I have the Valco Twin Slim and you can lay the seat all the way flat. We started using it around 2 months with my second. The Valco Twin is the same, just a bit more space. My kids are just over 2.5 and 10 months and ride in it all the time. The sun shades on it are great, too. So glad I didn’t do an inline like the Vista or Mockingbird.
We LOVE the Valco duo sport. I have some trouble breaking it down (I also don’t really try to so can’t get better without practice?) but it’s sturdy and you can tell a difference with “cheap” strollers. I opted out of the Nuna bc it’s not a 50-50 split in seat size. Valco is also okay for infants as the seat lays flat (we bought a Bumbleride infant insert when they were really little to put on the seat). It’s very easy to steer (can push with one hand, turns greats). We’ve taken it over some mild train (grass, dirt, uneven pavement or sidewalks) without issues. I also love how far the cover hangs over. Great sun protection.
Side by side, Valco makes amazing ones. All the stacked ones (Vista, mockingbird) are like trying to drive a boat, are nearly impossible to get into a car and require the smaller kid to be on the bottom which is just dumb.
Side by side. Tandems feel like trying to drive a boat and they handle like absolutely garbage. Plus your eldest will be in and out more and that is gonna be a pain cause they have to be the one closer and higher up. Valco is a fantastic side by side brand. Absolutely love mine.
I got a side by side because I tried using the single to double for like a week (Vista) and damn did that thing suck as a double. Steered like a boat, couldn't see my youngest on the bottom and had to practically dismantle the whole thing to get it in my outback. Got a Valco side by side and love that thing so much
I do all three (I watch my nephew weekdays so need to have the ability to do 3 which only that wagon manages) and if I had to pick only one with two kids I'd go double side by side stroller that you can clip a car seat into. The one I have (Valco) it's quite light weight and very easy to get in and out of the car. It's also easy to push and thin enough I can get it through most doors (it's as wide as a standard wheelchair so the ADA makes it so I can take it most places) Whatever you do don't get a top/bottom double. They all steer like shit once you've got two kids in them
Not all are sized the same. Valco is slim and I can get it through the vast majority of doorways in Boston
Honestly the Yoyo with the 0+ pack looks like it would work from birth especially since it can be used with a car seat. I used my mountain buggy nano pretty much from birth with my second if I was just me and her and going back i would have just gone single travel stroller from day one. My vista was huge and bulky and while it was kind of convenient for grocery shopping beyond that bit of a pain. I might get just that stroller and then if it's not enough get a bigger one at that point
Yep I'm using a ring adapter on a Valco with an UPPAbaby car seat and it works great
The setup is just stupid, you need to have the baby on the bottom and the toddler on top so then you can't see the baby and you've got to lift the toddler in vs them being able to get in and out on their own. If you do put the toddler on the bottom then it handles like absolute garbage cause the weight distribution is wrong. Even set up correctly it still feels like driving a boat cause it's so long It's absolutely huge. It took me a good 5 min to get it in the car each time (vs 30 seconds with my side by side) because unless you've got a pickup or SUV you'll need to pretty much disassemble it to get it in the car (and even then you need to have the seats exactly right or they run into one another) I had mine setup as a double for exactly 2 weeks before I went "f this" and got a valco
Just got a Valco and love it. I have a 3 year old and 7 month old
We are loving our ValcoBaby twin stroller! We even have a toddler and have added their bike attachment for her to ride
I have had my vista for 6 years and absolutely love it. I love the giant basket in particular. Main issue is that it feels heavy to drive in double mode. But it’s fantastic in single mode. It’s like a single pram that can be made into a double. Whereas the donkey (I bought a secondhand one when I had two kids in the pram) feels like a double pram that has a single mode. Unless you’re having twins or kids super close together I would also put the Cruz on your radar with the view to potentially get a separate side by side pram. Something I have changed since first starting parenting is getting things for a potential future we don’t yet know. We changed so many things so often (e.g moving from a house, to an apartment, to a house and then back to an apartment 😅, and also kids were further apart than I expected) I would recommend getting the best thing for *right now* and considering things like being able to convert to double mode as maybe a tie breaker when choosing between two great options. We have actually used the vista fully, we’ve had a lot of years where we were close enough to walk to the supermarket and I fully loaded that basket, to the extra length was something we used. But not necessarily something we needed considering I didn’t need to use double mode as much as I thought and I didn’t love it. We also had a valco there for a little bit and while it didn’t drive as nicely as the bugaboo, it had quite a few features I loved, like lay-flat seats and an amazing canopy. So that’s another great options that’s a bit cheaper for if you want a side by side laterx
Valcobaby is a good budget option. We got one and it’s still going strong after four years.
We did the Valco from birth (with 4lb twins). We live in a car centric suburb so the weight and foldability of the Valco took precedence over parent facing or bassinets (We didn't bother with bassinets but I know some people care) As with all stroller posts, lifestyle > everything
