Yet another which set of wheels question...

I know there are loads of threads about pushchairs and prams, but here we go again - I'd appreciate some advice!

I want a fairly lightweight and easy to push/steer system, with the option to use a carrycot and car seat. I have a maxi cosi cabriofix already, but if a travel system was a decent price and included another car seat, we'd be able to use it. We live in a top floor flat, so I intend to leave the chassis in my car (I have a decent size boot) and carry bubs upstairs in a carry cot or car seat when I can.

I am tempted by the Quinny Buzz so far, although I'm not sure about the carrying handle on the carrycot - rather than handles on the side, the carry handle is on the hood - I'm not sure how practical that is for carrying up three flights of stairs. I liked the fold down lightweight carrycot with the new Maxi Cosi Mura, but the rest of the system is too heavy and bulky. I will be using public transport, walking, etc.

Budget is £400 - £450 all in. Not sure if I should buy a cheaper travel system now and then a lightweight buggy later. All suggestions welcome!

I had a Quinny Buzz my dd is 2 now, it was a right pain, not the best, car seat was good, was handy you could wheel it around, but was always a pain to get down, then had to take wheels off because so wide, plus doesnt fit around town so much because of the width.

My first pram 12 years ago was a mamma n papas, and it was great, but not sure they do the the car seat on the frame thingy, sorry not to much of a pram geek. At the mo I have a MacClaren triumph, I know not suitable for a new bubs but maybe they do a pram with the carseat, sorry deffo proving I am pram illiterate.
