So, a little while back, I was asking questions about the Valco latitude. I was very hard to find pictures and reviews on this stroller. I promised to post pics when I got it, so here they are!

First, a short review:
Price paid...I bought the stroller and the hitchhiker board for a total of $341 and free shipping.
It is a beautiful stroller. I got the silk black and it's gorgeous. Very sturdy and well made. Nobody skimped on quality of materials on this stroller. It fits my 1 year old beautifully (primary rider for this stroller). My 3 year old doesn't have much room to grow (i got the ride on board for him though).

Pros:
*Well made
*Comes with all the extras (boot, rain cover, bumper bar, carseat adaptor).
*Adjustable height handlebar.
*Great harness. You know how some harnesses don't get small enough for little babies, well this one does. And big enough for my 3 year old. Adjustable in every way.
*Harness is completely child proof. No kid could get themselves unbuckled in this.
*Great recline. Almost flat.
*Basket underneath is HUGE for a lightweight stroller.
*Wheels are nice and big.
*Reasonably good hood.

Cons:
*Difficult fold.
*If you don't put in on just right, the hood pops off when you fold the stroller.
*Short seat back. Not meant for big kids.
*A little tippy on turns with one hand.
*Expensive!!!

Overall, great stroller for little ones. Not toddlers. I wouldn't buy this stroller for a 2-3 year old..especially if their big for their age. I love that the seat back can sit almost completely upright. And it's supportive on the back and butt ..unlike the BJCM.

On to the pics:

The hitchhiker board folds up out of the way when you aren't using it..or it can be easily taken off with two simple clicks. :)
I love it.

So, that's my super duper long review!

Nice review, and nice looking stroller! It is pricey, but look at everything you get.

Can you fold up the stroller with the board connected? Oh, and do you kick the board at all, or feel like you are going too?

I really like the looks of that board.

ETA: Would the board fit on the BJ by any chance?

Wow! Sorry! I just looked back at this now!

You CAN fold the stroller with the board on..however, it doesn't fold completely shut.
I don't feel like I'm going to kick the board at all! It's fully adjustable..including how close/far away from the stroller it is.

I does fit on the BJ, but, because of the way the bjcm naturally slants (think naturally reclined seats of this stroller) there is not room for the child to stand properly.

The board is completely adjustable and would probably fit ANY stroller..you just have to test it out with a kid so you can see if they have enough room to stand properly. :)

Love your review! Thank you! I was particularly interested in the hitchhicker and its compatibility with the BJCMD and you answered it!

Incredible photos and models :D
