Quinny Zapp
“I bought one of these the other day as our second Quinny Zapp. Not because the other one had broken (it’s going strong after eight months of heavy use) but because I’m selling our big pushchair and replacing it with one of these.
The Quinny Zapp has served us incredibly well. We used it as a travel system when my son was tiny, and then as a pushchair when he grew out of his Maxi-Cosi car seat. If you have one of these, there really is no need to buy a big pushchair: my mother insisted, bought us one, and we used it twice because it was easier to use the Quinny.
So, the good points:
It folds up to be tiny: I believe Quinny are marketing the Zapp as the world’s smallest-folding pushchair. It fits in the boot of a Fiat Seicento with ample room to spare; with the big pushchair I had to fold the seat down and had room for nothing else.
It’s light and comfortable to push, and can be pushed one-handed. The turning circle is tiny, so no more reversing out of a lift. The handles are just the right height for me, and I’m average height. It folds up easily, although it does take a couple of practices before you get the hang of it.
Not only is it comfortable for me, but it’s comfortable for my son, too. We don’t battle to get him into the pushchair, but he’ll quite happily sit in it and watch the world go by. The shoulder straps are nicely padded, and he sleeps well in it.
A Maxi-Cosi car seat just clicks down into the adapters, which meant that we could get a newborn baby out of the car and around town without waking him up.
Storage space-wise, Quinny have FINALLY added a shopping basket as an optional extra. You can’t fit too much into it, but it’s better than the previous model. It also beats trying to carry a baby in a sling and all your shopping.
Lastly, the style: People see this buggy and comment on how stylish it is, and ask where I got it from. It’s particularly impressive with the car seat on, but still very smart in both the old and the new colour combinations.
There are also a few little niggles that I’ve adjusted to:
You can’t hang anything heavy on the handlebars. This matters less with the addition of the shopping basket, and I get around it by taking the bare minimum of baby stuff with me in a Skip Hop Pronto Mini Changer Black.
The seat doesn’t recline. This hasn’t been a problem for us: my son is happy to sleep upright and still looks comfortable. However, if you want a pushchair that reclines, this isn’t for you.
Getting the car seat on and off and folding the pushchair both require practise. If you’re going to use one of these as a travel system from birth, it’s a good idea to get to grips with it before the baby is born. ”
So, in conclusion: it’s a great pushchair and a great travel system. You really don’t need anything more than this and a Maxi-Cosi car seat, and it was worth every penny for the fantastic quality and design.
