Got the Quinny Buzz Xtra with the Maxi-Cosi bassinet add on in anticipation of my baby being born soon.

The pros:
* My wife likes it tongue.gif
* Very high quality, solidly built and looks nice
* Very manuveurable.
* The huge wheels can take the occasional tar/uneven road surfaces better than small wheels, newer model does away with the need to pump air into the wheels
* Can push the baby while jogging on smooth surfaces. Hardcore joggers should look at the Thule Urban Glide.
* Can fit a Bassinet , infant car seat and baby stroller seat, its interchangeable
* All 3 above can either be forward or rear facing

Cons:
* Price, not cheap
* wheels are wide apart, might be a problem pushing thru some entrance/exits
* its huge even when folded. Will not fit in most hatchbacks boots

Thats off the top of my head when i was researching on strollers, anyone using and any comments or add ons?

Not expert but i think shud remind those that plan to jog with stroller to make sure that baby's neck and head are strong enough, i think a year and older and that the stroller has adequate absorption and cushioning. Best is smooth surfaces.

how much and where you bought it ?

Bought fr Curve, I think the shops called First Few Years, its facing Mothercare. The stroller set is RM2.2k. The Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix is around RM800 after discount if buy together with the stroller or look for sales in the baby expo's, they have it every few months if you dont mind the crowd.

My baby falls asleep immediately in the Cabriofix, and he's very snug and comfortable in it. Its also very solid, easy to secure in the car seat, so Im quite happy with it.
Hope this helps.

As far as I know, most people have more than one stroller. We have five. Different strollers serve different purposes and I don't think there is one stroller that can fit all your needs.

Here're our strollers:

1. Generic brand umbrella stroller: Most basic and lightest stroller. Cannot be reclined. We use it only for short distance walk or when too lazy too carry other heavier strollers. I don't think my little one sit comfortably inside.

2. Summer Infant 3D lite convenience stroller: This stroller can be reclined, which is important when you are going out long. Much more comfortable than the previous one, and still consider light with only around 12lbs. It has five point safety harness feature. We like to use this one for long travel because it is light and can be fully collapsed.

3. Britax b-agile: This comes with the travel system, which we used when our little ones were not ready to sit upright. It is about 17lbs if I remember correctly. It cannot be fully collapsed like the previous one, but my little ones could sit very comfortably inside.

4. BOB Flex jogging stroller: We use it when going out jogging. It provides good stability in bumpy roads or rough terrain and easy to maneuver. However it is heavy and therefore not easy to handle for my wife.

5. Britax b-agile double stroller: We bought this when we had the second child. It is a must for parents with two children around the same age.

How much did you pay for the BOB Flex stroller and where did you get it from?

From Amazon. I think it was USD 300 something, definitely less than 400.

So far i use my GB Pockit Plus in restaurants and shopping malls. I usually fold it when going in restaurants as i am afraid it will get stolen. Very convenient indeed.

Thanks, looking for one for travelling, my current one is too big to carry around.
