I am trying to decide between two umbrella strollers for airport/travel: Maclaren Volo coffee and the Chicco Liteway. Is it wildly inconvenient to have a non-reclining stroller? Would anyone mind weighing in on likes/dislikes if you own either?
Thanks for any feedback!
Re: Maclaren Volo vs. Chicco Liteway
We have the Chicco Liteway and love it! I especially love that it has a basket so that I don't have to worry about carrying the diaper bag, too. The reclining feature wasn't a big sell for me because I knew he'd be older when we used it, but if you have a younger baby it would definitely be nice.
I can't compare the maclaren, though.

We have the Chicco Liteway and I really like it. It was a bit of an impulse purchase last summer when we were going on a family vacation (flying) and I needed something light weight for our little guy. It works great, no complaints. Re: the reclining... it isn't that important to me. My kids so far haven't been stroller nappers so I don't think I'd use it. I hardly used the reclining feature in my Chicco travel system stroller and I hardly use it in my BOB. Also the sun canopy is decent size on the Liteway so that is nice.
I have no experience with Maclarens...
I too love my Chicco Liteway. It is so much easier to use then the travel system. I do recline DD at times. We live by a beach and it is wonderful to use on the boardwalk with all the crowds
