Great twin stroller - and cheaper than MBUD!, June 11, 2005

Pros: Very plush, full recline, easy, easy to push
Cons: Hard to move when folded, canopy isn't great

I got this stroller after returning my E3v2. It was a toss up between the Valco and the Mountain Buggy. I couldn't justify the additional $100 for the MBUD - especially when the Valco seemed more plush for a newborn.

It takes some getting used to the first few times you take it out - especially how much bigger it seems than a single. The stroller pushes like a dream. My kids both love it. It's got lots of pockets, comes with its own air pump (a COMPLETE lifesaver!), and the wheels pop on an off easily.

The canopy is somewhat useless and the sun mesh cover that comes with it is quite hot. I bought a Protect-a-Bub canopy and it solved the problem.

The baskets are near impossible to reach (unless you get down on the floor) if the seats are reclined. And there's no cup holder for Mom.

The stroller folds quite easily, although it's awkward to lift when folded. I've whacked my ankle a couple times.

By and large, it's a fabulous stroller. I love that it pushes so easily. We took it to a county fair and while all the other strollers couldn't navigate the dirt and rock walks, I was able to do it one handed.

Valco Customer Service is nothing short of amazing should you ever run into problems. That can't be said for A LOT of manufacturers.
