ABC Design Zoom Air
The ABC Design Zoom Air was released in 2017 and comes with all-terrain, air-filled wheels. The Zoom Air was released together with the basic, more urban version Zoom. This award-winning, versatile tandem stroller features a rounded chassis equipped with suspension and a large shopping basket. Moreover, the Zoom Air sports a minimalistic design, melange fabrics, and leatherette details. It allows you to add either two carrycots, two seats, two car seat or any combination in whichever direction. There is also an option to add one seat or carrycot with an additional shopping bag in the place of a second one, acting as an extra shopping basket.
You can extend the hoods on the carrycot and the seat by unzipping an extra panel. The bucket-type seats are spacious enough even for bigger children. The rear seat sits a little bit higher on the chassis so that both children can have a good view. 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. 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.

Parent reviews of the ABC Design Zoom Air
- Spacious bassinets
- High quality
- Beautiful design
- Easy manipulation - even though it is a bigger stroller system
- Extendable hoods
- It does not fit in some elevators (with two bassinets) - even in some shopping malls. It can fit everywhere, however, using car seats only
- It is harder to access the shopping basket when using two bassinets
Really great stroller system. Its quality can be seen at first glance. I do not regret this purchase.
Your questions about the ABC Design Zoom Air
The front wheels lock on my ABC tandem, any I find it hard to push. Any ideas what's going wrong?
Hey, Noreem,
Try a bit of maintenance - cleaning and oiling them. HERE is an article about maintenance of your stroller I wrote, and there are some tips and tricks.
Other than that, you will need to contact the seller / brand because there may be a fault in that area.
Is the back wheel of the ABC Zoom stroller rotational or it is fixed? For example, the front wheels are rotating at 360° and it can be kept linear by clicking down the side buttons. Overall, how is the maneuverability?
Hello, Osira,
The back wheels of this pram are fixed, they do not swivel, no. The maneuverability is, well, not bad, but not bad for a tandem. It is a looooong stroller, so you need to take that into account. It turns nice, but as the children grow, their weight will be felt, the maneuverability and curb-popping will get harder. But that is the case of all tandem double strollers. In any case, it drives slightly better that some other tandems as the long base will make it harder in narrow aisles, but the center of gravity on normal sidewalks will be a but better-placed thanks to its length.
