20 of 21 people found the following review helpful.Choice - Quinny Buzz 2011 in "Brown Boost"To start I should disclose that I am an expecting father, thus, my child has yet to be born (lol) and so I might update this review when stroller is used with my child in it. For now this review is based on my inspections of the stroller once it was taken out of the box, assembled, and tested around a few blocks. In preparation for my first kid I did a lot of research on strollers and narrowed down my choice to the Quinny Buzz.Why?- My concerns were safety, comfort, ease on collapsing and unfolding, and max weight that the stroller will hold. Secondary factors were style and looks. My choices were narrowed to the Bugaboo Chameleon, Uppababy Vista, and Quinny Buzz. The Quinny won on account of price, weight limit going to 55lbs (Chameleon was noted to max out at a little less than 40lbs), and the auto one handed (or even slight kick) unfolding mechanism. The Uppababy ran 3rd on account of reviews I read stating that the stroller would collapse unexpectedly and the unfolding method seeming to be a bit complicated.Out of box - The stroller came in a box and was very protected from being damaged during shipping. Just about every corner, hinge, etc was covered with soft foam to keep it from scratching or denting. The assembly was super easy with simply sliding the shopping net in 1st, then snapping in the wheels after. A little extra air in the tires was needed though, but no biggy. The "Boost Brown" color is NOT as shown in the factory pics. The pics depict a chocolate brown color for the seat but only the top shade comes in that color. The seat is more of a light brown (like coffee with a lot of cream added to it...lol). I don't mind, but never-the-less thought some people should know because usually people expect to get what they see (HINT HINT QUINNY inc.)Test - The tests I performed where just to see how the stroller handled and how easy it would be to put away and bring out. The first thing I did of course was to text the auto-unfolding mechanism. I have to say I am pleased with this function because it actually works. A simple nudge and boom the stroller is up and ready. There is a strap that will help prevent the stroller from unfolding when you wish not to allow it to do so (when in storage, trunk, etc).I saw videos that suggest you can fold down the stroller with the seat on but when I tried that it wasn't too easy and seem to make a snap sound that made me nervous (didn't want to break the stroller or seat). So from now on I will just take the seat off when folding the frame down. I took off the seat to face the pusher and that was a snap. Easy push buttons down, move the seat, and snap back on. One issue is that when the seat faces the pusher it only allows two positions. When its forward facing it has 3 positions. So one position is lost when the seat faces the pusher (construction flaw I guess). I bought a Quinny Dreami (in "Storm" color) for the stroller and, with the included Maxi Cosi adapters, the Dreami slides into place nice and secure. The stroller looks very nice with the Dreami so I'm very pleased.Outside testing - Took the stroller for a spin around a few blocks. Test was conducted on sidewalks, pavement streets, and around the park (grass, dirt, etc). The stroller is smooth and comfortable. Stroller was a breeze to go off and up sidewalks, the pavemented streets were a smooth walk, and on grass the stroller did not snag. I walked around trees and slid like a snake on all terrains to see the ease of pushing it around and I was able to do so without a problem, even with one hand. Canopy (sun shade) is ok, could have been a bit longer but I do like the peek-a-boo window to keep an eye on my child when the seat is forward facing.So far:PROS -*Price (compared to other brands with same style)*Auto un-folding*Compact when folded*Easy to assemble (and even disassemble)*Control on terrains*Max weight is 55lbs (which will stretch the stroller life as the child grows)* Good jogger stroller and good all around stroller.CONS -*Color did not match photo (but still satisfied)*Canopy could be bigger.*Straps could get a little tricky to adjust. Might need more practice.*When seat is set towards the stroller pusher you loose one position placement when compared to when it is foward facing.*"Dreami" is sold separately (Bugaboo and Uppababy have bassinet included)*Cup holder, mosquito cover, rain cover, also sold separately.*Under storage basket is a bit small.Recommendations - Buy the Quinny "Dreami" for the stroller. While it will only last you for about 6 months, its still stylish and doubles as a mini baby bed when you go to a friend's/family member's house. It is VERY comfy looking and the materials are very soft. Also I bought the Quinny Buzz on another "bidding" style site, brand new in a sealed box, and lucked out on the price of $265 (no tax, free shipping). =). So shop around 1st.
9 of 10 people found the following review helpful.Pros:Light weight (really light weight)Easy to fold upFolds flatEasy to lift into trunkInflatable tires make it easy to push.Good on the beach if you don't put too much pressure on the front wheelsBrake and release pedals are easy to useAccessoriesCons:PriceI purchased Safety 1st On Board 35 Air Infant Car Seat, Silverleaf and Quinny Buzz Adapter For Safety 1St Onboard 35 Air Ics, Black so I did NOT have to purchase Quinny Dreami Bassinet, Rocking Black. It worked out perfectly. You can transition the car seat from the stroller to the car without waking a sleeping baby. I would highly recommend all three products.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.After having major issues with our Britax B-Ready (brake kept failing to engage) and the Uppababy Cruz (squeaky wheels), we were ready to try something more reliable and light. After much review and visiting various stores, we found this little guy in red! Assembly was a cinch and took a hair over 10 minutes. It folds nice and small; takes up less space and is lighter than the b-ready or the cruz. Thus I am thrilled to have found this and best of all, my baby loves it!
