I have a Valco Runabout and it's a great pram, very easy to manoeuvre. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is very wide and doesn't fit through a lot of checkouts at the shops.

How old is the pram that your friend is selling? Does it come with any accessories like a toddler seat or bassinette? The reason I ask is that $200 is a pretty high price to pay for one second hand these days. I picked up mine with a toddler seat for $100 and on eBay some are selling for less that $100. Other sell for more, but they are usually fairly new and come with accessories.
