Valco Runabout Tri Mode ATS
Date Published: 8/2/07
With a maximum capacity of 45 pounds, the Valco Runabout Tri Mode ATS jogger stroller can handle a growing child. This stroller can accommodate an infant, thanks to a five-point harness and reclining seat, but it's also roomy enough to comfortably transport a toddler, and in some cases, a preschooler.
Unlike most jogger strollers available just a few years ago, the Valco Runabout is easy to turn and can be used in a variety of situations. Still, when it comes to distance walking or jogging, few things beat a jogger stroller, and this one is easy to push with just one hand. The Valco Runabout, although pricey, includes thoughtful features such as an adjustable height handle, a washable rain canopy with view-through window and rear brakes.
Our only complaint is a lower storage basket that doesn't seem to be secured as well as we would like and may come undone at the corners. Weighing in at 23 pounds, this stroller is relatively easy to lift and folds compactly, thanks to removable tires. The fabric is luxurious and the seat is thickly padded, providing a comfortable ride. Plus, it's sturdy yet lightweight aluminum frame, coupled with large wheels, add to the comfort and usefulness of the Valco Runabout Tri Mode ATS jogger stroller. The verdict? This is one jogger stroller that looks as good as it performs, and may just be worth the steep price.
Pros: Lightweight, easy to steer, removable wheels
Cons: Pricey
