Baby Products Reviews of Quinny Buzz Stroller-Juice
Customer Review: Things I didn't consider before the baby was here...
Summary: 5 Stars
We love this stroller! When we were stroller shopping, I was single-minded about picking the carseat first and from there, the best stroller available to match. We decided on the Britax Companion infant seat and I still am 100% happy with our decision. Where we went wrong was underestimating the importance of a great stroller. The Buzz is far superior to the stroller we bought to match our Companion. The reasons it is better are things that I didn't understand the importance of before baby was here. I'm not even going to touch on how unbelievably sexy and innovative this new stroller is and as you can see from other reviews, it lives up to the hype. Here are the two reasons that have made me a believer:
1) Comfortable seat. -- The buzz has thick, dense, cushy foam and hugs our little one like a dream. She is incredibly content in this seat which makes long walks fun again. Our other stroller has a canvas covered thick cardboard seat. I now understand why she was not happy in there for long.
2) Sunshade is incredibly flexible and can keep the sun out of her eyes from any angle. -- I live in Seattle and this was a detail that didn't seem important to me pre-baby. I was wrong. The sunshade on our other stroller is short and inflexible. It worked great, as long as the sun was behind baby. When we turned to walk the other direction, I would need to use a blanket thrown over to shield her. Not the case with the Buzz. The sunshade is incredible, it can fold down flat to completely encase the baby if necessary.
I'm not sure what I would have done differently from the beginning because I love our carseat and loved having a stroller frame to put the carseat on. But, now that we're at the stroller phase (5 months) I see incredible value in the buzz and am really happy to have one!
Customer Review: Buy the UppsaBaby instead!
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this while I was still pregnant. I heard good things about it, but really didn't have much knowledge around strollers. Now that I have a 6 month old and several new mommy friends, I can tell you that I absolutely wouldn't buy this stroller!
Pros:
1. Big wheels- we live in an urban area and wanted to be sure that we could navigate through the city parks and sidewalks.
2. Seat that sits forwards, backwards, and reclines in a few positions. It was nice while he was tiny and as he grows. He loves facing out, but when he falls asleep I can easily tilt him back to be fully reclined.
3. The memory foam seat. I wanted our kid to be comfy.
4. The telescopic handle for my tall husband.
5. the "auto" erect feature. When you flick over the clasp, the stroller 'pops' open.... most of the time!
PS. The uppa baby stroller has all of these same perks, plus none of the cons.
Cons:
1. Pathetic sun canopy. Doesn't really cover babies face. Had to buy an after-market shade and it's a pain.
2. The storage at the bottom of the stroller is useless. It's more like a shelf than a basket.
3. It's difficult to open and close. It's very stiff, even 6 months later.
4. The brakes do not work on hills!!
5. You can only use one brand of car seat- MaxiCosi. This car seat is a complete piece of junk. It was recalled TWICE in the last TWO years.
PS. The uppa baby stroller has all of these same perks, plus none of the cons.
For $[...] you can either buy this stroller or the UppaBaby! I highly recommend choosing something else. Even the BOB is better.
Customer Review: Best urban baby purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
This stroller not only looks good but has incredibly easy maneuverability on city sidewalks.It is lightweight and cushiony for city bumps and curbs yet easy to wheel in stores and restaurants. The dreamy bassinet has been great for my one month old and we use it not only to stroll but as a bassinet inside the house. I have been impressed with the accesories included with the bassinet as well as the stroller itself including fleece blanket, snow cover, mosquito net and rain cover. The whole system is compact and lightweight compared to other strollers out there and the car seat completes the integration. We have been enjoying these three products so much that we now are going to purchase the Quinny Zapp as a travel stroller. We knew we were taking a gamble to purchase products from this line that haven't been in the US for long but have been thoroughly impressed and happy with the purchase. The only things I wish they would consider is to make a compatible cup holder for the stroller and a rain cover that isn't made from PVC.Customer Review: overpriced, under-comfortable

I am on amazon shopping for another stroller because my Quinny Buzz stinks.
Pros:
(1) Pretty color
(2) 3-level hand bar for different height caregivers
(3) Compatible with maxi-cosi car seat so you can use the base with tiny babies (which the [...] folks tested -- so I got rid of the car seat quickly)
Cons:
(1) It it HEAVY!
(2) Front wheel is made of VERY SOFT material and worn out after only 6 months of light use
(3) Basket on the bottom picks up 'junk' that you accidentally step on quite easily
(4) Despite the huge back wheels, the design is such that you get very, very stuck on rough terrain very easily
(5) The recline doesn't really work
(6) It is HUGE! It takes up about 60% of available trunk space in an 'average' sized sedan
(7) It is lop-sided. One side of the stroller has always been a bit higher than the other
Why did I spend so much $$$ on this stinky product?
Customer Review: Worst stroller!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had this stroller for almost 2 years. It is so difficult to collapse it that we had to just buy another lightweight stroller instead. I have called quinny twice and they were not helpful at all. The straps started getting too tight on my small sized daughter at a little over a year. The wheels get stuck constantly. We had to replace them already but that didn't seem to resolve the problem. Also, the wheels are very wide and bulky so it is quite tricky to get into many stores, especially if you live in a city. If you have a car, it is incredibly bulky to fit it in the trunk and very heavy heavy to pick up. It is a very beautiful looking stroller and does ride very smoothly but absolutely not worth the price.
I run a busy children's program in NYC and have a handful of other parents who own this stroller as well for over a year and they have all been dissatisfied with this purchase. I definitely don't recommend it.
