Valco Baby Snap Ultra Sport

see 8 parent reviews

The Valco Baby Snap Ultra Sport is a lightweight urban stroller with a high weight capacity, based on the Snap Ultra. The Sport model features all-terrain wheels with air-filled tires. The Snap Ultra seat can be tilted to a lying position with an independently adjustable leg rest. The extendable, double sized extra large hood comes handy, especially during sunny days. A carrycot and/or a car seat must be purchased separately to use the stroller for babies from birth. 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.

parents say thx^^

Excellent buggy

4
  • Reversible unit
  • Large basket
  • Four-piece canopy
  • No suspension

Excellent buggy - light, compact, and that basket 😍

A nice urban stroller

4
  • reversible seat
  • weight
  • large hood
  • inflatable wheels
  • single - connected handle (compared to classic buggies)
  • large basket
  • positioning and leg supports
  • no suspension
  • difficult to raise the seat back to sitting position from the reclined position

A nice urban stroller, we are satisfied.

Nice with some flaws

4
  • Large basket
  • Reversible seat
  • Lightweight
  • 3 sitting/reclining positions
  • Non-adjustable handle
  • Child does not lie flat
  • When the child is lying down, the hood is not big enough
  • No raincoat included

Nice pram. It has some flaws, but we knew about that.

I like the long canopy

4
  • Easy to steer
  • Lightweight
  • Super long canopy
  • The original apron does not suit me - it is short, the child kicks it off

The stroller is operable with one hand, lightweight. I like the long canopy, which comes in handy in bad weather and against the big sun. The only thing that bothers me is the original apron, which is fine in the same colour of the stroller, but impractical - short. My son kicks it off.

  • Lightweight
  • Quick and easy to fold
  • Nice
  • Great canopy
  • Large basket
  • A bucket-style seat that's difficult to adjust

Lightweight, nice pushchair with a large basket. Ideal for shopping and off-road (inflatable wheels).

  • Everything about it
  • I would like a taller backrest for the older children because it would better correspond to the weight capacity

Excellent - easy to maneuver, lightweight, high weight capacity, reversible, and I don't even mind the bucket type seat - and I actually didn't want such a seat... I was against it before accidentally buying this.

I wouldn't recommend it for off-road use

4
  • Lightweight
  • Compact
  • Affordable
  • Extendable canopy
  • Good handling
  • Shopping basket holds more than it says
  • Faces both directions
  • Not suitable for terrain
  • No suspension
  • No adjustable handle
  • Narrow seat

I was very satisfied with the stroller. It was used in the city - we often used public transport and it was useful to have a light and easy to handle stroller.

I was a little bothered in the winter that the seat was narrow (because of the footmuff), but despite my son always being a big kid for his age, we managed. A big advantage is the extendable canopy - you just unzipped it and it hid him beautifully from the sun, wind and rain.

I wouldn't recommend the stroller for off-road use, though. It's not cushioned, the inflatable wheels don't help, and its lightness and slenderness means it could easily tip over on potholes.

The bucket seat probably won't impress everyone either, but we didn't have a problem with it, my son was fine in it. The advantage is riding facing both directions.

Very happy about it. Affordable price, lightweight, compact, all wheels are inflatable, great brake system. Good for the city, a village, or a meadow...
