pushchairs

2bmum · Oct 15th, 2009, 10:22 AM

I'm umming and arring about pushchairs. I've got it down to 2 different ones as I want one that can face you or face forwards.

It's either the quinny buzz or the loola.

Could someone tell me the difference between the loola confort and the loola maxi cosi please as they look the same to me online.
The loola seems more comfy than the buzz, but which is the most compact?

Also are there any other than these that can face you and are compact?

thanks

Edited to say that if you have any reviews of these 2 then that would be great.
Does anyone know if they're any good with the board things that toddlers can stand on?

I have no idea about the loola but i do love my buzz. It's been great as a travel system but i think it's life as our buggy to go shopping and take in the car is coming to and end as Jac is growing out of his infant carrier. Si if we want ot use it to go anywhere by car i think its a bit of a fuss as you fold/pack away in 2 pieces....the chassis and the actual seat....but that's no biggy.
So for shopping and stuff and travel i've bought a Maclaren quest Mod....but i'll still be using my buzz daily to walk to the local shops and for walks etc. But if i was going somewhere for the dayout i still migh take the buzz as i think it might be abit more snug and comfy.
I dont know if anyone else will mention them....but someone wrote about the oyster prams the otherday.....they are real nice and fold in one piece..well worth a look IMO.

I had a loola up, I sold it not long ago. It was great while I used to go out in the car and just clip him on but once the seat unit was on it it was a nightmare.

First of all it fitted in the boot but you had to put it in at a certain angle and I don't have patience with that lol. With the seat unit on it was quite heavy aswell, not while pushing really but certainly when lifting it in and out the car.

I loved my Loola, it was great for a while but It wasn't practical for me

sorry not the ones you mentioned, but i have a maxi cosi mura, and it is great, abit heavy but i think it is comfier than the buzz as is a bit roomier

I've read bad things about the loola when reading up on rear facing pushchairs. Have you tried either out in shops? Especially how easy they are to carry.

We tried out the loola this time round but found it too heavy to lift (as if going up a kerb) so went for the icandy cherry

I have a quinny buzz and i am in love and it is the first one dh has liked so must be good, i love the way it not only faces both ways but to me the main advantage after many prams was the way it reclines, i have had many that only the back reclines and it has woke lo up but with the buzz the whole seat unit reclines so he doesn't wake up so it gets a very big thumbs up.
I alos bought a spare seat unit for very cheap on ebay so if i decide the black reflection is not for me that day i put the red one on and also i mix and match the red and black hoods so i have say a black hood and red seat so it is quiet funky and always looks like i have a different buggy.
I hope you find one you like but so far i give the buzz a 5 out of 5. x

thanks ladies for your opinions on the buggys. I think I shall give the loola a miss then as I have arthritis in my wrist, so pushing a hefty buggy won't work for me.
I shall look into the buggy's you've mentioned and let you know how I get on, Im off to 'test drive' some next week

The icandy peach looks lush, I wish I could afford it.

These are the rear facers I think: http://www.bizrate.co.uk/pushchairss...ushchairs.html

This is worth trawling through:
