Mamas&Papas Ziko Frankie
The Mamas&Papas Ziko Frankie is a modern, minimalistic umbrella stroller in cheerful colors and patterns, produced in collaboration with Peg-Pérego. The wheels (front are single) feature a soft suspension system and are easily maneuverable on smooth, urban surfaces. Thanks to the spacious seat that can be reclined flat, this stroller is suitable from birth. However, due to the length and missing padding of the harness, the Ziko Frankie is more suitable for older children. The stroller comes with a rain cover and an apron included.

Parent reviews of the Mamas&Papas Ziko Frankie
Best stroller ever made. I wish they still made this one. Strollers nowadays are of a cheap built. But the Frankie is strong and lightweight and glides along :)
- Amazing colours
- Swivel front wheels
- Eady umbrella fold
- Lightweight
- Durable
- Easy to push
- Looks beautiful
- No cons
Amazing stroller! Please bring them back? I had this stroller 14 years ago with my first born when she was a toddler and I absolutely loved it. It was strong, easy to push, lightweight and easy to fold. I was hoping to find another one for my youngest daughter but because they are discontinued I'm sadly unable to aquire one 😔 xx
This was the best stroller ever made, I wish they'd still made them. A mother of 7 children so I know.
Your questions about the Mamas&Papas Ziko Frankie
How can we close this stroller?
Hey, A,
I am attaching the Mamas&Papas Ziko Frankie stroller manual where you can also check the folding system. The whole process is very similar to other umbrella buggies, though - to brake, fold the canopy backward, push the rear bar with your foot upward, and push the handles forward.
What is the length of this stroller when folded please
Hiya, Joan,
It is about 105 cm of length (x 28 w x 27 d).
