Quinny Freestyle 3 XL

This product has been discontinued.

I loved this one. I've had over fifty and this is one of the best.

Had been struggling to push a hefty 3yo in something else and then this turned up and was heaven! Really good weight distribution for a heavier child. It was a breeze to push.

Swivel wheel still meant some lifting on tight corners but not hard as the weight was in the right place. Beautiful quality, eminently cleanable, raincover was naff though, looked like a giant greenhouse/bubble - get your own! Footmuff was gloriously soft. (Better than most)

just very well made. only slight problem was handlebar screws coming loose and falling out sometimes - Dorel UK sent spares out for free though. Keep a few in stock!

That sounds mad but it is worth it for the quality and ease of use. It stores nicely - positive folding and stays shut.

Shopping basket was pants though. ; )

This will last for years as its so well built and the seat is very large so a 4 year old would easily fit in it! Its well padded and easy to adjust to recline. The hood is large but could do with a viewing window so you can check on baby. The basket is a good size, the suspension is great so if you walk alot of jog its lovely. There is a hand brake as well as a footbrake and both are very good. The tilt wheel is a nice touch but doesn't go round bends as easily as a swivel wheel so you have to lift the pushchair as if it had a fixed wheel. Its very wide which makes it sturdy but no good in my local shop or on any public transport. It wont fit through a standard sized doorway either. To fit it into my boot (astra) i have to remove one rear wheel, which i admit is quick to do but a bit of a pain. It takes up my whole boot so no room for anything else. Its large when folded so you would need lots of room to store in the house. Its also heavy to lift so not recommended often! If you are into walking though and want a pushchair thats built to last this is for you! Its great for muddy or uneven ground and looks good too! I felt proud pushing my son around in this. The front wheel does rub on the inside of the hood when folded so you need to make sure its clean before folding it. I kept the pushchair up though as i had the room so wasn't a big problem! When my son is sat in a pushchair he is lazy and leans to one side, and in some i have found his head is leaning on a metal bar. With this the seat is very well padded on the sides too so very comfy for baby! Not suitable from birth but you can buy a carrycot or carseat which can be attached to the frame for an extra cost.

A great pushchair if you walk alot, not so good in the car or shops!

I loved my Quinny, it was like the Rolls Royce of buggies! Superbly comfortable for the child, really well made, easy to clip car seat and carry cot in. I found it easy to stear, fold and take wheels on/off. On the down side it's heavy, wide, the front wheel folds down in to the canopy making it very dirty if you've been off road and the smooth tyres punctured very easily.

Fantastic pushchair, really roomy comfy seat, which can face either way. Has steerable wheels rather than swivel, but easy to push once you get the hang of it. The large air filled tyres make for a smooth ride for baby.
