Valco Baby Slim Twin
.eli
The Valco Baby Slim Twin (on some markets also released as the Valco Baby Neo Twin in 2020) is a sibling/twin version boasting an ultra-narrow frame that will fit anywhere with ease. Only 66 cm wide, the Slim Twin chassis features two world-facing seats with a long seat surface and a tall backrest that you can recline one-handedly up to a lie-flat. For the smallest babies, the leg rests have an integrated newborn apron that will create a cozy, protective space similar to a bassinet. For babies from birth, a travel system with one or two car seats can be created using adapters.
The difference between the SlimTwin and the Snap Duo are the front wheels that are double on the Snap Duo but single on the Slim Twin. Seat-size and front-wheels-wise, the Slim Twin is closer to the Valco Baby Snap Duo Trend, but the Slim Twin differs from the Snap Duo Trend in both width and fewer luxury elements (the Slim Twin only sports a foam handle and more basic textiles).
As there is no suspension on the wheels, the Slim Twin stroller is best used for less demanding city walks. This double pushchair can be folded very quickly, with the seats folding inwards, so they don't get dirty in the car.

Parent reviews of the Valco Baby Slim Twin
- narrow
- light
- compact
- one-hand fold
- nimble
- tall seat back
- no suspension
- foam handle narrow seats
- canopies can get dirty when the stroller is folded
- not for chubbier toddlers (or toddler in winter clothing)
The stroller is nice and nimble, and it truly fits everywhere. It is also compact enough, even boing a double stroller. You need to count on the seats being quite narrow, so a wider toddler or a toddler in fluffy winter clothes might be very tight inside. I recommend this rather as a twin stroller for a city mumsie.
