Before Jax was born my husband and I made a deal that he had to pick out/buy our carseat and stroller. He had seen a bugaboo around town and liked the look of it. He wanted to find out more about strollers/carseat compatability and what not and so he went online and did some research. What he found was that the bugaboo was considered very 'LA'. This was unacceptable to him as he is not into being trendy. While researching strollers, he came across the Quinny Buzz and decided this was the stoller for us. It was not available in the US at the time and so he ordered it from like, the Netherlands. I remember getting a knock on our door around 9pm one snowy night this time last year and I was thinking - who could this be? Well, it was the UPS man and we owed him some $40 for import tax!
I am happy to report that they are now available in the US! I have found them at BabyCenter. This is my all-time favorite place to buy baby things online. They are the cheapest and almost always have free shipping.
For the first 5/6 months of Jax's life we used the Quinny Buzz Dreami Bassinet and it was handy in more ways than one. Not only did we use it on the stroller but for the first 2 months after he was born, Jax slept in the bassinet in our bedroom.
Also, we bought a Maxi Cosi Mico Infant Car Seat that was easy to use in the car and clipped right onto the Buzz stroller. Jax as since outgrown the infant seat, but for 7/8 months it was awesome!
Needless to say, we love this stroller! So much so that we purchased another Quinny stroller that I will post about next.

Actually, the deal was, I would pick out the stroller and car seat -- as long as you picked out EVERYTHING ELSE.
I have to second orbgirl's entusiasm on the stroller. It has attracted more compliments from strangers than I ever got on the Porsche. I've even noticed adolescent boys gawking at it like it was playmate of the month. Guys just instinctively love cool stuff with wheels. -T
