valco rad w/icandy pear pip conversion kit

valco rad single

^valco rad in reverse mode

I loved my rad as a single..so I figured why not try it out as a double?? the icandy apple chassis is VERY similar if not the same as the chassis of the valco rad so i bought the icandy apple to pear pip kit (available at albeebaby.com)

**CLICK PHOTOS TO SEE FULL SIZE! sorry i dont know how to make them fully fit in the screen when large...

the navy blue seat is the original seat from the rad, its larger than the large pear seat and can be used in place of the large pear seat..but not in place of the small pear seat.
