I need a single lightweight stroller.
We have the BJCMD and I love love love it. But my almost 3 year old is old enough to want to walk more often on short trips like a quick mall trip (we take long walks to nearby stores..so we still totally need the double for this).

So, I need a single stroller for my 11 month old to ride in occasionally.

I'm looking at the Valco latitude. I love the looks of it and that it comes with lots of the accessories that don't come with the Baby jogger.
I can't seem to find a lot of information/reviews/real life pictures of it though.

Does anyone have this stroller? How do you like it?

Thanks!

I totally would...except my 11 month old does NOT like that she can't sit up straight in the BJCMD we have. lol.

And I'm tempted to get the single even though I know she'd be angry while riding in it...just because it rocks so much. lol.
But, I heard that the Valco's sit up pretty straight. :)

We have a Trimode and we are IN LOVE.

Even DH said it was worth every.single.penny and I have had like 8 strollers.

I won't own another brand after this.

We have a bigger all-terrain stroller because we live in the country and like to take walks. It got cumbersome in the trunk all the time so I got a Valco. I love it! It folds up so compact for the trunk and is great for shopping trips. My DS is 24 months old and has even dozed off in it. I hated spending money on a second stroller when our original one is so nice but I haven't regretted it since it takes up so little room and is great to maneuver!

Uh oh this may be a downfall of the bjcmd!!

I don't know about the Valco Latitude but we have the Trimode and I love it. I have owned many a stroller and this is a keeper. Valco makes a quality stroller:)

Thanks so much for the replies everyone!

I'm totally gonna get the Valco.
I gotta file the taxes (yeah i'm lazy) and I'll use some yummy tax money to get it.

When I get it, I'll be sure to post photos...maybe it will help someone...i couldn't find ANY real life photos of the valco latitude!

The Latitude supposedly has a short seat. I haven't seen one, but that was what I came away with when I did research a while ago (comparing it to the BJCM).
