Pushchair is very easy to assemble and folds down and pops up easily. Gorgeous design. (I have the pink fizz zia) Very light to carry which is a bonus for lifting in and out the car. It also folds quite small. Has adjustable handle height. Feels sturdy when my daughter is in the stroller and is very light to push.Just and alrounder really. Cant fault at all :) (read more)

I have just bought the zia4x and am so pleased with it. However I can not comment on durability as it is new. It feels much sturdier than I anticipated based on its weight And following the reviews of children tipping the buggies I have gone for More stable zia 4 rather than just Zia as the front wheels are a bit more spaced Out, all the tipping complaints are from the Zia, it is a light weight Triangular shaped buggy that needs its main weight at the back, if the heavy child leans...

I've bought the new model the Zia X and we are very pleased with the Zia. The suspension is amazing for a lightweight stroller! My daughter really enjoys sitting in the stroller, she looks very comfortable. The adjustable handles are amazing too! Dad can push the stroller too with a straight back. My baby can look out when the canopy is closed but I do find it hard to look in from above so the see through mesh doesn't function very well as a peek a boo window in my opinion. I was surprised...

I have searched high and low for a stroller that was compact, easy to handle like my Bugaboo was but more convenient and compact when folded. After much searching I decided to go for the Petite Zia X. When I got the pram home I loved it, the colour was bright and the spotted hood and liner really set the pram off. After having this stroller for only 4days, my 21month old daughter was sat in it and leaned forward, to my horror the whole stroller tipped up and came down on top of her with her... (read more)

Petite Star Zia 3 wheeler - best stroller. I bought this stroller over a year and a half ago and its still going strong. I was a bit worried when I saw the many and varied negative comments about it, but can honestly say that my daughter has never tipped it up, the wheels have never come off and it is pretty sturdy for a stoller certainly much better then maclarens or other such four wheeled umbrella fold strollers which all of my friends have.

As she likes to walk but still gets tired.

I noticed alot of reviews whinging that this pushchair tips easily. If you are managing 2/3 bags on each handle and it still has not tipped up (like sooo many others have stated it doing) then it questions what they are exactly moaning about. I have a tall two yr old and in need of something she is going to be comfy in. You have just helped me decide. =o)

I was given this for my 2 yr old after her 3 yr old grew out of it. Got to say I'm not impressed with the very low handle bars or the tiny basket underneath!
It's not very sturdy and I don't feel safe pushing it.
The only good points I have are the size, the seat is deep enough for my toddler to sit in it comfortably and it's easy to manoeuvre without taking too much room up in shops/on public transport.

We purchased the Zia Plus in January for our 15 month old daughter. I have had several other makes of buggy in the past and this is the best by far. It is very light and small which leaves room in the boot. It collapses very simply. The raincover is extremely easy to fit (especially if it's pouring down on you!). It has a good size seat and reclines nicely if she goes to sleep. The Zia Plus also boasts handles that can be extended (handy for my 6ft husband). The ONLY negative is that if... (read more)

I bought this pushchair when my son was 18 months, as our previous pushchair had to be retired. It was recommended to me by a friend, and I wasn't disappointed.
It's extremely light, with excellent suspension, there is plenty of space for my now two year old son, who is very tall. It seems comfortable, it's very easy to fold and it's easy to clean.
The handles are a little low, the shopping basket is quite small, and the raincover is a bit annoying, but those are minor flaws.

I have had the Petite Star Zia for about 18 months and am happy with it on the whole. My son seems to be comfortable in it and falls asleep quite happily. The recline mechanism is a bit fiddly but fine once you get used to it and better than the quinny zapp which doesn't recline at all.
