5 Berri  · To boldly go where no-one has gone before. Welcome to the Next Generation!
5 Kristie  · Can’t fault it – So easy and light to push. Great features in the hoods and foot rests. Good sized wheels and wipeable fabric. Came with the best cup holder
4 Mohsin  · Best for two babys – So far really satisfied with the pram I bought for my two little ones.
3 Lisa  · Average – Sun hoods are small. The wheels are average. I wish I bought the city mini based on sun coverage and wheel quality. Otherwise it's ok.

Saved our lives and sanity – As a parent of a child with severe sensory needs and aversions that affect us being able to leave our home some days, this pram has been invaluable. It's great for shops, walking, has a huge basket for storage, both seats recline separately. Both my 2 and 5 year old sit comfortably. Uneven surfaces may sometimes get caught if you're using the pram on the higher weight ranges. Overall, we love this pram. Show details ·  1

Excellent pram – This is an excellent pram. Light for a double and the kids love being side by side and being able to see everything. It’s held up very well after 4yrs of daily use. Can’t fault it at all. Would highly recommend. Show reply

After writing the following request to the customer service department, no reply was received: "Dear customer service, in 2022 we purchased the valco baby snap duo stroller at Iperbimbo in Turin (Italy). During normal use, the neoprene covering the push handle was damaged (see photo) and needed to be replaced. Although I sent an email to the… Read more

Italian customer service (a.maso@haltho.com) to find out where to find the neoprene cover that wraps around the push handle, no reply was received. I am afraid that your European customer service does not work well. We would be forced to solve this differently and sell the stroller with consequent not positive publicity".

However, today, the supplier where I bought the pushchair has written to me that Valco Baby has written to them that I can buy the whole replacement frame for €150.00. Absurd. I will never buy or recommend Valco Baby products again.

Fabulous pram - LOVE IT! – Where do I start - this pram has been absolutely amazing. Ever since my 2nd daughter arrived, I couldn't wait to wrap her up snug in the duo bassinet (bought separately) which I had already set up right next to her big sister who loves being beside her baby sister. Having the option to add the bassinet is what sold me on getting this pram as I… Read more ·  1

wanted to have my littlest one parent facing. I also loved that each seat had its own footrest too for extra comfort. I did a lot of research on double prams and kept comparing the duo to other side by side doubles, and tossing up whether to get a tandem. I had previously owned the snap ultra for my toddler so knew I loved Valco prams. The seat sizing is perfect for my 2.5yr old toddler and even my 5 year old niece has sat in it comfortably for adventures with us. I love the fact that the material is very easy to wipe over any marks or grubby finger spots, the sun hoods are fantastic covering well over my girls. My favourite aspect of the pram is the very spacious under basket which has the best access I've ever come across in prams. It is seriously huge and so handy. To fold the pram is super simple (one button press on the frame then a grab/hold handle button press) and it folds in half. The brake is easy, one simple tap of the foot (with and even without shoes which is good because some pram brakes are tough and can hurt your feet). The other handy feature is that each wheel comes off with the press of button making storage at home or in the car boot ever more straight forward. We've been on big family walks around the neighbourhoods, taken it on plenty of public transport trips (buses and ferry includes), walked around the city and shopping centres weekly, it's just the best pram and I cannot recommend it enough as a double. It has handled lots of situations so well and has always felt sturdy yet lightweight and easy to push. Very glad we have it for our two girls who will continue to fit into it comfortably as they grow.

One of our ultimate twin purchases! – I can’t even tell you how much we love this pram. We started out with an expensive tandem pram which was great when our twins were little, but after 12 months we started wondering what else out there would have more leg room, be lighter, have less assembly every time we got in and out of the car, had easier steering on suburban footpaths,… Read more ·  1

amongst other things. On a recommendation from a friend who had it too, we picked up one of these in the tailormade model and it has nailed it on all accounts.

Getting around with twins is hard, and a daunting task every time you leave the house. This pram removed one of the obstacles and I found myself getting out of the house more and more, taking walks on paths I’d previously avoided, and even going into shops that were too hard to navigate with a long tandem pram. It’s wide, yes, but narrower than most, and I’ve only found one place so far the pram couldn’t fit - a Doctors office where I prefer to take the boys in our TwinGo carrier anyway.

The boys are always comfy and very happy to sit in it at 18 months old, and love being able to hold hands - close, but not so close that they annoy each other, especially with seperate sun covers. The basket can be a little more inconvenient to access than other prams, but it’s so big that I don’t often mind.

My other main criteria is keeping it clean - I’m not using pram liners but I’ve pulled everything off after a particularly messy pram snack experience, and it all washed perfectly and looks brand new again.

Overall would highly recommend.

Love this pram!! – I chose the Valco Snap Duo when due with my second child because at just under 10kg, it is the lightest double pram on the market. It flips open in one easy step, folds down easily, folds quite flat; it has an easy to use foot brake; moves really well (it can zip around in a tight little circle if you want it to!) and is quite narrow for a double… Read more

pram, so most doorways are not an issue to get through. The hoods extend a long way for maximum sun protection, and the bars at the front are removeable for each child. The seats lie down all the way, and can be used with an adaptor to hold a compatible capsule. (I put my Britax in and just rest it against the front bar which also does the trick). The only downsides I’ve found are that the basket underneath is a bit hard to access due to low clearance of the seats, and my toddler sometimes hits her arms on the sides of the seat because it is a bit narrow and those side parts aren’t padded. Otherwise it has been fantastic for my baby (from newborn) and my now 3-year-old, 15kg, tall girl.

Amazing double stroller for toddler and newborn! – Very happy with our choice for our newborn and toddler with a small age gap. Ours lives in the car to speed up getting out of the house, and competes highly for easy pushability against our single babyjogger city mini and our bugaboo donkey. Fits through doorways, easy to use, great buy for around $500 on sale. Show details ·  1

Amazing Pram! – Awesome pram suited our needs with a toddler and a newborn. Love that you don’t require any additional attachments for the newborn stage, seats fully recline and foot rest comes up right essentially making a bassinet. Pram is light weight for a double, I found it very easy to push and steer. Has a massive storage basket underneath which is… Read more ·  1

super handy! Never had any issues with the pram not fitting, I found if there was disabled access the pram fits.

Overall I love this pram and highly recommend it to parents who have two kids close in age or twins

Awesome Double Pram – I purchased my Valco Snap Duo double pram for my twin girls which I have now used for the past two years. In this time, the pram has been excellent! It is sturdy, very easy to fold down and lightweight (9kg), (especially needed to be lightweight when putting in the boot of my car). It did the job it was supposed to do and I love it!! I recommend this pram to anyone who is having twins or who have two small kiddies. Show details ·  1

Not too good – Not too convenient, as the stroller cannot stand, has no stand for self stand. A little clumsy. And the tyre got a crack after just one use. The canopy also comes apart all the time. Thought it was good, but had to return, not value for money. Had got black colour.

Great pram but won't fit through front door – I really liked this pram which was lent to us by a friend. It was comparatively light, easy to steer and both kids liked being in it. The deal breaker for us though is that it wouldn't fit through our front door. So I would suggest you check this prior to purchase because I thought and still think our door is of a standard size. My only… Read more

other comment is that after some reasonable use the foam handle has started to deteriorate. ..but that's something that can be easily fixed.

Never again!! – The metal shaft of the front wheel snapped while I was walking across a busy road and my whole pram nearly toppled over. It was lucky that I was holding onto the handle firmly or my kids could've been severely hurt. The company refunded the prams price but not the unused accessories I had bought with it. I had only used this pram a dozen times. I loved the Valco zee which I had before this but I will never buy Valco again!

Fantastic double pram with ride on board – I recently got the valco snap duo with rover ride on board for my 3 boys (age 3.5, 2 and 3m old) so that I could take all 3 out without them fighting over who would sit in the pram. It is study quality with affordable pricing and ALL the boys love it!! I’ve used it to take them to the park, to the shops and just for a walk around the block. Bub… Read more ·  1

sleeps comfortably in it and my oldest loves sitting and standing on the detachable ride on board! When we have bub in the carrier, the two older boys like to sit side by side. Wish we had purchased it earlier!

Perfect pram – Easy to unfold and fold. Light weight and fits through doors you wouldn't think it would. It was recommended by a work colleague who has one for her twins. She said all her friends who had expensive other brands, more than $1,000.00, ended up getting the Valco brand prams instead

Love it – Perfect for both my toddler and newborn. I chose this as I don't like the idea of one child sitting above the other n my girls love looking out at everything we come across. The big basket and pockets come in handy when out and about and it is easy to maneuver. Will def recommend to anyone looking for a double

Perfect for twins – Easy to move, lightweight and easy to fold. Fits through standard doorways and no wider than a single pram. Wheels are sturdy and the basket underneath is huge. Facing the seats either way is also a bonus as it can also act as a “highchair” when at places that don’t have a highchair available.

It is a beast – This pram is so sturdy, big storage underneath. It can withstand rough terrain and has been a good workhorse with two year old twin boys and shopping. Cleaning the different parts is tricky, but a good scrub and hose down then leave in the sun did the trick. Definitely worth it

I love this stroller!! – I love this pram. It is perfect for my babies. My 3 year old still goes in it sometimes as she hates walking. Easy to push and manuever and I love the hood that can extend further by unzipping it. My kids also find it comfortable and regularly fall asleep in it. They can practically lay flat in it.

Its ok – I bought this for my 3 and 1 year old so they could sit side by side. It's easy to push and fold and fits through a standard doorway. The only things I dont like is it's not very compact and the weight is heavy. It's hard and takes alot of room in the boot and quite heavy to lift and throw in the boot. Otherwise is a great double pram.

Amazing! – Overall an easy double pram to push around, light weight and also fits through all doors. So compact and easy to fold down and also has a strap to carry from place to place. The canopy is well made great shade to protect your babies from the sun or wind!

Better than Strider Compact – Love love love this pram!! so light, easy to manoeuver - even one handed, so easy to just unfold (or fold) and go! Getting it in and out of the car is a breeze. I’ve had no issues with the width - it fits anywhere a troller or wheelchair can - which is pretty much everywhere! I originally had a strider compact with second seat for my two boys… Read more

(3 & 1), but it was heavy to lift, a pain to unfold / fold and put in the car due to always having to remove or attach one of the seats, and both kids didn’t like being on the bottom and not being able to see. Now they are side by side and love it! They love holding hands and sharing the viewing experience and I’m loving how much easier it is to just unfold and go!

prams but all those were very heavy for me as I had a CSec and didn't have much

energy.

- pram liner material is very good

- no need for newborn bassinet

- very decent price

- foot lock is amazing

- yet to find one.

Absolutely recommend this pram – This pram is excellent to maneuver- even with heavy children. It is also extremely simple to fold and unfold- which is very helpful when trying to keep an eye on two little kiddies. I’ve had mine for almost two years and it looks as good as new (highly recommend the tailor made- so easy to clean) I loved having the option to insert a bassinet or use as is for a newborn. Love love love this pram. A++

Great pram! – Best pram ever. It's so light, easily folds and fully reclines. Unfortunately after 12 months of use the stitching has started to come apart between the seats. My oldest is only 14 kgs and the pram is suppose to take up to 20kgs each seat. As is common I bought the pram a month or two before my second was born which now puts me out of my 12 month… Read more

Light weight and easy to handle – It's Light weight, easy to fold and open, and load in the boot. Wheels also pop out if needed. Also i found it easy to pass through door and even on buses. Sturdy enough for normal use. Would have given 5star if the wheel were better. Foam wheel is easy pierced by seeds and other tiny things on pavement.

Small, light, easy to use – Narrow for a side by side double pram, and light in weight too. Easy enough to lift in and out of car. Ok size underneath storage although you have to take everything out to fold it up. I am happy with my value for money, for us it works well.

Great pram! – one of the lightest of all double prams. easy to operate and fold and plenty of grocery space below. Used it on overseas trips. No issues at all. Baby and toddler could sleep comfortably in the pram with no issues. No longer in use now and sold it on to another family.
