Inglesina Zippy--Worth the $$?

Stilettogrl12

Hi, everyone!

I have been lurking here for a long while, but have not posted. ?We are expecting our first DC in September and are considering the Zippy as our only stroller. ?Web reviews say it's great, however, I haven't seen much posted here about it. Any opinions from those who have one? ?TIA!!

I didn't do the zippy but I looked at it closely early in my pregnancy.  I decided to go with a Peg Perego in the end.    I think both strollers fall into the same category of lightweight good quality strollers which is what I was interested in but I think I went with the Peg because it had a full recline and could accomodate several car seats including the snug ride.  In any case, I am definitely a proponent of getting one multifunctional light weight stroller that will last (unless you need a jogging stroller, etc).  Good luck.

I love my Zippy, I bought an 08 in late 09.  I bought mine brand new for $189.  If I wouldn't have loved it, it didn't set me back much more than a Graco would have, but I also could have sold it and recouped much of my expense.  

I have used it from birth and baby is now almost 4 months old.  I love how easy it is to fold and set up one-handed and we have had some very windy days where the oversized hood really pays for itself.  The ONLY thing I HATE is the small basket and that's because I pack everything but the kitchen sink. Also you have to access the basket from the sides.

I've had my Zippy since 2003 and it has served me VERY well through two kids. Nothing beats the one-hand fold. 

I just noticed on their Facebook page that they're giving away six Zippys over the next six weeks to fans. It's worth it to become a fan just for the chance to win! Their page is "Inglesina Baby USA" -- just do a FB search for it.
