Valco Baby Nomad stroller reviews, questions, dimensions | pushchair experts advise @Strollberry

The Valco Baby Nomad is a three-wheeled stroller with a higher weight capacity, clean inward compact fold, compatible with a bassinet and car seat adapters to create a full stroller/travel system. The three 12" wheels add to its maneuverability even on a bit of rougher terrain. The spacious seat is forward-facing only, fully reclinable to a deep-enough lie flat. You can use your Nomad from birth, but it's best to do so with a sold-separately carrycot attachment or a car seat with Maxi-Cosi-type attachments.

A double, side-by-side version of the Nomad - the Valco Baby Nomad Duo - was also released to mirror the same functionality for twins or close-in-age siblings.
