Mamas and Papas Ziko or Zoom?

[claireyfairey]

Hiya

Have been looking at buggies and am so damn confused, feel like my head is spinning

I'm looking for a pushchair that is suitable from birth, but one that's good for using on public transport and is not too heavy or clunky looking! If that makes sense.

Currently I've been looking at the Mamas and Papas Zoom, and also at the Ziko Frankie. I wondered if anyone could offer any experience regarding them, or any other buggies they could reccomend??

Others I have looked at:

Maclaren XT Techno
Bebe Confort Loola.....so not sure about this one though!

Thanks in advance!

We went to Kiddicare and tried lots out as I didnt have the first clue what to get. I would reccommend going somewhere and having a real try out of them all if you can/havent already

I have got the Loola Streety with car seat and although it was OH who initially liked it, it has grown on me immensley

OH spent hours playing....oops I mean 'seriously testing' each make and model .

We liked the fact that it folded down and up really easy with one hand AND it is easy to hold whilst folded (definate essential on a bus) A car seat fits straight onto the frame IYKWIM, sensible shopping basket, forward and rear facing seat that reclines flat (a lot dont do this suprisingly).
The only thing that I will say about it is there are lighter prams on the market BUT they do seem to be more filmsy and being able to hold it well with the handles on the side more than makes up for this IMO. It folds quite small too

Im really happy that I have got a pram that I will be able to use till LO is out of prams and got it at a bargin price to boot which makes us even more happy

I have the Ziko Frankie- I really like it. It's really quick and easy to put up and down too.

It lays flat so can be used from Day 1- Evie will sleep in hers for hours if we go for a walk!
