Experts and owners are generally impressed with the Valco Runabout TriMode Twin. This stroller has an extremely narrow width -- only 28 inches, compared to 29 inches for the Mountain Buggy Urban Double (*est. $670). The Trimode Twin is easy to push and maneuver, according to parents and reviewers, who complain only of its 35-pound weight, bulk and difficulty in folding (common issues with double strollers in general), as well as its high price.
The Valco Runabout TriMode Twin receives the most thorough coverage at Baby-Gaga.com and JoggingStroller.com, which offers an in-depth editorial review followed by posts from parents who own this side-by-side all-terrain double stroller. The TriMode Twin is also discussed on the Baby Bargains Forum and by a several owners posting to Epinions.

In this review, Baby-Gaga acknowledges all the good stuff about the Valco -- its maneuverability, durability, cushy padding and ability to accommodate an infant car seat -- but points out that it is "annoyingly bulky and heavy to fold and stow," is hard to keep clean, and has an ineffective sun canopy. The editors of this site prefer the Mountain Buggy Urban Double.
