Hi ladies, well we thought we had decided on the Quinny Buzz....but a few weeks back we were in Mamas and Papas up north and we looked at the M&P Rubix, which we did like.

Anyway whilst we were in Reading yesterday we popped into Mamas and Papas and saw it again and of course now we can't decide again.

They both do the same job and are very similar in ways of folding up etc, but if it went down to looks which one would you pick??

The M&P looks white on the inside, but its actually grey.

Its nice hun, but the seat unit is very hmmm plasticky if thats even a word lol! xx

I'd go for the rubix, in fact I am going for the rubix if it's a girl because I really likthe purple one if it's a boy were having the sola in grass x

i would say although i have a sola and love it i really dislike the cybex car seat - its a bad shape and not well thought out (cuts into elijahs legs when the seatbelt is on - although if you spent extra for the base i suppose that would help) so that would put me off the m+p prams next time.
having said that if there is a different compatible carseat i would go for it

We would definately be getting the base for the car seat, oh I dont know....its so hard choosing a pram lol! xx

HI

Have you looked at the iCandy range? I've got an apple and can't fault it. I did consider a quinny buzz but prefered the iCandy as it had a huge shopping tray.

i prefer the look of the quinny, have you tried looking for reviews of them to see what other people say??
i'm glad i never had this problem deciding

The Maxi cosi is compatable with the sola Mari! I really like the look of the cybex aton ones and I like the idea of it all matching but we've got a brand new maxi cosi so if they are pants I wont bother buying one! THe base only wors in the front passenger seat of our car according to m&p, so i's not really an option x

i definitely would go with the maxi cosi the cybex is horrible, we are just waiting for elijah to be big enough to go into a bigger seat!

siobhan i would go to the shops that have them out (like m+p) and put a heavy bag in one arm then try and fold them/recline them etc and see how you manage - that's a good way of figuring out how practical they are. i tried that with a few prams and it was too hard with some, we also tried going in little circles/round corners etc to see how maneuverable they are...oh, and try them in the boot of your car to check they fit!

i love the rubix x

Weve tried them both out, just can't decide looks wise lol! xx

stick a poll to this post! i am an awful decision maker i usually just make someone else decide haha

Id go with the quinny. I know its not the same pram but I had the skate which is soo similar to that first one and I hated it.

x

i say rubix but with maxi cosi car seat cos its so dinky and cute

Personally I prefer the quinny, although I've never seen the other one. xx

i'm a huge quinny fan, I've had 3 different systems since ava was born , maxi cosi mura, mothercare xcurison and quinny buzz 3, It's the only one I would definately buy again.

^ christ pinky, you must have money to burn! i'm not 100% happy with the sola but couldn't spend another £300+ haha

Awww don't say that Mari, I've got myheart set on a sola lol

I would go for the Quinny x

sounds worse than it is, had mothercare excursion but it was faulty so exchanged it for the quinny and my mum bought the maxi cosi to keep at hers in the kiddicare sale for £120.

haha oh i'll let you off then pinky

haha the only things i don't like are: the car seat! the brakes come off if it's really windy! (and it IS really windy in scotland, alot!), you can't do much with it with just one free hand...other than that it's great, its relatively light, maneuverable, sturdy enough for me to kick around, small and hopefully will last ages - the buggy bit lies flat for at first, now eli is sitting up a bit and sometimes in the middle position so its fab haha sorry!

Thanks for the review Mari You've just saved me about £200 on the car seat and base
