After weeks of lokoing and researching prams me and my OH have decided on one of these 2. What do you reckon would be the best?

Have you looked at the MN Reviews? We found them quite helpful, as long as you were okay with ignoring the ones from people who had abviously bought the wrong thing in the first place!

We're getting the Buzz 3 fwiw, but didn't consider the GRaco so I'm not sure how they compare.

I assume you've tried them out in store? We found that made a huge difference - the Buzz felt far more sturdier, better made and easier to use than others we were considering.

Have you considered the weight and space in the car boot?

We bought a Graco travel system pre DS and it took up loads of space in the boot, was heavy and post c section, I was not able to lift it in the car -even when I could drive

Ended up with Graco in the loft and buying a Maclaren that reclined with a new born head hugger...DS has used it from about 4months and we have not used anything else. Its done three trips abroad and still in good condition

Will use the Graco pram for in the house when DC2 arrives and possibly the school run (walking it) but other than that, its the Mac all the way

The graco symbio is a new model that has just come out and its roughly the same size and weight as the quinny buzz. Seen demonstrations of them both together at the same time and we are still torn between the 2.

well, i know 3 poeople who've had a buzz and hated it

but then, if they're very similar that might be no help?

I was going too go for the buzz then got shown the jane rider it folds up even smaller than the buzz and easier too put up and down one handed.

I went for the Ymbio, had it out in the living room testing it the other day and love it.

We've just bought a 2nd hand buzz, it is pretty big, but SIL (also pg) got the frame in her mini boot. We picked buzz as we do a lot of walking with dog so wanted one with decent wheels. Also our friends have a buzz - very happy with theirs, now on 2nd kid, and we got the pram/car seat attatchments on loan from them.

Most reviews of any pushchair have their lovers and haters, and no pushchair seems to be perfect. I'd have a good try out in the shop and think exactly what you really want out of it - shopping in town/in car/walking tracks..
