Valco Tri-Mode $425 single $650 double Like their New Zealand neighbor Phil & Ted, this Australian stroller company has created several well built strollers with interesting features. The signature stroller in the line is the 23 pound all terrain Tri-Mode, whose major selling point is its convertibility. The front swivel system has 3 wheel functions…full swivel, fully fixed and 45º swivel which is best for use with their optional easily mounted toddler seat ($80) or bassinet ($150) attachment. This attachment turns this single stroller into a double without adding the width or length that’s common in a twin or tandem stroller. They’ve made life comfortable for your child with a sun cap in the hood, a head rest and harness strap covers. Their car seat adaptor ($40) is compatible with Britax, Combi, Graco and Peg Perego infant car seats. Parents like the one touch seat recline, one touch brake system, adjustable height handle, storage pockets everywhere and rave about the way it maneuvers, but some think it’s a bit heavy and too wide to fit down some aisles. All and all this stroller is a winner in the single as well as the double version.
