After many many arguments between Quinny fans I bit the bullet and borrowed a 2011 Quinny Buzz. The first video is pictures comparing the two and the second is pictures and a run through of all the different features. Enjoy!

For the past month we have been testing the Mamas and Papas Urbo for MumPanel. We have shared our first impressions, it’s first week and it’s holiday at Nana’s house.

We are still testing the Mamas and Papas Urbo for MumPanel and it came with us on our holiday to Nana and Pop’s house!
We managed to fit the Urbo, my Baby Jogger City Mini and the Cosatto You2 in the boot as well as our wedding attire and enough stuff to last us 2 weeks. I was mightily impressed!

Every parent will be horrified by news stories informing us of incidents inluding a 15 month old baby being hit by a train in Australia when his pushchair rolled off the platform. Unbelievably this little boy survived and only suffered bruises despite being dragged approximately 10 metres by the train. The Grandmother of the little boy had turned her back for one second on what she thought was a flat surface. A similar much more tragic story involved a father letting go of his double pushchair and it rolling into the sea. Sadly his 2 year old daughter drowned. Continue reading “Review – BuggyTug” »

As you know we are reviewing the Mamas and Papas Urbo for MumPanel. We have had it for just over a week now and have certainly been putting it through it’s paces.
Our first impressions still stand, I love the look of the seat fabric and chassis and that it is super lightweight and smooth to push. I don’t like the back of the seat it stands out from the stylish look of the seat fabric and chassis and the brake is still really hard to take off. We have used it every day and already it has started to creak so we have cracked open the furniture polish to oil it up a little bit. We tried both boys in it and found that although Spud looks too tall, with the hood pulled over he has about 4 inches of room above his head. It’s usually rare for Spud to fit in a pushchair that isn’t stroller style. He had plenty of width and his legs hung comfortably although didn’t quite meet the footrest.
My one major concern this week is that the part of the chassis above the front wheel took a huge chunk out of my door, I would hate it to bash mine or someone else’s ankle as we would probably lose all of our skin!
We have found that it is very much an Urban pram. In shopping centres and on smooth pavements it pushes effortlessly but it definitely lets you down the minute you attempt any form of rougher terrain. It was extremely difficult to push through the grass and I doubt the babies are experiencing a comfortable ride when “off road.”
The basket is looks extremely small, it is very shallow but I have managed to fit a lot in there. We went to holiday club and it had my coat, the rain cover, Spud’s bag, his lunchbox and his potty in. I was happy that none of it would try and escape from the basket. I also took it to the shop and fit one very full bag in along with the rain cover with plenty of space for more. (Note the very plastic look of the seat back)
It takes a lot for a pushchair to impress me as much as the Urbo has so far and I can’t wait to take it out on some more adventures!

My pushchair addiction is no secret. So when Pushchair Trader put a call out for some people to join their team of long term testers I rushed to download the application form!
I spent an age working out what to write to impress them especially as a Blog wasn’t a requirement so I would be going up against a lot of other mums.
On Tuesday I went to Tesco with my Mum and the boys. I was getting bored whilst my Mum was searching high and low for Anti Pasti Mushrooms, despite me telling her that no where except Aldi sell them, so I pulled out my phone (which my Mum hates seeing when we are out!) On my screen was a notification from Facebook telling me I had a message from Pushchairtrader Jo asking me to call them to discuss “something.”
I did a premature happy dance and nearly dropped my phone in the process. I quickly dialled the number and was asked lots of question before being told that I was in fact being invited to join their team of long term testers! Cue a very big happy dance whilst trying to remain some composure for a phone conversation!
I was informed that I have been selected to test and review the Maxi Cosi Elea.
I am extremely excited and would like to thank Pushchair Trader immensly for picking me to join the team!
I am now leaving my parents house 4 days early to get home on the same day that the courier delivers pushchair! Watch this space for updates!
