Valco Baby Tri-Mode Twin stroller

1. JoggingStroller.com

The professional review on this site calls the Valco Runabout TriMode Twin "among the very best in feature-loaded swivel-wheel all-terrain double strollers," and compares it favorably to the Mountain Buggy Urban Double and Phil and Teds Twin (it's lighter, slightly narrower, and has higher seats). The two dozen parents posting here overwhelmingly give the Valco double stroller high scores.

2. Baby-Gaga.com

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.
