My husband and I are considering the valco twin roundabout for our new twin. We also have a toddler so we would get the toddler seat. Does anybody know if you can use the toddler seat and the infant car seat adapter at the same time? I'd love to snap the car seats into the stroller and still use the toddler seat.
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you can't put the toddler seat on the valco at the same time you have a carseat adapter on. The toddler seat sits more in the middle of the two seats for balance purposes.

Your toddler however could use the hitchhiker board on the back. (Also, you'll want to double check too that you can put two carseat adapters in at the same time. You would think in a twin stroller you could, but you can't always.)

the valco website will have a customer service contact email. In my experience they've been good answering questions.

We don't have the car seat adapter, but we do have the toddler seat for ours and I can't see how they would both work. It is an awesome stroller, and will work nicely. I believe that you can use the stroller w/ newborns. So, if you forgo the carseat/carseat adapter then it will work for you. Also, I don't know for sure because we didn't use this setup early on, but I don't think you can use two car seats at the same time. We are using two strollers (A Zooper Waltz for toddler) and the double snap & go for a while, then switching over to Valco w/ toddler seat. I am considering the boogie board attachment as well when toddler gets a little bigger.

Thanks for your replies! That really bums me out! I want a stroller that can hold two car seats and our toddler (sitting) but am not wild about what I've read regarding the Joovy big caboose. I emailed Valco so I'll post if they have different info. Until then, does anyone have any other ideas?
