Pushchair choice!!

I'm driven demented thinking about puschairs. Had decided on the Quinny Buzz. But then a few friends mentioned that we shouldnt spend too much as the baby will be in a MacLaren by the time its 6-months. Quinny Buzz full package is looking around €900. So then today I see there is a deal in Mamas and Papas for the Pramette. I had originally been looking at the Pramette. Its now down to €650 this is including the car seat, isofix base, footmuff and changing bag (took this price from the UK website and converted to euro) So now I dont know what to do. The reason I was going for Buzz over Pramette was because I'm planning on doing alot of walking so thought the Buzz would be sturdier, but maybe the Pramette would do fine. Aggh Just want to vent! If anyone has any opinions send them on. Thanks

Hey Check out the website - ladybugbaby.co.uk - it has amazing packages for all brands of prams including quinny and bugaboo. I rang them to make sure they deliver to Ireland and the cost is about £40 but the cost of a full quinny set including a pram and the maxi cosi is only about €640.

Hi 2to3 thanks for replying. I cant access that site though. Can you send the full URL? Thanks

Hey Noli Sorry got that a bit wrong http://ladybugsbaby.easywebstore.co.uk/default.aspx there you go - am deffo going to order from here - hopefully wont get stung with customs taxes though.

ohh Im also wondering about prams and buggies cannot decide either, will check out that websire, thanks for posting

HI noli if your going for the Quinny buzz i'd stay clear of the 3 wheeler not to sure what the 4 wheeler one is like but i had the 3 wheeler for my dd and end up selling it when she was 8 week old. It nearly toppled twice with her in it and i found it hard trying to go up and down paths or even in my door with it, without it nearly toplling on me. In the end i sold it and bought a Maclaren and love it, i was raging in the end i bought a big buggy.

yeh. its the one bad thing I've been hearing about the Quinny Buzz. I dont particularly like the look of the 4-wheeler. I wonder if the Pramette is good for long walks? More research to do!

Found the pramette excellent for long walks on dd and I will use again this time around however I found the carseat cumbersome and almost impossible to use post c section very fiddly had to put seat belt onto back of seat and struggled to get seat away from base so we are getting a new car seat this time around and will leave M&P in dhs car permanently instead of taking it in and out.
