Valco Baby Snap 4

 see 6 parent reviews

The Valco Baby Snap 4 is an ultra-lightweight four-wheel stroller with a high weight capacity. The name Snap comes from 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 foam wheels are suitable for the city; however, the air-filled tires suitable for rougher terrain are also available to purchase either separately or as a part of the version Snap 4 Sport.

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.

The Snap 4 was also released in limited editions with patterned canopies, varying through different years.

if you own(ed) it, own it ;-)
parents say thx^^

It works great, and it looks great - my DD was super happy in it

4
  • beautiful
  • practical
  • spacious enough
  • maybe only the stones in the wheel foam

We've used it for two and a half yeat. It works great, and it looks great (marl fabrics) - my DD was super happy in it. The seat was wide enough even when she's in winter clothes (34 cm). The seat could be longer (87 cm) but was actually enough all the way through the toddlerhood.

I cannot really criticize anything

5
  • Extended hood
  • Wide seat
  • Lightweight
  • Non-adjustable handlebar
  • The basket scratches easily and the access there is difficult

We own a Valco Snap from March 2017, and I use it with my son on a daily basis from his 4m to 2.5y - and we were very happy with it. He liked to sit in it, liked to nap in it, no visible marks of aging - the stroller is like new.

I cannot really criticize anything. Now we're having a daughter, and I am planning to use it again.

I would not change it for any other!

4
  • No squeaking
  • Lightweight
  • Easy to fold
  • Practical
  • Takes up only a little space
  • Can be used for naps even for a 3yo
  • I found no cons

The best pushchair I had! I would not change it for any other!

Lightweight and compact

5
  • easy to push
  • lightweight chassis
  • 44lbs/20kg weight capacity
  • easy fold
  • wheels could have some form of suspension, but it doesn't matter that much

A very good stroller. Lightweight and compact.

Compact and quite spacious

4
  • Simple fold
  • Backrest and leg rest adjustment
  • Long hood
  • The hood gets dirty when you fold the stroller - because of the wheels touching it

Compact and quite spacious. A minus is the wheels dirtying up the hood when you fold it.

Very happy with this pushchair
