Wish I Had Bought an Umbrella Stroller,

This review is from: Quinny Zapp 2009/2010 4 Wheel Stroller (Baby Product)
I bought the Zapp for an international trip. I wanted a smaller and more lightweight stroller that would be easier to travel with. The stroller did fine on that trip but I haven't used it at all in the months since because it's just not that functional. Overall I've been really disappointed with it and I'm probably going to sell it to buy a G-Luxe or Maclaren for my more general use.
What I don't like about the stroller:
1. It doesn't recline. In addition to the stroller not reclining, your baby sits very upright in this stroller, almost like sitting on a perch more than like sitting in a chair so it's very uncomfortable for your child to nap in it. This was a huge negative when trying to sightsee during nap time. If you're buying a stroller for use while travelling, seriously look into getting one that reclines.
2. It's heavy. So it folds down small enough to put in a duffle bag, but once it's in that duffle bag it is really heavy and really...Read more

This stroller is stylish, easily pushed, and folds down for convenient packing. But these features are by no means exclusive to this stroller. I recommend that you keep in mind that *other* strollers offer these features. Having owned the Quinny Zapp for over two years--and having lived on both coasts and in the midwest as well as having travelled extensively--here's what I think parents should know.
Weather: This stroller performs horribly in poor weather. The stroller places the child in a remarkably upright position, which isn't itself a problem. Yet the Zapp leaves the child exposed to the elements. The cover that pulls out over your child is high and, for some reason, a bit small. This results in a cover that does not shield your child's eyes from the sun and does not shield his or her legs and torso from rain and snow. The cover, to be frank, is virtually useless. (Only the back of my daughter's head was protected from rain.) I suppose this is why the...Read more

Works Well, Looks Great,

This stroller functions well. We like how lightweight it is, yet how solid the construction. It rolls and functions well. It is a breeze to push, even with one hand. It fits perfectly in the trunk. It was confusing when we first started using it, but after reading the instructions this quickly became a breeze to fold.
The tipping problem isn't serious--just don't hang anything from the handles. The problem is not when he's in the seat, it's once you get him out of the seat the balance goes away and it's wheel's up pretty quick. But there's a storage bin underneath the seat that's average size. We don't carry a lot of stuff with us so this isn't an issue.
The one thing I wish this did was recline. There is no reclining option. But my child loves how comfortable the seat is. When we have it unfolded in the house, he's constantly going over and sitting in it and laughs.
We haven't had any problems on flights. We never take our strollers onto...Read more
