Valco Baby Runabout TriMode

Does anyone know of or even have one of these strollers? We would be interested to ship one over from the States if the reviews were good.

Review here

I was about to say 'So, how's it better than the Urban Detour / Jané Slalom / Bebecar Racer etc', then I spotted the toddler seat option which would be a huge plus with two kids.

Worth doing a price comparison with the Phil & Ted's E3 plus second-child conversion kit though as E3s seem universally loved and are much easier to get hold of in the UK.

Two salient questions though: Have you a really big boot and/or do you do lots of offroad walking or jogging? If no to either it might be worth rethinking the whole 3-wheeler thing...

Well spotted MrsBadger .
The toddler seat addition is the only reason why we're considering this pushchair for when our second baby comes along in a few months time. It's either this or the new sport E3, unless the E3 aluminium version is rolled out in the meantime, which I?m sure will be far too highly priced for my liking . However, I have some issues with the E3. One of which is that the child in the back sits far too low (almost touching the ground) and too tucked away. At least with this one the additional seat goes on the front, which makes it a normal height seat, so the little one at the back can get sufficient amount of air and (later) view. I also find the E3 too narrow which, for smaller ladies like myself, makes it rather hard to manoeuvre when the majority of the weight (with the older child sitting there) is concentrated at the front.

So, any american/australian ladies/gents out there who use this pushchair with a toddler seat attached?

Oh, and many thanks for the link !
