petite star zia

[frazzled74]

i have just ordered this for my 2.5 yr ds and am now wondering if i made the right choice. has anyone else got one of these for their older toddler?

We have just started selling these in our store, and there was much ooohing and ahhing!

They are selling well with people who like the quinny zapp but hate the fact that it doesnt recline and has no shopping basket.

It folds up easily, is lightweight and quite small and even tho the basket isnt huge, at least there is a little space for a bit of shopping.

thanks sounds promising.

I have one shoved in my porch dd hated it but I thought it was a good little runaround .
The shopping basket is tiny though .

come back and let us know how you get on with it as I am very interested in getting one

I had one and hated it. The wheelbase is quite long (compared to the Zapp) so it veered badly to the side even on an apparently flat pavement. And that was with a much younger, lighter child in it. It also felt pretty flimsy. I sold it after a week or so and bought a Zapp.

A friend had one for her DD (2yrs) and had to sell it because she was getting bad RSI in her arms/shoulders (again caused by difficulty in steering it in a straight line). The RSI disappeared when she switched to a different buggy.

I much prefer the Zapp - obviously no recline (you can get baskets to fit) but much easier to push, even one-handed, with a heavy child. And I reckoned a recline wasn't so important once they're older.

Sorry, probably not the answer you were looking for!

Sorry, I also hated mine, wanted a recline so sold my zapp. Dreadful lack of quality, felt like it would fall to pieces and at the time my dd was only 10 months. Being now a heavy 2 year old I don't think it would cope! You would be much better off with something like a maclaren quest or triumph, something that will last!

thanks, mixed reviews so think i will give it a go and let you know how i get on.

i also had one on these and didnt like it, handle bars to small and felt really rickety like it wouldnt cope. Also my 10mth old wanted to sit up and look around and your natural position is laid back. I would say a maclaren quest is my fave, folds slim not heavy and handles good height, wash great cant find any faults.
