I haven't got one but I have the 2007 3 wheel Buzz and one of the things I would point out is that the seat unit is very small so perhaps this XL seat unit would be a good thing. My DD is exceptionally short for her age and really she is too big to go in this pushchair now. The seat belts are also very short so she can't wear a warm coat in winter in it or they won't fasten. One other thing I don't like about it is the footrest and the way it locks into the up positon and not the down position, meaning that DD can pull it up with her feet, lock it into position and therefore sit in an even more cramped position.

The brakes are not very good and I find it quite difficult to steer compared to other pushchairs. In the rear facing position the seat is not very upright so not really suitable for an older child.

I would check on all these points before buying one. They may have improved since last year. Sorry if I've put you off but I regret buying mine.

ah - no don't be sorry - this is what I need to hear. They are all viable points and worth considering. The 'too small' point was raised by a RL friend so was pleased to see this model with the XL seat included, however she hasn't mentioned the other points so I'm glad you have yeni .

The only thing is - if I don't get one of these, which ruddy pram am I going to get - there are SO many to choose from!

We have a Quinny Buzz bought in October 2007 and have been having similar problems. I am hoping someone has some useful advice. My son is 14 months old but tall and heavy for his age. We now can't fasten the straps when he is wearing a coat. We are also having real problems with the wheels jamming and with steering. I now think we have no choice but to urgently look for a replacement but don't know where to start. Can anyone recommend something (preferably with 4 wheels this time) that is particularly good for larger toddlers please? Thanks...
