Thought it was a great little stroller at first, we have travlelled with it and used it from about 7months.  It is now a year old - and already feeling its age - starting to fall apart!

I ditched our 13kg beast of a pram for this when our baby was 3 months and wish I'd had it from birth. It is ultra-lightweight, easy to put up and down, manouevers (how do you spell that?) well, has good storage, multiple layback positions (including flat) and looks good. It comes with zip on shade and rain cover included. I love it and would highly recommend it. If there is a downside it's that it is quite narrow and small and I could see a decent sized toddler outgrowing it before you are ready to stop using a stroller.

Valco Urban Ultralight....



I traded my 15kg 3 wheeler jogger for this and should have done so much sooner. The Urban is a very compact and extremely light stroller, it only weighs 6kg.

It's very easy to manoeuvre and handle. Being so compact (and stylish) it is great for the supermarket or shops with narrow aisles as it fits with ease. It's not bulky and the wheels don't protrude out either like some larger prams do.

The basket is super large so you can fit just about anything in it and is very accessible.

The seating has infinate reclining postions. It has a clip and a strap (which is very easy to adjust) to move the seat up and down to whatever position you like and it fully reclines for newborns.

It fits into my boot with tons of room left over for other things (like shopping bags!). It's so easy to fold and has a carry handle so it will be suitable for people who depend on public transport also.

It was worth the $$ spent. The accessories that came standard with it are a zip on rain cover and a zip on UV shade cover. A boot cover is not included. I had to purchase that seperately. Sadly there is no room on the frame to attach my cup holder though.

It really is an all round great stroller and fits the budget and has all the components I was looking for in a pram. One very happy mumma here !



I believe they have upgraded the pram slightly in the past few months as there seems to be a few different features on my one compared to SassyMums in her review.

PRODUCT REVIEW FOR VALCO URBAN ULTRALIGHT



Being a mother who relies on Public Transport, I had a few requirements. I needed something lightweight, but good quality, something which was easy to carry and not difficult to fold up/unfold, something which had a hood and had a seat which could easily recline.



This has it all.



It's near impossible trying to find something affordable that's lightweight (this one weighs about 5kg - only a tiny bit more than my daughter did straight after her birth), especially if you want to avoid a hammock-style umbrella stroller (cheap, but not too fabulous for bubs back).



This one came with a carry strap too... meaning that I could easily fold it up (one-handed) while wrangling my whingy toddler, and hang it off one shoulder.



There's a carry basket underneath that's a decent size. Not TOO big mind you, but not too many STROLLERS seem to offer a large carry basket. I manage to fit a small toddler backpack under there though, as well as a few extra items (usually shopping bags, or my daughter's much-loved Elmo plush).



While it DOES recline to an ALMOST flat position (there's 3 positions to choose from), the manufacturers don't recommend it for a newborn. It's not as padded as a pram, and I think it's best suited for a toddler, or older baby, from about 6 months (though I would personally wait until about 10 or so months).



It's a narrow-ish stroller too... which means I can make my way through non-stroller/wheelchair checkouts just fine. Makes shopping a LOT easier.



Comes with a raincover and a shade cover too.



I really like it... the pram has been banished to the shed since I picked up this beauty for roughly $200 including shipping (I bought it online). I'd definately recommend it to someone with a busy toddler, or someone who needs something great in quality and features, but low in price and weight.
