Hi Tiggywunkle
Hope you don't mind me posting to you directly but you seem to know your prams! Would you recommend qzx for a second time mum's newborn? Want something light and easy to fold etc as I'll also have a toddler to contend with!
Thanks

I had one when my baby was only a month or so old. I liked it to some degree but new Zapp chassis are sooooo stiff (compared to our other well used one) and TBH it drove me mad. No matter what I did, it hurt my arms to put up and down. I generally say to people buy a second hand chassis, strip the fabric off and buy the Xtra seat to go on top.
I also bought a Bugaboo Cocoon - the best thing I ever bought.....because the Xtra seat is fairly exposed (even with a summer baby). The hood is small and the seat is flat and open. It worked fab with the cocoon though.
If you intend to use a car seat as well - then don't! Buy two cheap chassis and use one for the car seat and one for the seat. I lost my seat adaptors switching between the two modes and they cost me over £30 to replace!! I couldn't afford to keep doing that when you can pick up a second hand chassis for around that!
I have to say, I moved to a Baby Jogger City Mini after that and it was bliss in comparison.
