Best Baby Strollers

If you have your heart set on a Quinny pushchair, the Speedi SX may be your best choice. All Quinny models are fashionable and sleek as well as easy to push and maneuver, but the Quinny Speedi rises above the Buzz and the Zapp with some thoughtful features the smaller pushchairs lack.

Quinny makes 3-wheeled pushchairs. This design has plusses and minuses. On the positive side, Quinny’s compact 3-wheeled pushchairs are very light and easy to maneuver. Parents are always happy with Quinny’s performance in this area. However, Quinny’s smaller pushchairs, the Zapp and the Buzz, are so light that they tend to be unstable and tip easily. The Zapp and Buzz also have a small plastic swivel wheel in front that doesn’t handle rough terrain well. Quinny has addressed this problem with the Quinny Speedi SX pushchair. The Speedi SX has three air-filled pneumatic wheels that handle bumps, kerbs, and rough road extremely well. Because the Quinny Speedi SX’s wheel base is slightly larger than the Buzz and Zapp, the Speedi SX doesn’t tip easily and is much more stable, even in snow or sand.

Another complaint about the Quinny Buzz and Zapp is that they don’t have enough storage. The Quinny Speedi SX comes with an adjustable shopping basket that can hold everything you need for a day out and about. Even a very small amount of weight hung from the handles of the smaller Quinnys would cause them to tip backwards. The Quinny Speedi SX is longer and more stable than the Buzz or Zapp, so you can hang shopping or a nappy bag from the handle without worrying about it tipping over.

Quinny admits that the Buzz and the Zapp are designed for light use. Neither pushchair is meant to be an all in one transport solution. The Quinny Zapp doesn’t even recline, and the Buzz is too small for most toddlers. The Speedi SX, on the other hand, really does work in nearly all situations. Unlike the Zapp and Buzz, the Speedi SX can handle all sorts of terrain whether its cruising city streets or strolling through the woods. The Speedi is comfortable for kids and parents alike with a spacious seat and an adjustable handlebar. The Quinny Speedi SX comes with both foot and hand brakes, making it ideal for walking on hills and over rough pavement.

The Quinny Speedi SX pushchair does have some drawbacks. Like the Zapp, the Speedi doesn’t recline, although the seat is tilted back slightly (which older kids may not like). The Quinny Speedi SX is also a little larger than other Quinny models when folded, but in my mind the benefits of a slightly larger pushchair outweigh the loss of some space in the boot.

The Quinny Speedi SX in only average in value. A complete travel system with pushchair, carrycot, and car seat will cost about £480. That’s a lot of money, but the Quinny Speedi SX will last for years and perform through multiple children. All in all, the Speedi SX really is Quinny’s best pushchair, even if it isn’t their most stylish or innovative.
