Valco Baby - Snap Duo Trend

I recommend a side-by-side stroller. Inline strollers like the one you have pictured, tend to be difficult to steer because the weight of one child is directly over the front wheels. I have the Valco Baby Trend Duo and I LOVE it! You can buy car seat adapters and a bassinet. I personally never used either as the seats lay back flat, so I just used the newborn insert they sell on their website and strapped my baby in. My toddler loved getting to sit next to their sibling! My friend traded her mockingbird single-to-double for a Zoey twin and is much happier.

I have found that side-by-sides are not nearly as large as people expect them to be. The Joie Chive double stroller is 25.5 inches wide. My Valco Baby is 29 inches wide, so its only 3.5 inches wider.

Inline strollers like the Mockingbird tend to be difficult to steer because the weight of one child, usually the older child, is directly over the front wheels. I recommend looking into side-by-side strollers. I have a Valco Baby Trend Duo and love it! I also know people with the Zoe Twin who love it!

We love this one too! It’s one of the lighter options as well

Came to recommend this one too! Love it for my kiddos

A 5.5 yr and 4 yr old with one more on the way. - City Select with 2 seats is my full stroller/all terrain - Thule Chariot 2 bike stroller/also a hiking stroller - Valco Duo Snap for side by side stroller - GB pockit that's a bit wonky so lives at grandparents as a spare - Babyzen Yoyo got as second hand travel stroller I am planning to use mainly for my new one - All purpose wagon that never intended to be a stroller but they all pile in

ton enfant va marcher mais pas très vite et surtout pas longtemps et il fera encore des siestes. Pense à ton dos et achète une nouvelle poussette, elle te servira minimum jusqu’au 3 ans de ton enfant. Pas la peine de se ruiner, on peut trouver des trucs très bien sur le bon coin. Si jamais tu trouves je peux conseiller la marque Valco Baby, pliable, léger, maniable (mais c’est une poussette confort, pas une yoyo).

side by side hands down, i hate stacked strollers tbh i have a valco duo and love it

Valco baby trend duo. I hated the uppbaby vista, too heavy

For your usage, please check out the Valco Baby trend duo! Lighter than the Baby Jogger and easier to maneuver in every way (including loading in/out of car if you’re solo) I live in an old historic city with horribly uneven side walks and I cannot recommend this stroller enough. I did a ton of research too. And if you walk a lot on uneven / nature walk type terrain, you can get the air tire package or the full sport edition.

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

When traveling we bring our Cosco scenera (super lightweight!) and valco snap trend stroller (this is our regular stroller). We put the foot rest on the stroller all the way up and it actually goes past parallel so it makes a shelf that leans the car seat back into the stroller. We have used a luggage strap to attach it to the stroller in the past but I find it stays put just fine. Obviously ymmv but it works great for us!

Valco snap - one hand all in one fold, lightweight, can upgrade the tyres for off-road. I LOVE mine. Affordable, easy, good quality. Can highly recommend

I started with a tandem that I used with car seat adapters. It was great for that purpose- basically a fancy frame stroller! Unfold the frame, pop both car seats in, and go. Aaaaand less than a week after my twins graduated from infant car seats to convertible car seats, I went and purchased a side by side stroller (Valco snap duo trend). It turned out that the process of using the tandem stroller with the actual stroller seats was a huge pain for me. In double mode, both seats had to be removed to fold the stroller. So loading the car meant removing both seats and folding the frame, unloading involved unfolding the frame and clicking both seats in then unbuckling the babies from the car and buckling them into the stroller. It felt like such a long, tedious process and I hated it. So I went with a relatively lightweight stroller with a one piece/one step fold and I have LOVED it. A side by side is easier to push and mine is only like 3” wider than a vista or other tandem (because the frame is basically under the seats and adds no width, rather than being outside/next to the seats making it wider). Also noting that I skipped the donkey because it’s heavy and wouldn’t have met my one piece/one step fold requirement (I used it as a nanny and loved it for the walkable city we were in, but avoided putting it into a car at all costs lol). Otherwise it’s a really nice stroller!

For the first year, a used Uppababy vista with adapters for two car seats, making it essentially a frame stroller (skip Uppababy car seats, the strollers are nice but the car seats suck) After the infant car seats were outgrown, a lightweight side by side double with a simple, one step/one piece fold (Valco snap duo trend). Turns out removing both stroller seats to fold the vista frame was not my cup of tea and I liked the side by side WAY better - it also felt like a big time/convenience saver not to have multiple folding/unfolding steps with each load/unload from the car So in hindsight I wish I’d spent less time searching for my ideal color and condition of Vista, seeing as we used the pretty gray stroller seats for about a week before I impulsively, angrily upgraded to the Valco lol

What’s your price range? The Uppababy Minu Duo is probably my favorite Uppababy product and their best executed stroller imo. I have a Valco Snap Duo Trend that I looooove - same situation as you, I was sick of my modular stroller and wanted a side by side that was lightweight, one piece/one step fold and long lasting for tall/heavy kids since one of my twins is disabled. 5 years ago the Snap Duo Trend was the best cross between full size/full features for heavy daily use while still being relatively light for a double. It was our workhorse for years until we finally dropped to one regular stroller rider about a year and a half ago. The Joie side by side double is solid for the price. Some people love Zoe strollers but they’re not my personal favorite - I just prefer something heavier duty. And if you need *really* heavy duty, Baby Jogger has lots of great products and the Bumbleride Indie Twin is a workhorse too. If you’re willing to wait for Black Friday and/or shop around the used stroller markets (Facebook, Mercari, GoodBuyGear etc) you could get a good deal on something relatively fancy!
