Valco Baby Spark
The Valco Baby Spark is a stroller with the same chassis as the popular Zee. Compared to the Zee, the Baby Spark comes with a new, 2in1 Transforma seat that can be converted into a carrycot. The bucket-type seat unit can be reclined in both directions, but in seat form, it is suitable for children older than six months. The Spark comes with an apron included and features soft, breathable AirGo fabrics. The carrycot is equipped with a soft mattress and a washable liner to provide maximum comfort for the baby and the mom.
The lightweight chassis is agile in narrow city streets. Thanks to the air-filled rear wheels with suspension, the Spark can occasionally handle a lawn or an uneven surface. You can fold the chassis even with the seat still attached. Once folded, the chassis will lock itself automatically to prevent unfolding. The stroller also features a spacious shopping basket with opening sides as well as the back part. A safety strap can be found on the rotating handlebar. The older models of the Spark can be recognized by the handlebar that cannot be adjusted.

Parent reviews of the Valco Baby Spark
Your questions about the Valco Baby Spark
Where can I buy a Valco Spark 3 in 1 stroller?
Hey, Jana,
If no shop around you sells it as a clearance article, probably nowhere (OR - in Australia, as Valco Baby is an Australian brand, so there, the choice is actually wider than anywhere else - at least in classifieds. That is where I will suggest you look first as this model is already discontinued so almost impossible to get new. I am sorry.
