GB Zuzu
The GB Zuzu is a modern umbrella stroller aimed predominantly for the western market. The Zuzu is compatible with a car seat and therefore suitable from birth. The urban chassis is boasting 30% more compact fold than conventional umbrella strollers. The well-padded seat can be reclined fully to suit even a younger baby. Another advantage of this stroller is the extendable, ventilated hood and a relatively easily accessible shopping basket. By lifting the leg rest and unzipping the side attachments, the Asana35 from the GB, or the Graco Click Connect and the Chicco Key Fit car seat can be added.

Parent reviews of the GB Zuzu
Your questions about the GB Zuzu
Hi, I wanted to know if there is a way to take off the seat cover and strap to clean them.
Hi, Jen,
Well, yes, apart from perhaps the hood, you can remove the textiles for washing, but it is a pain-in-the-ass process that is not recommended to do unless you are at least a bit technically skilled and also record the whole process on video so that you can check it again when putting it all on. Many have a huge problem putting the parts back on, I mean.
Anyhow, washing the fabrics has its own dangers - fading, tearing, shrinking... and I don't recommend it all all. Rather, I will suggest this article about cleaning and maintaining your stroller I put together a while ago. Be sure to read that!
