The Quinny Buzz - What’s to love?

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Now that there are a number of great reversible seat strollers on the market besides just the Bugaboo Frog and Cameleon, the question everyone is asking is - what are the differences and is this new stroller truly “A Contender?”

Now that we have had some time to play with the Quinny Buzz, we thought we would give you our take on “what’s hot about it and what’s not.”

What’s Hot?

- Fabulous light push - definitely one of the best in the reversible market

- Very cushy seat with near tempurpedic foam-like material lining it for a seat the really cradles and conforms to its rider

- Easy fold, cool unfold - can lock it folded for easy transportation

- Great colors

- Nice telescoping handle for taller users

- Bassinet can be purchased separately.

What’s Not?

- Very little basket space - definitely for the lighter packer

- Smallish canopy might leave folks walking just a bit “more”

- Wheelbase is not “too wide” but is a couple of inches wider than the Bugaboo which might matter to those in tight urban areas.

- Only fits with the Maxi Cosi carseat which isn’t out until July

Bugaboo Bee Update

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

Well as predicted - the Bugaboo Bee is already hot and its not even out yet!  Bugaboo has already sold out of its first shipment due in September so I’m guessing that shipment will be sold out from Retail outlets before it even arrives!  People have been waiting for a Bugaboo that folds in one piece for a while I guess?

The Bugaboo Bee will be up on our site starting July 1st and available for pre-order then.  When our first shipment due in September is sold out - the next one will arrive in October.

So set your alarm on July 1, 2007 to the Bzzz positon and don’t miss out!

 

Perfect little gift in a bag!

Each outfit includes pants, a lap tee with either an Octopus or Flip-Flop applique, and a matching beach hat…all this is packaged in a great little felt bag - perfect for gift giving - to a friend or yourself!
