Valco Baby Snap Ultra Duo
The Valco Baby Snap Ultra Duo is a twin version of the popular Snap Ultra and comes with two reversible, full-featured seats. They are placed side-by-side, like in the Snap Duo with fixed seats. The Snap Ultra Duo was also released in the premium, denim version Snap Ultra Duo Tailormade, which is even more popular than the basic version.
For this category of strollers, the Snap Ultra Duo is sufficiently lightweight and relatively compact. With the width of 74 cm, it will fit comfortably through the ordinary 80cm doorway. You will appreciate the seats suitable from birth, as they can be reclined fully. The individual and ventilated XXXL hoods with UV protection, as well as the aprons, are included with the stroller. There is also an option to purchase other accessories, including the air-filled Sport wheels. Depending on local availability, you could add either one or two carrycots or one or two car seats to your Snap Ultra Duo.

Parent reviews of the Valco Baby Snap Ultra Duo
Your questions about the Valco Baby Snap Ultra Duo
I had a question about the dual car seats in the Valco Baby Snap Ultra Duo. In your arrivals, you write:
The adapters - you will need a double adapter set here - are made so that, yes, one capsule is slightly lower than the other so that the whole bulk of the stroller with two car seats is not insanely wide.
Are you able to advise where these can be purchased? Have twins due in May and looking at this stroller but would want the dual car seat adapters.
Hey, Keri,
The availability is varying A LOT, and in some countries, Valco Baby doesn't even supply some accessories. I personally would contact any seller / distributor / or the brand itself (their customer service) to ask about whether and where you could order that, is you canont google it anywhere around you. Next, I would go over classifieds on any larger page with those, and also browse eBay and Amazon.
E.g., I found the adapter in Europe, in Czechia for example.
Are there any car seats that fit in the Snap Ultra Duo without adapters?
Or do we have to buy adapters?
Lastly, are the car seats on the same level, or are they high/low positioning?
Many thanks.
Heya, MG,
There are no car seats that would fit the Snap Ultra Duo without adapters, I'm afraid. The pushchair is not wide enough to accommodate both side-by-side, so it would not be possible even if they tried to make some sort of attachment system on the belly bars or so.
The adapters - you will need a double adapter set here - are made so that, yes, one capsule is slightly lower than the other so that the whole bulk of the stroller with two car seats is not insanely wide (if they would be absolutely side by side here, they would, similarly to a Bugaboo Donkey, be wider than a normal 80 cm doorway is)
I am attaching a picture of what you'll be looking at with two adapters sitting on the frame 😊 The car seat fitting this setup will be most usual-looking capsules as it's just put on the adapter frame and secured by the strap.
