Quinny Zapp Flex

The Quinny Zapp Flex is a successor of the Quinny Zapp Xtra/Zapp Xtra 2.0. The Flex is based on the original Zapp, but features a new, modern design with color-coordinated handles and a simplified fold. The shape of the three-wheeled chassis is the same as for the inferior Zapp Xpress.

The main difference is the reversible bucket seat, which can be tilted in both directions from an upright position to a full recline. The breathable fabric of the backrest is slightly reinforced. Another original feature is the non-slip, rubber harness padding. The seat is spacious even for bigger children. When paired with an optional newborn insert, a car seat or the Zapp Lux carrycot, you can use the Zapp Flex from birth. The carrycot can be added directly onto the chassis. Thanks to memory buttons, you can remove it using one hand. The carrycot comes without the hood as the hood from the seat unit will be shared with the carrycot. On the other hand, the bumper bar comes with the carrycot and needs to be transferred onto the seat unit when needed. Alternatively, you can purchase the bumper bar separately. Many other accessories are available: the summer canopy with mesh, a changing bag or a changing backpack, a travel bag and an extra shopping net that can be added to the chassis. As all of the Zapp X models, the Zapp Flex can be fully customized. You can build your model by choosing the color of handles as well as colors of the seat unit, carrycot, and the Maxi Cosi car seat.

Your questions about the Quinny Zapp Flex

1)

How upright is this stroller? Is it more upright than the babyzen?

Hi, Zo,

Yes, it is MUCH muore upright than the Babyzen Yoyo. It is not 90 degrees but the whole seat shape is good and on the upright side of things. My son was actually pretty happy in this one.
