I am contemplating this for #2, have always eyed them up and have a few questions if anyone has the time to answer Smile

Do the packages come with both seats? does the 2nd seat just go over the 1st seat or is it a complete seperate seat. if this makes sense.

Also am interested in any comments/reviews

i loved mine,
i had the older 2006 version ,which is more or less the same,
you get one seat unit,and a from birth fabric which is the memory foam one,then another fabric which goes on instead of the foam one for 1y+

only thing is it wouldnt be any good for someone who needs to fit their shopping in the basket,its also pretty wide,so if your needing to use it in narrow shops its no good, i didnt need mine to do either of these so it was fine for us.

Love mine but im having to sell it after only a few weeks. I have the 2011 model that comes with the 'buzz box' (a clip on bag that can be used as well as a basket)

Its a lovely, easy one hand push, easy to fold, unfolds itself. The footmuff is gorgeous. I wish I had it earlier so DS could have used the first size seat the memory foam looks really snug.

It's a separate seat that you put on. I like mine, a word of warning though. Make sure the damn thing fits in your boot, otherwise you'll be swearing like mad everytime you go out.

Regarding the points about shopping, I've found that if I leave the buzz box empty, I can put my shopping in there as well as in the basket. I use a Phil and Teds changing bag for all my bits and thats really roomy and easy to pop over the handles.

Otherwise get one that will hang by those buggy clips or you'll be forever pulling it up and down the handles.

Agree re the boot that's the biggest downside for me. Whilst it is quite wide it's so easy to manover, literally turn with one finger type stuff. Go to a shop and have a play.

I loved that I could have a car seat, an old fashioned pram top and a two sided pushchair as one item so dh couldn't say I was buying loads of different things.

If you know someone with a baby, take it into the shop with you and try it out with a baby. Try folding it and then try to get it into your boot (if the shop will let you, most do), actually do you know someone with one at all?

Love my buzz too. So easy to steer and push, cosy seat, never really had a problem with lack of space either - you can stack the basket up. Thoroughly recommended.

Awful, dreadful, ugly, wide, terrible to push, front wheel gets stuck, thought they looked very funky but in reality they are like a very ugly golf trolley - avoid at all cost and invest in a decent qualty pram!!

Im using the second seat, its fine. I use it with the quinny footmuff (can be zipped off to make a liner) and its really cosy. It has an adjustable footrest too thats fab.

I have lost count of the amount of pushchairs I have had to feed my addiction and really wish I'd had this sooner.

My son is a tall boy, 18m old and still fitting nicely in the first seat. The second seat replaces the first and isn't spongey like the main seat, looks fairly comfy though.

I hated mine, sorry. It was 2nd hand, but only 9 months old - clearly the previous owner had hated it too!

Awkward to steer. Not sturdy enough for off road, not slim enough to be useful in shops/buses. Basket tiny (even with Buzz Box), front wheel has mind of it's own. Folding mechanism not fab. DS was too tall for straps on big seat by 12 months. Very big in car boot. Big seat had a habit of rotating round on base and leaving DS dangling 4" above the pavement.

Hated it, just hated it.
