Quinny Strollers on steps and slopes

[mamamei]

Thank you all for your helpful thoughts and reviews!

I finally ended up buying the Quinny Zapp and MaxiCosi car seat. Having pushed them round Bumps to Babes for about three hours and then round our flat for a couple of days, I am pretty happy with my choice so far. What really clinched it for me in the end was how easily I could fit the carseat in and out of the chassis and carry both up a flight of stairs if I needed to. Big dose of confidence for a new mom who is a little intimidated by the idea od going out and about with a newborn. At the end of the day, I think it made sense for me to have a buggy that I am confident using when I am feeling most vulnerable. If I get a good eight months out of this system, I will be more than happy to trade it in for something more suitable at the time.

Good luck with all your buggy decisions!

Hi Mamamei, I bought one too!

I need to practice my folding and unfolding though, as some of the others in this post said, it is not as easy as it sounds!!

Gidget, I found the chassis folds down a lot easier once the canvas 'seat' is off. I could do it really easily in the shop so I panicked a bit when I got home and couldn't pull the bottom of the stroller into place with my foot. The minute I took the seat off, it was a piece of cake. Just keep practising, it does get easier.

havent managed to take the seat off the quinny zap! Any tips. What do people feel about the Maclaren or similar??

To remove the seat on the Zapp, first you need to undo all the latches that attach the seat to the chassis, then you need to collapse it, but not don't lock it into place. From this position, you should be able to just slip the canvas off.
