Quinny Xtra

Quinny Caster

I was one of 25 lucky people to be chosen as a Quinny Caster. The Quinny Xtra is the latest model from Quinny and comes in Rebel Red or Rocking Black. I choose the black as it goes with everything. I am really glad I choose black as I have now bought a fantastic orange and pink footmuff, which looks amazing!

The Xtra is amazing as it has a reversible seat - I love having Erin facing me, as at aged just one, she still finds me as the best thing to look at!!

The buggy is suitable from birth with its lie flat feature. Having tried a few different models of pushchair this is the first that Erin has actually managed to sleep in. The Maxi Cosi pebble is compatible with the Xtra. The hood is probably the deepest hood I have ever seen as well which is great for blocking out the sun, but also for when napping.

The whole unit is really lightweight and compact - in fact the smallest buggy I have ever seen. Therefore it is just perfect for having in the car. As the seat is reversible the only downside to the buggy is that the seat unit has to be taken off when folding the buggy.

The brake system is also really good, it has two simple pedals, one for stopping and one for starting! I find the buggy so easy to push, partly due to have a double wheel at the front, it means that when you lift onto a kerb you do not have the wobble that many other three wheelers leave you with.

As you can tell I love my Quinny Xtra and will continue to use it long after the product test has finished, I think it offers great value for money. It is a stylish lightweight buggy, designed to meet the needs of busy mum and dad's. It also has lots of funky extras. I earlier referred to the footmuff I have just got. Wow - this has received so many comments from the mums at school! It is like a gigantic sleeping bag and Erin adores being snuggled up in it during with cold weather!
