Bottom line
The Valco baby Snap 4 is a surprisingly capable 4-wheel pram. Weighing in at only 6.6kg, it is very lightweight and maneuverable and comes with many good features that you’d get on more expensive prams. A large canopy, large wheels, large basket and almost-fully reclined seat makes it perfect for long strolls out.
The main downside is that it doesn’t have the premium fabrics of other prams – being polyester – and the straps can be hard to adjust. But at $349 (and potentially cheaper if you can find a deal) it is a fantastically functional pram at a minimum and you’d be saving a lot of money compared to buying other brand name prams.
Why you would buy it:
You want a fully featured and agile pram at a very attractive price.
