using the latest technology and lightest materials, the

The Yezz is Quinny's latest breakthrough concept in design,
style, materials and folding technique. A culmination of extreme
urban design, the Yezz uses innovative IXEF® high performance
composite material to create a highly durable yet very lightweight
frame. The stroller switches from pushing to carrying and back
again within seconds. The Quinny Yezz is the perfect choice for
travelling by public transport, going up and down stairs and then
continuing on foot.
"The Yezz brings a whole new level of technology and design to
the premium stroller market in the US," said Dan Pennacchio, General Manager of International
Brands at Dorel Juvenile Group. "In designing this stroller, we
were focused on what parents need most out of a stroller when
traveling with kids: easy to carry and store, lightweight, advanced
maneuverability, and durability. The Yezz brings together all of
those features into one superior stroller."
Strong, durable and easy to use, the Yezz makes the city your
playground and features the sleek, notable European design of
Quinny. Additional features include:
- Stands when folded
- Interchangeable seats to allow parents to personalize the
