ABC-Design Zoom Twin Pram on the Australian Baby Blog

Thursday, November 19th, 2009
ABC Design Zoom

ABC Design Zoom

“Back in September 2009, I was kindly invited to attend The Baby Show to check out the new ABC Design ‘Zoom’ Tandem Pram that Western Bloc were coming out with.”

“I’d been on the lookout for a double pram, and the Zoom caught my eye from looking at the pics and specifications on the net.”

“Checking it out in person at The Baby Show in Sydney, it left a good impression on me!”

“Although I couldn’t test drive it, the Zoom double pram actually looked more compact that I had thought, without being too squishy if you wanted to reverse the seats to face each other or away etc.”

“The sturdy, strong frame was still light – so it’s still perfect for those who worry about trying to fold up and carry a hefty pram to/from the boot of the car.”
