Pros:
Small when folded, easy to steer, cool looking. :)
Cons:
No storage basket, fold is two step.
|
|
Since my MBUS was taking up too much trunk space in my Camry, I needed something with a more compact fold. The Quinny Zapp came to the rescue! I love how compactly this folds. I agree the folding took a few tries to master.. it is NOT a one-handed fold.. but once you get a hang of it, it is pretty easy.
I love the foot brake on it... very easy to use.
There is no recline option on the Zapp but that does not matter for us. There is no basket but I knew about that.. hanging bags on the handles makes it tippy so I don't recommend doing that. Maybe it is just my Zapp but the seatbelt takes a little bit of maneuvering to unlock. Also, I wish the straps could be tightened more.. even at the tightest setting, my daughter is not completely secure imo. This would be important if you had a squirmy toddler.
Overall, I love this stroller. I hardly ever use the MBUS now and should sell it!
If you are looking for a compact stroller for quick trips and something permanent to leave in your car, this is the stroller for you!

Pros:
Great steering, toddler loved it, good for tall parents
Cons:
Tippy when brakes are engaged, awkward fold, no basket
|
|
I really wanted to love this stroller! Really, I did! The steering was amazing, and even my 6'4" husband could push it comfortably. My 39" 33lb toddler loved sitting in it. But the unfold was so awkward and time consuming - it required too many steps and too much bending to the ground. Plus, it didn't latch closed when folded (unless you put it in the carry bag). I was most disappointed by how tippy it was. If I had the brakes on, my toddler could easily push off of a wall, table or chair and send the stroller tipping backwards. Note that we do NOT have this problem with our 2001 Maclaren Vogue, probably because the center of gravity is lower on the Mac.

Pros:
Compact fold, great steering and comfortable ride
Cons:
Clumsy fold/unfold, harness gets stuck and no basket
|
|
This is our stroller of choice right now, mainly because it is comfortable for my son, is small and compact and steers wonderfully. It is definitely a stroller that gets noticed for its sleek look. My son is very happy in it - more so than any other stroller we have had.I have had some problems with the fold/unfold of the stroller - it is really cumbersome and annoying. I can deal with getting in and out of the car but wouldn't want to tote it around public transportation having to fold and unfold often. Recently, I've had trouble releasing my child from the harness - it gets stuck. I'm not sure why this happens but it's hard to engage the unlock button sometimes, which can be ridiculous.I wish there were a storage basket but I have had no problems hanging bags on the handles when my child is sitting in the stroller - it has never tipped for us.

Pros:
Great steering, large seat and small fold
Cons:
No recline and no basket
|
|
The Quinny Zapp is an awesome stroller for kids that don't need to be reclined. It has the best steering of any stroller I've owned. It folds up small enough to fit in the tiniest of cars. (You can actually fit two of them in the "trunk" of a Mini Cooper.  ) Plus the seat is generously sized, so that older kids are comfortable. Both my 17 month old and 3.5 year old enjoy riding in this stroller. My only complaint is the lack of basket. Love, love, love this stroller!

Pros:
it folds ups very small and very easy to maneuver
Cons:
it doesn't recline
|
|
We bought the Quinny Zapp while visiting family in the UK after Virgin Airlines was kind enough to throw our Bugaboo around the tarmac breaking the chasis.We've been very happy with the Zapp. While the Bugaboo is being repaired I've used it everywhere and I walk all over town a lot (about 5 miles a day). I like that it folds up compactly and that I don't have to check it at the gate when flying since I'll never trust that airlines with a stroller again. I also like that I can push the Zapp one handed while drinking iced coffee and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It has a coolness factor since we have yet to see another one as we walk the streets of Cambridge/Boston and the suburban malls... people frequently comment on how cool it is. The drawbacks to to the Zapp are 1) the seat doesn't recline and my son is only 5 months old and frequently falls asleep on our walks 2) it can be bumpy on the brick sidewalks. Other people may not like the lack of storage but that doesn't bother me.We paid 130GBP for the Zapp.
