 The Good, the Bad, the Truth Feb 06, 2012
By JaziMom@Home
I really wanted to love this stroller. I reviewed several strollers over three months and decided on this one. My final decision was narrowed down to the First Years Wave and this stroller. First, let me state that I do not hate this stroller. I am a first time mom of a charming 10 month old. I purchased this stroller when my son was 8 months. This stroller has some major positives and negatives.
Positives--
1. I love the idea of the compact fold. I also love the reversible feature of the stroller. I wanted a stroller that I could use in a variety of settings. We travel monthly as a family; whether we are undertaking a 5 hour drive to Grandma's house or a flight to the west coast, we needed a reliable stroller. We have a baby trend jogger. It is too large and cumbersome to take anywhere other than the park. I drive a large SUV. The jogger stroller takes up over half of the storage with third row let down. The compact fold of the Quinny is perfect.
2. I can remove the front two wheels to make it even smaller.
3. My son is very comfortable in the Quinny. I love to take him to the mall in this stroller.
4. The stroller is fairly easy to maneuver and can support one or two bags on the handles.
5. The stroller is very fashionable and eye-catching. My husband does not mind pushing it.
Negatives--
1. For the price, I expect more...this is an expensive stroller, I expect to get a travel bag, some accessories, or at least a bar of some type for my little one to grab on to.
2. The stroller has a compact fold...but it has a learning curve. The other reviewer is correct. This is not the stroller you want to be caught in the rain with. It is trouble on wheels. I researched numerous Youtube clips of moms collapsing and setting up this stroller. It is not as easy as it looks. I will post picks later demonstrating this. I thought that my stroller was defective for awhile. But, after reading similar reviews I have found that this is a common problem. My father in law, my mother in law, my husband, my brother, and my sister all had difficulty setting up this stroller. My jogging stroller may be large, but it fold in a snap! It seems relatively simple. You push the one button then the two button and the top is suppose to collapse. This has happened 70% of the time. However, the 30% of the time that it did not was horrific. I had to press the one and the two at the same time in order to get the frame to collapse. ***Okay, now lets talk about the worst feature on this stroller...the push in step at the bottom. I have nearly slipped several times attempting to push the bar in to collapse the frame. The frame collapses without problems 50% of the time. The amount of time it takes to get the stroller up and running with baby is ridiculous. Remember the clips I discussed on youtube... this is not that stroller 50% of the time.
3. I want to discuss the reversible seat. The seat takes some time to click in initially. It has to click in a certain way. This frustrates my husband to no end. He is a technically savvy guy. He prides himself in his ability to put anything together. He has managed to put all of our son's furniture together and toys. However, the seat snap agitates him. The whole process of taking the stroller out of the car is a chore. We have a total of three strollers... the jogging stroller, a cheap umbrella, and this Quinny. The Quinny is slowly becoming our least favorite.
Overall, I have had this stroller for the last two months. It is adequate. However, for the price I could have gotten something much more substantial. I am actually considering selling this stroller on ebay. I think the stroller is average at best. For all the expense, the fold and fit has no functionality. I would have been better off spending the extra money and getting a luxury stroller. I hope this helps. Again, I want to state that I do not hate this stroller...but, for the money I was expecting more substance. Pictures will follow.

 Love this stroller...it grows with Baby! Jun 19, 2011
By BusyMominSanDiego
I just received my Quinny Zapp Extra and I must say I'm in love. I have a few strollers already (a Graco Snugride Frame, BOB Revolution and a Maclaren Quest) but this Quinny is definitely the best all around stroller. My Snugride frame has been my best friend for the first 3 months of my daughter's life but now I could tell she was getting a little cramped in her car seat and wanted more space while we're running errands, shopping, etc. Our BOB is a great exercise stroller but it's big and bulky (especially with the car seat adaptor) and even when folded down takes up a lot of room in my trunk (and I have a large SUV). Finally, we haven't even used our Maclaren yet because she has to face forward and I don't think either of us is ready for that...enter the Quinny. In my book the best thing about the Quinny is that the seat can face you (and reclines) and then later can face the world (when you're both ready). It's easy to maneuver and a great size. The sunshade is phenomenal (very important in San Diego). The one thing about the Quinny that is hard to get used to is the two piece fold. The seat comes off and the base folds separately. Though this might be a little difficult to get used to this is also what allows for the baby to face you in the beginning and eventually face out. My only regret is that I didn"t get it sooner.

 I love the stroller but like every stroller it has its faults Mar 31, 2011
By LeoMom
I recently bought the Quinny Zapp Xtra (Rocking Black) and I love it. Its really compact and it easily fits into my car without taking up much room. Unlike the Quinny Zapp, you can hang sum light bags on the Xtra handles without it falling back. I love that my son can both see me and the world with the reversible seat. No cup holder (not a big deal, you can order one). The sunshade is large so offers great protection from the sun. My son falls asleep as soon as he gets in it, so its very comfortable. It can lay flat but i do not recommend for parents with young babies unless you buy the carseat because this is a two handed fold stroller. I love the safety straps because there not so easy for a toddler to unbuckle. The one press brake is also a plus. Now to the down side of this stroller. NOISY!!!Stroller makes to much noise on pavement. Also would of liked if it was a one handed fold. If you're caught in a rain and trying to fold it, its torture. The basket is ok but not great for large diaper bags. Its not very sturdy but ok if your baby likes to be bounced to sleep. Overall I think the Quinny was a good buy but I do think the price is a little high and thats my review of the Quinny Zapp Xtra.

Fantastic stroller Sep 02, 2011
By SS family
Dear parents,
We purchased Quinny Zapp a month ago, just before our family went for a trip to Europe. Our daughter is 9 months old and we desperately needed a lightweight, travel stroller that is of an attractive design. Our older daughter liked it because of the color (red), we loved it for the design. The seat has three positions which is additional pro and we used it as high chair (position two) and as a crib (position three). Our daughter slept in it totally comfortably at the beach and during our long strolls.
The only drawback we found is that once folded, this stroller makes two pieces of luggage. The first piece is the frame which folds (Zapps) well. Once the wheels are taken off, the frame fits into a regular hand bag. The second piece is super light and can be carried by any kid. Our stroller was a main attraction when the flight attendant allowed us to take it with us to the cabin as opposed to other families with umbrella strollers that did not fold so well. I think we did a great promotion for Quinny on that flight ยบ.
All in all, our family would highly recommend this stroller. It is fantastic value for money. You will have fancy looking, functional, lightweight stroller, very easy to use and navigate through either tourist or city crowd.
Best,
SS family

Quinny Zapp Xtra moves overseas! Dec 27, 2010
By Hailey J Fralic
I was on Amazon looking for accessories for my Quinny Zapp Xtra and thought I would write a review. I got my Quinny Zapp Xtra in the UK as soon as it came out!! I love this stroller because it is so lightweight and easy to zipp around places. I do find it hard to move around with one hand if I am multitasking. The stroller is a two part fold, so the base folds up super small and the seat does not fold,but lies fairly flat. We flew over here and hoped to take it on the flight with us, but because it was a two part fold we had to check it in. My babe loves being in this stroller, which amazes me, she hates being pushed! She loves to be lying back looking up at mom! All in - Great lightweight, zippy stroller, perfect for moms and dads on the move!
