Valco Twin Latitude - umbrella stroller
From Chana Rivkin, CS from Valco:
We are hoping the Twin Latitude will be available around April 2008. However,
the color, dimensions and retail price is not definite yet. I did show this model at the Las Vegas show and I can assure you this stroller has a very simple and flat fold. I am a big fan of this stroller. It is very light weight and easy to maneuver. The stroller will be designed with infant head huggers to ensure added security.
Strollerqueen cites the price at $199 & if that's the case, I'm all over this one for the light-weight umbrella stroller!

BOB
Unfortunately, the 12" duallie only comes in the above Black/Camel.
The singles come in some new colors besides their staples of red, blue & black. For 2008:
Blue/chocolate
Pink/Chocolate
Camel/Tan
And new for 2008 is this nifty equipment attachment that can be used to prolong the life of your BOB chassis after your kiddos are out of the stroller.
