I need a new pushchair - i like the Quinny Zapp - Do i really want it?

[katzg]

My mamu pushchair broke this morning, front wheel snapped off.

DD2 is 17months so i need to replace my pushchair. I'm happy to buy secondhand and want to spend up to £75 on a new pushchair.

I've always liked the look of the quinny zapp but are they any good?

I really don't want a maclaren.

no

there are good but i find it that you struggle if you wanna push it on the grass (park) or the beach as the wheels are so small (my friends got one), also i put my dd in it and she looks like a 5 yr old as she was too big for it (she is 25m old)

quinny zap??
that that really ugly one isn'y it??
that doesn't recline and doesn't have ashopping basket.

No you don't want one of those.
They are rank.

Get a 30 quid buggy from mothercare/toy rus/ where ever and buy your self soem new shoes with the change.

thanks!

but i like the pretty colours!!

it does recline and you can buy a shopping basket off ebay seperatley but ive got a year old maclaren XT and its the best buy ive ever bought xx

oops! mistake!!....yes it doesnt recline but it does fold up very neatly

Can't have a maclaren - the pram shed at nursery is full of them and DH will bring the wrong one home!!

it is good but it has no shopping basket and tips over really easily.
I had to get rid for that reason
WE got a M+P Alfie Ziko instead and it's grand

i quite fancy a pulse, it was on my short list but bought the mamu instead (was half price in Argos sale - no why now, they break!!!!!)

I have never heard of the Alfie Ziko. Thought it was rhyming slang for Pliko .

I've got a Quinny Zapp and it serves it purpose for me. It's not the most pratical in terms of it not reclining and no shopping basket but it is zippy or should I say zappy. Fits in my boot nice and compact.

What's the alfie ziko got then?

I love the Zapp. It is so easy to push even one handed around supermarkets. And that's with an almost 3 year old.

But yes downside is that it doesn't recline, so maybe not ok if your little one likes to sleep in buggy a lot.

we only use our buggy for getting to nursery, trips into town, other wise she walks, she is a good walker. i was attracted to the smallness of it. i have got a big mamas and papas 3 in 1 which i am about to sell but its too big for the nursery run.

Also noticed that Zapps seem to hold their value, they are selling for quite a bit on ebay.

I like my zapp - squishes small, easy to steer. Not had tipping up problems, or grass problems tbh. DS seems to sleep in any position

I have a Zapp.

I got it because FunkyDude does not sleep in a buggy and I live out in the sticks so only need it when I drive into town. It is compact and quick to fold and easy to store next to all your shopping.
