Valco Baby Tri Mode Single Jogging Stroller - Brilliant Black 2008
The Black Valco Single Jogging Stroller - add an optional Toddler Seat for more fun!
Valco Baby Tri Mode Single Jogging Stroller in Harlequin Black is smart and cool. The sleek, chic design will turn heads, but the comfort and ease is why you want to buy this stroller. Now in Harlequin Black – this stroller looks cool and also hides dirt exceptionally. But style isn’t the only think this stroller has going for it. Here’s why you will love the design.
Start with the “tri-mode” control system. Why is it called “tri-mode?” Unlike almost all other three wheel strollers, you can lock the wheels in different positions, depending on where you are. Strolling or jogging down the sidewalk? Lock the wheels so that they won’t throw you off balance like those shopping carts which have a wheel that want to go everywhere but straight. In a store where you need to maneuver around corners? Just put the wheels on full swivel and you will never again bump into a corner. Walking down the street or anywhere in between? The unique 45 degree lock lets the wheels move a little, but no too much to slow you down. Three settings – That’s why they named it “Tri-Mode.” The Valco Baby Runabout is loaded with great design features that make this one of the easiest strollers to use. Take the adjustable handle for example. If one parent is taller than another, its no problem. Just move the handlebar up. Whatever your height, there’s a comfortable handle position.
Interestingly, many people buy the Runabout because of the optional toddler seat. This secure seat holds a toddler above and in front of your baby. It is much easier to push a stroller set up this way then to try and maneuver a double stroller in tight spaces. No more hitting the corners or display racks in the mall. Taking the kids shopping has never been easier. And when not in use, you don’t have to remove the toddler seat. It is designed to fold up and out of the way.
Air just flows through this stroller with the smart rear hood flap. A zip off storage pocket at the back can be used as a diaper bag that hangs onto the stroller. The bottom basket is even bigger, allowing you to take more things with you on your stroll.
Don’t forget, this is not just a great stroller, it’s a great jogging stroller. That means it comes with such features as a one touch brake system with full suspension, quick release light weight wheels – just like on a racing bike, and side basket pockets for easy access and increased storage.
Safety and comfort are also among the most important features with two 5-point safety harnesses, each with reflective harness webbing and strap covers that are padded for your children’s comfort.
At just twenty-three pounds, the Runabout is one of the lightest, full function strollers we carry. Where this really comes in handy is when you are out doing errands and have to fold the Runabout up and throw it in your car. Not a problem with the Runabout.
