Valco Baby Snap Duo LX stroller reviews, questions, dimensions

The Valco Baby Snap Duo LX is a sibling/twin version of the well-known Snap and a differently named Valco Snap Duo stroller model that is meant for the Australian and US market. The Snap Duo LX is suitable for twins or siblings with a small age gap. The Snap Duo is ultra-lightweight yet stable enough due to the double front wheels. As there is no suspension on the wheels, the stroller is best used for less demanding city walks. Like the other Snap models, you can fold the Snap Duo very quickly, with the seats folding inwards so they don't get dirty in the car.

The fabric on the non-reversible seats is easy to look after. You can purchase the colorful hoods to add to the basic black seats to make the desired color combination. The premium Tailormade version features color-coordinated seat fabric and the hood. The backrests and leg rests can be individually adjusted, suitable even for smaller babies. Optional newborn safety aprons are also available. In order to maximize the comfort of the babies from birth, you can add up to two carrycots or use the newborn inserts instead. Using corresponding adapters, one car seat can be added to the chassis.
