Valco Tri Mode Classic EX

Good quality pram, sturdy – Bought this pram back in 2009 on the recommendation of store assistant. I loved the bassinet attachment option which was fantastic when travelling as we did not need to take a port-a-cot as well. If I ever had issues getting my daughter to sleep we would go for a walk and just leave her asleep in it when we got home. The attachment was very… Read more

sturdy and straight. In fact the whole pram is super sturdy, especially for a three wheeler. I was never worried about it tipping. Great all terrain pram. Never had an issue on the farm with gravel or sand.

Has a very smooth, slight bounce to the ride that was very soothing to our daughter. Great quality, nothing has broken and still going strong three years later. I love the expandable hood - it has fantastic coverage, best I have seen and it zips up so it looks nice and tidy when you don't need to use it.

Would I buy it again? Probably not with the options available in today's market, it's fantastic as a jogger but its heavy and bulky. You need a big boot to fit this pram in. The recline straps are fiddly, and mostly I'd prefer a reversible seat! Other then that I am pretty happy overall. Good quality, nice smooth ride, expandable hood Bulky, heavy. Fiddly recline.

Big and heavy – I bought this pram as it would fit a capsule and make a travel system. Since then a lot of prams have come out with travel systems that are lighter, easier to fold and a bit more stylish. I also bought it because I walk a lot and often on uneven ground and so a 3 wheeler would be better.The front wheel seems to have a mind of it own at times. It… Read more

does feel very sturdy and it was terrific with the capsule clipped in to get my baby to sleep. I also got the Valco Bassinet, and stand and used this for 3 months as my baby's bed. I only clipped the bassinet into the pram a few times, but used the capsule with it daily.

The sun shade looks large but doesn't seem to keep the sun off ???

I bought it second hand locally and the lady I bought if from nearly cried when I took it as she loved it so much! Complete travel system with capsule and bassinet Heavy and large when folded

I'm sure I could have found a better pram – The cons outweigh the pros. Would buy a different pram if I had my time again. I also find the steering a bit all over the place. For taller people like my DP he kicks the brake area when he walks. Finds it quite annoying. See description below for more pros and cons. Love the attachment so car capsule just clips on. Lovely big shade hood. Comes… Read more

with pram liner. Very heavy. still large when folded. very wide. Material above child's head when in the sitting position is ridiculous. it is bulky and pushes their head forward being very uncomfortable. only became an issue as baby got older. didn't realise at first. My baby is now 8mths old and it is a pain.

Great strong and sturdy pram – I purchased this pram just before my second baby was born It was strong sturdy I found the pram to be a little heavy and bulky when folding it into my car boot . this pram is great for long walks as it stears great. I find the space under the pram hard to get to when reclined fully and not always that smooth when reclining The sun shade is… Read more

great as it extends a far way Sturdy, great steering, great value for money Little heavy and bulky when putting in boot, hard to get to basket under pram when reclined

Overall can't complain – I bought this pram for everyday use when I was pregnant. I have been using it now for 4.5mths and have found the steering really great, it is very sturdy and I really like to the look of the pram - it has good storage but no standard cup holder :( I am pleased with the extra extendible hood but have to invest in the sun shade. Access to the basket… Read more

underneath is very restricted when the pram is reclined, the recline doesn't always work smoothly for me and most frustrating is trying to wrestle the pram into the boot... but it is very study and easy to steer so I suppose something has gotta give. I love the adjustable handle too - suits dad and I. Steers well, looks good, extendible hood great, all terrain Difficult to collapse - easy with a 4wd not so much with a suzuki swift

Its Great – This is a really good pram, very strong and sturdy and steers really well, and easy to monover, great pram for comfort, love it! Good Priced for a fantastic pram, Bit on the heavy side and need a fair bit of room

Good – I love it- admittedly I do not have anything else to compare it too- but researched and looked around heaps before we took the deal and brought this one. Have had many comments on the hood- that alone has been worth it- great for sun and while she is sleeping can keep her 'covered'. Have yet to try with toddler seat attachment but for one child… Read more

its fabulous. If you are active, like to go off road and want a sturdy pram I think this is great choice. So much to love- so easy to steer, great turning circle, huge hood is fabulous for keeping sun off- no need to lay muslin wraps over like you see so many other prams having to do. The recline function is fabulous- can be done one handed and seemless so bub does not wake up when laid back. The zip in mozzie/uv protector is great keeps away pesky mozzies. Great big basket underneath, the pneumatic wheels make it great for off road. I take it running and handles it well, glides along. Easy to fold down and very easy to put up. I think like most 3 wheelers it is a bit bulky when folded- but fine in the back of our 4wd. It is wide, but have found it so easy to steer even in tight spaces as it turns on itself. It is also quite heavy- but my theory is I am not out to carry it around, so having it sturdy and wide is my preference. Mine is only 9 months old, and it does seem the material is already fading which is a shame. Also it was a bit pricey, but got a deal where it came with the bassinette that made it worth it. I wish they had made the basket underneath able to pull out or something as when child in full recline so hard to get to- but great for carrying shopping (if you can get it in)

Excellent – As a single pram this one is seccond to none! My 1st bub was prem and used the Bassinett attachment and was in it for 5-6 months. The pram is very sturdy and never looked like tipping over. If I knew I was have babies to close together I would have gotten this in the double version no questions asked. Everything, this is a great pram. Great… Read more

additions like Bassinatt, sun cover, drink holder. Great wide seat for bub. Very easy to steer, great pump up tyres, adjustable handle height, large shopping basket!! The only problem with this pram is that it can not hold two toddlers. My seccond baby came a lot sooner than expected and when looking at this pram with the siesta toddler seat on it the child undernieth could never be in the sitting position. Also when you child gets bigger there is a piece of fabric on the top of the seat that gets in the way of their head, I had to fold it over.

Excellent – Love it. Looks very classy, extremely comfortable to ride in and push. Would buy it again. Tried a lot of prams and am very happy with this one. I love almost everything about this pram. It's quite wide, doesn't fit down most shopping aisles but that makes it very sturdy and I have never had any indication that it would tip. Very comfortable… Read more

for baby and me. Pneumatic wheels make the ride very smooth. I live in the country with not very good roads and it's great for them. I love the extendable hood which provides great sun protection. Can also zip on sunshade and attach toddler seat. Easy to push with one hand. Wheels can be taken off easily so it folds down quite small for a pram of it's size. Large storage basket underneath with zip access when pram reclined. The only thing I'm not happy with is the material at the end where the baby's head goes - it's quite bulky and I have to fold it back so my baby's head doesn't touch it. Don't think it's quite high enough. Laying down seems to be OK, just when she's sitting up. It's quite fine for younger babies though - not a problem until they're older. With the back folded down it's really not a problem at all.
