Inglesina Quid Review
This is a middle-of-the-road stroller that doesn't excel or fail but manages an average performance
The Quid is pleasant to push on flat surfaces.

Our Verdict
The Inglesina Quid is a lightweight option in our best travel stroller review. This stroller has a great canopy, a reasonable price, and folds small. We like that it has a large peek-a-boo window and shoulder strap padding. However, it scored about average in most metrics, with no real standout features or functionality to set it apart from the competition. While it performs well enough to avoid frustration, it struggled to keep up with the competition that offered a little bit more or performed a little bit better. In short, we like the Quid, but for the money, we think some other strollers can edge it out of consideration, depending on your needs.

| Bottom Line | A average choice that costs more than better options | Better performance and a durable design make this budget option an impressive contender | A nicer travel choice that hits the mark and is sure to please, but pops open easily when folded | Tight budget choice with below-average performance in most metrics but is very lightweight | Disappointing budget option that did not perform well in our comparison tests |

Transporting and Storing
The Quid earned higher than average results in our transporting and storing tests.
The Quid weighs 13.1 lbs, where the average is closer to 14, and several came in at over 17 lbs in our tests. This makes it one of the lighter options in the group.
The Quid offers one of the smallest folded units for the weight.

The fold for the quid is compact, with only a couple of strollers measuring smaller in our tests. When folded, the Quid measures 18.6"W x 10.3"H x 23.3"L, which is 3,467 in^3.
To adjust the Quid shoulder straps, you must unthread and rethread the straps through the loops and the seat back.

Ease of Use
The Quid earned an average score for ease of use. It is easy enough to use, and we had no real frustrations, but the group had easier options.
The Inglesina folds relatively flat and has a carry handle, but it takes two hands and isn't as quick as other options.

Fold and Unfold
The Quid has a fold-in-third design that requires two hands and does not stand when folded. Two slides need to be released to initiate the fold, but the fold itself is straightforward and smooth. Unfolding can be accomplished with one hand, as it requires snapping the stroller out with a flick of the arm/wrist.
The Inglesina storage bin held our medium size diaper bag, but it was a tight fit, and only the give of the fabric allowed it.

Storage
The Quid storage bin has good rear access and limited front access, with the leg rest lifted. The manufacturer does not specify the maximum allowable weight, and the basket is oddly shaped, making getting items in and out challenging. We were able to squeeze our medium size bag in the bin.
The Quid has a basic 5-point harness and buckle combination with nicer padding on the shoulder straps and behind the buckle to prevent pinching.

Harness
The Quid harness webbing feels cheap and isn't as smooth as the competition, but the padding is adequate. The shoulder strap height adjustment is a series of loops on the seat back, which isn't the best but wasn't overly hard to use. It is a 5-point harness with a buckle that requires 20-25 lbs of pressure to release.
The Quid has a rocker panel brake pedal that operates the single-action brakes.

Brakes
The Quid has single-action brakes. The pedal is easy to set and release with a design that is foot-friendly. It has a rocker pedal design. It requires about 10-15 lbs of pressure to use.
The Inglesina Quid has a mimnimal number of parts to attach for assembly.

Ease of Setup
The Quid has an easy setup process, most of which comes assembled. It only requires adding wheels, a canopy, and a belly bar.
Car Seat Compatiblity
The quid is not compatible with infant car seats in North America.

Maneuverability
The quid isn't as easy to maneuver as some competitors, and it received a below-average score for this metric.
While historically, most of the travel options have been challenging to push and turn, especially off-road, some have come to play in our new lineup, and this resulted in the quid struggling somewhat in comparison.

The Quid has a rigid frame, which is helpful, but the makeup of the wheels is underwhelming, and the size makes thresholds and curbs a chore. It handles well on flat surfaces and manages to push through grass, even if it feels like a slog. The steepness of the handlebar left our taller tester kicking the rear axle while trying to get it through the rougher terrain.

Quality
The Quid has the quality you'd expect at this price, with materials and a design that seems to be durable, even if it isn't the nicest.
The Quid appears to have a durable design and materials that should wear well with regular use.

The material isn't as soft as some competitors, but it fits the frame well and looks nice. The frame has a finished look without excessive fasteners or visible hinges. We didn't see any snag points and liked the simplicity of the design.
The wheels are foam-filled plastic and some of the softest in the group, with a hardness result of 68AH on the Shore A scale. The rear wheels are 5.7 inches in diameter, and the front wheels are smaller.
The belly bar on the Inglesina rotates to the side so little ones can be seated.

Kid's Comfort
The Quid scored better than average for a kid's comfort but fell short of being a top scorer here.
Seat
The seat back reclines with a plastic toggle and straps that are easy to use. The fabric isn't the softest, but it does recline far enough to encourage napping.
The Quid has a basic recline toggle that is easy to use but hardly revolutionary.

The seat and leg rest are lightly padded, with adjustability in the leg rest. It has two options: a down position or straight out. It takes two hands to adjust. The legrest leads to a plastic footrest, and we suspect it will be less comfortable for kids whose legs can't reach the rest.
The Inglesina has a UPF 50+ canopy with a zip-out extension and a peek-a-boo window.
Credit: Matt Lighthart
Sunshade
The Quid has one of the best canopies in the group, with ample coverage close to covering the full seat.
It is large, UPF 50+, and has a peek-a-boo window with a cover and a zip-open extension panel. The window is mesh and has a cover secured with Velcro. The cover has no way to hold it open.
The Quid is a middle-of-the-road stroller that will neither impress nor disappoint.

Should You Buy the Inglesina Quid?
The Quid earned an overall score just above the average for the group. It has a great canopy and folds easily. Nothing is frustrating or disappointing with this stroller, and we see why parents would be drawn to the Quid given its reasonable price. We think most parents will be happy with the Quid. However, it was not a top-ranked option in our review, and several other competitors earned better scores overall and in key metrics and have similar prices. This makes the Quid one we wouldn't necessarily recommend to a friend, but we wouldn't say don't buy it either.
What Other Travel Strollers Should You Consider?
Our pick would be the Zoe Traveler in this price range. The Zoe is a similar price but offers more for kids' comfort and is easier to push and turn. They have similar scores in other metrics, with the Quid coming in a bit smaller when folded, but we'd rather have an easy-to-push stroller, making the Zoe our choice. The Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Single is in the same range with price and overall score. This option is also easier to push and scored the same for weight and folded size. The City Tour 2 is compatible with Baby Jogger infant car seats, which could be a selling point depending on your goals.
