Quinny Zapp

I wanted a Quinny Zapp and was put off by the price, when I was still lusting after one 2 months I decided it was time to take action and shop around! ~~Specification~~ Handle height: 106.5cm Folded: 69 x 27 x 30cm Weight: 8kg ~~Where to purchase~~ They are stocked by: Mothercare £150.00, although the Orange one is on sale for £130 at the moment Independent Baby Stockists - around £150 EBay - new and second hand New from around £100 - ...
...The main selling point that Quinny are using is it is the worlds smallest buggy when folded, it really does fold down small! They brag that it will fit into a car footwell - which it does in my little run around which is an achievement I have to say! When folded Quinny specify the dimensions as 69 x 27 x 30cm, I roughly measured it and would say that is fair. And….it's easy to collapse! Horrah! I'm probably at the low end of buggy folding geniuses ...

Review of Quinny Zapp

I bought my Quinny Zapp when my daughter was tiny, after falling in love with one at the registry office when we went to register her birth. As we struggled into the lift with our cumbersome, bulky travel system another new mum zipped (or zapped) in next to us, pushing her tiny pushchair with one hand, fitting into the very small amount of space we'd left beside our four-wheeled monstrosity. I'm not ashamed to admit - I damn near drooled. Three wheels, ...
...firmly attached to the stylish silver frame, it was practical, unusual and everything I now realised I wanted in a pushchair. Three weeks of nagging eventually persuaded mr monkeybelly, and I ordered and received my gorgeous new buggy, delivered by Kiddicare.com for what I considered to be a bargain £110. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WHAT'S SO GOOD ABOUT IT? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. It's tiny: It is the smallest pushchair in ...

Review of Quinny Zapp

...bill and it was the Quinny Zapp, advertised as the smallest folding buggy available it appealed as we were planning a holiday later in the year to Malta and had quite a few hassles with the Mclaren because of size on the last holiday. The Quinny Zapp is average sized when erected but once folded it is nice and compact and the size of a medium holdall once in it's bag. To disassemble all you need to do is unclip the front wheel and push the support ...
...there as we had our Quinny and were all ready for the holiday and it stayed in the box until we set off for the airport. The first experience of real use of the Quinny was when we arrived at the airport and stuck our littlest into it whilst waiting for our call for boarding and this is were we encountered our first problem(I know should have checked it fully before leaving). When we unfolded it it all came together quickly and easily but be warned ...

Review of Quinny Zapp

Quinny Zapp Working in a Baby Shop doesn’t really help my addiction to baby equipment. My 1 year old has had five buggies so far, and I can’t seem to stop, but thankfully if you chose your brands wisely they all will make a lot of their money back if you flog them on Ebay when you’re finished with them. The Quinny Zapp is my current ‘second stroller’ (How bad do I sound, most people only have one!) and I bought it for very specific reasons. Working ...
...purchases I make. When your Quinny Zapp folds down it is minute. I can easily pop it on the floor behind my seat and have the whole boot space for my goods. This has been my primary reason for owning it. To make this review easy to read I will break it down to Pros and Cons. It is very good to know these when choosing a stroller as you can get blinded by features and can miss how these will impact you as not all are as positive as they sound. Quinny ...

Review of Quinny Zapp

I've had my Quinny Zapp for nearly a month now and am largely pleased with my investment. At around 150 pounds it is alot more expensive than most umbrella style buggies but it does have certain advantages over the conventional lightweight 4 wheel buggies that can make it worth the extra cost. I think it is suitable from around 6 months to 3 years and comes in a variety of colours. First I'll briefly go into my reasons for buying the Quinny Zapp ...
...onto the bus. The Quinny Zapp beats any of the 4 wheel lightweight buggies on steering and manouvrebility simply because of the three wheel design with swivel front wheel. I can spin the buggy rightround with one hand with my toddler in it whereas I found even steering the four wheel types awkward with one hand, never mind spinning them! The problem I had lifting the buggy into the luggage compartment of the bus was solved by the fact that the ...

Review of Quinny Zapp

The ZAPP is my " holiday/car" buggy I keep it in the boot as its so very small and I travel with it,again for the same reason. I wouldnt have it as a main buggy for these reasons: no-where to put shopping, no adjustment in reclining, its up-right or nothing, its too small for tall toddlers and too big for tiny babies ( again as it doesnt adjust, its for 8 months to 2 really. Its really light so you pop a bag on the handle and BANG, its over. Its ...
...( although mine seems to like this!!!!) I have had it 18 months and still forget sometimes how to put it up, you have to do this weird foot pull out thing below, and as my glam sister-in-law said " well, how the heck are you supposed to do THIS in high heels?" Once when I had a real baby-brain on I just couldnt work it out ( hadnt used it in a few weeks) thought I sussed it and my baby in buggy slowly collasped into the pavement, quite neatly folded ...

Review of Quinny Zapp

...bright, not too dark, now Quinny have brought it out in many colours, you name it, they have it from bright pink to bright orange! It states the pushchair is suitable from 6 months plus but I would say it's better suited to a child over 1 years. My son seemed to slump in it although the seat has a slight curve, it also doesn't recline. It costs around £130 for the stroller, a carry bag, raincover and the hood, for an extra £100 you can make the ...
...You can also get matching Quinny footmuffs for it. Handle height is around 106cm. The negatives - it's heavy when folded and isn't the easiest of pushchairs to fold although parts are numbered to what you need to press to get it folded. The raincover tears really easily as it fits too snuggly and babies kick out a lot. The wheels give off a very cheap plastic sound and don't handle rough ground well at all. It also has no storage space (no basket) ...

Review of Quinny Zapp

...all my problems!! The Quinny Zapp folds down into a very small package and comes with a carrier bag so you can carry it about with the shoulder strap. Also if the pushchair gets a bit muddy or wet then you can put it in the carrier bag to protect your car from unwanted stains. The Zapp takes up very little space in my car boot and am now able to fit everything in with ease!! The Zapp is so eay to push around and freely runs in the same direction ...
...a 360 degree turn. It comes in many different colours including red, mauve, black and orange and definitely turns a few heads in the street. Very fashionable! It can be bought from many of the big retailers like Toy's R Us and mothercare or secondhand on E-Bay. The prices range from anywhere up to about £150. Slightly expensive but is definitely worth the investment. Height 106.5cm Folded up: 69 x 27 x 30 cm Weight 8kg It comes with a raincover ...

Review of Quinny Zapp

...As it turned out, The Quinny Zapp would be one of the most practical buys I have made for my kids. Style. The Quinny Zapp out-styles the other pushchairs by miles. With it's bright coloured seats (mine is in traffic stopping orange but it also comes in black, steel blue, red and mauve) and the sleek steel frame in a sort of pod shape, it stands out for all the right reasons. Managability. This pushchair is the lightest and most comact chair on ...
...son in toe, but the Quinny made this so much easier. There are only two downsides to the Quiny Zapp that I can think of. Although it runs beautifully over paved ground due to its 360 degree swivel front wheel and the suberb suspension on the back wheels, it doesn't do so well on rougher terraine. The other downside is inevitable with such a lightweight chair. Be careful not to over load the handles with shopping bags as it can't take too much weight ...

Review of Quinny Zapp

...footmuff and postage costs. The Quinny Zapp is very compact and easy to put together, instructions are provided though I didn't feel the need to read them! With just a few easy clicks, the zapp could be used immediately. You get the Zapp itself, a sun canopy, raincover, travel bag, and adaptors that can be used with the maxi cosi car seat. You can buy footmuffs for £30-£40 and changing bags to match. The Zapp folds up to just over 2 feet long and ...
...it easily onto public transport and store safely in the boot of the car. I love the fact that it is so light and easy to use. The Zapp doesn't recline, although the seat is big and spacous and Sophie loves being able to see everything. It also doesn't have any storage so shopping becomes a bit of a problem. Although you can get shopping nets and baskets on ebay I haven't got round to buying one. The Zapp can be used in conjuntion with the maxi ...

Review of Quinny Zapp

I was looking for a lightweight buggy that we could take on a plane. The Zapp is (or ceratinly was) the lightest on the market and came with a bag you could transport it in, apparantly small enough to take on a plane as hand luggage (you do have to take the wheels off first though and wedge them in separately). When I first got the buggy I was delighted - it came with a great sleeping bag thing for cold days, a rain cover and the bag to transport ...
...button to store. It looks great and the steering is second to none, the front wheel has the oprion of being locked into position or move freely. If you unlock it you can steer it one handed easily it is so light and manouverable. Unfortunately that's where it ends and the flaws soon started to show pretty soon. The rain cover just doesn't fit properly at the bottom meaning wet feet - the flimsy velcro tab at the bottom broke within a month anyway, ...

Review of Quinny Zapp

Quinny Zapp smallest folding buggy and it really is! I think it is an amazing buggy but there are a few small flaws that I am not happy with but they do not outweight the positive. I brought this buggy after much consideration as i though that the price tag of £150 was expensive for a stroler when my travel system was not much more expensive than this. Any way I am totaly pleased with my purchase it really is an amazing item, it is so easy to push ...
...my 19 month old loves sitting in it as he is able to see lots more as it is quite and upright seat. I have also found that the material is easy to clean with wetwipes and come out looking like new after a wipe. However i do find something a real pain, the opening and closing of the pushchair is mostly easy but there have been occasions that i have had real trouble in both opening and closing the pushchair, there is a 3 point closing system that takes ...

Review of Quinny Zapp

...purchase was the brand name; Quinny is like the Ferrari of pushchairs! Since its arrival however, I have been more than impressed with this, and it has become my most-recommended piece of baby kit. First things first, the pushchair by itself is not suitable for children who cannot sit up by themselves. It does however come supplied with adapters for the Maxi-Cosi car seat, available separately, and of course you're going to need a car seat. Had ...
...tiny baby, I definitely would have bought the car seat - and will be keeping the pushchair itself and buying a Maxi-Cosi when I have my next baby! Included in the box are the following: * The pushchair itself * Sun canopy * Fitted rain cover * Adapters for Maxi-Cosi car seat * Travel bag The thing I love most about this pushchair is how small it folds down. I never thought this would be so important until I started using it and realised how ...

Review of Quinny Zapp

...that I must have a Quinny Zapp and I haven't looked back since. Yes, it's got a funny name. Plus the absence of a basket to stow your shopping in is a bit of a nuisance (but more on that in a moment). But what the Zapp lacks it more than makes up for in its style, compactibility, ease of use and manouvrebility. 1. Style This pushchair just looks cool. Either in pushchair or travel system mode, it is stylish and I know its not just me that thinks ...
...words to that effect as I walk by. 2. Compactibility At the time of my purchase, the Zapp was the world's smallest pushchair when folded. It is small enough to fit in an overhead cabin on a plane and can even be attached to a bicycle with special adapters (sold separately). 3. Ease of use Its simple and easy - even my pushchair-phobic husband can do it!! 4. Manouvrebility The Zapp is INCREDIBLY easy to push around - it can be comfortably steered ...

Review of Quinny Zapp

The quinny zapp pushchair really is a fantastic innovative design but has two major flaws... read on... To start with I will give you the good points (in my opinion)... It folds up really really really small! - I drove a VW New Beetle Cabriolet and it has the smallest boot ever... this was the only pushchair that would fit in the boot of this car! - And yes, I did lots of research!!! The colour range it comes in are fab, I personally like all ...
...free shoulder bag to pack it into if you get it all muddy when you are out and about to save the dirt getting on your car boot. It is smqll enough to take on a plane as hand luggage, I have tried this, I put it in its bag, put it on my shoulder and off we went - no probs at all, saved me loads of hassle at the airport when I was faced with a long walk and a grumpy 18 moth old! Comes with a raincover which although is a bit flimsy/thin it does searve ...
