Stay away from pneumatic blow up tyres. Thats why I'm changing mine, it gets a flat pretty much every week (actually front tyre has been flat for weeks and I just can't be bothered changing it!).

Actually, I do quite like the quinny buzz (its parent facing and has solid wheels).

I blame you if I make bids.

Go into a bike store and ask the assistant for some slime!!! brill stuff (supposed to be used in bike tyres but can be used in any air fill tyre xx
it helps stop punctures xx

As for the quinny buzz ive had one and i personally thought it was crap!!! it feels rickity and is a pain in the rear end to fold!!
not worth the money imho xx

Do agree with the person who said about babies needing a lie flat pram or carrycot though, jane do a lieflat car seat (called a matrix i think) and there are various companys that do a auto carrycot (one that goes in the car) xx

The Quinny Buzz lies right back to the horizontal, so is there really a need for a carry cot.?

yup you do need a carrycot idealy as the buzz seat is a bucket seat and not good for babys spine xx

Lie flat carrycots/car seats are not recommened by Which? or RoSPA, they do not offer the baby the same protection as a standard car seat with a 3 point harness in the event of a crash.

:rotfl: Sorry, visions of walking upto a guy and saying 'Can I have some of your slime please?' :rotfl:

I will have a look though, I think it will be worth it for that one line alone!

True..... and so we go back to the time limits on how long is best to keep a baby in a car seat as RoSPA don't tell you it is possible for a young baby to suffocate in a car seat .

Son 2 rarely used the carry cot piece of the last travel system, in the house it was the moses basket, then when out and about, we would travel in the car, so the car seat was used on top of the pram.

Carry cot became the toy storage box after a whilst

I've seen this one, with no car seat but a carrycot. So ideal to have and purchase a different car seat, and transfer baby over.

A bit like the olden days..

Babies should not be in car seats for more than two hours, and should have a minimum 30 minute break from them, according to what I have read, and my Health Visitor, so you really shouldn't use a car seat as a pram.

Car seats hold their spines bent so are not right for use everyday - they really are CAR seats, for journeys only.

LINK to story on baby suffocating in car seat. Scary!
