There are already reviews galore on the Zapp, so I'm just going to post pics of our new orange one, and say how much we LOVE this stroller! The most incredible part is how TEENY it folds... note its travel bag (on the floor in front of it in one photo); unbelievably, it fits in there with no problem!

Contrary to the photos, the fabric is NOT shiny or metallic. The fabric is matte, like the Bugaboo.

We also bought a black footmuff to go with it.

ps- Just a note that while this is considered an "umbrella" stroller and is incredibly compact, because of the sturdy wheels and frame, it's not the lightest stroller on the market. I think it's 15 lbs.

Hi, thank you so much for taking time out to post the pictures and your reviews on both the Buzz and the Zapp. I really appreciate the points that you brought up, e.g. the weight and the size.

They are both gorgeous! When you have some more time, I wonder whether you could measure the handle height of Zapp for me? You mentioned in your Buzz review that your very tall DH is happy with Buzz's handles. How does he like the Zapp? (I am hoping that if your DH likes it it would be enough to convince my own DH who is 6;2") ;-)

Thank you so much again.

Edited to delete questions that you answered already in your other post. Sorry, too excited. Was not able to even finish reading that post about Buzz before I started reading about the Zapp. LOL.

Hi Lin,
The handles are curved, so I measured them at 41" at their tallest point (the top of the handle). Being a shorty myself, I would hold them lower, where they're about 38-39".

DH is THRILLED... handle bar height was the one thing he really cared about. Actually, I don't think he would care if I bought a banana hammock to use as a stroller as long as the handles were tall enough, so I can safetly say your DH will be happy too. :-)

I'm going with the orange! I think a cool looking stroller like that should be shown off in a bright color!

Hi, thank you so much! Now I am excited but it is 5 in the morning, what am I doing? (I just went to the diaper bag forum to obsess about the new Skip Hop...) MUST STOP OBSESSING...

How do you think the Zapp would be for travelling? I often travel alone with the babe, a computer back, and diaper bag, and sometimes a camera bag. I am looking for something relatively light weight, that is easy to fold preferably with one hand. Does it have a basket underneath? How do you think it compares to the Quest? TIA

I want one! Where are you guys all ordering these from? You can only get them overseas, right?

We all go them from Erwin at http://babycare.nl in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, they're not available in the states, and s/h is kind of expensive, so that' why I bought the Buzz & Zapp (and footmuff) at the same time.

I think some people are forming a co-op to save on s/h.... check out the strollerswap club on Yahoo.
