Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X
The Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X is a double version of the single Tri Mode X. The Tri Mode Duo X can handle city as well as outdoors. Compared to the basic single model, the Mode Duo X has four wheels and two identical, front-facing, side-by-side seats. Both seats can be individually and fully reclined, including the adjustable leg rests. For the smallest children, both seats come equipped with a head hugger. Each seat features a double extending EXpanda hood with two extra panels - a full and a mesh one. For the smallest children, the chassis can take one or two carrycots, soft insert carrycots Eclipse or one or two car seats with corresponding adapters.
The name of this stroller, the Tri Mode, comes from three different modes of its front wheels: locked, swiveling or swiveling in 45°, which is the setting intended when using the second, elevated Joey seat that is similar to a bike seat. The older Tri Mode versions can be recognized by smaller, clumsier hoods with just one panel and a more complicated fold accomplished in more steps.

Parent reviews of the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X
Your questions about the Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X
Do you know when this stroller will be available again? It is out of stock everywhere.
Heya, Maria,
It seems this model was discontinued by the manufacturer. It is highly improbably it will be available again - if so, only as "last pieces" in some shops. Some producers do re-start models but this is very rare. I recommend looking at pre-owned models in classifieds if you desperately need this exact one, or else, check a different double stroller.
Can you get a third seat for this pram for toddlers?
Hey, Emma,
I am sorry to disappoint you but no, it doesn't. The only way to remake this into a triple stroller is by either attaching a buggypod on the side, making it, however, considerably wide, OR by attaching a rear sibling board in the likes of a Bumprider or a Lascal Buggy Board Maxi WITH an attachable seat. This is only a solution for a third OLDER sibling.
