Product review - Quinny Zapp Xtra

Today we give our opinion on the pushchair we have used with our boy since he was a few months old - the Quinny Zapp Xtra.

We, like most families, spent a long time deciding on our pushchair of choice. We took many things into consideration such as size, mobility, comfort and positions. Cost was also a consideration but a little lower on our list. 

As we live in Brazil we decided that we would be using our pushchair for walks around the village and when we would go to the shopping centres. It is not normal for people to use pushchairs in restaurants or town centres so we would fit in with the culture and do as others do (also the streets and shops are not prepared for pushchairs).

We knew we wouldn't be using our pushchair on public transport as there are no adequate ways to do that in our city.

With all these considerations in mind we settled on the Quinny Zapp Xtra. One thing we really love about this pushchair is that it is suitable from a very young age and with the inlay can be used from birth. The pushchair has 5 positions both front and rear facing which is great for when your baby is tiny and also to recline an older child if they have a doze. It is easy to recline and doesn't disturb a sleeping child. 

One drawback to this pushchair is that it is in two parts. The base folds down very neatly but the seat is quite bulky. For us it is not a big problem as we use the pushchair in select places but I can imagine having to fold it down to get on a bus would be quite a challenge if you are alone. I do know that Quinny have now released the folding seat so I assume this would solve the problem but as we have managed for our first son we will just manage for our second son too!

All in all we are really pleased with our pushchair and have had no desire to trade it in. It has done 18 months for our first guy and is still in really good condition. It is simple to clean and hasn't scuffed around the frame at all. To find out more visit the Quinny website.
