Happy New Year & Bambino Goodies Hottest Posts of 2008!

Natalie writes…Ahh…it’s the last day of 2008 and what a year it’s been! I’m feeling nostalgic as I remember the year that’s gone by and getting the usual pre-new year palpitations at the thought of the excitement and challenges ahead! Just over 14 weeks till baby 2 is due! Anyway, as the nostalgia and panic [...]

Buyers Guide: What to consider when buying a stylish pushchair

Natalie writes…Buying a pushchair can be an agonising decision, especially when you’re trying to balance your style sensibilities with function, so here is my guide to helping you make that decision. Aside from the style aesthetics, you need to consider suitability from birth (padding and lie flat options), travel system capability, handle style and height, [...]

The Pushchair Track: Quinny Buzz 3

Natalie writes… I have to say, even though I’ve had my moments where this pushchair has wound me up, I still do love the Quinny Buzz 3 (I own one) and with new colours and a limited edition, the love is still strong as it’s getting an injection of newness! Weighing in at 12kg, this [...]

The Pushchair Track: Quinny Zapp

Natalie writes… I think it’s fairly safe to say that the Quinny Zapp totally changed the way people thought about lightweight pushchairs. The four-wheeled umbrella fold dominated and then along came the Quinny Zapp, a three wheeler that can become a travel system with a Maxi Cosi Cabriofix car seat. Weighing a very lightweight 6kg, [...]

Hot Off The Press: Quinny by Henrik Vibskov collection to be sold exclusively by Harrods

It was just two weeks ago when I raved about the new Henrik Vibskov collection for Quinny and bemoaned the fact that it seemed like it was just destined for a select few countries in Europe. I was booing and hissing away to myself but it turns out that it is going to be sold [...]

Euro Pushchair Envy: Quinny by Henrik Vibskov

Natalie writes… I have had a se-ri-ous droolfest over the limited collection for Quinny that has been created by Dutch fashion designer (and musician and filmmaker), Henrik Vibskov. Despite honing his craft at Central St Martins, I see that he didn’t make sure that the collection was stocked in the UK as the strictly limited [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 £370 and it’s available at [...]

Wedge Stroller Bag for Quinny Buzz

I am the proud owner of a Quinny Buzz but the storage will always be a bit of an issue if you just rely on the basket that hangs underneath. Whilst I was at the Baby Show at Earls Court, I bumped into the owner of Buggy Baskets who has created a range of bags [...]

My Baby Travel Essentials

I’m a week over my due date so I have time to blog… These were my chosen baby travel essentials and with any luck, they’ll be getting some use in a few days! Pushchair – Strawberry Quinny Buzz 2007 There are a lot of things to like about this pushchair, despite the fact that it [...]

Quinny & Maxi Cosi Hit The US

I am the proud of owner of a Strawberry Quinny Buzz Pushchair (pictured – I also have the Dreami carricot in sulphur which turns it into a pram), and a red Maxi Cosi car seat. I love the design and functionality of the pushchair even though it’s slightly heavier than some of its counterparts. The [...]
