Diono Quantum pushchair review

• Melanie Grant

In a nutshell

The first pushchair from Diono; it's great on smooth or rough terrain, but it's quite heavy and not great up high kerbs .

What we tested

• Extra large canopy, space-saving seat unit cleverly converts in carrycot, sizeable shopping basket, sturdy and robust, ventilation mesh window..
• Difficult to get up high kerbs, heavy in weight, magnetic peekaboo window cover flaps in the wind when open, need two hands to push

Latest deals from trusted retailers

Showing item 1 of 25

Key features of the Diono Quantum pushchair:

• Age suitability: Birth until 22kg (approx. 4 years)
• Type of buggy: Single pram
• Weight: 14.3kg
• Fold: One-handed fold
• Travel system compatible: Yes
• Total cost: £500

Most mums have heard, or most definitely seen products from Diono. This American brand is best known for its award-winning car seats and ridiculously vast range of travel and car seat accessories.

The Quantum is the brand’s first pushchair, it costs £500 and marketed as multi-mode buggy. As far as pushchairs go, the Quantum has some notable features; the carrycot ingeniously converts into a seat unit, which will take a child right up to 22kg, roughly 4-years-old.

Launched in June 2017, I tested the Quantum on shopping trips, at BBQ’s and on school runs with my 3-month old, Isabella and her twin brothers in tow. We also went off-road in parks, on football pitches and for river walks.

What’s the Diono Quantum like to push?

It’s a breeze! Using it on shopping trips, wheeling around obstacles and handling slightly raised kerbs, all super easy.

Equally, the Quantum is at home going from smooth to rough surfaces. I’ve been impressed with it on river walks and in the park with the kids. With wheels in fixed position, it glides over tree roots, uneven surfaces and stone-filled pathways.

The sticking point, raised kerbs. They are a challenge for this pushchair and the Quantum suspension is barely noticeable when mounting high kerbs.

That’s also in part due to the fact that it is not a lightweight buggy. Weighing 14.3kg, it’s heavier than some double buggies.

You do end up pushing down on the footrest – old-school style - to lift the buggy up and over the kerb.

Another challenge is manoeuvring the Quantum with one hand. I had to work out a way to do it while pulling two scooters!

Of course, that’s only really a problem for a mum like me; someone who has toddler or preschool-aged twins and a young baby. Personal requirements aside, it’s not easy to manoeuvre with one hand.

You can buy the Quantum pushchair from Uberkids .

What’s the handle bar like?

The neoprene handle bar is great for grip and it’s thick. Height-wise it’s high even at its lowest point, I’m 5’5” but my 6’4” husband (with his big man’s hands) loves every aspect of the handle bar.

The high handle bar has 6 different height positions, so in that respect, the Quantum is perfect for tall parents.

It’s worth noting that it has to be adjusted with two hands pressing the buttons either side.

What’s the buggy brake like?

It’s a foot break and it has a one-step, push-on/push-off brake system, which is simple to use.

But it does needs a firm push. And if, for whatever reason, you hang a nappy bag on the end of your buggy, you may find it harder to reach. But most importantly the brake works well.

I tested the brakes on slopes on pavements, up mini hills in the park and on sleek, shiny tiled floors.

What car seats is the Quantum compatible with?

Diono will soon launch the Radius i-Size Infant car seat (probably November 2017) which’ll make the Quantum a complete travel system.

But until then, the Quantum is compatible with the car seats below, and the best thing is you get the seat adapters included with the pushchair.

• Cybex Aton Q i-Size
• Joie Gemm i-Size
• Kiddy Evo Lunafix
• Maxi Cosi Cabriofix
• Maxi Cosi Citi
• Nuna Pipa I Size
• Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus

Can you interact with your little ones in the Quantum?

Yes. You have a great choice with Quantum. Parent or world facing with both seat and unusually the carrycot. So with baby lying and looking straight up at you.

My personal favourite is cooing and smiling through the peekaboo window. We enjoy that.

Is baby protected by the sunshade?

Most definitely yes. I’m absolutely in love with the Quantum hood. Diono call it the XL Eclipse hood and say it offers SPF50+ protection.

It’s a four-tier canopy and best in its class. With the pull-out sun visor, it comes and up and over the baby spanning the length of the carrycot.

So no need to waste money on parasols that don’t shade or fall off and it’s a great shield in short showers, if you don’t have your raincover.

It’s also brilliant at blocking out the light and creating the darkness for daytime naps while you’re out and about. Then there’s the mesh ventilation window and the peekaboo window my daughter loves. I could bang on about the hood for longer but I will stop there.

What’s the storage like?

Very good. The fabric shopping basket is easy to access and impressive in size – a shopaholic’s dream. With the Quantum there’s no need for basket-envy.

It’s up there with the likes of the Baby Jogger City Select and UPPAbaby Vista. Diono boasts it has the space for a cabin sized luggage bag and the basket’s integrated in the fold.

Another nice touch is the elasticated loops in the basket that hold the car seat adapters. For extra storage there’s also a pocket at the back of the seat unit which is big enough to fit my laptop, phone and purse in.

How long could the Quantum last me?

Longer than most. The Quantum can be used from birth right up to a child weighing 22kg which is 4-years-old, roughly.

Is the Quantum affordable for what it is?

Very. For £500 you get so many cool and convenient features that save you time, effort and money from buying accessories.

And there’s a lot included in the package, except the car seat. You even get car seat adapter as part of the package.

Is it suitable for a newborn?

Yes. The carrycot is roomy and adequately padded. This coupled with the excellent XL canopy offering full (and I mean full) coverage from the sun, mesh ventilation and peekaboo window, your newborn is well looked after.

And when you’re little one soon gets bored of lying flat, you can convert the carrycot into the seat unit with 4 simple clicks. You can use the seat as early as 3-6 months in recline position.

How comfortable is the seat?

The seat size is ample. A child as old as 4 can comfortably enjoy the seat. But I think for most 5 year olds it’s a bit of a stretch.

The one-hand recline is smooth and won't rock or wake the baby up should you need to change position mid-sleep.

Is the Quantum strong, durable?

Yes. It’s one of the greatest plus points. The frame is strong, sturdy and has a symmetrical design to prevent accidental kicks.

You can rely on the Quantum frame. It’s a buggy that won't tip over when you take baby out even with nappy bag and shopping bags hanging off the handlebar. Great for a shopaholic like me.

Can you fold the Diono Quantum with one hand?

Yes. It’s simple, clever and compact. It’s all in the wrist. You have to perform a tri-action move of slide button, twist handle and pull up, then it folds.

It feels like Diono have thought of everything with the integrate shopping basket, an automatic locking clip , and the tether strep to carry the frame which is perfect if you’re holding your little one’s hand at the same time.

And it can be folded with or without the seat attached.

It’s also wonderfully simple to unfold, my 5-year old twins could probably do it. Just unclip the safety catch lift the handle bar out and up into position.

What’s it like to store?

Really good. The fold is really compact and better still the frame can stand upright so useful if you need to store it in a cupboard or small boot.

The wheels come off in seconds with the press of a button, if needed. What makes it unique is that bassinet converts into a toddler seat by attaching 4 clips on either side, making it easy to change and great no need to store carrycot!

Unpacking the Diono Quantum:

The box alone looks promising. Compact in size, considering it contains a pushchair, pulling the Quantum out of the box, it feels a bit on the heavy side which isn’t what I expected.

Has to be the smallest package I’ve seen that contains a buggy. Just looking at the box it offers so much.

It is easy to assemble?

All-in-all it was easy enough taking around 30 minutes. However, there was some guesswork involved in putting the Quantum together due to some of the instructions being vague.

It took a few goes – for me and my husband – to figure out some of the zip fastenings which are small and fiddly to add to it.

For example, the instructions didn’t mention there are two zips, of differing colours for the liner.

What’s in the box?

• Convertible seat
• Carriage liner
• Car seat adaptors

Optional extras

Diono are the masters of car and buggy accessories so this is just a few:

• Diono Radius Infant Car Seat - £130 (to be released)
• Quantum Cup Holder £8
• All-weather foot muff £50
• Cool mesh comfort liner £20
• Buggy Tech station £18
• Buggy Buddy £9
• Buggy Hooks £4
• Cuddle Soft support £19
• Ultra Dry Seat £15
• Car seat travel bag £20 (81.3 x 50.8 x 45.7cm)

MadeForMums verdict:

It feels like Diono thought of everything in designing the Quantum. It’s for parents who put convenience and practicality first and want a buggy that will get the job done for less, not more.

That said, the Quantum doesn’t scrimp on style either. It’s at home on and off-road. And its robustness means it’s perfect for carrying paraphernalia and a comfortable push for most men.

If it had better suspension and shock absorption, the Quantum would be perfect. But with so many clever features like the superior sun hood, easy fold, smart seat and an affordable price tag of £500, you can’t help but forget the suspension and fall in love with the Quantum.

Diono Quantum Stroller Features

3-in-1 Stroller

The innovative design enables the carriage to be transformed to a toddler seat by simply connecting 4 clips. Use the Quantum as a carriage in bassinet mode, as a full-size stroller in toddler seat mode, or as a travel system when you attach a compatible car seat for a complete 3-in-1 system! 

The Quantum’s convertible smart seat is suitable from birth; its flat bassinet with luxury mattress and reversible seat liner converts to an upright toddler seat / pushchair mode in an easy transition, and both options allow for world and parent facing. The best bit about the Quantum’s smart seat is that there are no extra parts to store, which is music to my ears. The XL seat has been tested for children up to 22kg, so it’s a buggy built to last.

Pushing the Quantum stroller feels super easy, from smooth to rough surfaces. It can be comfortably used on river sides, parks, etc.  With wheels in fixed position, it glides over stone filled pathways, uneven surfaces, etc. The wheels are also air-filled and great for all-terrain travel. 

Extra-large Storage Basket

The extra-large storage basket can be said to be a shopaholic’s dream feature for a stroller. The shopping basket is quite impressive in size. The Diono boasts of the fact that it has the space for a cabin sized luggage bag and yet integrated into the stroller’s easy fold.  For extra storage there’s also a pocket at the back of the seat unit which is big enough to fit a kids game, laptop, phone, etc

The one-hand recline is smooth and won’t rock or wake the baby up should you need to change position mid-sleep.

One-Hand Fold

A unique fold system, designed to fold at your pace, and effortlessly unfold.

One-step Brake  

Parents can say goodbye to scuffed and sore toes with the unique “one step brake”, designed for big boots, small shoes and is even flip-flop friendly! A simple step on, step off movement is all that’s needed to bring the stroller to a smooth stop! 

It’s a foot break and it has a one-step, push-on/push-off brake system, which is simple to use.

But it does need a firm push. And if, for whatever reason, you hang a nappy bag on the end of your buggy, you may find it harder to reach. But most importantly the brake works well.

Extra-large Canopy

The Quantum has been designed with a four-tier, eclipse canopy that protects against the elements. This canopy also includes a peek-a-boo window, ventilation panel for airflow, and pull down sun visor for maximum comfort all year long. Whatever the weather is, the canopy got it covered. It’s a four-tier canopy and best in its class. With the pull-out sun visor, it comes up and over the baby spanning the length of the carrycot. With this, you do not need to waste your money on strollers that don’t shade or fall off and it’s a great shield in short showers if you don’t have your rain cover.

It’s also brilliant at blocking out the light and creating the darkness for daytime naps while you’re out and about. Then there’s the mesh ventilation window and the peekaboo window my daughter loves. I could bang on about the hood for longer but I will stop there. 

Car Seat Ready

Quantum is car seat compatible with some strollers such as the; Cybex, Inglesina Zippy Strollers, etc. Adapters are included making it the perfect travel system for every journey.

Adjustable Handlebar

The Diono Quantum handle bar is perfect for tall parents. The 6 position handlebar means it’s perfect for adjusting to people with different heights.

The high handle bar has 6 different height positions.

Is It Safe in Moscow?

Stanislav Solntsev / Getty Images

When you visit Moscow , Russia, you’re seeing one of the world’s largest, and most expensive, capital cities . While there is a history of violent crime against foreign journalists and aid personnel in Russia, a trip to Moscow is usually safe for mainstream travelers. Most tourists in Moscow only face potential issues with petty crime, though terrorism is also a concern. Visitors should stick to the principal tourist areas and abide by the local security advice.

Travel Advisories

• The U.S. Department of State urges travelers to avoid travel to Russia because of COVID-19 and to "exercise increased caution due to terrorism, harassment, and the arbitrary enforcement of local laws."  
• Anyone exploring more of Russia should avoid "The North Caucasus, including Chechnya and Mount Elbrus, due to terrorism, kidnapping,   and   risk of civil unrest." Also, travelers should stay away from "Crimea due to Russia’s occupation of the Ukrainian territory   and   abuses by its occupying authorities."  
• Canada states travelers should use a high degree of caution in Russia due to the threat of terrorism and crime.  

Is Moscow Dangerous?

The Moscow city center is typically safe. In general, the closer you are to the Kremlin , the better. Travelers mainly need to be aware of their surroundings and look out for petty crime. Be especially careful in tourist areas such as Arbat Street and crowded places like the Moscow Metro transit system. The suburbs are also generally fine, though it is advised to stay away from Maryino and Perovo districts.

Terrorism has occurred in the Moscow area, leading authorities to increase security measures. Be more careful at tourist and transportation hubs, places of worship, government buildings, schools, airports, crowds, open markets, and additional tourist sites.

Pickpockets and purse snatching happen often in Russia, perpetrated by groups of children and teenagers who distract tourists to get their wallets and credit cards. Beware of people asking you for help, who then trick you into their scheme. Don’t expect a backpack to be a safe bag bet; instead, invest in something that you can clutch close to your body or purchase a money belt . Always diversify, storing some money in a separate location so that if you are pickpocketed, you'll have cash elsewhere. Keep an eye out for thieves in public transportation, underground walkways, tourist spots, restaurants, hotel rooms and homes, restaurants, and markets.

Is Moscow Safe for Solo Travelers?

Large cities like Moscow in Russia are overall fairly safe if you are traveling alone, and the Moscow Metro public transit is a secure and easy way to get around. But it is still a good idea to follow basic precautions as in any destination. Avoid exploring alone at night, especially in bad areas. You may want to learn some basic Russian phrases or bring a dictionary, as many locals don't speak English. However, in case you need any help, there are tourist police that speak English. Also, exploring with other trusted travelers and locals or on professional tours is often a good way to feel safe.

Is Moscow Safe for Female Travelers?

Catcalling and street harassment are infrequent in Moscow and the rest of Russia and females traveling alone don't usually have problems. There are plenty of police officers on the streets as well. Still, it serves to stick to Moscow's well-lit, public areas, avoid solo night walks, and use your instincts. Women frequenting bars may take receive some friendly attention. Females can wear whatever they want, but those entering Orthodox churches will be required to cover up. Though women in Russia are independent, domestic violence and other inequality issues take place regularly.

Safety Tips for LGBTQ+ Travelers

Russia is not known as a gay-friendly country. However, Moscow is one of the more welcoming cities with a blooming LGBTQ+ community and many friendly restaurants, bars, clubs, and other venues. Hate crimes in Russia have increased since the 2013 anti-gay propaganda law. Openly LGBTQ+ tourists in this conservative country may experience homophobic remarks, discrimination, or even violence, especially if traveling with a partner. Also, while women hold hands or hug publicly—whether romantically involved or not—men should avoid public displays of affection to prevent being insulted or other issues.

Safety Tips for BIPOC Travelers

Moscow  and other big cities in Russia have sizable populations of various cultures, so discrimination against BIPOC travelers is rarer than in other parts of the country where it can become dangerous. Some people living in Russia who are Black, Asian, Jewish, and from other backgrounds have experienced racial discrimination and violence. Tourists won't usually experience overt racism but may be the recipients of some stares. If anyone should bother you, be polite and resist being taunted into physically defending yourself.

Safety Tips for Travelers

Travelers should consider the following general tips when visiting:

• It's best not to drink the tap water. If you do, boil it before drinking, though showering is safe and the amount used to brush teeth is generally not harmful. Mineral water is widely drunk, especially at restaurants, and if you prefer not to have it carbonated ask for “ voda byez gaz” (water without gas).
• If you need emergency assistance in case of fire, terrorism, medical issues, or more, dial 112 in Russia for bilingual operators.
• Be judicious about taking photographs, especially of police or officials. This can potentially bring unwanted attention to yourself by members of law enforcement who won’t mind asking to see your passport. Also avoid snapping photos of official-looking buildings, such as embassies and government headquarters.
• Carry your passport in as secure a manner as possible. If you get stopped for any reason by the police, they can fine or arrest you if you don't have the document with you. Also, keep photocopies of your passport, the page on which your travel visa appears, and any other documents that relate to your stay in Russia.
• Use official taxis only and steer clear of illegal taxi companies, especially at night. Ask your hotel to call a reputable taxi company.
