Review: Quinny Zapp Xtra

Posted on December 4, 2010July 8, 2016 by jenny

We’ve been using the Quinny Zapp Xtra for the last couple of months now and our third assignment is to spread the word about the Zapp Xtra. As you may know the Zapp Xtra was designed with feedback from Quinny Zapp users. Modifications include a forward or rear facing seat which also reclines and is…

Quinny Zapp Xtra meets its ultimate challenge!

Posted on December 2, 2010July 8, 2016 by jenny

…the snow finally came. I’d been watching the news about the snow fall and feeling left out until last night. About 10pm the snow started falling and barely stopped all day. Fortunately my husband was discharged from hospital today so we decided to take Edward for a walk so he could see his first snow….

QuinnyCasters News #8

Posted on November 27, 2010August 29, 2017 by jenny

I failed miserably at the first QuinnyCasters assignment. My reporting of the opening and assembly of the Quinny Zapp Xtra failed to impress the judges and I didn’t win a prize. So I bought the Quinny footmuff from ebay which I love! It can be used on the Quinny and the Maxi-Cosi car seat so…

QuinnyCasters News #7

Posted on November 10, 2010July 8, 2016 by jenny

When the people at Dorel (who own the Quinny brand) heard that the Quinny Zapp Xtra fell over with the Maxi-Cosi car seat they recalled the chassis to take a look at it. It was examined at the service centre and fully inspected and tested by their Head Engineer. No faults were found with the…

Quinny have asked to have a look at the chassis of our Quinny Zapp Xtra in light of it falling over with Edward in it. So it has been carefully packed and returned to Quinny HQ. We look forward to seeing if they find anything wrong with it. In the meantime, we will be resorting…

Quinny Casters News #5

Posted on October 9, 2010July 8, 2016 by jenny

Today we decided to take the Quinny Zapp Xtra out for a spin in central London. We wanted to go and visit an exhibition at the wonderful Museum of London where I worked a couple of years ago. Here’s my video of my husband unpacking the Quinny Zapp Xtra from the car and putting it…

Not a happy QuinnyCaster

Posted on October 5, 2010July 8, 2016 by jenny

I’m feeling a bit down today as I took Edward out in the new Quinny Zapp Xtra and it fell over with him in it. Quinny said we should be honest in our reviews so I’m going to let you know what happened. I decided to test drive the Quinny on public transport and put…

QuinnyCasters News #4

Posted on September 30, 2010December 15, 2017 by jenny

We took the Quinny Zapp Xtra out today for the first time. We had plans to meet a friend for lunch so hopped on the tube to the other side of London. We had a lovely walk along the Thames, lunch in a great pub, followed by a spot of shopping. The Quinny did us…

QuinnyCasters News #3

Posted on September 29, 2010November 22, 2016 by jenny

With the Quinny Zapp Xtra came the first challenge to record the unpacking of the Quinny. We couldn’t wait any longer so tonight, after Edward was in bed, we opened it. We thought just over 8 minutes to unpack the Quinny and set it up wasn’t bad, especially as Emma managed to put hers up…
