Price, size and comfort

The Inglesina Zippy stroller is considered to be cheaper than other similar products, so parents may fall for it, seeing how much it has to offer for the price. It is also compact, which means that you will not need a lot of space to store it or transport it. As the advertisement says, it can be taken anywhere you go, even on a plane. Comfort for the baby is ensured through extra padding, and a bunch of nice extras, like a rain cover and a special bag that keeps the baby away from cold.

The not so good part

The manufacturers of this stroller claim to have looked into parents’ needs when they designed the car seat adapter, but not all parents are pleased with the system, that requires them to use two snaps as well as a ratchet to make it fit.

However, the Inglesina Zippy still enjoys great ratings from consumers, which means it is a reliable and good stroller, despite its disadvantages.
