My Zapp is at the end of its life. I LOVE my Zapp. I want a light weight stroller for everyday use and travel. DS2 is 40 lbs. I don't need a recline.

I have a mac quest which we use for DS1. I am ok with it but would like something similar to the Zapp in handling.

Suggestions?
Thanks!

What about a Mac Volo?

Volo.
I loved my zapp too. I don't think people realize that it actually handles better than a Mac. Like one pinky steering. I ended up selling it though as I thought the Volo was just more practical for travel and it's so lightweight.

I'm not a Zapp fan. But how about the BJCM. The Volo would be a good choice, but no recline.

Oy the Volo ... Ok any other ideas? I get that it is light but I don't love the steering.

How about the Peg SI?

Is there a reason why you just don't want to get another Zapp?

I thought your kids were tall so I would agree with the Volo rec. You can also check out those new Cybex umbrella strollers.

Ooooh the zapp. So DS2 is tipping it without anything on it. I think he is too tall for it? DS2 is about 39.5 inches.

Sorry and he is 40 lbs so a lot over the limit of the zapp.

We looked at the Zapp a year ago too and loved it except for the weight limit. It does push a bit easier than the Mac and I was totally blown away. Prior to testing it out I thought oh that's just another trendy looking stroller that probably isn't all that great.

If you don't need a recline and are used to the Zapp canopy (or lack thereof) how about the Baby Jogger Micro? From what others have posted larger/longer children seem to fit better in it than the Mini and it holds up to 50lbs.

i love my mini, i think it steers much much better than a zapp. zapp's feel bottom heavy to me to push...

I really like the BJCM, but make sure your kiddo has enough room in it. My DS hits the canopy of the neighbor's BJCM. I think he is about 40-41 inches tall.

Sigh he is almost 40 inches. I think I have to go visit it.

Thanks!
