The history of Inglesina began in a curious, original way. Everything started with the passion of the company's founder, Liviano Tomasi, for four wheels and mechanics in general. However, young Tomasi was originally interested in go-karts and in fact he dedicated himself to the tuning up and setting of karts for racing. But it was a short step from engines to babies - first through the production of tricycles - especially with the encouragement of a woman: his wife, Bruna. Today Inglesina is one of the leading companies on the international scene, specializing in the early infancy sector and a recognized interpreter of the "Made in Italy" style, elegance and quality, serving as its ambassador to more than thirty countries around the world for more than forty years.
Nice Stroller

My husband and I are 1st time parents so we read reviews on all of the strollers and it seemed this would suit our needs the best. It is very nice indeed. I don't really know what makes it so great that it justifies the price though. The adjustable in and out handles are a nice feature and so is the rain guard and the leg warmer. It does fold down very very easily which is a plus. We have yet to stroll our new baby around in it so no news there yet. I think I would have been just as happy with something a little less expensive.

I did a lot of research before buying this stroller. If I was going to spend $$ it had to meet several of my criteria.
It had to fold like an umbrella, LARGE removable canopy (have a very fair skinned child), cupholder and storage area for mom, removable fabric parts for washing, recline feature, removable tray (in this case there are two options), adjustable handles, large storage for the size of the stroller, and EASY unlock/lock for the breaks, one hand fold and unfold, as well as easy turning. A MUST!
I can do all these things with the stroller. I have had it a month and I am VERY satisified.Yes it is pricey, but it works beautifully. I love that you get the matching boot for winter in the 2009 models.
FYI: It is not a lightweight 10lb stroller. If you want that you will have to go with a stroller with less features. Inglesina does have them, but I wanted the conveniences of a smaller stroller without the bulkiness some of the other srollers have like Graco. I don't mind the weight, but it is a heavier stroller. You can detach some parts to make your stroller lighter when traveling lets say through the airport.
I did have some problems with squeaking when turning. I called Inglesina and they told me to try to do some troubleshooting and if that didn't work they would send me replacement parts.
They were friendly and that is SO important.
Would defintely recomment to a friend.
Love the Zippy!

I read many, many reviews before settling on this stroller. It seemed like the best choice for our situation. For a mom living in a suburban area, this stroller is amazing. We used the Snap N Go for the first two months so we could keep baby in the car seat, but the coverage is terrible and it seems very uncomfortable. In the last two weeks, we've made the switch to the Zippy. She is so much more comfortable. She can sleep during long walks in the fully reclined position. We went to the beach and used the fabulous boot and she was fully shielded from the sun. The stroller rides extremely smoothly and is very easy to push. The adjustable handles add a lot of comfort. The side cup looked really small, but my husband easily fit his large soda in it once we realized it expanded to hold the cup. Everything about this stroller, including its amazing fold and lightness, has met our expectations. For our use--So Cal beach boardwalks, outdoor malls, suburban streets--the Zippy has been absolutely wonderful. I plan on keeping this for my next baby and springing for the adorable bassinet!
By the way, I went with the chocolate and blue, which is not pictured at the moment. It's really fun. All the colors are really nice in person, however; I saw them at a local baby boutique.
Great stroller!

Before buying a stroller, I did extensive research. We were looking for something light, compact, with the ability to hold an infant seat. The "Baby Bargains" book gave this stroller high marks and I found that many parents on line thought the same thing. We bought it and love it! The one hand fold is so easy to use and it comes with so many great attachment. The one draw back is that the adult cup holder is really small and I wouldn't feel comfortable putting a hot cup of coffee in it. Other than that, this is a great stroller!
Best Stroller

I spent several months researching strollers before purchasing the Zippy in black (Ink) for my newborn baby girl. I wanted a stroller that was easy to fold, lightweight, durable, stylish, adjustable handle height and suitable for newborns. The Zippy has all of these features and far exceeded my expectations. It is so easy to fold and unfold. It is very comfortable to push and maneuvers easily. It is a very stylish, durable and well made stroller. My husband and I are tall and the adjustable handles were very important to us. The Zippy is a perfect height for us to comfortably push. I was very surprised at how many strollers did not have this feature. The stroller is lightweight and folds compactly. It has a removable handrail/bar, as well as an interchangeable snack tray. The footrest is adjustable so that it can fold up to offer more security to young babies and there is also a removable leg cover included. The Zippy has a full recline so I have been able to use it since my baby was a newborn. There is a large canopy that has a further extractable piece that extends over the entire stroller to provide sun and rain protection. It has a large basket underneath and a pocket in the back for smaller items. This stroller really has it all and we love it!
AWESOME!

This is my second stroller and I love it! We had originally bought a stroller combination with car seat. However, having a premature baby, I had to carry around and oxygen tank and heart monitor whenever we went anywhere. This stroller has enough room in the storage underneath to hold both the oxygen tank and heart monitor and yet is not extra heavy or bulky to get in and out of the car. The bassinet option was nice because it gave our daughter a comfortable place to rest on the go or in the house. The one handed fold option is great! Friends who have other strollers fight to fold and put away strollers after shopping or spending a day at the park. It has long enough handles so that neither my husband or I feel as though we have to lean over to push the Zippy stroller. I will use this stroller for a long time to come and the quality will allow me to use it with a future child as well! Easy to use and great quality! WE LOVE THIS STROLLER!
