Mothercare’s Pick and Mix Pushchair
Take a lightweight pushchair frame £39.99 in a bare basic black and then offer a selection of wrappers to add on to it (£20), either in pink, blue, or green, or the rather jarring multi-coloured option…. I find the multi-coloured wrapper a bit too lairy for my tastes (and you know I love bright) and I think the pushchairs look best when they are literally mixed and matched as opposed to just one colour as shown in the pic.
News: Quinny Buzz 2007 ‘fault’ with straps and seat but it’s not a fault…
So I went to the playgroup today and I mentioned in passing that I was thinking of selling my Quinny Buzz because the straps were driving me mad as they seemed very short particularly when the bambino is in winter clothes and it has now got so bad that we can’t use the footmuff. I was shocked when my friend said that she had been to Mothercare recently and she had been advised that there was a “fault” with 2007 models and that she would need to get special extending straps which would be ordered for her free of charge.
Silvercross Sleepover Deluxe
Anyway…I checked out the Silvercross Sleepover Deluxe everyone has been going on about and my first thought was “Well thank God that they’re offering more than a moses basket for over 300 quid!” It’s a travel system comprising of chasis (really don’t understand why these would be sold separately but they are in some stores…), a carrycot to use as pram to also use as a moses basket to also use as a reversible pushchair seat, plus a handmade wooden rocking stand, and a cover for converting it into a moses basket.
Maxi-Cosi Mura Pushchairs
I had heard that my favourite manufacturer of carseats were doing their own pushchair but this is the first time I’ve taken a look at it.
For me…I think they should stick to car seats….
They’re quite reminiscent of Quinny Buzz’s (it wouldn’t surprise me if they were made by Quinny) but they lack a certain…finesse.

Mamas and Papas Skate Pushchair
I love the ‘Skate’. Buying a new pushchair is a challenging experience which you end up expending a huge amount of mental energy on as you try to balance buying something practical with something desirable that you love.
The Mamas and Papas Skate has integrated the pram and seat into one space saving unit and [...]
Red Castle
I thought that I had literally checked out every pushchair possible when I was pregnant, but the Red Castle Sports offerings certainly slipped under my radar.
Red Castle is a French company based in Provence and is the outdoor brand chosen by active parents. That in itself probably explains how I missed it as I don’t [...]

Product review: Mamas and Papas Nipi Lightweight Stroller
A couple of months ago we went back to America and we decided to bite the bullet and buy a lightweight stroller/pushchair that you could just chuck in the car and move around easily. I had been warned about ending up buying two pushchairs, something apparently that regularly occurs when you buy these big three [...]
Quinny Buzz 4 Pushchair 2008
This is the latest incarnation of the Quinny Buzz which to my eyes looks like a 2007 model…but with four wheels.
I haven’t had the opportunity to try it out yet but it will be interesting to see if it actually feels different to the 3-wheeled version.
The RRP is £350 and it’s available at Groovystyle for [...]
The Bugaboo Bee
Part of the reason why I didn’t buy a Bugaboo was because I found them a bit awkward but if the description and the look of the Bugaboo Bee is anything to go by, I may be tempted into one.
I own my beloved Quiny Buzz but ever since I bought a lightweight stroller (The Mamas [...]
