Quinny VNC
Quinny VNC (Vancouver) is a 2020 release - and awarded a iF design award the same year. Inspired by the single-to-double Quinny Hubb, the VNC is a single-only, more urban full-size model featuring bold pastel colors and unique lines along with an ergonomic, spacious bucket-type seat. The original chassis shape makes tackling of any kind of urban terrain, while the lower center of gravity improves its stability and maneuverability.
The VNC allows for use right up from newborn - using the optional ultra-lightweight XL HUX carrycot (using the same hood as the seat unit), an optional car seat with the Maxi-Cosi type of adapters' attachment system, or right in the seat with a Cocoon insert, making the seat surface flat for the smallest of babies. Otherwise bucket-type seat unit is fully reversible and reclinable in 4 positions by tilting it as a whole. Its leg rest is adjustable independently. The VNC bundle includes the cahssis with the seat and the hood as well as with rain cover and a set of adapters, all other accessories are available separately, depending on your needs.

Parent reviews of the Quinny VNC
- The seat
- The basket
- The harness
- The steering/turning
- The bulky fold
I think I expected more for the rather high price. The steering is not easy at all - turning takes quite an effort. Another downside would be the folding - it is bulky and I need to store it in two parts to fit the car boot.
What I do like is the large, roomy seat with an adjustable legrest, the basket of course - it is huge, and the harness that could be fitted to small as well as a large kid.
Because of the driving, I would probably choose differently if I had to choose again. But it is unique and spacious, and the basket 👍👍👍
- Weight capacity
- Large wheels
- Maintenance-feee wheels
- BASKET!!!
- Fits our trunk
- Design and colors
- Easy to clean fabrics
- Telescopic handle could be sturdier
- At first the clicking on the seat wasn't that easy - it takes practice
- Otherwise, it's perfect for us! 😇
I had to have it - the colors 😍 The no-maintenance (but large) wheels, the max. weight capacity 😎. Love the looks. And the frame can handle off-road, too. We have it over 14 months, and we still love it!
- Spacious seat
- Spacious carrycot
- Height adapterts for the carrycot (it is nice and high so one doesn't have to bend much to get to the baby)
- Spacious basket (with good access)
- Pushes well
- Beautiful, original, colorful
- Loose handlebar
- Not that smooth of a fold
- Curb popping could be easier (I think it depends on where you position the handle, however, because my husband never had a problem)
Beautiful and original, and also very spacious for the child. It drives very well. I am just not that fond of the kind of loose handle. It moves slightly and also makes it less smooth to fold.
- fully washable
- non-slip padding of the harness
- high-positioned basket
- large canopy
- pastel colors
- memory buttons
- good also for a taller toddler
- a bit bulky
- one-hand fold is not as easy as it seems in the video
- the handlebar could go higher
It's so cool! Nobody has the same anywhere around. My toddler loves the colors. It's not the best for a tiny car, though.
It's too wobbly for my taste. Also, I would make the leg rest longer. Not easy to put in the car boot - I need to remove the wheels to fit it properly. Getting up a kerb is not easy for me, either. But I like the design, and the basket that even loaded doesn't drag on the ground. Overall, OK, but I guess I expected a bit more from the manufacturer of the safest car seats.
