Valco Baby Runabout Twin stroller reviews, questions, dimensions

The Valco Baby Runabout Twin is a sibling/twin version of the Valco Baby Runabout Tri Mode. The Runabout Twin is an all-terrain, jogging-friendly stroller suitable to handle all-terrain conditions as well as light sports.

The front-facing, softly padded AirGo ventilated seat units are spacious enough even for older children. Thanks to the full recline of the seat's backrest, the Runabout Twin can be used for smaller babies too. To provide maximum comfort of younger babies, the seat units feature a seat liner insert - soft head support and adjustable, padded safety belts. It is also compatible with an insert bassinet (carrycot) or car seat adapters to create a stroller/travel system.
