Valco Baby Snap 4 Sport

see 27 parent reviews

The Valco Baby Snap 4 Sport is an ultra-lightweight four-wheel stroller with a high weight capacity based on the basic Snap. The Sport model also features all-terrain wheels with air-filled tires that make it higher by 1 cm, longer by 2 cm and heavier by 1.4kg compared to the basic model. It is called the Snap because of the quick, inward fold. Although the models intended for the western market can be released by pushing the button, hence folded by one hand, the eastern have to be released by lifting and holding the locking latch.

The fabric on the non-reversible seat is easy to look after. You can purchase the colorful hoods to add to the basic black seat to make the desired color combination. The grey version, as well as the premium version called Tailormade, features color-coordinated seat fabric and the hood. The backrest can be reclined sufficiently even for smaller babies. Since 2015, the Snap 3 features an adjustable leg rest. The carrycot and the adapters for the car seat are also available to provide comfort for newborns. There is also an option to use the Valco newborn insert instead of the carrycot.

parents say thx^^

It's a heart thing for me

4
  • vaha
  • controllability
  • spacious
  • very compact
  • choice of materials and colours
  • inflatable wheels - partial suspension
  • worse basket access when the child is napping (reclined)

It's a heart thing for me. Easy to handle, spacious seat, foldable, lightweight. Large number of accessories. Extendable canopy, good protection. If I get tired of the color of the canopy, it is not a problem to buy another original from the manufacturer or have it custom made according to your imagination. The whole stroller fabric can be removed and washed in the washing machine.

Super light, compact

  • Lightweight
  • Compact
  • Large canopy
  • Easy to use
  • Bad access to basket

Super light, compact stroller.

That stowability

4
  • Great handling
  • Folds great
  • Nice to turn
  • Great
  • Comfortable
  • Sturdy
  • The canopy cover is hard to wash and becomes see-through over time
  • When folding, the wheels touch the canopy and this makes it dirty, so I put a piece of paper in there or take the back wheels off

The best pushchair! Especially the stowability!!!

👍

4
  • Compact
  • Lightweight
  • Spacious
  • Folds seat inward
  • Spacious basket
  • Three-piece canopy
  • Option of many other accessories
  • Affordable price/quality
  • Option to buy a tray to put in front of the child
  • No suspensions (this is a kind of better buggy

👍

It fulfilled absolutely everything

4
  • compact
  • easy to use
  • lightweight
  • spacious
  • large canopy
  • for the time of use for our needs has no disadvantages

It fulfilled absolutely everything we expected from it.

  • Compact
  • Easy to drive
  • Wide and long enough
  • Possibility of laying the child down completely
  • Inflatable wheels
  • Spacious basket
  • Folding the stroller is very easy

I am very happy with the stroller. We were looking for something compact to transport and at the same time comfortable for the baby, and the stroller completely meets this.

Can handle even moderate terrain.

4
  • Weight
  • Controllability
  • Compatibility
  • Practicality
  • Could be a little more cushioned
  • When folding, there must be nothing down in the basket and the footrest must always be folded down, but it's the price to pay for the fact that it can be folded so flat :)

Comfortable LIGHT stroller that can handle even moderate terrain.

The most top stroller I've ever had

4
  • Lightweight stroller, easy to handle - I can carry it up to the 4th floor by myself
  • Lightweight, suitable for smaller cars
  • Large and accessible basket
  • Tailormade version has a waterproof hood
  • Folds easily with one hand

For me the most top stroller I've ever had 😊

  • Light
  • Foldable
  • Relatively large (3yo rides in it and he's not exactly small)
  • Quite stable
  • Handles lighter terrain (forest, field) quite well
  • Handles well with one hand
  • In the reclined position, the child has a ventilation mesh behind his head, which is very nice in the summer
  • The five-point harness can only be fastened also as a three-point belt
  • Can basically be reclined into a full lie flat
  • Worse stability (e.g. when travelling through sharp turns in the bus) when a bag is added to the handle
  • Harder to access basket in the reclined position
  • The ventilation mesh can be covered (with Velcro), but it seems to me that the wind still blows in a bit

A very good stroller, I am very satisfied (I have it for about 2 years) and I would not change it. The priority for me was weight/stability in moderate terrain and here it stands up well.

I'm honestly thrilled with it

5
  • Lightweight
  • Compact
  • Practical
  • Large enough basket
  • Can be washed in its entirety
  • Full lie-flat position
  • With inflatable wheels, it can be pushed over anything
  • No adjusting of the handle height

The stroller is really great. I'm not afraid to ride over whatever with it, it seems to survive everything and every terrain. The little one is not bumped over in it and he likes it very much.

The Tailormade version looks very nice and tasteful, so the look is great too. I also appreciate the lightness, the practicality and how the stroller is compact.

The only thing that could be added to it would be an adjustable handle height, and the handle could also be wider. For me it's ok though, I'm 158cm and I think it's still a bit better for taller people. I bought it mainly because of the inflatable wheels option and the window in the canopy, which none of my previous strollers had. I just need to see my little one. Plus, if I open the canopy completely, I can see all of him. I'm honestly thrilled with it.
