Valco Baby began with a simple idea: families should not have to choose between a stroller that is practical and affordable and one that is beautifully designed and built to last.

When our founder, Louis New, was raising his own children, the stroller market felt divided. American products were generally designed for practicality and value, while European products focused more heavily on quality, design, and longevity—but often came with a higher price tag and a heavier, less convenient frame.

As an Australian, Louis felt he had a unique understanding of both markets and both ways of life. He saw an opportunity to bring the best of these two approaches together.

His goal was to create products that worked for real, everyday family life: easy to fold, lightweight enough to lift into the car, and practical for busy parents on the move. At the same time, he wanted them to be strong, thoughtfully designed, and durable enough to handle years of use.

This vision was shaped by firsthand experience.

As a young man, Louis traveled extensively throughout the United States, where he later met his wife and welcomed their first child. Living and parenting in America made it clear that families needed products suited to a faster, more mobile lifestyle. A compact fold and lightweight frame were essential for getting in and out of the car, running errands, and moving through daily life.

At the same time, European stroller design showed the value of a solid frame, smooth handling, quality materials, and long-term durability.

Valco Baby was created to combine those strengths.

We design strollers that are compact and lightweight without feeling flimsy, and strong and durable without becoming unnecessarily bulky or expensive. Every product is developed with the realities of young family life in mind—from quick trips and school runs to long walks, growing families, and everyday adventures.

The world has changed since we first began, and families everywhere now share many of the same needs. But our philosophy remains the same: create thoughtful, reliable products that make life with children a little easier.

We are still a family-focused company, and we understand that parents are not simply buying a stroller. They are choosing something that will become part of their family’s daily life.

That trust matters to us.
