this prob wont help much-i have a quinny but not sure of model!!!! Love it.

Purchased at a Nursery shop in Shrewsbury in 2004 reduced from £220 to £80,so youll get an idea of when you are on for a bargain on e bay

i had one of these for ds2 about two and half years ago. it was a nice buggy, nothing spectacluar, but was nice to push, and the steerable wheels helped when pushing it around town, also liked that it had quite a big seat unit so abby not cramped in especally in the winter with caots, footmuffs etc.

i brought mine form eaby and think it was about £100, brand new. from booglemahone i think the anme of the ebayer was, and they are still trading now.

it is smaller than an m&p 2in1, when up about same size as a m&p pliko.graco type buggy, folds flat like the graco ones.

thanks

having bid i'm now changingmy mind!! i've just realised that mamas and papas make a smaller buggy which has a handle that moves so it can be foward or rear facing, and is much smaller.

So tell me all its good points.... please

you sound as bad as me, i always buy buggies and then change my mind/see soemthing better.

is it the m&p venezia then i have heard bad things about that, awkward to steer bulky when folded, only steerable wheels when handle a certain way, i assue with baby facing out.

i love the m&p a3 and have brought one on ebay, don't think the woman was too happy though, as it had a bid or buy it now price of £200, i bid £10 her starring bid and she hadn't put a reserve on, so ended up paying £68 for a brand new a3 with mypod carrycot that i can still buy in the shops for about £300!

but i do like my quinny's have been thinking about getting a quinny buzz as i loved my 4xl so much, also had a 3xl at the same time which i have lent to my friend.

must make a note to stop buying buggy's!

thanks

i'm going to go to the mamas and papas shop tomorrow to have a look at the venezia,

i have already ruled out the buzz, hauck infinity and the loola! the infinity and the loola have fixed footrests and the buzz isn't self standing when folded and i'm not a big fan of 3 wheelers.

i have gone through a number of prams! i had a second hand pliko which i paid £10 for which the brake broke on, a graco travel system which i got for £21 on ebay, and then sold on for £35! and i have my mamas and papas 2 in 1 pushchair which i love but its just too big, plus i don't like leaving it in the outside pram shed at nursery.
