I am in the process of likely buying the valco runabout after reading all of the favorable reviews. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there are any differences b/w this year and last year's models of the RA besides the ~$40 price difference.
I would appreciate any input. THanks

The main differences are that the 2005 has an adjustable handle, and easy on/off attachment mechanism for the accessories. (Toddler seat, car seat adapter, etc)

Honestly, I would go with the newer model, because if you decide to have another child later on, you will be able to get the toddler seat for it.... the 2004's will pretty soon be obsolete.
That, and if you go to sell it, you will have more luck selling the newer one, as there the person can buy accessories if they choose, whereas the 2004 accessories are being phased out, and will no longer be available in another year or so.
