Quinny

Quinny is a Dutch brand offering an awe-inspiring range of buggy designs: 4 main styles and a million variations. Quinny buggies are invariably characterised by smooth lines, curves and pastel colours, with varieties centred around different user situations: city, country, explorer and shopper (although the names Quinny gives their buggies are, of course, far more ingenious). All Quinny buggies also come with the added bonus of being compatible with Maxi Cosi car seats, creating the ultimate in versatile buggy goodness.

The Buzz (a.k.a the city buggy)

The Buzz is Quinny's main pushchair design, and includes several of their best features, not least of all their unique hydraulic unfolding system. With one touch, your pram unfurls into a perfectly sturdy, useable buggy, ready to slot your child into when you're ready. It also makes use of an XL seat frame, which allows your buggy to grow and adapt to your child as they get bigger. It's perfect for parents with more than one child or hectic lives, as the buggy does most of the work; and like all Quinny buggies, the Buzz comes with a superb range of accessories, of which the sun canopy, buzz box (shopping basket), raincover and XL seat are included as standard.

The Zapp is Quinny's most compact buggy to date, and quite possibly the smallest in existence anywhere in the world. It really is a neat, nifty piece of equipment. It's perfect for popping into the boot of your car, stowing under the stairs or even slotting into your suitcase for a weekend away. The Zapp's lightweight design means it's ideal for weaving in and out of pedestrian traffic or up and down shop aisles, and for tuppence extra you can bag yourself the Zapp shopping basket, giving you all the room you need to store all your goodies.

The Speedi is designed for people with the travel bug. We're not advising you take it across the Sahara, or through the Amazon - there are, after all, places where buggies really shouldn't ever go - but within reason, the Speedi buggy can cope with whatever terrain you throw at it. Thanks to the Speedi's durable air tyres and fully rotational front wheels, you and your newest addition can explore the beach, moors or parks with ease.

What's more, because the Speedi is fully compatible with Maxi Cosi car seats and Quinny's own prambody, you're essentially getting three buggies for the price of one - the perfect credit crunch bargain!

The Senzz is another stroke of Quinny ingenuity and is the culmination of several generations of parental advice. Thanks to all those mums and dads, the Senzz now features a fantastic one-handed folding system - push a button, give the Senzz a little jiggle, and voila! The Senzz is also fantastic for getting out and about, with firm seat suspension for a  smoother ride and tons of countrified accessories such as a windbreak and mosquito net (useful for keeping out pesky midges in the summer months).

Because of all that, we've classed this as a country buggy - and it is, in so many ways - but don't be fooled. This little Quinny gem is a dab hand at cityscapes too, especially thanks to Quinny's folding design which allows the Senzz to be stored upright - ideal for slotting under the table at lunch. The perfect blend of city and country, all in one little pram.

The Curbb is a twist on pushchair designs - the twist being that it has no wheels. Nope, not even one.
Instead, the Curbb is designed as a baby carrier or papoose, with a wide, extremely well-padded strap which sits diagonally across your body. This ensures your baby's weight is evenly distributed across your back, meaning less aches and pains. The design allows your baby to sit at a comfortable height for both them and you, and the position of the seat means they can look at the world around them with ease, and the hands-free styling leaves you free to touch, taste, buy and play.

We know it's not baby transport as you know it, but sometimes it's good to think outside the box - and with the Curbb, we know you'll be pleasantly surprised.
