The Quinny Yezz at Disneyland

The Quinny Yezz was the perfect stroller for Disneyland Paris with a toddler...compact for packing in the car, lightweight for carrying up and down stairs, manoeuvrable in crowds, easy to carry with the shoulder strap  when not in use and freestanding when folded for leaving in Buggy Parks.  The handy pocket is really spacious for snacks, drinks and waterproofs, and the seat is comfy enough for a nap when the magic of Disney gets too much!!

Even King Louie wanted the Yezz!!

Quinny Yezz Doing What It Does Best!

As a Quinny Caster I've been challenged to show the Yezz doing what it does best!!  It's the urban stroller designed to make the city its playground, perfect for public transport and the rigours of being in town with a toddler.  Unfortunately as far as this mission is concerned, I live in the country and the public transport links are worse than useless so to demonstrate the features and benefits of Quinny's funky Yezz we had to get creative.

The incredibly lightweight Yezz is small and compact when folded and comes with a strap to carry it over your shoulder.  Perfect for going up and down stairs and escalators and hopping on and off trains and buses.  Ian demonstrated this on our staircase!

The size of the folded stroller is perfect if you are sat on a seat of a train, bus or taxi.  It will sit easily between your feet meaning you don't have to struggle with stowing the Yezz in a storage facility.  Ian demonstrates on our makeshift bus seat!!

When you are in the city, you have to put your stroller up and down a lot as you reach escalators, stairs or get on or off the vehicle.  The Yezz can be put up with one hand and one foot really quickly and easily.  You could hold on to a toddler's hand or carry an infant with your other hand.  Very useful when travelling alone with your child.

City life can mean tight spaces and narrow gaps.  The Yezz's super manoeuvrability and compact design makes negotiating a busy, crowded area really easy.  Doorways, aisles, corridors and other tight squeezes are easily handled.  Check out Ian going through a doorway with bags of space to spare.

 The free standing feature is useful and would allow you to leave the pushchair stood up and keep your hands free.

The Yezz's lightweight frame makes this the lightest stroller to carry around, a real bonus when using a buggy in the busy city.  A cumbersome, heavy, complicated pushchair would be a hindrance,whereas the Yezz would be a real help in that situation.  You can see just how light this stroller is in this photo.

Although I did not test the Yezz in the city for this mission, I am soon to take Freddy to Alton Towers.  The Yezz will be perfect to ride the mono-rail, leave standing in Buggy Parks near the rides, negotiate the crowds and carry over our shoulder when Freddy decides he wants to have a run around.  We are also going to Disneyland Paris in a few weeks time and will be taking the Yezz.  It will take up hardly any boot space and again will be perfect in a theme park situation.  I'll definitely post some pics!!

The Yezz may not be perfect for all terrains and situations, but for urban life it can definitely reduce many of the problems associated with using a pushchair.  Plus, it's very comfy for your tot to travel in.  It's a great investment for a non-city dweller like me, as a second stroller for travelling, urban use and on holiday.

Quinny Yezz Review

Ian, Freddy and I took the Yezz for a test drive to Telford Shopping Centre for a mooch around the sales.  It is the ultimate urban pushchair making the city your playground, so we were interested to see how it coped with a shopping trip.

Takes up hardly any boot space!

Easy to push

Pros:

• Incredibly light weight but extremely sturdy
• So easy to steer even with one hand.  It feels almost weightless even with a toddler onboard!
• Comfy for your toddler
• Tight turning circle allowing extreme smooth manoeuvrability
• Easy to fold and carry over your shoulder with the strap leaving two hands free
• Takes up minimum boot space or storage space
• Handy pocket for storing a few essentials
• Good braking system...one pedal turns brake on, one turns it off
• Perfect for negotiating crowded shops
• Really funky design that Ian was happy to push.  In Road Grey with the skate style wheels and climbing rope attachments it made a great, sporty pushchair that appeals to men too
• Free standing when folded

Light enough to steer with just one finger!!!

Cons:

• Tips up easily when not counterbalanced by having baby in it if you hang a large handled bag right over the handles (I did try to see if it would work!)
• No suspension, skate wheels and low centre of gravity makes you feel every bump in the road (although Fred enjoyed this and giggled!)
• Nowhere to hang bags on handles
• No storage underneath for shopping
• Not suitable for rough terrain
• Does not recline

With nowhere to put the bags, it's good that it is so light to push and steer.

So, depending on your needs, the Yezz will either be the perfect choice or not suitable at all.  

For pushing around a shopping centre, dodging obstacles and people, going up and down the aisles and carrying up and downstairs this buggy is second to none.  It literally is so light to steer and feels virtually weightless as you push it along, even if it is with just one hand.  However as there is nowhere to hang or store bags, you need to be prepared to carry them...or get someone else to carry them for you!

The pros of this buggy would work perfectly for an airport, railway station or port.  It is ideal for holidaying with a toddler.  It is so light and folds so small it would be a real asset when travelling with a little one.  The easy fold up and down method is very quick, and because of it being so lightweight and having the shoulder carry strap, it is easy to manage with a tot in tow!

Smooth Ride

If you do your majority of walking in the great outdoors this is not the buggy for you.  The Quinny Speedi is the better choice for heavy use.  However, for urban use, shopping centres, smooth pavements, public transport etc. the Yezz will prove a Godsend.
