Happy Campers
Easy to assemble, light and colorful. We all enjoy taking it on our shopping trips and my Grandson loves to look at his surroundings. It provides a great sitting position.

Great Stroller
This stroller is great. It turns and maneuvers awesome. It has taken me a little practice to fold it, but it is easy once you learn. I bought the Maxi Cosi car seat to fit on it and it is very easy to attach it. I would reccomend this product.

certain issues
I like this stroller. Very handy, very small when folded. Nice color. Your can take it to anywhere!!
But:
DOESN'T RECLINE and if you have a big baby like me, it will be small for the child as soon as she/he gets to 8mths.

NOT SAFE!!! DO NOT BUY!!
Not a very safe stroller for the money I paid. I bought this stroller to take on vacation because of the so called "ease of use." Although it does fold compactly, it isn't the easiest stroller to fold while standing in an airport security line with 2 small children. You need BOTH hands and feet to fold this stroller. I thought this troller was really cool until it flipped backwards with my 26lb one year old IN IT!!! This has happened to me numerous times. YES, I did have a SMALL bag hanging on one of the handles but NOTHING heavy enough that would make the stroller flip backwards with my child IN IT!! I called Quinny and was told that it clearly states in the instructions never to hang anything off of the handles. NOT REALISTIC...I don't know anyone who doesn't hang a bag on their stroller handles from time to time. The cost of the stroller is not worth it and the customer service was even worse. I am not one to complain about products or service but this is ridiculous. OH and the seat doesn't even recline. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

Love my zapp! Great with the maxi cosi carseat snapped on as well!
This stroller is fabulous. It folds up small and comes with it's own travel bag. I use it all the time with our maxi cosi carseat and it's even better for airplane travelling because you can just wheel it and the carseat up to the gate and gate check them. It's very sturdy for a light stroller and easy to maneuver.

Stroller travels around the world!
Like most babies, mine was under 20 lbs her first year and fit in the MaxiCosi car seat very comfortably. You do have to buy this car seat separately, but it is one of the safest rated by Consumer Reports. With her frequent napping, the car seat attachment was especially convenient moving her to and from the car or plane without disrupting her nap. This stroller survived monthly flights - gate checking was easy and the car seat went with the baby on the plane and into the rental car. The wheels are easily removable, but the whole thing zips into its carrying case. Fitting into different rental cars was the key issue. When I downsized from a SUV to a compact, the stroller only took a third of my compact's trunk. The carseat attachment and zip-in seat take only minutes to change. You can always leave the bottom half zipped in with the carseat on top. Last thing about the stroller using the carseat: the handles fold 90 degrees, perfect to pull the baby up to a restaurant table facing the party.

Cons about the Zapp: there is a small storage basket beneath, maybe too small. You have to be creative about attaching toys. When you brake, only the left rear wheel locks, though maybe that's changed. You need 2 hands to fold, but it's a cinch. The seat does NOT recline for the ultimate napping. With the small size, shock absorbers and fancy wheels are sacrificed, so only smoother surfaces for small infants.

Nowadays, I just use the stroller (without the MaxiCosi carseat). The material seems to keep the baby cool and clean ups are quick. Unlike other strollers that sell accessories a la carte, this stroller comes with several covers that you will suddenly realize are useful. The thing turns on a dime and takes very little space - think lines at the bank and at stores. Since you can navigate with one hand, you still have a free hand!

Great stroller if you are downsizing for an older baby
EDIT** Mine is the 4 wheeled version. Not 3...

I just purchased this stroller as a replacement for my $500 Valco Baby Trimode (with additional jump seat that makes it a double.) My 4 year old no longer needs a stroller and my 19 month old baby is becoming more and more mobile every day. I was sick and tired of having a giant, heavy stroller take up my trunk!!!!! So, (as my husband puts it) I traded in the Escalade for the Carmengia. This thing is great!!! It really cruises, folds so small, looks amazing, and my confinement-resistant son loves it!!!!!!! You definitely can't put bags on the handles, so its not a pack mule in the way that many strollers are, but it does have a small basket underneath that holds a few small shopping bags or a little diaper bag and I was able to find a little mesh bag that velcros low down on the stroller back so as not to mess with the balance. It turns and pushes so well that when I have had a few bags in my hand, I was able to maneuver the stroller with ease.

This stroller is perfect of you are looking to ditch all the cumbersome baby gear and travel light~

GREAT if downsizing strollers because your baby is getting older!
I bought the $200. Quinny Zapp in Mandarin to replace my giant $500 Valco trimode with toddler seat (which I sold) because my 4 year old doesn't ride in a stroller anymore. Having a giant, heavy stroller take up half my trunk was driving me crazy! So! As my husband puts it, I traded in the Escalade for the Carmengia. This little stroller really cruises! It turns with ease, folds so tiny, looks amazing, and has a nice wide seat, so my confinement-hating 19 month old actually enjoys riding in it. (He also enjoys sitting in it while watching TV...)

I bought a cute little stylish phone case that velcros to the handlebar to hold my phone and money (because you can't hang anything heavy from the handles or it will tip) and a stroller bag that I velcro low on the back (so it doesn't affect the balance) to hold some small shopping bags. It comes with a little mesh basket underneath that is big enough for one of those little take-along diaper bags, and maybe a bottle and a snack.

The bottom line, this is an AMAZING stroller if you want to ditch all the giant heavy baby gear and travel light around town.

Form and function? Very close to perfect, but...
We were looking for a packable stroller that we could stick our daughter in, lug just about anywhere in the world, but with better quality than the average umbrella stroller on the market today. When my wife first saw the Quinny Zapp on another website, she was smitten. After purchasing through Amazon and the obligatory minimal assembly you will have one really cool looking piece of rolling kidlet couture. It's almost guaranteed to have admiring parents running up and asking about your unique take on a stroller. It folds into its own bag and is fairly transportable but is not as compact as we'd hoped. Other downsides to the Quinny are that the back does not recline for comfortable napping and the underside storage basket is miniscule. This storage area won't even hold the storage bag due in part to the reinforced bottom panel of said bag. The positives are pretty big, however. The Zapp is super manuverable over just about anything short of sand and turns on the proverbial dime. It's so smooth, you really have to experience the operation to appreciate it. The other high point is the height of the grips. I'm 5'11" and the handles are at the prefect level for me. If you've ever pushed a stroller that forces you to scrunch down, it can be a nightmare on the back. Again, this is not our primary stroller but what we chose for our traveller. The benefits do outweigh the lows, but I wanted to add this review for a balanced point of view.
