Pushchair which can have the Maxi cosi cabriofix car seat attached to it - can you help?

[waitingforbedtime]

I like the Quinny Zapp and its about the right price range for us but it doesnt recline so is vetoed.

In an ideal world Id like a pushchair which is reversible and I know the mothercare one at least is like that but it is roughly £180 for teh chassis and another £180 for the seat so well, well, outwith our price range.

Im willing to give up on the reversible aspect because I just dont think its possible with our budget BUT I really do need a pushchair for roughly the same price at the Quinny which reclines and can have this car seat attached. I want it to be fairly small and lightweight and I like 3 wheels but that's by no means essential.

Can anyone help?

The new quinny Zapp is launched this month which can recline, reverse and take the cabrio fix and should retail around £2oo

Ooh Ooh how do you know this?

We stock Dorel products so we have been kept upto date with this new product. Looks fab and its what the zapp has been missing for a long time. Its called the Quinny Zapp Xtra

I wish I hadn't read this now! I love Zapps and now I will have to buy this on! No photos online though?

icandy cherry is fab maxicosi car seat and seat unit reversible!

The Bugaboo Bee does too, you could probably afford a second hand 2009 model depending on your budget.

Oooh I sooo like the Zapp but not reclining was an issue. Will defo go for a new Zapp Xtra though.

Kelly, any news on pre ordering or anything. Where do you work?

Am excited now, we need a small folder!!! LOL!

Thanks guys

Dont fancy second hand

i candy cherry is definitely too expensive.

Am wanting quinny zapp extra I think! Why is it not out yet though?

What about a Micralite Superlite? They take the Maxi Cosi and are fab little prams. The recline is better on the newer prams, and you can get them for £150 new.

not vsure if these are real pics

Micralites don;t reverse though, do they?

Oooh Misdee, thanks. I looked earlier but couldn't find anything! Looks good!

Had a quick look at the micralite - it looks teeny tiny seat wise?

I want a quinny zapp extra so badly!

Oh but I just noticed that on those images it says launches Sept? Noooooooooo, thats too late for me!

No they don't reverse, but within budget and takes maxi cosi.

Seat on Micralite is huge, my 4 year old can sit in one and has loads of room.

Loving the idea of the zapp though, the pics look good, hope they are the right ones.

i've actually heard its later this monrth/early next month for the zapp xtra.

Thats good to know about the micralite seat, thanks.

Misdee - I called our local stockist theyre saying end July / start Aug.

We have been told the same launch date and have started taking preorders. If you alreay have a zapp you can just buy the zapp xtra seat to convert your existing pushchair.

kelly do you think theyll be hard ot get hold of? Our local stockists isnt taking pre-orders but will call when in stock. I wouldnt pre order anyways as want to see it in the flesh iyswim?

My worry is that I am due early Sept so if its released in aug and they sell out before I get one am I up the creek without a paddle?!

The Quinny Zapp Xtra is going to be more expensive than the original Zapp at £225. Found a great review onwww.pushchairtrader.com

At least this is small pushchair that can be used from birth, so probably no need to invest in another one!

Have you seen the Quinny Casters website www.quinnycasters.com/

You can get a free Zapp Xtra in return for reviewing it.

I have posted the below in other quinny zapp xtra chats as I was so close to buy it and was so surprised to find this out and think it is worth sharing - so I copy pasted it here.
A big con about the Quinny Zapp Xtra:
I checked this in a baby R US and it is absolutely fab, folds easily, very easy to handle, very very light, lovely design BUT you can only put the new born baby in it for max of two hours as the seat doesn't provide a compeletly flat back support for the baby! Be careful as this info is not mentioned by all shop sales reps as it is not formally shared. I digged as the seat is not flat and when you look at it you wonder where you put a new born to have a flat back? The seat is from soft material (no hard back support) and a part of it goes in (where a toddler's bum would sit) and there is no flat space where the baby can sit. To let you visualize, similar to a maxi cosi car seat, the seat is not flat for a new born. So I asked and aksed around and insisted to get confirmation that this is okay for a new born and then the answer was: yes for up to 2 hours and this time includes the time you have the new born in a car seat if your car seat has the same limitation. So if you drive half an hour to somewhere, you can only use the pushchair for an hour as you have to drive back for another half an hour! So be careful!!!

Did you settle on any of the suggestions? I'm looking for a pushchair that's got a narrower wheel base, and which collapses smaller than the My4 I've got (so we can travel with it), but which also takes the Maxi cosi car seat. Wondering if anyone had tried any out?
