Quinny Zapp Xtra?

[QwertyQueen]

Hi
just wondering if anyone has used this and how they found it?
I read you can buy the old zapp base and the new Xtra seat to save a bit, are the bases exactly the same?

Thnx

Yes the bases are exactly the same however you can pick a new zapp xtra up for £170. If you buy a zapp and then the xtra seat unit make sure you buy red or black as the xtra seat unit doesn't come with a hood.

Also original zapp doesn't include the basket whereas the zapp xtra does. The only real advantage of buying old zapp and new seat unit is the extra fabrics for the zapp seat to fold in one - but again these can be picked up new for £40 on eBay.

Finally if you buy the seat unit you do not get a warranty so if you buy a cheap used zapp unit and it goes wrong you have no come back.

If I was to buy it I would buy a zapp xtra on offer knowing I had all the basic accessories and warranty - and butthe fabrics for a standard zapp later.

That was the impartial bit. Personally after researching them and playing with them I thought they were bloody awful and save up the extra £150 to buy a bee+ instead

i love my zapp xtra - if fantastic! again looked at getting the old zapp and then new seat unit but as old zapp doesnt have basket and also old raincover doesnt fit the new seat unit very well - so brought the new zapp and will get the old zapp fabric when DS is a bit bigger!

thanks!
It is between the Zapp Xtra and the Bee :)
I think the Bee looks weird, but I am getting lots of positive feedback on it....
We had a zapp first time round and I loved it EXCEPT that you couldn't use it 1 handed and it isn't great on "rough terrain".... hmmmm maybe I should go for the Bee!!!
thnx

The two things that I love about the bee are one piece folding either way, and one handed push. Also in rf the xtra doesn't sit upright, only reclines.

Don't get me wrong, the Xtra is a nice stroller, but if I had a choice it would always be the bee

thanks for the advice, I think you have swayed me :D
