|  | | Posted: 23/06/08 | | 'GOOD CHEAP BUGGY THAT FOLDS REALLY EASILY AND SMALL' | | Strengths:
Folds and unfolds really easily. Lies back into any position you want. Has a good hood and raincover has an opening to get to the baby easily without taking the whole cover off. Great colours. Easily removable wheels to get into a smaller space. | | Weaknesses:
Small basket that you cant get to when baby is lying down but this is the case with most buggies so i expected this. Flimsy cheap feel quality to it similar to the cheap feel graco pushchairs, stiff wheels. No grip on handles to push. | | Overall:
This has been compared to the quinny zapp, yes it is very similar but has an adjustable backrest and basket which is great, but the quality is very different, this has a much cheaper feel to it. I have had the quinny zapp which i loved but baby hated it as she hated being constantly upright and it was hard to fold so this zia changes both of those problems as its loads easier to fold and unfold and has the adjustable backrest. I am disabled and cannot use my legs easily so the fact this folds really easily just using your hands is great! It also has a clip that holds it together when folded which is great as thats another thing the zapp lacks. The front wheel comes off easily to make it easier to get into the car or a small space too. I am very glad i sold my zapp to buy this instead. Buyers with boys beware Cranberry is bright pink NOT red!! |

| | | Posted: 11/06/08 | | 'BEST PUSHCHAIR I HAVE EVER USED' | | Strengths:
Incredibly light, portable and easy to steer. Is a doddle to put up and down. Takes up hardly and space and have encountered no problems eg bits dropping off like my last pushchair | | Weaknesses:
Feels light and not particularly substantial, my Mum thought it felt unsafe because of this | | Overall:
Brilliant pushchair for travelling and also daily use. Has been a godsend as it takes up hardly any space when folded and I love the fact that it is freestanding. Having only a tiny car there was only this pushchair and the Zapp that could be considered and this one won hands down just having the shopping basket and lie-back features which are brilliant. Have now been using this pushchair for over a month, my son loves it and I have encountered no problems. I would recommend this pushchair to everyone. |

| | | Posted: 12/03/08 | | 'SLEEK, STYLISH, PORTABLE & COMFY!' | | Strengths:
Lightweight, folds down small, fully reclines, stylish. The additional cosytoes foot muff is lovely and snug. | | Weaknesses:
Small shopping basket that's hard to access if the seat is down. | | Overall:
Good-value, looks great and my daughter is very comfortable in this. It folds down very small so fits in our car boot easily (VW Polo). The wheels can come off to make it even smaller. It's lightweight so easy to move around, reclines so your little one can nap easily, and is just an all-round great pushchair! |

| | | Posted: 11/09/07 | | 'EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY AND EXCELLENT QUALITY' | | Strengths:
small,easily maneuvrable, good quality value buggy | | | Overall:
Got the petite zia delivered today and i have to say i am very impressed and excited about this buggy.
It folds a little wider and longer than the zapp, but not too much. The fabrics are of very good quality with loads of padding. The frame is aluminium and very sturdy, its design although almost identical to the zapp, has very small deferences (hence a bit larger) that make sure that it is not easy at all to tip this buggy, unless you seriously misuse it.
I was impressed with the little details of this buggy that make it unique, for eg. the fact that the strap which allows the seat to recline has velcro so it doesnt get in the way and that the raincover has a seperate window for quick access. The raincover protects not only your child but also the whole buggy and basket leaving very little of the lower part of the frame exposed. It is very fast to put on and stays on securely leaving no gaps. The seat reclines, almost completely horizontal but i am sure it would be fine even for a newborn. It does not sit bolt upright but if you tighten the strap at the back tight enough from both sides it is only slightly reclined and i think much more comfortable than the zapp that pushes the child forward. The buggy also freestands which is very handy for storage.
The wheels are of good quality much as a maclaren. The handles are ok, a bit bulky but comfortable to hold. The breaks are also better than the zapp (its breaks could unlock easily and sometimes did not lock at all) and lock securely. The basket is enough space for bits and pieces plus the raincover. The basket also sits on its own frame so it's really easily accessed as it stays open. The folding and unfolding mechanism are really easy and straightforward.
I cant think of anything negative about this buggy, except maybe for the fact that it doesnt have a bag to go with it. Its excellent value for money, excellent quality of materials, and if you are wanting to buy a small city buggy that fits in any car but has all the features of larger buggies then this is the one! |

Value | | Weaknesses:
Not sure how well a newborn would fit in it as my 9 month old still seems a little small for the harness. | | Overall:
Being a new mum and only having owned a mothercare travel system before the zia i don't really have alot to compare it too, but even with my very limited experience i can safely say this is an excellent stroller!!
It arrived in a very small, light box and all i needed to do was pop the wheels on and we were ready to go!
My 9 month old daughter sat in it looking very pleased with herself, the seat looks very comfortable with plenty of growing room - i can see it lasting her a good while - the harness looks a little high on her shoulders and a little long at the crotch at the moment so not sure how well a newborn would fit in it but when tightend she sits in it very safely.
It is very light to push, brilliant around the shops when you compare it to a bulky travel system, and there is even a small shopping basket which is really quite small but you can get a few small bits of shopping in it!
The recline on the seat is the best thing about this stroller as my daughter refuses to sleeep in the pushchair unless she is lay back and this does the job very nicely indeed!
In all i love the look of this stoller but i love the price of it moer only £99!!
I am really pleased with the recline on the seat, how light it is and how easily it folds/unfolds. It even fits behind the drivers seat in my 3 door focus so would be perfect for a small car or for taking on holiday.
A very highly recommended buy! |
