Hello Sue i myself wanted to purchase both of the push cars you have spoken of but because i'm in the u.s it has been a problem . Yet, i have still read alot about both my choice would be the spider because of the features i heard alot of negative comments about the Quinny Buzz but i have never purchased either so my advise will take you so far! all my information is what i have read on the internet! sorry i wish i could be more help!

hi, i have had both, after hearing good reviews about the spider i brought one from ebay, but i don't think it is any good for a small baby, lucy is 7 months now and i felt she was too small for it, she didn't really have any protection from the elements as the hood is tiny, i actually sold it back on ebay 4 days later!!
i also had the quinny buzz and loved it still not sure why i sold it! its much better for younger babies and children, and big enough too for older children, think when the new 2007 version comes out i will be buying another one. i love the way it folds and unfolds and also being able to have lucy face me. i had the wagtail colour which is gorgeous.
i def think the buzz would last longer than the spider, i think by about 18 months a lot of children would be too big for it.

To Vickim,
Thanks for your reply you have put my mind at ease i really wanted the buzz but lots of people have said the seat is small. I like you think the spider is probably smaller than the buzz. Looking on ebay at mo for one that falls within my price range, dont think i can hold out for the new 2007 model! Although the seat on that looks brilliant.
I already have the Quinny Speedi SX and as this is my last baby want to get the right pushchair for him (and me!).

the buzz seat is most def bigger then the spider the spider is of a similar size to the zapp! i loved my buzz and am desperatley trying to hold on for the new ones in january, but would like one now, i have only just brought a new pram but am always on the lookout for the perfect buggy and the buzz comes close, i recommend buying the basket though its about £20 but worth it, as it makes a huge difference to the use of the pram makes it much more practical.
don't know what i'd do without ebay to sell on my mistakes!

[color=red]I know what you mean about selling mistakes on ebay, i am going through that process at the moment. I cant wait till january to get a buzz and i found one last night on ebay so bidding on that. I prefer the colours of the seats now compared to the new ones, although the new ones mould to the childs body shape. Dont know if it springs back into shape when they get out, could be a bit tricky selling it afterwards if not.
I think i made the mistake of buying the first 3 wheeler i saw not realising that there were so many different ones. I think, i know i have got it right this time as i researched it so well. Thanks for the advice glad i didnt go with spider.

I have finally got my quinny buzz!! I brought it off ebay and i am collecting it on Thursday 9th November (lady who sold it lives in my town, very convient no postage). It hasn't got the shopping basket will get one of those separetly but does have the buzz box and raincovers.
It is Black Reflection in colour more practical i think than the Red Reflection.
I am so pleased a lovely buggy to push, and a bargain too! £130 and it is only 6 months old!

Picked up the buzz this morning, it is fantastic the best buggy i have ever had!!
It is easy to fold, light to pick up and best of all my son can now face me so we can talk and walk together.
I downloaded the instructions from the quinny website as the lady didn't have the instructions but thats no problem.
