Quinny Zapp Xtra

Goodbye QuinnyCasters

Posted on February 28, 2011July 8, 2016 by jenny

For our final QuinnyCasters challenge we were asked “How do you say goodbye to your QuinnyCaster period?” I asked my son what he thought and we decided to hold a teddy bear’s picnic with our Quinny Zapp Xtra as the special guest. We sat round our blanket and ate cake and drank fizzy pop. We…

Pram junkie

Posted on February 11, 2011August 29, 2017 by jenny

When I was pregnant I naively thought that I’d have one pram which would see us from birth to the toddler years. At 10 months Little Man has three pushchairs: Bugaboo Cameleon, Quinny Zapp Xtra and a Maclaren Quest Sport. Looking back through some old pictures I realised that I must have inherited this pram…

Sleeping beauty – Quinny Zapp Xtra style

Posted on January 17, 2011July 8, 2016 by jenny

The latest QuinnyCasters challenge is to photograph our little ones in their Zapp Xtras in an interesting or unique environment. Sadly I’m a Zone 3 suburban mum and the most exciting place we usually go is Brent Cross. However when I was looking through my recent photographs I found this: My son snoozing in his…

I’m so excited to tell you that I’ve finally won a QuinnyCasters challenge! Our third challenge was to use all possible online means to tell the world about our Quinny Zapp Xtra. Well I love a challenge and set about reviewing the Zapp Xtra on my favourite forums and websites, including Netmums, Mumsnet, Mums the…

Guest post – Quinny Zapp Xtra review

Posted on December 31, 2010October 30, 2025 by jenny

As part of the latest QuinnyCasters challenge I invited a fellow QuinnyCaster to write a guest post about her experiences with the Quinny Zapp Xtra. Sabina writes over at Mummy Matters: Describe the Quinny Zapp Xtra in three words – Lightweight, Versatile, Funky Marks out of ten? – 8/10 What’s your favourite feature? – I…

What do men really think of pushchairs?

Posted on December 30, 2010August 14, 2019 by jenny

What do men think of pushchairs? We have a very trendy friend who only ever uses one hand to push his son around but I’m pleased to say when we’re out and about my husband does his fair share of pushing. So I thought I’d ask his for his thoughts on the Quinny Zapp Xtra:…

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…
