A very good travel stroller for jetsetters September 27, 2007

The Zapp (US version) is a very good stroller for traveling types. The addition of the four-point ride for the US version (instead of the original three-pointer in the EU) has resolved any stationary or moving stability problems. The Zapp is light, but not too light like a cheap, flimsy umbrella stroller you'd find at the dollar store, and thus, it's great for traveling or for small cars with even smaller trunks. It's easy to push and maneuver, and it has good looks.
Will it replace my Bugaboo Gecko? No! It's not as easy to drive one-handed since there is no handlebar, only handles. With the Bugaboo you can center one hand on the bar and maneuver it nicely one-handed. The other reason why my Zapp will not replace my Gecko is the ride. Bugaboos have primo suspension! When I push the Zapp on the street or sidewalk, it's a bit rattly, and the wheels make *noticeable noise* almost like a shopping cart's. At that moment I knew I was missing the utter silence and smoothness of a Bugaboo ride.
Since the Bugaboo does not travel as well (it takes a bigger, longer transport bag), I am recommending the Zapp for traveling and zipping in and out of international subways. Why didn't Quinny call this the Quinny Zipp? Its light weight at around 15 1/2 pounds satisfies although my Gecko weighs only 18 pounds. Its vibrant color is oddly soothing. Its folding has a short learning curve, and since the Zapp comes with a travel bag and a bunch of accessories, it's a *good value* for those who want to combine modern style and futuristic design with travel ease.

We bought this to be the compact/travelling stroller that would compensate for the not so compact Bugaboo stroller that we own. Friends of ours had bought one in a Europe a year ago and talked about how compact and easy to fold it was. Here's our list of Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- Fun colors, overall very cool design
- Compact when folded, takes up minimal trunk space in our sedan
- The four-wheel American version isn't as prone to tipping as the 3-wheel Euro version, which means you can also hold some items (bottle holder, small changing bag) off the handle bars without worrying that the stroller will fall over when you get the baby out
- Maneuvers nicely in narrow spaces, although clearly not as smooth a ride as the Bugaboo
Cons:
- Doesn't recline; our 8 month old still falls asleep in it, but it doesn't look like it's comfortable enough to take her through a full nap of more than one hour on the road; we're planning to buy a SnugHug neck support to see if this makes it more comfortable for naps
- The 3-wheel Euro model has the nice hydraulic "auto open" feature that the Quinny Buzz has, but the 4-wheel American version doesn't; overall, the stroller is very easy to fold-down, but without the hydraulic action, it's hard to open up (hard to explain, but you need to pull out this one piece in the back, and so far we haven't been able to do it without turning the stroller on its side; that's fine if the baby's still in the car, but not if you're just off an airplane and trying to unfold the stroller with the baby in your arms and people trying to get by)
- we were told by our friends that it was small enough to take on board the plane; that may be true, but it's still pretty cumbersome; even with two of us travelling with the baby, it was too much of a pain to carry that plus our diaper bag, plus any work/reading stuff, so we checked it in at the gate

The Zapp is definitely a great stroller. It maneuvers like a dream, is very compact (folded and open), has comfortable handles and an easy brake system (one pedal locks both back wheels). Couple of drawbacks - the seat forces my average-sized seven-month old into a slouchy position that she finds uncomfortable beyond 30 minutes or so. I think this will improve once her legs are longer. The other issue is its lack of cup-holders, but I consider this a fair trade for its fold-down size.
 Ok, but not worth the money September 12, 2007

I have 2 Quinnys, the Zapp and the Speedi. I live in Europe and bought my Zapp here and it happens to have one less set of wheels (strange!) so I am not sure if my review will be as helpful. While the Zapp is very light and folds down very small it has many draw backs. One, I think it may be too light. Sounds crazy I know but its almost like it has lack of control or something, a mind of its own. You always need the break on when stationary. Also, my daughter was in the Zapp facing me and just lightly pushing on my knee and she pushed herself over. Secondly, it has only one position and my daughter also seemed slumped over and very uncomfortable. She was 11 months old when I bought it so she is a strong baby. She is rarely fussy but always fusses when she is in this stroller. And lastly, mine did not come with any shopping bag so storage is a problem. I do like how small it folds and that it comes with a travel bag, which is great for flying. But it is not worth the over $200 you are being charged in the States. Although, the Capri color is very pretty. I ended up buying a Kolcraft Contours Lite Plus with an iPod Dock. So now I have multiple strollers for multiple functions.
 a great stroller - as long as you are not super-tall January 13, 2008

I have the Quinny Zapp stroller in capri. So far, I'm very happy with it.
1) :-): I was so happy that I was able to assemble the stroller myself! (OK, I typically rely on my husband to bring out his tool box, ignore the instructions, and figure it out the manly man way.) I just identified the parts per the manual, followed the instructions, and pop, there it was!
2) :-): Sometimes, us mommies forget how to close or open the stroller, thanks to all the craziness going on. But the Zapp has the parts clearly marked to assist you in closing and opening the stroller. Making it a total breeze.
3) :-0: My husband has a uncomfortable time pushing this stroller because he needs to bend his back a bit, rather than be able to just stand up straight. So if you're tall, don't buy it without testing it out first.
4) :-): They're really not kidding when they say that the Zapp is currently the smallest stroller out there. It takes up only a tiny chunk of space in my Volvo V50.
5) :-O: The storage unit capacity is minimal. And the storage basket is not easily accessible. So think twice before you take your baby out in this stroller on a shopping spree.
Overall, it's a great deal.
