Amazing Pram, did everything we needed it to do! – I found this pram via a review on youtube before it was released on the market, I loved the compact size and the price point was great, sure beats the others at three times the price! We used it over 6 years seeing our two kids out from newborns using the Capsule adaptor(a must!), till they were toddlers. We were really impressed with its… Read more ·  1

durability, provided that you're not forcing anything. We did have it collapse once however we felt that it was due to being in a hurry to get somewhere and opening it without placing a foot on the back axle, never happened again. The seat restraints were a bit fiddly to clip in, this would be my only issue with it a great product and well supported by Valco in Australia.

The best pram ever! – Bought this three years ago for my firstborn and it has been the best purchase I made. It's light, easy to fold away, fits through doors and aisles easily, is easy to manoeuvre and is great on most terrains- we love our outdoors. I had the Babylove capsule and adaptor so was easy to take baby in and out of pram and car without disturbing. Only… Read more

one slight flaw would be the screw that's holding the grey plastic locking mechanism comes loose. I've lost it and it doesn't lock anymore. So it doesn't lay flat unless I tie it with something. I have put some Velcro through it to fix the problem.

I can't find it ! Iv only used it for 4 month the handle is broken and the screw came of when my husband opened the pram Not very happy ! Thought Valco was better then this!

It won't open without manual intervention – This pram was awesome for the first 5 mths but now I have to get on my knees to physically push the two bars underneath together for it to close and lock in place, it's a big pain when you are trying to hold a baby at the same time.

Occasional pram that hasn't done the job – Bought this pram for occasion use instead of our main pram due to its lightweight and easy fold mechanism. 14 months later we had problems folding it and now it won't collapse - the cable has wrapped around the joint. Valco have refused to help. Poor value for money and poor customer service.

Unreliable as faulty – I had this pram for three months now very annoying. It was supposed to be easy to click into place however the two metal bars have to be manually clicked together. Very difficult while on your own and wanting to put your baby in pram. Not an efficient useful pram for the cost!!!

Best. Pram. Ever – I love this pram! I bought it early in 2013 and it is now being used for my second child. They both sleep well in it, it folds down easily and is compact, and there hasn't been a single shop I couldn't fit in with my pram! I also recently took it on a flight and it was damaged in transit. I sent Valco an email chasing a replacement part and they… Read more

responded immediately, posting me a replacement part FREE OF CHARGE! So I have a great pram from a company with amazing customer service. I would definitely recommend this pram to anyone, and if I ever need to buy another pram Valco will be my first choice.

Light and easy – We are loving the features on the pram. Its light, folds compact, five point harness, tilts back, foot rest agustable. Sometimes I have to pull the two bottom bars together to get the pram to click open but maybe thats something Im doing wrong?  Show reply

This pram is horrible! – This pram was built to break! After only a few times of using this pram it broke on me and I have been completely devastated because we had spent our savings on it. Ironically enough, we thought we would be able to use this pram for our future kids as well but it hasn't even lasted through my first one. Unfortunately I'm still using it because I… Read more

can't afford to get a new one but I'm telling everyone I know who is expecting not to get the Valco Baby Zee pram. Everytime I have to close the pram it takes me ages and I have to use a tool to be able to pull the metal wires in order to close the damn pram. I have had numerous meltdowns because of the time and effort it takes me to close this pram. I just can't wait until I can work again so we can afford a new and better pram. Think twice before you buy this pram!

Our baby loves it, and so do we – Despite being a lightweight and compact stroller, it has everything that we wanted in a pram. It is comfortable and very easy to fold and open. The seat can go all the way down, and you can add a bassinet making it perfect for newborns. It has a nice sized basket, and it is very easy to push. It is excellent for travelling and public transportation, and fits nicely in our car.

Wow!!! Best Stroller Ever – A few years ago I moved from the USA where i thought those fancy expensive brand names thinking that meant their stroller are the best, but after using 2 other (expensive brands) strollers that got broken, i bought the Zee on the recommendation of the sale lady, and it is way better than the others and much less money, it is very easy to push… Read more

and so simple and effortless to fold, it closes flat so it is easy to travel with and fits perfectly in the car. The lady in the store sold us the joey seat for our older child to sit on top and that is great! much easy than having to push a double through stores when we go shopping.

After trying a few other brands i would recommend this to anyone that looking to buy a good reliable stroller. How it folds, that you can use the joey seat with it, lightweight, wheel locks good

Love my Valco Zee – the valco zee is the best pram i have owned by far. i am a grandmother who regularly has my toddler granddaughter. so this pram was a great choice for me. it is light weight and quite compact in the back of my car. it is great to manouver in and around shopping centres as well as good for everyday walking. It is also, great for all ages (small baby to toddler). Very happy with my purchase. Inexpensive

Took it overseas too...unbelieveable! – We recently spent 4 weeks in Israel with the family and I took the Zee not sure what to expect as I only had it for a few days before we left. I was so happy! My 3 year old was so comfortable, the Zee pushed like a breeze and I was even able to manoeuvre it one handed when need arose (even over the stone footpaths that Israel has in abundance).… Read more

It also folded and unfolded easily making it perfect for home or on the go! Light, comfortable and suitable to sit in and push even for my heavy 3 year old

Great pram but also collapsed on me – I loved everything about this pram and was very disappointed when it collapsed on me unexpectedly with my 11 mth old in it. Thankfully I was hanging onto the pram each time this happened (4 times) and was able to prevent any harm occurring. I purchased the Emerald Zee in December and it collapsed on me in Feb for the first time and then again in… Read more

March (three times). I am no longer using it due to safety concerns. I contacted Pram Warehouse (purchased online) two weeks ago and they contacted Valco on my behalf. Valco phoned me today to advise that they are sending out a brand new replacement pram as there is a fault with the wire that engages the pram that I purchased last year. No questions asked! Rep was very friendly and helpful. Their customer service was really good in this instance.

Apparently there has been no problems with the new batch of Zee prams made this year (lilac and red hoods, black frames) so I am willing to give this pram another go. It is a great pram in every other way! I will keep you posted on how it goes. So light, easy to fold and smooth to steer. Warranty service very good. Collapsed with baby in it.

Hi Suze77. Do you know the model number of the pram that collapsed?

Loved it til it collapsed on me – I loved this pram for how light and narrow it was and the fact that I could use a capsule for the first 6 months. I also liked that it can accommodate a toddler seat as I plan to have my babies close together. But it has suddenly collapsed on me 3 times now!!! The first 2 times luckily my daughter wasn't in it (I had groceries in it whilst my… Read more

hubby carried my daughter) but the last time it happened (today!) she was in it and it scared the living daylights out of me!

Thankfully as she is only 4.5months old she was in the capsule so safely strapped in and was unhurt but I am now far too scared to use it again for fear of it happening again :-( Initially I would've rated this pram very highly but I can't do that anymore, I would suggest not to buy it for your child's safety. Light, narrow, easy to manoeuvre Collapsed unexpectedly whilst walking along

Love it! No regrets – I never wanted to be one of those people I heard about that had 4 prams! and I am pleased to report that I am not ; ) This pram is a great all rounder. Perfect for a newborn without having to have a bulky bassinet. The best part was being able to mimick a bassinett by lifting up the foot rest part. My Bub is 1 now and I still raise this part so… Read more ·  2

her little legs lay flat and are not hanging down awkwardly.

Nice deep, sturdy basket. Agree that it is hard to get stuff in and out when laying flat.

It is light and so so so easily manouverable. Everyone that pushes my pram always comments on how easy it is! Light, easy to manouvre. Love the foot rest that folds up. It is light so can't hang bag on handle or it may tip. No biggy though, use the basket and get a caddy to attach to the handle for quick items eg phone, wallet, dummy.

Finally, a lightweight pram with toddler seat option that is easy to push, at a great price! – I love this pram. It weighs just over 8 kilos and Joey toddler seat (20kg weight limit) adds just over 2 kilos to weight. Pram is very easy to push and very sturdy. Pram reclines fully for baby. You can also add a hood to toddler seat. Large basket underneath and pram folds nice and flat for transportation. Buy this if you are looking for a pram… Read more ·  2

that will fit down aisles and on trains easily. Very easy to push with a baby and toddler and doesn't cost a fortune! I got pram for $300 + $80 for toddler seat. Very light but also very sturdy. Not too expensive Toddler seat does not recline (this is a very minor problem!)

Easy. Light. Compact. Practical. Economic – At last... a stroller / pram that is light, compact, easy to use AND takes a Toddler seat! The seat reclines totally flat for a sleepy newborn and also sits nicely upright for a toddler. The hood is amazing.. so big, but also folds right back out the way when not in use. The storage basket is nice and deep - a tad tricky to get in to if the… Read more

seat is fully reclined (not a huge deal though).

It folds very flat and compact, and is super simple to fold / unfold.

The steering is very responsive and smooth.

The Zee takes almost all of the Valco Accessories ie Cocoon, Bassinet, Travel Systems, Toddler Seat etc.

The only cons... the belts are a tad fiddly to clip/secure - could be interesting if you have a protesting toddler! The handle is not height adjustable. Not designed for jogging with (obvious though!)

Totally recommend - why buy a bulky, heavy pram when you can buy the Zee?!! It does everything you need. Economic, easy to use, light, responsive steering, takes toddler seat and many other accessories, practical. Non-adjustable handle, the secure clips are fiddly to do up.

The best for its purpose – We always want the best for our daughter and Valco Baby Zee did not fail us. It's fabulous, easy to maneuver and very light. It is safe because the snap comes with a 5-point harness. What we love more is that the buckle on the seat is completely toddler proof and because of its full reclining seat, it is very ideal for snoozing newborns and older children. No regret of having this! safetiness, appearance

It failed us big time :-( – We were walking around the shops for 2 hours and then out of nowhere the pram folded on us with our baby in it so a big thumbs down from me I'm just glad my baby wasn't hurt. I had even shock and bounced the pram before using it to make sure it was locked in right. I have since took the pram back to the shop where I brought it from and have still Hurd nothing back :-( It's faulty my baby could of been hurt

Excellent – P have just recently acquired this pram and I wish they made them like this when I had my first child! I bought this to use with my third child who will be two later this year. I wanted something light, easy to fold, zippy and tough and the Zee does all this. Unlike the Steelcraft agile, the Zee can take a toddler seat or board. the basket is… Read more

a very good size for such a compact pram much better than the agile Light, easy to fold, zippy and tough Doesn't come with a rain/storm cover
