Nice indoor stroller, but not worth the money, June 13, 2005
Reviewer: MMEand1 from Delaware

Overall Grade   6.00/10  (6)


Pros: Can watch my baby while on the go
Cons: It has a cheap feel to it

I really wanted to get this stroller and wanted to love it so bad! After getting it and putting it together (easy to assemble) I took it out for a walk. I love the fact that I can look at my baby while strolling. She seemed very comfortable and the recline feature was great. This however, is NOT an outdoor stroller. We went for a walk just around the block and I was worried about shaken baby syndrome because the stroller does not handle the sidewalk very good! We took it out to the store and had no problems. It handles nicely indoors and is a very easy stroller to open up. It has a cheap feel to the handle and while the handle is adjustable, it seems a bit flimsy to me. I do not feel that this stroller is worth the money that they are selling it for. I was fortunante enough to get a good deal on it, but would not pay full price for it.

lightweight, easy to fold and push, comfortable, November 13, 2006

Overall Grade   9.00/10  (9)


Pros: UNFOLDING ITSELF
Cons: No basket unless you buy one seperately

I brought my Quinny Buzz secondhand on Ebay last week for £130! Which is a bargain as it is only 6 months old. I have always wanted this pushchair and at last i have one. Mine is Black reflection and is the third buggy my son as had. It is lightweight, easy to fold and unfold, light to push and the best thing is it can face me so we can chat and walk, and face away so he can be nosy! The hood stops the wind getting at him and the raincovers fit the buggy brilliantly. I already have the footmuff which is like a minature sleeping bag and very warm almost like a duvet. I would recommend this pushchair to anyone, it is probably better for you if you walk alot and don't have to fold it down to get it in the car. It is easy to get on buses as well.

I think it is a very nice stroller that is very sturdy, June 10, 2005

Pros: the seat comfort, the steering
Cons: The lack of a basket!

I think this is by far my favorite stroller! It looks to be very comfortable for my son (who is two). The seat is comfy, the large canopy provides a lot of shade, and the steering is really good. The adjustable handle is also great for my husband and I. I also love the way you can take the seat and the wheels off if you need a really compact fold. IF only it had a basket, it would be fabulous!

High cool factor stroller with some issues, September 22, 2005
Reviewer: hillview from Boston, MA

Overall Grade   9.00/10  (9)


Pros: High cool factor/rugged/comfy/smooth ride/bassinett
Cons: No storage/heavy/sub optimal fold

Got this stroller in Germany WITH the carycot and bundle me sleeping bag thing for $550. It is very cool (people stop and stare at it) and men seem to really like it. My 2 month old son liked the bassinette til about a week ago. Now he loves to look around in the seat stroller while looking at me (reversable seat is great). There isn't a lot of storage so I use a skip hop. It doesn't fold small. It is heavy. The ride in the city is great -- very ATV esqye and compared to the zooper swing (which I love) it is much easier to get around the bricks with. I got is b/c everyone around me has the bug and I wanted something different and I am happy I got the Buzz. Just know what the downsides are before you buy!

Too easy to unfold; Very difficult to fold down, July 20, 2008
Reviewer: numommie from Maryland

Overall Grade   4.00/10  (4)


Pros: Looks nice
Cons: Lock mechanism broke after 4 uses

I bought the Quinny b/c it looked great and got a A rating from the "Baby Bargains" book. The self-unfolding mechanism was easy to use...a little too easy. It just unfolded when I touched the handle. In order to fold down the stroller, I had to press the buttons on either side of the stroller, push down hard, and avoid touching the handle bar. Then in order to lock it (so that it doesn't unfold while I try to place it into the car), I had to pull on the small plastic ring attached to a bungee cord. The cord was short and difficult to put on the metal protrusion. I was literally kneeling on the ground in order to do this. I thought that it would be easier to do after a few times, but it broke after 3 days. I only got to use it 4 times.

I expected a better, more durable locking mechanism for the price I paid ($549.99). I sure hope the manufacturers design a new lock.

Overall, I liked the look of the stroller and the baby was comfortable in it. Steering was great with the three wheels. However, I did not like having the bend down in order to activate the locking mechanism. (Locking it is necessary if you want to move it into a car trunk.) I also am extremely disappointed that the lock broke after 4 uses.

I would only recommend this stroller to someone who would keep it upright b/c folding it down was difficult for me.
