a wonderful stroller July 20, 2006

I bought this stroller shortly after my son was born and we have enjoyed several months of using it. The stroller is very high quality. It is very plush and comfortable. It is extremely well engineered. With its tight turning radius it is very easy to maneuver around small spaces. It handles very well on rough surfaces -- my son will sleep through any terrain in this stroller!

Runabout Stroller - Harlequin Black
I bought this stroller after we TRIED to take our Peg Perego through a early spring muddy path, and ended up stuck in the mud. After that disaster, we decided we needed a rugged, all-terrain type stroller. The Valco Runabout fits the bill perfectly. It is not a true jogger, nor is it a mall stroller, but it sure is able to handle a woodsy path with uneven terrain very well! We have tested this stroller "off roading", and it has performed flawlessly in our walks through a local metrooark, where we are often seen going "off the beaten track". I give it high marks for being able to handle all but the roughest of terrain.
There are so many nice features to this stroller. I especially like the adjustable handle, and the switchable front wheel. To be able to switch between free swivel, 45 degree swivel, and fixed wheel is a very nice feature.
I like the reflective thread used throughout the stroller, so the stroller can be easily seen at dusk or dawn.
The basket and side bags are roomy enough to hold a UV sun canopy (an optional accessory) and the rain shield. There is no cup holder, but we have been using the Sunshine Kids Buggy Buddy on this stroller and it works perfectly!
I also purchased the toddler seat (optional accessory), and so far, DGS likes it when given the opportunity to ride up front. The seat attaches very easily to the stroller, and fills the bill for an occasional double stroller quite nicely. I would not recommended this stroller for a full-time double stroller. If you are looking for a true double, I would purchase the twin version of this stroller, or look at other options.
All in all, we are very pleased with our Valco Runabout Tri-Mode Stroller in Harlequin Black. This one steers like a dream, and is able to handle the roughest of terrain. It is a great choice if you don't want or need a full time jogging stroller.
