Mamas & Papas Ziko Frankie


Like the Maclaren, the Ziko is nice and light and proved to be the easiest in this test to fold and store, fitting into tight spots better than any of the others. It handles well on the road and its lockable wheels proved useful for handling.

The fabric feels classy (the £160 Ziko Frankie version uses more standard material) and we had the 'Button Box' flavour - a sort of mauve colour with pictures of buttons. Surprisingly, there's no option for handle height adjustment, though the fact that the handles are fixed means that they feel particularly sturdy.

There's no viewer in canopy to view baby while you're out walking, which seemed like a bit of an oversight, not quite made up for by a pocket in the hood for storing milk bottles etc. And as with the Maclaren, the brake system doesn't feel particularly sturdy, and you would expect it to suffer over time. The shopping basket however is of a reasonable size and feels secure.

The ThinkBaby verdict

A classy-looking buggy that's easy to fold and manoeuvre - but you pay for the style.
Performance: 4/5
Value: 3/5
