Babystyle Egg Quail
The Babystyle Egg Quail is a stroller released in late 2017. Egg Quail is based on the Babystyle Egg. Luxury can be found not only in the execution of leatherette details of the textiles, but also in the details of the tire tread with quail foot patterns.
The Egg Quail is lighter and has a compact fold. You can also fold it with one hand even with a mounted seat. The seat can be reversed or reclined flat, suitable even for infants that cannot sit independently. It also comes with the backrest insert providing extra comfort. The type of the seat without leg rest resembles the well-known high-end Bugaboo Bee. You can regulate the height of the harness by adjusting the lever without needing to remove and reinsert them. When adjusting the height of the harness, the height of the stroller hood is also adjusted, ensuring that even a taller child won’t outgrow the stroller soon. With the optional car seat, you can create a travel system.
For stylish moms or dads, the Egg Quail offers an unprecedented possibility to change the magnetic panels on the rear part of the backrest. You can thus adapt your stroller to your taste or outfit. There are 10 patterns to choose from.

Parent reviews of the Babystyle Egg Quail
- compactness
- reversible seat unit
- extendable hood with good coverage
- high-quality materials
- high price, compared to how badly it pushes
- seat unit shape - the child falls out the seat and doesn't sit properly nor securely in it
- no bumper bar
- no ventilation mesh
- terrible driveability, and noise on uneven roads (e.g., in a park...)
I bought it as a pushchair for travels and visits (to the grandparents, etc.). Compactness-wise, it's really great for that - the fold is quick and easy, and you can easily carry it in one hand. That's, however, the only good thing about it.
The child is not secure in the seat - it slides down all the time and feels loose and clumsy. I tried adjusting and tightening up the harness the most I could - but it didn't help. The push is also bad - it's only ok on manicured sidewalks and smooth surfaces. Any cobblestones or bumps in the road make it rattle so hard, and the child is shaken quite hard. A simple curb is also a problem. Overall, the manipulation with the pushchair is difficult and uncomfortable.
To compare, I also own a Joolz Day, which I use as our everyday pushchair - and the difference is so big you can't even begin to describe it.
I cannot recommend this model - my child is more hanging in it than sitting... A wrong choice for us. The Quail from Egg is not a success, design-wise - we used it twice, and I can say for sure - never more. We will probably give it to someone - I cannot even make myself sell it, because I consider it useless...
