Best Baby Strollers

Are you looking for a unique European stroller that isn’t just another Bugaboo? The Quinny Speedi SX stroller is a great choice. Quinny, a leading manufacturer of baby products in Europe, makes stylish strollers that turn heads everywhere they go. Currently only two Quinny models are readily available in the US: the Quinny Buzz and the Quinny Zapp. Both of these strollers are cool looking, but neither one is Quinny’s best model. Available only in Europe, the Quinny Speedi SX stroller, introduced in 2006, is the only Quinny worth the money you’ll pay for it.

Quinny has taken an interesting tack with its American line. While all the European Quinnys are 3-wheeled, the American version of the Quinny Zapp has four wheels. No doubt Quinny made this decision to address the concerns of parents who found their Quinny strollers to be precariously tippy. Yet, the design of Quinny’s stroller frames really lends itself to three wheels, and it’s sad to see the Quinny’s sleek profile be ruined because of faulty engineering. The Quinny Speedi SX manages to accommodate slick design and stability by using a wider wheel base and lower center of gravity than the other Quinny models. The Quinny Speedi SX has all the hip looks of the Quinny brand without any of its instability. Why spend all that money on a Quinny if it doesn’t look like one?

The Quinny Speedi SX is larger than other Quinny models, but I find this negligible for most US customers. Unlike Europeans who are more likely to be dealing with narrow streets, public transportation, and tiny car trunks, most Americans who can afford a Quinny will have ample room for its larger size. If you live in New York or Chicago, you might do better with a Quinny Buzz, but for the suburbanites, the Quinny Speedi SX is a much smarter choice. Unlike the Buzz and the Zapp, the Quinny Speedi SX has ample storage and can handle just about any terrain you care to push it over. With three air-filled tires, the Quinny Speedi SX is even light and maneuverable enough to use for brisk walks or jogs through the park.

Personally, I want a stroller that can serve me all the time. Quinnys smaller strollers are really meant to be used for travel or as a second stroller. Who wants to pay hundreds of dollars for a second stroller? The Quinny Speedi SX is light enough to take on trips and use when running errands but rugged enough to handle long walks over uneven terrain. It may take some extra effort to get your hands on one, but if you must have a Quinny, the Speedi SX is the way to go.
