Overall good stroller

The above reviews are correct regarding the lack of storage, difficulty collapsing, and front wheel. WD40 will help front wheel (do not use on frame), which gets worse in the winter months. You can buy an extra storage box that attaches underneath. No need for bassinet as once the baby outgrows the carseat he/she will fit in the seat.Pros
Light weight, attractive, easily opens, carseat fits with base requiring less equipment. Good customer service. Parts replaced when problems occured. I called x2 so I would have extra front wheel replacements.Cons
Front wheel sticks. I called the company x2 who sent me 2 replacements. I am now just wearing out the original wheel. Foam came off front bar and the company sent me a replacement. No questions asked! Can be tough to close, but gets easier with use and when clean.Choking Hazard

I bought the Quinny Buzz under the illusion that it was a light weight buggy that was easy to manoever and fold. its an awful buggy and the worst three hundred pound i have ever spent.Pros
The Buggy can be turned to face both ways.comfortable ride for the childCons
difficult to steer because front wheel turns sideways, heavy, difficulf to fold, wide. My child nearly choked to death after he took a bite out of the bar in front which is made out of foam.Front wheel????

I loved this system when I first bought it, I used the maxi cosi when going shopping with the car and the carrycot when walking somewhere. I've since decided that my love is fadeing. I've had several punctures which persuaded me to buy a spare wheel (just incase), I've had to go into mothercare about the shortness of the straps on the stroller seat. They gave me a pair of extensions. My daughter is only one! This is supposed to do them up to four, which is doubtful. Finally the front wheel, Who came up with that one?, it was fine in the begining but now it does nothing but get stuck. If you're getting a 3 wheeler you need three big wheels with a good grip.Pros
Looks good, Carrycot doubles as downstairs crib for short naps. You can turn stroller around to face you when the child is older. Works brilliantly with maxicosi attachment.Cons
Front wheels are a disaster. Back wheels are nearly as bad. They get punctures too easilyEXPENSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT

DO NOT BUY THIS. When I read reviews on this before buying it, I found two negative reviews - it doesn't fit in a Renault Clio without taking the wheels off and there isn't much storage. I now know that's just the tip of the iceberg...The adjustable handle has broken, and the frame is being returned to Dorel by Mothercare (wonder Customers Services), who are lending me a pushchair while it is mended. This has enabled me to discover exactly how bad the Buzz is, and I've even taking to asking other mums if they have the same problems.
Pros
We were able to use the carrycot as a bed when my son grew out of his Moses basketCons
By far the biggest pain is the front wheel. If you reverse the buggy, the wheel turns all the way around, but will then only turn half way back, which means you are trying to push a wheel sideways - this is most noticeable in shops and has caused me to have to visit the doctor with chest pains caused by strained muscles. The breaks don't work. The pump-up tyres get punctures. It is difficult to collapse and in cold weather it can't be done without gloves. You can't collapse it with the carrycot on and it is very difficult to fit the carrycot into the car with the frame. The frame is too big for your average car, so you have to take the wheels off to get it in (which are obviously dirty). The straps on the buggy part do not clip in separately like a highchair - you have to hold them together like a car seat - this is very difficult when you have a struggling toddler. The straps do not adjust much - he always seems to have been too big for the pushchair. Not having two separate handles makes carrying shopping difficult. It is very expensive.Love this pram!!

I decided on this pram as it's fantastic looking and really eyecatching (we have the turquoise Capri colour). Everyone comments on it.I bought the whole package - standard pram, maxi cosi car seat and traditional laydown pram attachment.
When my son was born I used the car seat on the base which was soo handy. It was great for clipping on the base from the car and when my son had fallen asleep we didn't have to wake him up to get him out. The traditional laydown style pram attachment was used for a couple of months at first as i felt the original pushchair was too big for our newborn. To be honest I barely used this and wouldn't buy it again. Once you finish using the car seat on the base the baby will fit in the normal pram.
The collapsing action is great and one of the best features, especially when you have baby in arms and it pops up without you having to struggle.
I fit comfortably in the boot of my car (BMW 1 series) which isn't that big. (my hubby's Astra boot is miles bigger)
Pros
LooksPop up action and collapsing motion
Maxi cosi car seat attachment
Cons
The front wheel can be tempramentalNo storage space. I bought the shopping basket and I can squeeze a small bag on it.
You can't attach toys onto the pram.
HELP

Everyone always admires the quinny & it was the look which attracted me to it in the first place. As my son who is now 20 months gets biggger, the quinny buzz gets more difficult to push -the front wheel is a nightmare, it refuses to swivel on most surfaces especially on shop floors so I have to press down on the handle hard & turn it around corners. Also I cant fit through the aisles in smaller shops. I often feel like I am pushing a supermarket trolly (one of the dodgy ones that has a mind of its own) In winter time when my son is wearing a puffy coat it is difficult to get the straps tofit his shoulders comfortably. I know I am not the only one experiencing these problems as I have read many reviews tring to find a solution for the front wheel. Would love us all to get Quinny/Dorel to do something for us / deal with these complaints!!
Pros
Easy to clean, both material & frame. Great when you have a new born & use the frame with the maxi cosi car seat & base in the car. Love the buzz box & shopping basket. Extending handle great for my husband who is taller than me.Cons
Can't fit it in my boot!Won't fold down with the seat attached
rain cover rips very easily
plastic inside the hood/canopy cracks & tears where the hood is continually put up & down
FRONT WHEEL!!!
