good deal???

Comments about Maclaren Volo Stroller- Green Stripe:
Bought this for theme park use as the rental strollers never seem comfortable for my munchkin when she falls asleep and wanted seomthing lightweight that I could carry from car to tram. WE have season passes so go several times a month. This is the best investment I have bought lately. This stroller turns on a dime, is so easy to push, comfortable for her to sit and nap in (she's 34lbs and 41-1/2" tall), tall handles so it's comfortable for both myself 5-1/2" and my husband 6'1", and the color ensures it never gets lost in that sea of strollers parked outside of attractions. My only complaints are the size of the basket. Although it will fit her blankie and a travel bag, it won't hold much else. Another complaint is the lack of cup holders but we bought two from Babies R Us (the prince lionheart ones) and they work perfectly and do not interfere with the closing of the stroller. Overall, very glad to part with the money for a product that does the job (near) perfectly.
THANKS! :D
