Quinny Buzz, Mothercare Spin and Orb or iCandy?

[monkee12]

Can anyone tell me which they would recommend out of these? Looking for a lightish pram which is suitable for newborn up to 3 years? that is parent facing and world facing, or can you recommend any others. Thanks

I've got the icandy peach jogger. I love it!! I walk everywhere and my lo is very happy in it. She was in the carrycot until 6 months and currently parent facing in the main seat. I've taken it through the woods, on the beach and up along a cliff path. It's easily tackled all terrains. I've got a besafe izi go car seat that goes on it with the adapters. Fine on buses and goes in car boots fine as it folds pretty small. It's very light to push/steer, can do it with one finger. Is a little heavy to lift if you have to constantly up a lot of stairs or something, but fine going into boot etc. Its not the cheapest pram, but well worth the money if you walk a lot and not just put in boot, walk round supermarket, back in boot.x

If you want light weight I wouldn't recommend the Q Buzz as it is very big & bulky!

I've got the icandy peach and I love it! I bought it because its really light and compact and is one of the only prams to fit in my tiny boot. Plus, the carry cot can be used as a Moses basket, so when she was a newborn, she used to nap in that downstairs.

We've got the Orb and it has been back in for repair twice! It squeaked like crazy and then the brake kept getting stuck on - once while I was walking across a busy road (on a crossing but the green man went off!)

It looks lovely and the spin bit if great but I would never, ever get it again!

I've got a Quinny Buzz and will agree with pp, it is heavy. But it has been good for me right from newborn with the carseat or carry cot on and still now with my DD who is 2 yrs 5 months. She still looks comfy in it. I also like the off road wheels I bought extra to go with it because we live on a farm. It's been on snow, mud, grass etc. It's very robust.

I have the Quinny Buzz and actually think it's lightweight! Nice and easy to steer (one handed if necessary) and I'm not exactly strong and my son weighs a ton so that adds to the weight.

I've found that, with pushchairs, it's different strokes for different folks! I was recommended one brand before LO came along. I bought it and hated it!

The Quinny definitely feels sturdy and very easy to put up and down.

I have an iCandy Cherry, 15 months old and still as sturdy as the day I bought it I love it, it's so easy to push/steer and light. The only thing I dislike is that it folds in two parts!

I don't mind big, bulky prams just the ones that are so heavy to lift on buses etc x

Out of them I'd go for an icandy! The orb is just the spin renamed after they had awful problems with it and the orb seems to be the same! I found the whinny horrendous!

Also icandy hold their money well if u come to sell after! x

Seconding this! I have the same pram and I love it easily one of the lightest prams around and incredibly sturdy and holds its value well.

Thanks everyone, I've brought an iCandy again x

I love my iCandy Strawberry. Sturdy but light

Id go for icandy out of them but the icandys are quite heavy.
I've just bought a bugaboo bee. Super lightweight at 7 or 8kg if I remember correctly which is half the weight of the icandy. It folds and opens with 1 hand too.

I have an iCandy apple 2 pear and I absolutely love it!! It's so nice to push and it looks really nice as well definitely worth the extra cash and it lasts from birth too them being a toddler. You can also add another seat on to it if you ever have another baby close in age so in that respect saves you money!
