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.
