Our Verdict
Our Analysis and Test Results
Inspired by a traditional English pram, Liviano Tomasi created his first stroller in 1963 in Vicenza, Italy. In Italian, Inglesina means feminine. Inglesina strives to develop products with safety and protection in mind, as well as comfort and reliability with advanced technology and materials.
Transporting and Storing
The Quid is pretty easy to transport and store.
The Quid weighs 13.1 lbs in our tests. It's on the lighter end of our tested strollers and weighs similarly to a few others. The group average is closer to 14 lbs for comparison, and some stroller weights reach nearly 17 lbs. The Quid's lighter weight makes it easier to carry.
The Quid has a more compact fold that is smaller than average. Only a couple of strollers measured smaller in our tests. When folded, the Quid measures 18.6"W x 8"H x 23.3"L, which is 3,467 in^3.
Ease of Use
The Quid is easy enough to use, and we had no real frustrations, but the group had easier 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.
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-sized bag into the bin.
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 it wasn't overly hard to use. It is a 5-point harness with a buckle that requires 20-25 lbs of pressure to release.
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 and requires about 10-15 lbs of pressure to use.
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 result. 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 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.
Kid's Comfort
The Quid is better than average for a kid's comfort, but fell short of being a top performer.
Seat
The seat back reclines with a plastic toggle and easy-to-use straps. The fabric isn't the softest, but it does recline far enough to encourage napping.
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 leg rest leads to a plastic footrest, and we suspect it will be less comfortable for kids whose legs can't reach the rest.
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.
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?
This comes down to your goals and budget. In the same price range as the Quid, the Zoe Traveler offers more comfort for kids and is easier to push and turn. While the Quid folds a bit smaller, we'd trade that for easier maneuverability, making the Zoe our choice. The Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Single is another contender in this bracket. It scores the same for weight and folded size but offers smoother handling. Plus, the City Tour 2 is compatible with Baby Jogger infant car seats, which could be a selling point if you already own one or are thinking about purchasing one. If you're willing to spend more, you'll see a clear jump in quality and performance, unlocking options like the Joolz Aer+ and UPPAbaby Minu v3. The Joolz features a compact fold, easy maneuverability, and user-friendly design, whereas the Minu v3 is versatile enough for travel and daily use, providing greater value for money.
