ABC Design Zoom Questions & Answers

Hi SL, not sure but Baby Train have them so you can call them.

Hi Amy
Yes they have a single pram called a Salsa 3 which also fits the same seat. Ring Baby Train as they were really helpful.
Good luck!

Yes i am having this trouble and it is hard to push in shopping centres due to the shiny surface. I think it is a design flaw. When there is weight on the front wheels it is extremely hard to even push and turning is a nightmare! I really liked this pram!?

Same problem here. Just want to throw it in the bin.

I’m building a case against them would be happy to hear your stories

Yes, the length doesn’t suit for most public transport. It is just too long to get in. I sometimes find my ABC Design zoom pram needs to stay diagonally in order to get into lifts as well. I use it for taking my twin boys for a walk and use the other smaller side-by-side stroller for taking public transport.

I actually bought it and I find it amazing for the public transports, its long but it’s easy to turn, it’s light and slim so I can get in the bus without any problem, I guess it mostly depends on how the bus or the train are designed, where I live there is a very big pram area on the left side of the bus and the ABC fits perfectly in there.
I have also a Mima Kobi but with that one to get in the Bus is a total nightmare, too large and too heavy .. so yes, the ABC zoom pretty much saved my life.

For newborns there is the bassinet. The seats are from 6 months.

We used the bassinet with our newborn, and then transferred her to the seat around 2-3 months. When she was first in the seat, we used it laying flat with the comfort seat insert to stop her sliding around, which worked very well.

Yes for suspension! Excellent suspension, I've never seen or had one with better.
And I'm unsure about the tyres? The tyres are a little squishy when I push on them hard which (after owning and using the pram for over 12months now) would suggest they are, but they don't have abit sticking out- like a car or bike tyres, to pump it up and I've never pumped them up- but the husband might have done it and I just can't remember.
Also the front tyres can lock into a straight position, and due to loving fitness myself, I would jog with the pram (if I didn't also have a 3yo attached to my hip).
My boys love the pram and never complain while they are in it. and I've never had a problem with it. I would say half the compliments I get are 'gosh your busy' and the other half is about the pram. And then questions; where to buy it, how it works, if it's easy to steer.

Found one for you in WA:

I couldn't see them on the Babyland site you can also buy direct from abc-design.com.au. I am looking to buy one, too. Thanks :)

called all WA stockists no one sells it. However, I managed to purchase one online and get delivered from baby train, or you can get it from the official website.

Yes! :)

Sure can, the pram comes in 3 peices so u have the base and the two seats (or capsules if u get them). The base is indepenadant of the seats so if u wanted to you could have no seats, 1 or 2. It won't affect the functionality of the base.

Does anyone have a pic of what it would look like with just one seat or one bassinet?

Apparently it is not recomended from birth in Australia as the seats do not recline fully flat. in saying that I've had my preemie twin boys in them from when they were approx 4pounds. I bought head rests to put in to limit head moment and also ones for their car seats as they were little babies.

Thankyou for your helpful comment

I have used the seat with my newborn now 5 weeks and purchased an uppababy seat insert. It flattens out the base and was recommend by baby train. They were very helpful.

Maxi Cosi - you just have to get the adaptors - here's the link: http://abc-design.com.au/categories/accessories.html?sort=featured&page=2

Also suitable for Britax Safe n Sound Unity models. Adapters also sold for same price as Maxi Cosi in the link above.

If you email them online they will be more than helpful with this question. I have the seats not the capsules and as long as ur child's back is below 50cms they should fit. (I measured the back of the seat from the top to the seat). Otherswise email Nadine (most helpful sales person ever!) and ask her about the compatible toddler seats and toddler stands :)

Yes! i always have to push the button in on the handle bar so i can pull the hood through because it gets stuck.

I bought it from prams.net in the graphite and it was cheaper than the Australian one!!
The accessories from the Aus supplier fit and it's gorgeous!!

Hi Fiona,
Thanks so much for your reply! Does your graphite grey canopy have the zipper along the top that allows you to pull down a built in sunshade that extends down quite far?

Hi Fiona, did you also buy the Carrycots from prams.net? If so, do you need to purchase a special attachment for them as well? and did you get it from prams.net? Thanks, Amy

1) No
2) I don't understand, what you mean.
3) Sorry, I don't understand what you ask))
4) You just press two buttons by both sides and you can withdraw bassinets.
5) Just the rain cover.

5. The bassinets have a big cover :)

It really isn't designed for single mode. I have twins and only used in the double mode, so was perfect for me.

I use mine alot in single mode when I just have my youngest with me, and I find it works just as good.

Yes, both recline at the same time. We had the seats and the bassinets, so they could sleep comfortably from day one. We purchased from Germany online www.kidsroom.de as at the time it was better value for money and we could select from a wider range of colours than available in Australia. Not sure if you have seen it, but there is a good clip on YouTube loaded by thinkprams.com.au, it gives you a good idea of size and space

Hi I had the bassinet but not sure if you an out a car capsule on it. However if you can't find the answer on the internet give Baby Train a call they were one of first to bring it into Australia so they would definitely know. How that helps

Yes, they have a maxi cosi adapter.

Hi there, we've never taken it near snow before, but it's really good on dirt paths if that helps.
