Petite Star Zia

I loved this pram when I first had it. Was so light and easy to push. How ever as my daughter got older she could tip herself forwards in it. Several times she managed to do this. Landing face down on the floor with pram on top of her, while strapped it too. I took it back to where I purchased it and they wasn't interested as most prams can tip over they said. But none of any other pram iv seen do it. So its not a very good design and maybe a little to light weight.

do not buy...this pushchair is not suitable for children able to movelean. once my child was able enough to reach out for things(food, toys) it became very unstable resulting in the pushchair falling on top of my son. this has now happened twice. the first time was blamed on bags hung from the handles but after this happened again I realised it was my son leaning. anyone with a child knows they lean, reach out and throw their weight at times.

this also happened to my friends pushchair with her child also sat in the pushchair.

both children were strapped in securely.

as the pushchair is under warranty I am able to return for a full refund!

My Kurvi lasted me 11 weeks the mechanism that you would use to fold the frame down has broken. I called Petite Star and was told they offer a 6 month guarantee from date of purchase ( not from the birth of your child) they would only repair at my cost including the courier.

When I complained on their Facebook pages (petite star and nursery value) they delete the comments they only appear to like positive feedback. My friends have commented and they have deleted these too.

Their customer service is shocking I've been shouted at, had the phoned put down on me and ignored by them.

I would not recommend any of their products. I am taking this matter further to Trading Standards.

Pushchair is very easy to assemble and folds down and pops up easily. Gorgeous design. (I have the pink fizz zia) Very light to carry which is a bonus for lifting in and out the car. It also folds quite small. Has adjustable handle height. Feels sturdy when my daughter is in the stroller and is very light to push.Just and alrounder really. Cant fault at all :)

I have just bought the zia4x and am so pleased with it.

However I can not comment on durability as it is new.

It feels much sturdier than I anticipated based on its weight

And following the reviews of children tipping the buggies I have gone for

More stable zia 4 rather than just Zia as the front wheels are a bit more spaced

Out, all the tipping complaints are from the Zia, it is a light weight

Triangular shaped buggy that needs its main weight at the back, if the heavy child leans forward

And to the side I can easily see why it would tip.

I can not see this happening to the Zia 4X as there is not 'point' at the front, it's much more stable. I also prefer

This stability for going forwards down curbs and steps.

The difference between the Zia 4X and Zia 4+ is that the Zia 4X is the newer model

It is slightly more square at the front and most importantly for me, it is taller. I am 5'10

And my husband is 6ft. I hate stooping to push a buggy (I refuse to, it is a bug bear of mine! I like a high handle and will adjust any buggy I push to make the handle high!), I will never need to with this one and that is

Without the extendable handles extended- much to my shock!!! My husband can also push it comfortably.

I have the koodi sleep shade which fits perfectly and I would fully recommend that as well.

It came with a rain cover and parasol (i hate all parasol's and will be using my koodi instead)

I paid £99 from tesco direct, the cocoon (carry cot) is £30 from nurseryvalue or preciouslittleones. Which is a bargain.

Also this can be used with a car seat and nurseryvalue do the maxi cosi adapters at £15.

The downsides are only the small basket but with a small pushchair what do u expect. Also the seat if always forward facing, but I don't find that an issue as the carry cot and cat seat face me and by the time they are out of them they should be exploring the sights of the world.

Overall this exceeded my expectations on build quality, height and ease of use.

I would and have recommended it on that basis to others.

One final thing the brakes need adjusting on arrival as they 'click' it took me 2 minutes with two spanners.

Also customer service are v v helpful.

I've bought the new model the Zia X and we are very pleased with the Zia. The suspension is amazing for a lightweight stroller! My daughter really enjoys sitting in the stroller, she looks very comfortable.

The adjustable handles are amazing too! Dad can push the stroller too with a straight back.

My baby can look out when the canopy is closed but I do find it hard to look in from above so the see through mesh doesn't function very well as a peek a boo window in my opinion.

I was surprised with the stability of the stroller too. I have buggy hooks attached to the handles and I can put quit a lot in the bag I've attached to the hooks without the stroller tipping over, even when my daughter is not in the stroller it doesn't tip over as easy as some other strollers like the quinny zapp.

I've also bought a matching cosytoes that fits perfectly in the stroller. The folding of the stroller with the cosytoes in it works like a charm, you don't even notice when folding it it's there so this is a very good accessory to keep the baby warm on colder days.

Folding the stroller is almost effortless and putting it back up is even easier. It folds small and probably fits in every car boot.

It steers and rides very light in my opinion. Our daughter is 11 kg at the moment.

I can't say anything yet about the durability but every other aspect of this stroller is awesome!

We wanted a lightweight stroller with the comfort of our normal stroller and I do think the Zia was an excellent choice!

We have 4 children en owned a couple of strollers but never a lightweight stroller with such great suspension, comfort and great accessory's.

I love this stroller i cudnt find one i liked untill i seen my blue spotted hood zia 4 on the argos website!its amazingly light weight, colour full and plenty of room for toys wrn my baby boy gets bigger!as i ordered it in to argos store to look at it a lady who was there as a customer had the black vertion and she told me its the best one by far shed found as her frirnds who hadnt got one had abt 3 strollers in 2yrs but shes still got her petitr zia n kt still lookd new! Best purchase ive bought i highly recommend them x

I have searched high and low for a stroller that was compact, easy to handle like my Bugaboo was but more convenient and compact when folded. After much searching I decided to go for the Petite Zia X. When I got the pram home I loved it, the colour was bright and the spotted hood and liner really set the pram off. After having this stroller for only 4days, my 21month old daughter was sat in it and leaned forward, to my horror the whole stroller tipped up and came down on top of her with her still strapped inside it. I was horrified. If this had been on a concrete surface the result could have been much worse. The stroller was on a flat surface and my child does not weigh anywhere near the 15kg limit as suggested in the instructions of use booklet. I feel this stroller should come with a warning that it cam be easily unbalanced and tips over. I am completely disappointed and now left with a stroller I do not feel is safe to use. :(

I have a petite star zia 2 in black initially the buggy looks lovely i think it comes in black blue pink and green , nice size when folded fits in the footwell of a zafira, its very easy to push with 1 hand and it lays flat and has adjustable height handles and a small basket that cant be used when buggy is laying down, the straps are a bit flimsy and the liner does not stay in place But really just look at it !!!! do not put a child in it, i had one for 2 days and i was in the supermarket i went to had my child some sweets he is 2 and of normal size he did a little excited wriggle and lent forward when the whole thing just flipped up and my poor lil man hit his face and chest on the cashiers counter, there are no reviews that tell you this can happen although after it happened i did find one on this review site had i known that the buggy can fall i would never have bought it.

Petite Star Zia 3 wheeler - best stroller.

I bought this stroller over a year and a half ago and its still going strong. I was a bit worried when I saw the many and varied negative comments about it, but can honestly say that my daughter has never tipped it up, the wheels have never come off and it is pretty sturdy for a stoller certainly much better then maclarens or other such four wheeled umbrella fold strollers which all of my friends have. My daughter is now just over two and average weight.

It is compact and light and comes in great colours with matching accessories. I have put quite a bit of shopping on it before - although would never let go of my daughter as all strollers say not to do this due to their light nature.It isnt the cheapest or most expensive stroller and is good value for money. It is smooth to push and manages pretty rough terrain well. Bearing in mind it is meant for town and city life not walks in the country - which I would use my Britax Vigour for.

It has a small basket but one that the raincover can fit in none the less and it reclines to lay flat position which is great. The raincover is easy to fit and it fits in my boot of my Golf with plenty of room to spare.

All in all a great stroller.

P.S. I have found customer service always helpful when I was enquiring about whether they did a bumper bar for the three wheeled one they responded within a day!!!
