Last week we shared with you the top of the tops in prams. This week, we want to be more “down to earth” and share with you the more “pocket friendly” but without comprising the style, function and features range of strollers. Again, we are flooded with the vast selection available. We have picked out three which we feel are lightweight, more economical and perhaps more MRT friendly.
QUINNY ZAPP
As the name suggest, the Quinny Zapp allows you to zapp around town easily. Most importantly, the Zapp has the smallest fold in the market, measuring at 69x29x30cms. It weighs only 6kg and is an excellent stroller to keep in your car boot for quick trips to the supermarket or travelling. However, one downside of the Zapp is that it doesn't recline at all. Hence, it is not suitable for newborns. But, once the baby is able to sit up confidently (normally around 6 months old), the Zapp will be perfect.

-
Weight: 5.8kg
-
Seat capacity: 18kg
-
Folded dimensions: 64 x 25 x 23 cm
-
