Unboxing & Instructional Video: Valco Baby Sports Pack Air Tires for Snap4, Snap Ultra, Snap

[@ArloAude]

Thanks Kate, my wife and I love watching your videos. We ordered the Snap4, and are considering the sports pack!

[@kateschwanke]

Thank you! I highly recommend them. I haven't removed them since I put them on because we love them so much!

[@ArloAude]

+kateschwanke Thanks for the reply. It's always so nice when we get to hear from an author. While I have your attention, maybe I could ask a few more questions. We're about to have our first, yeah!, and my wife and I are of course wanting our babe to be very comfortable. We've noticed a big difference in the seat padding between manufacturers. We recently tried a City Mini GT, and loved it, but it was just too big and heavy for an every-day, going to the store and short walks. The Snap 4 seems ideal. But, we thought the same thing of the Mountain Buggy Mini that we tried. However, the MB seat had zero padding, while the City Mini had wonderful padding. Also, the City Mini GT was very tippy when we put a diaper bag on the back. How do you think the Snap 4 padding compares? And, how is the tipping stability? Thanks again!

[@kateschwanke]

+Arlo Aude Oh sure! I have found the padding has been great! My son has been very comfortable in it. It will tip a bit if you have a heavy bag on the handle bars (as most strollers would if they are empty with a heavy bag on the bars). Once the child is in the seat it doesn't tip at all. The best way to avoid tipping with a heavy bag is to place it lower on the stroller. I will link you to my video where I talk about that on the Snap4. Overall, this is a fabulous stroller. It's compact, lightweight, has a nice size basket, fully reclines...seriously my favorite stroller! I can't say enough good things about it. We use it every day, and have for over a year. And I love it even more now with the Sport Pack tires on it, however they do add weight to the stroller. I hope this helps! Here is my link to my video where I talk about Stroller Clips + Diaper Bags on the Valco Baby Snap4 :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4qZaZycjtujbaM

You're welcome! :)

I love that they have this but where I live it’s $139 and doesn’t even have a tire pump included 🤦‍♀️

[@echelecopao]

Do you find that the sport front wheels do not swivel very smoothly? In mine it seems like they fit too tight into the stroller, and they are harder to turn and make the stroller less maneuverable.

[@kateschwanke]

Compared to the original tires, they are not as maneuverable, but try it on grass, gravel etc. and you’ll find it works amazingly! I find it is very maneuverable on cement and asphalt as well

Hi. Thanks for this video. Do you know weigth difference between both tyres? Are definitely happy with these Sport one? Thanks for your answer. Greetings from Spain!

[@kateschwanke]

Hi there! I do not know the weight difference, only that the rubber tires are heavier than the factory tires. I never switched back to the factory tires after I installed the Sport tires! They were awesome for so many different terrains

[@clarenceg.7789]

@@kateschwanke Thanks for your aswrer Kate. We will see if we purchase them. Kind regards.

@rusty I was in the way to take this one, then Mast that are same and better design but finally took Oyster Zero. Super one and real suspension. Same weight and good finish.
