I e-mailed Inglesina (to their Italian headquarter) about the availability date of the 2004 Zippy in Candada, and here's the response:
----------------------------
Dear Mr. xxx
Thank you for your interest in the Zippy! Top answer ytour questions:
1. The 2003 Zippy Rain model has an integrated cover. The 2004 Zippy Rain does not.
2. The 2004 Zippy Rain will be available in Canada in March 2004.
Kind Regards,
Can-Am Baby,
Inglesina Canada

I'm deciding between the Peg Pliko P3 or the Zippy... will probably go with the P3 since I really like the black sable colors, and the P3 looks a bit more streamlined (with 2 long metal rods vs. Zippy's metal-everhwhere look).
