| 'DISAPPOINTED MY DAUGHTER GOT TOO BIG FOR IT...AT 7 MONTHS!' | | | Weaknesses:
Just seeing if anyone else has had this problem. I have loved my Quinny Buzz for all the reasons others have mentioned, until I noticed the straps were getting tight on my 7 month old. I have made them as big as they go. I took the footmuff off which gives a bit more room but | | Overall:
I am most disappointed since it was hardly cheap & I thought it was the one-stop solution for all my pushchair/travel system needs. I am now looking for another stroller to see her through her toddler years.
By the way my daughter is a very normal height & weight for her age! |

Great to push, looks good, daughter is comfy with all the different positions plus she can face me or face the world. | | Weaknesses:
Storage but worth sacrificing. Quite tricky to collapse until you've got the hang of it. | | Overall:
Very happy with it. |

| 'FABULOUS PUSHCHAIR, LOOKS GOOD AND GREAT TO PUSH' | | Strengths:
Lightweight so easy to lift to get in and out of car, and to push. Seat faces both ways so great for you to be face to face with a younger baby. adjustable height handle which is much better than all the prams i have had before. All three wheels have suspension so great comfortable ride for baby. | | Weaknesses:
Can be hard to fold until you get the knack of it, not easy to fold if your shorter, im 5 foot 7 and i can just about reach the buttons to fold it down whilst leaning over the handle which you have to push at the same time. Basket available seperatly which isnt very big. | | Overall:
Overall its a fantastic pushchair, i am a mad pramaholic and have had several since my baby was born as i could never find the 'right' one, and now i have finally found it. The Quinny buzz has everything most prams have plus much more, its the easiest to push and easiest to get into the car than all the prams i have had. I usually have to remove the seat to fold it to put into the car but this is so easy to do it takes up hardly any time and its also really lightweight so getting it in and out of the car is easy, i have a bad back so this has been a great pram for me being able to put it into the car without having someone to help me. You can fold it with the seat on which my husband can do, i havent got the knack of that yet. You can take nearly all of it apart, the handle, bumper bar, all wheels etc all come off really easily so if you need more space in the car or have a smaller car then its great for that. I read lots of bad reviews about this pushchair before i got it and was put off by them but im glad i did get it anyway as its a great pram. |

| 'PERFECT PRAM FOR ALL OCCASIONS. ' | | Strengths:
Simple to convert from car seat to pram to buggy! Fits in a Clio boot easily. Perfect for strolling round the streets and is also great on rough tracks for those forest walks. Great for maneuvering round the shops and looks stylish to. | | Weaknesses:
None really. If I had to say one it would be the lack of space underneath for the shopping in comparrison to the larger prams but it's not bad! | | Overall:
A superb pram that I would highly recommend to anyone. We have found it brilliant. The extendable handle is especially useful so that you can lower or heighten as required saving your back! |

| 'A BRILLIANT PUSHCHAIR' | | Strengths:
Lightweight, comfortable for baby and to push. Easy to fold | | Weaknesses:
No shopping basket | | Overall:
I would recommend the Quinny Buzz to anyone. First its a travel system with a carseat & carrycot that can be fixed onto the same frame (one at a time of course). Then the seat comes into its own facing mum or dad to chat and walk or facing forwards to be nosy. Matching footmuff so little legs and toes do not get cold and raincovers as well. The buzz box (changing bag) that sits on frame its amazing how much you can get in it. Its like a tardis it goes on forever!! The only let down is no shopping basket but you can buy one or carry bags on shopping clips on handlebar (i got four bags + one in basket today!). |

| 'A LIGHT WEIGHT, EASY TO USE PUSHCHAIR' | | Strengths:
light weight, easy to set up, compact | | Weaknesses:
no shopping basket | | Overall:
The Quinny Buzz has a unique 'gas spring' technology which means it can be unfolded with one hand. YES!!! That is right! ONE HAND! It is very light. I literally pick it out of the boot with one hand. Place it on the ground. Then slightly pull up on the handle and like MAGIC, it unfolds!
The washable seat unit can face forward or backward and be adjusted to lie virtually flat making the pushchair suitable from birth. There is much talk about babies needing to face TOWARDS the person pushing them for two reasons. One reason is that the adult can keep a good eye on the little one and the other reason is so that the baby can interact with the adult which aids language development.
All wheels have suspension and the highly maneuverable front swivel wheel can also be locked. This is an added bonus if you happen to be by yourself and the car is parked on an incline. You don't want "Jr." rolling down the hill while you are unlocking the car do you? Another bonus is that the back wheels can be easily taken off to fit even the smallest of cars. I have an Agila that it fits easily in. A friend has a Mini and hers is in her boot in only minutes!
The three wheel configuration makes it easy to get about with and change directions easily. I have been able to get into the tightest of spots quickly and easily.
The tyres have their own air pump that allows for a very smooth ride for the child. My own son falls asleep within minutes of being in this pushchair!
The handle is also height adjustable. I am only 5 ft. 2 inches tall and keep it at it's lowest height. However, my husband is over 6 ft. tall and has it at it's highest height. This is his favourite feature because it allows him to push it and not hurt his back!
A rain cover, sun canopy, changing bag and car seat adapters are included. It converts to travel system with the addition of the Cabrio infant carrier.
At the moment, I am using it as a travel system. The car seat quickly goes from car to pram frame in seconds!!! With just the push of a couple of buttons baby can move from car to pram to car again and never wake up!
I have also bought the matching travel muff for the winter time.
There is one draw back. There is a changing bag that attaches to the frame. However, besides that, there is no area for putting any shopping. You have to get creative with your shopping. I usually tie my bags to the handles and this has worked a treat. However, I wouldn't recommend doing a load of grocery shopping that you are going to have to walk home with.
Now, here are some of the boring details.
Max Weight Capacity 44.09 lb.
Folded Width 7.87 in.
Folded Depth 23.62 in.
Folded Height 31.5 in.
Weight 26.46 lb.
Overall Warranty 1 Year
Frame Warranty 2 Years
This pushchair with the added car seat and foot muff cost £430 at Mothercare. I know this is more than a lot of pushchairs on the market. However, I felt that it was well worth the money and I should be able to use it until my son is 5 years old.
When I am out and about with this chair, I get numerous comments on the look and also the ease of use. Many are very impressed with its design and ask about it and where they can get one.
My son LOVES his new "baby" wheels and mummy and daddy enjoy it as well!! |

| 'LOOKS GREAT AND A PLEASURE TO USE IF POPPING AROUND!' | | Strengths:
Front swivel wheel which makes it really easy to manoevre. Adjustable handle height and seat can face forwards or backwards. | | Weaknesses:
Quite wide and no storage basket under the seat but there is a clip on bag (very small) that attaches to the back so space is very limited. Difficult to hang shopping onto it. | | Overall:
Great buggy but only if you are popping around - not so good if you are putting it in and out of car etc as I needed to take the wheels off every time i put it into the boot of my small car. It is easy to fold out especially when you're carrying kids and shopping! Little bit more difficult to fold up again but just takes a few goes to get the hang of it! |
