Valco Runabout Tri-Mode or Zooper Zydeco?

[eep17]

Hello-
I am trying to decide whether to get the Trimode or the Zydeco. I like that the trimode is a little more lightweight, more storage, etc. But the reversible seat feature of the Zydeco, along with all of the included accessories (UV screen, rain shield, etc.)are also attractive- however it's heavier and seems to have a bulkier fold.
Is the reversible seat worth the extra weight/bulk? How is the storage on the Zydeco?
If only the Trimode were reversible....
Btw, We have a Honda Pilot, so have a fair amount of room for the times when we'll be travelling w/ the stroller.....

Thanks in advance! It took forever to narrow it down to these two, and now I am stuck....

I went through this same decision last year. Initially, I wanted the Zooper Boogie (similar to the Zydeco) based on the reversible seat feature. When I got to the store, the salesperson talked me into the Valco, which is a definitely a good stroller. After I got home and started thinking about what I really wanted, I realized that I wanted the reversible seat option so I returned the Valco for the Boogie and I don't regret my decision.

I purchased a lighter weight stroller for the car since the Zoopers don't fold that compactly but that probably won't be an issue for you.

The reversible seat is what sold me.

I own a boogie (from before they downgraded their features), and have owned a valco. I much preferred the boogie, and really wish they had a similar doubles version. Loved the rear facing, loved the basket, loved the handling - I dealt with the weight. This time around I need a double, so I am considering a Valco again, but only because I can't find what I want in an AT double.
