hello
moneysavers
i want a quinny buzz have wanted one for so long
now am thinking i cud scrape up enuff to get a 2nd hand one off ebay
but before buying i thought id ask the mum/dads here wat they thought
i imagine its small nad easy to steer with one hand
there for enabling me to pay my bus fare push with one hand and other hand to stop my toddler flee ing down to the back of the bus or falling over
same situation in supermarkets altho i dont think the pram will help there its not small enuff to go in the trolley:rotfl: only joking
also i catch taxis home when lil miss is having a tantrum not very money saving more sanity saving:mad: so the auto fold and unfold would help as its rare to find a taxi driver to help u even when u got 2 kids in ure arms
but there sems to be alot of them on ebay
so is there summet wrong with them
if they are as great as the hype why is everyone selling one
anyway share ure experiences please the auction im watching ends tomoz
thanks

I bought one on Ebay and tried it for an hour then parceled it back up and re sold it. I hated it.

It wouldn't steer with one hand, which was the whole reason for me buying it - I needed to have the dog lead in one hand and the pram in the other.
If I tried to turn it, it would start to tip over and I just didn't feel very confident with it.

My daughter is 2 and fitted very well in it - in the old style seat, she wouldn't fit in the new one as they made it very small.

I had wanted one for ages too and now wish I hadn't bothered.
I went out and bought another Loola as that is what I had before and now I just have a shorted lead on the dog and have it round my wrist so have 2 hands on the buggy.

I am sure there are loads of people out there who love them and they will be along soon to tell you their views.

This is only my opinion I am not saying whether or not you should buy one.

I personally haven't had any experience of one but a friend of mine has.

She didn't find it any good either. And when her LO had a tantrum in it he rocked backwards and forwards enough to tip over.

Don't know if anyone else has had the same problem. She even wrote a letter of complaint to the manufacturers.

Hi,

I had one and absolutely hated it. It is big and bulky. I have a Meriva and it took up the whole boot. It doesn't steer very well. The folding action is quite hard to work and can't be done one handed.

I shall refrain from answering about the Quinny, but I have a Petite Star Zia which is similar, lightweight and cheaper!!! It doesn't tip even with a heavy nappy bag on the back. Only problem is the teeny shopping thingy under the seat.

The Zapps are for small children/babies only, my daughter was too big at 16 months for the seat. I don't like them.

My friend had one for her daughter, hardly used it was way too small and and her little girl was tiny .

Have a look on http://messageboards.ivillage.co.uk/iv-ukpbcarseats

Ah, i have been deliberating between this and a Loola (want something small and zippy, not these sodding great chariots you can hardly get through a shop doorway).

Looks like the loola then.

I bought a good second hand one from ebay. I am the grandma and I use it LOTS, every day in fact. I absolutely love it. It is so versatile. I love the fact that I used it from birth with the dreami. I would definitely buy one again if you want an all round pram
