I hated my Buzz. Think was a Buzz2. Badly built, too wide to get round anything. Sloppy steering. Not sturdy enough for off road, too cumbersome for twin. Teeny, tiny shopping basket.

Never used an iCandy.

iCandy.

Twin = town in previous post.

My Buzz has been going 7 yrs but will be glad to see the back of it. Heavy, difficult to fold, rubbish on anything other than completely smooth surfaces. I took it to a mountain biking place today and cursed it up and down the (level, suitable for wheelchairs) forest tracks.
Not tried the icandy. I'm considering babyjogger mini GT and out'n'about nipper 360.

iCandy muuuuuuch nicer to push. No comparison for me

StillNoFuckingEyeDeer · 26/07/2014 20:18

I hate our buzz

MissRainbowBrite · 26/07/2014 21:40

I have an icandy apple which is now 2.5 yrs old and still going strong. Yes, it's heavy and there is a knack to the fold, but it's lovely to push and my DD still has bags of room in it to go to sleep on days out. Also, the basket is huge. Never had any problems with mine and still love it.

BikeRunSki · 26/07/2014 21:46

baking I have the Nipper 360 now. It's a dream compared to the Buzz.

yuvienus · 27/07/2014 05:52

I had an I candy apple, but it was one with inflatable tyres, I got 3 punctures in the two years I used it, and the inner tubes were £17 each, and not easy to change! Apart from that I loved it!

BikeRunSki · 27/07/2014 06:42

Fill the tyres with Slime and you won't get any punctures.
Slime

MissRainbowBrite · 27/07/2014 08:37

Slime is excellent stuff, not had any punctures since we put it in. Just need to pump the tyres up every 6 months or so.

JenSmith1508 · 28/07/2014 15:25

Definitely icandy although mine is peach2 not apple, my friend got a really good deal for one for around £600 with rubber tyres and a carrycot included

yuvienus · 29/07/2014 05:18

Yes, I have decided to go for icandy too. thanks for all the advices!
