“awful, hate it, dont buy”

★☆☆☆☆

written by heather87 on 13/11/2013

I got the quinny zapp Xtra for my then 19 month old daughter 4 months ago, i hate this buggy, its seat unit is so small my daughter has now outgrown it already, it is so low it gives me back ache and im not that tall 5'5, it is so stiff to fold down i have to kick it to shut, i cant hang anything on the handle or i end up kneeing it while i walk, the basket is basically non existent i keep the rain over in it but that's all i can get in it, the rain cover itself doesn't fit properly as it is for the original zapp and they never made a new one for the Xtra, the brake comes on by itself if u go over a stone or even a pile of leaf's on the floor. I have had a few buggies in the past as i have a bit of am addiction but i can honestly say i have never hated a buggie like i do this one, complete waste of money and now have to go and spend more on one my daughter can actually fit in. DO NOT BUY! ! ! !

“I'd never reccomend”

★☆☆☆☆

written by hollietiana on 06/02/2013

I bought the quinny zapp for my little girl as its a nice looking, small, lightweight stroller, howvever when I used it my views changed. My little girl is 15 months old and adverage size, & she looked to big for it when she sat inside, when I tried to get her in the pushchair was tipping backwords, and was not stable at all! When I was in town she was sqeeling to get out as she was so un-comfy, and then she fell asleep in it and because it doent even recline a tiny bit she was all slumped & sliding down the pushchair with the straps digging into her neck. I decided this pushchair was unsuitable so I got rid of it and bought a petite star zia which looks the same, but reclines all the way to lye down posision, the seat is much wider and I love it!!! So I would not reccoment anyone to buy this Quinny zapp!!!!!!

★★☆☆☆

written by on 10/05/2011

The manoverability is good and it folds down well but as with our quinny speedi the strap adjustment is totaly useless unless you feed your baby junkfood every day and it is seriously overweight dont buy this. our little fellah was constantly slipping out of it and needing lifted back into place, we tryed using numerous cussions to wedge him in but to no avail. if it wasnt for the size it folded to it would be a total waste of time. 2 stars

“We bought the Quinny Zapp Xtra because we wanted a...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 13/04/2011

We bought the Quinny Zapp Xtra because we wanted a lightweight, collapsable stroller for flights, but still prioritised the option of a parentfacing seat what could be reclined for our baby's naps. But in parentfacing position the seat can not be set fully upright and our baby is not comfortable lying down when awake. We ordered the stroller online, Mothercare did not have it in store, and the sales person in the store clearly hadn't seen it irl. She did not inform us that the seat is not collapsable at all, which makes it very awkward for flights. She said the Zapp Xtra had better suspension than the Zapp, but the chassis are exactly the same for both. The brake often only locks one or the other of the wheels, not both. The wheels made of plastic ar very noisy and the stroller does not go in a straight line forward even with the front wheels locked. I have to hold the handles very tight to adjust the direction in which the stroller is going which in fact makes my wrists hurt! I'd say it's a stroller for indoor use, like shopping centres, but not even for walking from the car park to the entrance, because the baby bounces uncomfortably in the seat. We even bought an accessory Zapp seat because we weren't happy with the Zapp Xtra. On the Zapp the harness isn'n height adjustable and therefore does not fit our 10 month old baby. The canopy of the Zapp is also smaller than on the Zapp Xtra and does not give adequate shade. All in all, both the Quinny Zapp and te Quinny Zapp Xtra are huge disappointments and I wish we had not bought them.

written by on 06/02/2011

I was going to buy a Quinny Zapp Stroller for £230 from the Glasgow Pram Centre but decided to have a shop about first and I am pleased I did. I got one for almost £100 less online here http://pushchairsandcarseats.blogspot.com/2011/02/quinny-zapp-stroller-rebel-red-was.html.

I love the Quinny Zapp Stroller, I got the Rebel Red one.

★★☆☆☆

written by on 10/04/2010

I bought this pram as i wanted something compact & light now my daughter is getting to big for her quinny buzz. I bought the zapp as i love my buzz & thought it would be a good trade off. Well its lovely to push & it looks great however when my child wanted a nap it was awfull. no recline ment her neck & her were bent over & she looked very uncomfortable. I would not reccomend this pram if your child has a tendancy to fall asleep while out & about.
It folds down really small which is fantastic, its not all that light tho.

“The good things about this Quinny Zapp buggy is that...”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 17/09/2009

The good things about this Quinny Zapp buggy is that it folds really small and very light, lovely to push it takes the corners beautifully and looks smart too. I wouldnt say its any good for everyday use.
Bad points are that there is NO storage space what so ever and are not able to hang anything on the handles, even says on the box you cant put anything on there. Bit of a pain to fold up, very tricky to get the hang of. Does not lay down or recline at all so not very comfortable when little ones are sleeping head lulls about a bit. Would not of paid £140 for it if i had of known all this.

“The Quinny Zapp is an excellent pushchair, I never...”

★★★★☆

written by on 28/07/2009

The Quinny Zapp is an excellent pushchair, I never thought I would say this about the Zapp but it is.
Firstly it folds small enough to fit into an easy to carry bag, and its not really difficult to fold it either.
Secondly it is fantastic to push, very light and turns very easily, even using one hand!
Obviously the Zapp does not have any reclining positions but i found this not to be a problem, I purchased the Zapp when my little boy turn 12 months old and he fit the pushchair perfectly and when he fell asleep in the Zapp the two padded harnes strap covers held his head in place and he still slept very comfortablely, so no reclining positions isnt really a bad point.
The Zapp doesn't come with a basket you have to buy that separately but I bought a pram shopping net from my local baby store which suited me fine.
I have read other reviews on the Quinny Zapp and some of then say they have had problems with the Zapp easily tipping up with or without baby in, I haven't had this problem with my Zapp.
I would definately recommend the Quinny Zapp for anyone with babies 9 months plus.

“I love that the Quinny Zapp has gorgeous colours, is...”

★★★★☆

written by marivigi on 21/07/2009

I love that the Quinny Zapp has gorgeous colours, is very attractive and different looking, is sturdy (aluminium frame), has nice padded long straps, is easy to remove and clean covers, is very compact when folded, (although it IS a two hand fold and it takes some getting used to),comes with a raincover and a storage bag for easy travelling (we have even taken it on board the cabin for some trips, it fits in most overhead compartments), its VERY easy to manouver and although it has small plastic wheels it is very easy to push (much easier than the mclaren triumph) and the ride is smoother than with the mclaren.
I also really like the way the handles are placed, I dont find the mclaren triumph's handles comfortable, however, the zapp's are just perfect!

What I dont like about the Zapp is that it doesnt recline, and yes, I know it is stated, however the stroller could be almost perfect if it reclined!! The hood is very small and has lots of viewing windows, I love the viewing windows, but you can forget about sun protection!, and finally the fold, I love it when folded because its so small and can fit almost anywhere, however you do have to push several buttons and use both hands (someone who is not familiar with the buggy could spend hours figuring out what to do) and unless you place it inside its bag it can open since it has nothing to secure it and no carrying strap....

However, as a second/lightweight/keep in the car/ use in the airport/ etc.. buggy it is a GREAT stroller...

Also, we used it the first few months with the Maxi Cosi carseat, as it comes with the adaptors, and it was a dream to push :)

★★★★☆

written by scotsmum on 08/06/2009

I am very happy with my Quinny Zapp, I have had no less than 20 prams/buggys over the past few years. I am surprised by the amount of negative comments from people complaining about the no recline, I mean that is clearly stated before you buy! It has gorgeous colours, very attractive, sturdy, nice padded straps, easy to clean covers, very easy to fold and unfold, very compact when folded, lovely storage bag for easy travelling and keeping buggy clean. Easy to manoever.

“I like the Quinny Zapp quite alot, I needed a small...”

★★★★☆

written by on 08/04/2009

I like the Quinny Zapp quite alot, I needed a small pushchair that wasn't heavy to push (as I have back problems) and lightweight and this fitted the bill perfectly! Its bad points are that it doesnt recline and my little boy would love it to for his naps. I have been considering a Petite Star Zia pushchair as its almost excatly the same except it does recline, but having read the reviews on here, I do not think I will bother now as altho it reclines it does not allow baby to sit up straight either which my 1 year old would hate lying down constantly -So until they build one that does both Im going to stick with the Quinny Zapp very light, easy to push stroller. You can also buy baskets for underneath (One Each side) and also a 'Stroller' bag which is like a big ruchsack that fits on the back securley-If you use yours to go shopping I highly recommend buying the bags as any food bags on handle will make it tip.
Would recommend

“The next step after pushchairs are strollers. Babies...”

★★★★★

written by Kahanka on 08/01/2009

The next step after pushchairs are strollers. Babies love them as they can see in front of them when being pushed around. We went for Quinny Zapp, one of the lightest strollers on the market, easily folded and the most compact you can imagine. It is true that the seat does not recline, but Isabelle used to fall asleep in it without any problems and did not look uncomfortable. I would recommend this stroller to parents who travel a lot.

“When I first got the Zapp for my son I was delighted...”

☆☆☆☆☆

written by shoogah01 on 06/01/2009

When I first got the Zapp for my son I was delighted with the style and seemingly sturdy build but after a few months it all went wrong.
The brakes were the first thing to go, they didn't click off fully so would rattle round the wheel and eventually couldn't walk 5 minutes without the brake jamming on and tipping the buggy forward.
The center of gravity is so bad that you can't even hang a tiny change bag on the back without the whole thing falling backwards.
The seat doesn't recline so it is certainly not suitable from 6 months as stated.
The rain cover does not fit and has no room for a growing child's feet.
The frame cannot be secured when it is folded so it is a nightmare to carry or move when folded.
The sun canopy can't be secured in an upward position so any gust of wind just flattens it.
Overall I hated this buggy so much that I put it out for collection with the rubbish as I wouldn't wish the disaster of it upon anyone and bought a petite star zia when my son was one year old. Needless to say my son is now 3 and the zia is still going without a problem.

“I borrowed the quinny zapp from my sister as my car...”

★★★☆☆

written by muddyblackcat22 on 18/11/2008

I borrowed the quinny zapp from my sister as my car seat fitted on and it was easy to use after a c section. In this mode it's brilliant the only thing I would say is that I find it quite unstable as it can tip back easily propelling the baby face first towards the floor in their carseat (even with nothing on the handles) Always ensure the handle of the carseat is up just incase this happens.
My sister was disappointed with it as a buggy as the seat doesn't recline and my nephew outgrew it by the time he was 2 and a half as the seat is quite small.
It is a dream to push though and great for small cars.

“The Quinny Zapp is only suitable for small journeys...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 30/09/2008

The Quinny Zapp is only suitable for small journeys and I can't take it shopping cause can't hang bags on it, the raincover seems a shockingly bad fit. If you buy the bag the basket etc to go with it you end up spending an absolute fortune on this and I just don't think it's worth it at all. I would only recommend this if you have extra cash to spend on another pushchair for when you get fed up with it tipping backwards and waiting for ages for it to unfold!

★★★☆☆

written by bethtlove on 18/07/2008

this buggy looks fantastic-pushes so brilliantly-lightweight and smooth.the only things are that they have no basket to put things in,although I bought one from ebay and its fab! it does feel a little flimsy to me but it is very nice and my daughter likes it-but it doesn't recline for a toddler to nap. I feel it is a lot of money for not much except good looks.
