I noticed that Amazon didn't have many reviews for the new Quinny stroller, the Yezz. If you are looking for something small that travels wellapartment dwellers or jetsettersthis stroller is a must. We have 3 strollers. The Baby Jogger Elite which is great for our trips to the beach, or a park (trails, etc.) but it takes up the entire cargo area of my Jeep. We have the Quinny Zapp Xtra that we purchased initially for the car seat adapters that fit our Maxi Cosi Mico infant car seat. I got this stroller on sale and at the time I didn't think I'd need an umbrella stroller but thought for the price it made more sense than buying adapters for the Elite. We got so much use out of the Zapp. But it was still bulkier than we'd like. We struggled when making room for it at a restaurant, etc. The Zapp takes up half of my cargo area in my Jeep, it's awkward to carry (even in it's travel case) but it was the best travel stroller around... until now. The Yezz was a gift I received at the Albee Baby Trunk Show this weekend. I was blown away at how light and compact it is. It's easy to maneuver and solid not flimsy as it may appear at first glance. It has no bells and whistles like the Zapp (no raincover but sold separately, no carry case but not necessary) but it is exactly what I've been missing. It stands on its own for when we go out, it simply folds in one step and can be carried on our shoulder (a kid could carry it IT IS SO LIGHT), and takes up hardly any room at all in our car. Great for trips to the West Coast, great for running errands, going out to eat, going into the city (any public transportation)... It is a bit pricey but you're paying for the innovation! It's brilliant. For those that are new Mommies and Daddieswait a year and see if the price of the 2013 goes down. You'll be glad you did. I am so lucky to snag one of the first ones. We got ours in the color, Yellow Move. It's the best!
This is a really light stroller (11lbs) and the maneuverbility is good. However, for the price, it should do more than just be a basic umbrella stroller recline, reversible seat, storage basket or pouch, adjustable handles, larger canopy, peekaboo window, something! For $280 it does the same thing that my $30 umbrella stroller from BRU does, except for maybe the nice wheels and the super compact fold. However, I'd rather go with my 7lb cheapo stroller than lob out $280 for wheels and a compact fold. Speaking of the fold, it is compact, but the mechanism you have to go through is not sandal or "nice shoe" friendly, which may be important to some parents who want to protect their shoes or toes. Also, a backpack strap and handle option would be great since the versatility of carrying it was one of the selling points (it only has a shoulder strap); unfortunately, that matters little since there are parts of the wheel and frame that jab into my back when I wear it. It does stand on its own and has a relatively small footprint. This may work for families looking for a basic umbrella, but if you need more for the money, I wouldn't recommend.
