The Hottest Way to Stroll this Summer:Award-Winning European Quinny® Strollers Launch in U.S.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CANTON, Mass. (May 23, 2007) – Dorel Juvenile Group USA, a part of Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.B, DII.A) and a leading manufacturer and marketer of juvenile products, announces the long-awaited U.S. debut of their Dorel Europe stroller line, Quinny®, this summer. Already highly popular in Europe for trend-setting style and technology, Quinny strollers are the perfect complement to the modern parent’s lifestyle.
The Quinny® Buzz™, $499.99, will be available in select specialty stores now. Chic, colorful and convenient, the Buzz is a modular travel system, accommodating not only a reversible, reclining stroller seat, but compatible with the Quinny Dreami™ bassinet and Maxi-Cosi® Mico™ Infant Car Seat (both sold separately). On-the-go parents will love the Buzz’s hydraulic technology that unfolds the stroller at just a touch – no hands required. A height-adjustable handle ensures mom and dad’s comfort; while the stroller’s unique three-wheel design and suspension system allow easy maneuvering.
The Buzz’s cousin, the Quinny® Zapp™, $199.99, will be available in select specialty stores on August 1. A perfect travel stroller, the full-size Zapp features an ultra-compact fold – 12” x 27” – and comes with its own travel bag. Like the Buzz, it is compatible with the Maxi-Cosi® Mico™ Infant Car Seat (sold separately). In case there are spills while on the road, the Zapp’s durable nylon fabric is stain-resistant.
“We’re extremely excited to bring such a successful European brand to the American market. The Quinny® brand embodies the combination of trendsetting fashion with innovative precision engineering. It’s for parents who want stressless, reliable transportation for their children with designs that complement their individual sense of style,” said Lisa Abdinoor, Dorel Juvenile Group’s director of marketing for the Quinny and Maxi-Cosi brands.
The Quinny Buzz and Zapp will be available at select specialty stores such as Albee Baby Carriage, Babystyle.com, Buy Buy Baby, Giggle, Right Start and other select retailers nationwide.
Additional information about the Quinny Buzz and Zapp will be available on www.quinny.com on June 15.
