excitedfornumber2 · 19/04/2008 19:07

Hello, this is my first post, but i would be really grateful for any advice on a dilemma i have. I originally ordered the Quinny Buzz 4 with everything, really liked it and was very pleased, i am very indecisive and a couple of weeks ago a great deal came up on the Cosatto Mobi with everything and so i swapped my order, the shop were really good about it. However now i am not sure i have made the right decision, money is not the issue, although would need to pay an extra £250 for the Quinny. The shop have said i could swap, but didnt sound too impressed. DP no help, as said i should go for the one i want!!! You would think i would know what i want second time round, Sorry for the long post but would really appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,

No experience with the Quinny but i have the Cossato Mobi and its seems fab!
Theres a few others on here too with it that love it.

can you use the seat unit from birth with the mobi. if so that would decide it for me cos the seat unit is only from 6 months on the buzz and they often outgrow the carrycot before then.

just looked and it doesn't. do they sell the mura 4? very similar to the buzz 4 but the seat can be used from birth.

when i see people with a quinny buzz they are often cursing something and rowing with their partners. i researched them quite extensively and read alot of bad reviews. don't know about the cosatto. type in name of pram and 'review' into google and read it all. ( i've got a mountain buggy and I LOVE it)

Thanks for the quick responses, you cant use the seat unit until 6 months on the mobi, however the pram part is much bigger than the quinny. i thought id read you could use the seat unit from birth with the quinny, one thing i do really like about the cosatto is that you get a 4 year warranty, and ive read in other reviews that they replace things really easily and quickly if something goes wrong.
Pigleychez - what colour have you got?
Thanks cosima will definately do that!

I got the Ember colour.. Dark grey and orange as we decided to keep the sex a suprise.

I agree the carrycot is pretty large and should last quite a while. That was one of my main criterias of pram buying... having a carry cot so baby could lie flat.

they are both only from birth with use of a carry cot.

I really like the ember colour, i chose the ink because i know its another little boy, and my DS1 has a tinge of ginger in his hair, wasnt sure if it would clash if you know what i mean. The colour is another thing that i keep changing my mind about, its quite annoying.
Pigley - did you ask for advice on the mobi when you were buying yours i thnk i remember thats why i had a look at it.

I think the buzz has a lot of negatives, small shopping basket type thing, really quite wide and the seat unit seems really small.

the mura 3 seems to be slightly cheaper for some reason.

No probs pigley, i saw a post on mn asking for advice, and some nice person had put a link on with a really cheap price, i managed to shop around and got it for £290 so i was really pleased. i am always the same about evrything i buy, my dh laughs at me cause i always end up buying things and then taken them back!! haha lol

i'd stick with that then. the maxi-cosi one is nice but it's almost £200 more expensive.

i like the fisher price kuji, mutsy, bugaboo bee, i'coo peak 3, traxx ecuador, loola up, bebe confort streety, m&p skate, m&p herbie, luna mix (the new 3 wheeler one - the 4 wheeler one isn't very good cos the small wheels get stuck when you go down steps and kerbs)
