Review: Quinny Zapp Xtra

By | December 7, 2010

We’ve been using the Quinny Zapp Xtra for the last couple of months now and we thought it was time to spread the word about the Zapp Xtra.

As you may know the Zapp Xtra was designed with feedback from Quinny Zapp users. Modifications include a forward or rear facing seat which also reclines and is suitable from birth. The Zapp Xtra is sold with car seat adapters for all Maxi-Cosi infant seats, a hood and rain cover and the (optional) Zapp basket.

Edward loves the Quinny Zapp Xtra and finds it very comfortable and sleeps soundly in it. We always have the seat rear-facing but I like the option of having it forward-facing when he’s older. Over the colder months we have found the foot muff an essential extra although it is expensive. We would also love a drinks holder :)

It’s great for daily use although it’s ability to carry much shopping is limited. Due to its lightweight nature you can’t hang shopping from the handlebars and the shopping bag can only carry a maximum of 5kg. This is a shame as we like to shop locally.

Overall, we found the Quinny Zapp Xtra took time to get used to as it is so different to our Bugaboo Cameleon which is modular and customizable, but it is great for light use around town.

    makes very interesting reading. We have the Mothercare Curv, which we've never been entirely happy with. If we wrote up the pros and cons like you have done, I don't know if the result would end up positive or negative… I guess I will have to try as it definitely has pros and several cons…
