We already have a M&P monstrosity travel system and a very very expensive (and huge) proper jogging stroller from Canada (that I really need to use more often), but now I feel the need to buy a travel stroller. Something light and compact that can stay in the car, come on holiday etc. We travel quite a bit so it is more than a luxury really. We took the M&P to Mauritius and South Africa when dd was 5 months old but now she's older (10 months) I think she doesn't need a from birth stroller as much.
I have recently seen a Quinny Zapp in mothercare. It looks really cool, but the best bit is that it folds down to nothing and could even be stored in an overhead bin on an aircraft.
However, style comes at the cost of some function. There's only one seat position and there is NOOO shopping basket. The lack of a shopping basket means that the rating for the Zapp is quite low on the Mumsnet stroller rating, but all other figures are quite high. I think it would be the highest rated if the shopping basket wasn't an issue.
So basically should I go for a good Maclaren Quest (shopping basket and more seat positions) or should we look cool on holiday with our Zapp?
I am favouring the Zapp at present as I am v shallow and like nice things....and I feel upset that I ended up with an M&P bog standard stroller when there were nice things like Bugaboos and Xplorys out there (of which I was oblivious until the M&P was in use)!

Hello,
We've noticed this thread is quite old and some of the product recommendations are a little out of date. We've spent weeks speaking to parents and testing out strollers and buggies. Here's our round up of the best lightweight buggies available to buy now
Hope that helps!
