Quinny Zapp?

Anyone any experiences of it? I have heard it can be prone to tipping and the one position seat can be a bit of a bother if LO like to lie back but trying Stinkerbelle in it she seemed to love it and cried when I took her out in the shop

Especially the claim by rather pushy salespeople that it can travel as hand luggage?

We're off on a few flights soon and after seeing the damage that was done to a friends pushchair when it was checked in the hold if this is true it would be super.

thanks for any opinions/shared experiences

    My friend has one...yes they are prone to tipping..but you can buy buggy weights from Jojo maman bebe which stops this!!

    Folds up very compactly and easily from what I've seen.

    I think one gripe was that it didn't come with a shopping basket (may be wrong...it's past my bedtime & my brain's a bit fuddled!!!)

    We bought one for our daughter and she loves it and so do we.

    The main problem we found is that unlike other pushchairs you can't hang bags off the handles as it makes it likely to tip. If you don't do this then it doesn't seem to tip.

    It folds into its own travel bag and we have found this really useful, as DH can carry it over his shoulder, on trains and tube etc. Never taken it on a plane.

    It does only have one position but our daughter doesn't seem bothered by it and sleeps in it if tired.

    We bought it as it fits easily into my car boot and others are too long, this one can fit in my footwell if need be.

    I have a quinny zapp and we tried to take it on as hand luggage and were refused. That was last year before all the tighter restrictions came in to place .Apart from that I found it really good .
    The kids loved it as the shape makes it comfortable and it is one of the smoothest prams I have ever pushed.

    I have one also, the reason we bought it was for when we go away as its so small I dont have to worry about where it will fit it the car with the other luggage.
    I think all buggys can be taken on flights as hand luggage, you just leave them by the plane steps and they are carried free of charge.

    I agree with the above, they are great little nifty buggys, just dont hang anything on the handles, ds has been tipped back many times (not hurt though!!).

    Oh and he seems to have had no problems falling asleep in it even without the ability to lay back.
    Any spelling mistakes are entirely on purpose to check you're paying attention :p
