ABC Design Zoom
The ABC Design Zoom is a versatile tandem stroller. The rounded chassis is equipped with a suspension system and a large shopping basket. The length of the chassis allows you to add either two carrycots, two seats, two car seat or any combination in whichever direction. The stroller is therefore suitable for twins from birth as well as for siblings with a small age gap.
The bucket-type seats can handle even bigger children. The rear seat sits a little bit higher on the chassis so that both children can have a good view. The hood of the carrycot and the seat is quite short, but you can extend it by a first, or a second (unzippable) sun visor. You can even change the look of the seats by adding optional accessories in various colors, such as the seat liner (2015 version came with the seat liner included), bumper bar cover or a different hood.
The carrycots are very spacious, especially for a tandem stroller. You can add two carrycots onto the chassis, but the one at the back will need a heightening adapter. You can also choose each carrycot in a different colorway. This tandem stroller is also compatible with one or two car seats or one or two Doozy carrycots that can also be used in the car instead of a Group 0+ car seat.

Best Deals for ABC Design Zoom
Parent reviews of the ABC Design Zoom
I had one of these when they first came out and it was amazing! Being able to put the older child at the back with you (either facing towards you or away) makes it much easier to go up and down curbs etc. Then the baby can face towards you at the front.
It was so good that I considered having another baby just so that I could use the buggy more!!!!
- Easily detachable parts, can be unfastened without assistance of a second person
- Handle without bending, but can be adjusted
- High quality materials
- Folds nicely into the car for how big it is
- Beautiful design and elaborate details
- Very large and long
This double pram has served us very well. The price is a bit higher, but it certainly matches the quality.
When choosing a double stroller, we were most concerned that the individual parts such as the bassinets, car seats and seat parts and that they were easy to detach, and that I could do it myself without help. It was also important that the handle does not have a bend system, but is solid - so there is no risk of it breaking when lifting the stroller on a curb, for example. Good quality and secure car seats fit on the frame - we had Maxi-Cosi Cabriofix.
The only downside is that it's huge - it's really long and you have to watch out on the corners.
- Folding
- Size
- Variability
I am satisfied. We were able to fit it everywhere.
- Variability in the use of the separate parts (car seat, seat unit, bassinet)
- Large shopping basket with a reflective element
- Mesh part of the hood
- Wide choice of colors
- Height-adjustable handlebar
- Difficult maneuverability when entering/exiting pavement (getting up and down curbs)
- Seat unit not suitable for a bigger and heavier child
- Rusty wheel screws
Since my daughters have a very small age difference, I was looking for a stroller with a comfortable seat unit and large bassinet clicked on at the same time. The Zoom meets all these requirements.
The bassinet is truly super spacious, and I also like the seat unit. The seat units can be clicked on the chassis so that the children face each other but also face the opposite directions. The seat has 3 different positions. Even though 2 kids ride in it, it is rather easy to push. However, both hands need to be used for pushing, which seems logical for the type of the stroller. A spacious and easily accessible shopping basket is great for big shopping (even our baby bike fits there). The shopping basket has a reflective element. A mosquito net is sewn in the hood. I noticed that during the wet weather, the screws on the wheels started to get a bit rusty.
It is suitable for the city as well as a village. I do not recommend it for uneven pavement. For storing the Zoom you will need a lot of space. However, I don't regret purchasing it 😉
