Quinny Buzz 3 Review (2009 model)

Well i have to say on first look at the Buzz..WoW! it's so very stylish. I purchased this for the arrival of my daughter in May 10. After purchasing a big heavy travel system for my eldest 5yrs ago i swore that i wouldn't make the same mistake again. The Buzz appeared quite light weight for a travel system, easy to manoeuvre, easy to switch between pushchair and car seat mode and easy to put up and down and all these boxes were ticked. It done everything i needed it to do.

I decided when purchasing that i would buy the pushchair (strawberry colourway) and the maxi-cosi pebble car seat (jet black colourway) that can be attached to the chassis using the included adaptors. I didn't bother getting the carrycot as to be honest i can be quite lazy when it comes to walking and most of the time i opt to use the car, which is why i invested in a more top of the range car seat. Had i of been a one for walking and using public transport then i would recommend the dreami carrycot so your newborn can lie completely flat and all enclosed especially for winter times. I however opted for the pushchair with the cosytoes to make it that bit more padded for my little one.

The Buzz is so smooth to push, really easy to manoeuvre with one hand, which i need as generally i have one hand on my 5yr old and another on the pushchair. The back two wheels are pneumatic tyres and the front wheel is a solid swivel wheel.

Whats included i hear you ask... well with this model you get two seat pads a soft padded one suitable from birth to about 18mnths, and a thinner wipe clean wider seat pad suitable from approx 18mnths to roughly 3yrs. The sun canopy (hood) chest pads and raincover are also included, and with this model you also get the buzz box (little black bag on the back).

The handle bar is adjustable in height with a quick press of a button, the bumper is fully removable making getting a wriggly toddler in and out far easier. The foot rest can also be adjusted up or down. The seat unit can face either the parent or in can be turned around to go forward facing, in parent facing mode the seat has two recline positions and forward facing it has 3 recline positions. The feature i love is the unique gas-spring automatic unfolding mechanism, a great benefit.
