Valco Baby

To boldly go where no-one has gone before. Welcome to the Next Generation!

I love this glider, I've had it for 5 years and 3 babies and it's still going strong. The stain resistant coat is pretty effective as I have a light… Read more

grey coloured recliner and it still looks pretty clean. No odd squeaking or noises, and all functions for the chair and ottoman work beautifully still. It is a wonderful chair. When I've travelled with breastfeeding babies I've always ended up with back pain trying to nurse without my glider, so I think that speaks volumes to the comfort and support it gives.

My top tips are to buy and assemble it way before baby is born. I think a bunch of the complaints about assembly are likely due to sleep deprived parents struggling with it, assembling it while pregnant was less stressful although it was definitely a 2 person job.

Amazing double pram! – Highly recommend this pram, very light and easy to use. I use it multiple times every day and very happy with how convenient it is. My twins fit… Read more

comfortably in it, and it folds very easily and compact. It is thinner than some of the prams I have seen, so there’s never an issue getting through doors or on buses! My twins have just turned one and there is still a tonne of room to grow. Also, the price is incredible! If you are thinking about buying this pram, you definitely should! :)

This pram is fantastic. I bought it second hand, hoping that it would suit my needs. Toddler (2.5) and baby (8 months). It’s perfectly functional… Read more

has such a light steer compared to a front/back double. Considerably lighter than most double prams I’ve used and all in one piece! The size (width) of the seats has not appeared to be an issue with being too small yet. Both kids seem comfortable when in their respective seats.

Good things: - good, light steering - wheel base is so short, it’s basically a single pram - UV covers are well reaching and independent for each seat (extensions available) - breathing holes both at the back and top of the covers for sleeping babies + easy to do one handed or while walking - foot rests can be personalised for each age child - beautifully covered belly bar and handlebar - one handed fold and so light!!! - big wheels mean that it’s able to be used on versatile surfaces and still provide comfort for the kids

Improvements: - size of the basket is amazing, but it’s hard to get full use of it because of the tiny entry point or if the seats are reclined cannot access from the front - no included easy-to-reach pockets at the rear of the pram for phones, etc for the adult - suspension is lacking, but the ride still appears to be comfortable

Absolutely amazing pram. We have twins and they love it. The seats can be forward or backwards facing, depending on their mood. The extra large hood… Read more

cover and adjustable foot rests means they can sleep really peacefully in the pram, sit for long periods, eat snacks using the snack attachment and enjoy the world around them. The basket is huge and fits so much and it is so sturdy that it doesn't move when locked. I attach a huge twin backpack to it and it doesn't change the balance. The sports tires make it really comfortable for the babies and for me to move around. We have 2 cup holders easily attached and it still folds easily. The best part is how light it is and how easily you can change the configuration. Its also very easily to pull apart and clean and the seats are machine washable. On top of all of this, the team at Valco and most especially Glen, are so helpful. We had an issue with latch and the balance and Glen came out to our house, at a time that was convenient to us, and fixed everything. They don't make you send 1000 pictures and explain over and over the problem. They come and see it and bring all the necessary parts to fix it, at no cost to us. Honestly, I am so lucky and glad we bought a Valco baby pram. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for your time, energy and attention to detail Glen and for making sure our babies are happy and safe in their Valco ride!!!

Handy and durable but the metal bars need cushion on it – I got the change table as a second hand gifted by friend who purchased in babybunting and it has served 3 babies for 6 years so far, still working… Read more

well and sturdy with some fading on the cover. A bit wobbly when my toddler moving on it but won't tip or collapse. But I guess no change table would be available to tolerate a child's torture. The only thing I am not happy with is the bars have no cushion on it. Since my children started rolling and no longer be quite when having nappies change, they have hit the head on the bars many many times.

Not as good as first thought – It does fold compact Which is great however its pluses stop there. Baby slides a considerable way down then making the harness around the shoulders… Read more

unsafe. They gather around his neck!

The shoulder harness padding comes off for machine wash. The cover can come off once folded. However it cannot be machine washed. Why?? There should be zips to take the plastic boards out so it can be machine washed.

Never mind about the hood i cannot figure for the life of me how ro get this off to wash.

I certainly wouldn’t recommend this product and i wish i had brought the other folding rocker.

It also doesn’t rock that well either.

Excellent Pram, highly recommend! – We are very happy with this purchase, going extremely well even after years of heavy use. We have taken this pram everywhere from the shopping… Read more

centres to the beaches and never had any issues. We thought that it will be too wide to maneuver, but it was able to fit through standard doors with no issues.

I really love this pram. It fits both my 2 and 4 year old comfortably and I can squeeze it through pretty narrow spaces given it’s a double! The… Read more

basket at the bottom is quite roomy and I love the fold, it’s easy to get in and out of car. My favourite part is the olive green colour! Feel like it suits my whole personality!!

This pram is amazing. We use it when we don’t want to take our big pram, yet it can do everything the big pram does. We have used it for big walks, around wildlife parks, shops and more

This product was great for my first baby, however, with my second it has collapsed twice. The first time I was putting him in and his bum barely… Read more

touched the seat when it collapsed, luckily I was still supporting his weight. I assumed it was user error and the mechanism hadn’t locked in. I have since been very careful about testing it before I put him in and stupidly kept using it. Today it collapsed after he’d been in it for 5 minutes and my 12 week old baby fell onto his back on the tiles. We are now monitoring for signs of concussion. After seeing the other reviews stating the mechanism failed I would NEVER buy this product again.

I love it! – I love this valco stroller caddy as much as I love my quad x pram. They are just both awesome! The caddy has space for 2 water bottles, and another… Read more

middle section plus the mess bag. I love that it has room for my and my daughters drink bottles, my purse, phone and keys plus the mess bag for toys, hats etc. it is just so well designed DVD after looking around at other caddys I have found any that come close.

Good – GREAT! Only a few negatives being the shoulder strap obstruction and the boring toys that didn't last (ripped off). The adjustable height position,… Read more

the sunshade for an outdoors option, the toy bar (although the toys ripped off mine) and the padding/ overall comfort. The folding away of it is also great - folds flat. The carry handles are handy for moving it around the house/outside. The shoulder straps were right where my baby's head was so I had to lay a towel down.

Excellent – The best bath on the market, tried the Fisher Price Ocean Wonders but it did not have the stand causing me terrible backake. The best bath on the… Read more

market it is super stable bath and stand. There is nothing else in the market that compare to it the stand supports the bath at both ends as opposed to the sides - therefore no worries to bath my baby in it. The bath looks good too, matching all my bathroom stainless steel.

Excellent – We bought this to go on our pram when my first child was born. We used it on the pram for the 1st 3 months before swithing to the regular pram… Read more

setup. We used this for his day and night sleeps for the 1st 6 months until he grew out of it and then moved into the cot. The best thing about this for me was that we lived in a 2 storey house so we would bring the basinette downstairs during the day and I could move him around the house with me. The stand on wheels was also beneficial as you could gently move it back and forwards to help settle the baby to sleep. Stand with wheels allows you to move it around the house

Long and wide so babies wont grow out of it too quickly

Wheels allow you to help settle the baby by gently pusing the basinette. Sunshade was hard to click into place upright

Don't touch it – On our third in 7 months. 1st had a loud squeak that couldn't get rid of. They replaced it. The 2nd one completely collapsed with my daughter and I… Read more

hitting the ground very hard. Very dangerous. The company didn't know why it completely collapsed. They replaced it again. I'm going to buy another brand as I have no trust in Valco. Was told it's the best and also most expensive but quality is a disgrace.

OK – found this item suitable when child small but no good for 18 - 24 months easy to take anywhere, easy to attatch, baby friendly as child gets bigger isn't very sturdy

Dangerous! – If pulled on while in the bed the rail starts sliding out and folding. At the hinge on the outside of the bed a child could easily have their fingers cut off if they put them in the hinge. I am surprised this can be sold for use by children!  Show details

Good purchase – I preferred this glider chair and ottoman set to others as it has more lower back support. The chair itself is comfortable. Side pockets are… Read more

convenient.

The only issue I have with this chair is that it has developed a squeak that I can't locate. It seems to however bother me more than the baby!
