Top buggy brands Quinny pushchairs
Hi-tech fabrics, fashionable colours and shiny tubular frames are all part of the Quinny pushchair appeal.
Dutch in Origin, the Quinny brand has been owned by Canadian group Dorel since 2001. Dorel also owns Maxi-Cosi, which makes the bestselling child car seats that are used to turn Quinny pushchairs into travel systems.
Celebrities photographed with a Quinny include Myleene Klass, Heidi Klum, Gwen Stefani, Gwyneth Paltrow, Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof. Watch our first look video review of the Quinny Moodd to see one of these stylish pushchairs in action.
What is a typical Quinny pushchair like?
There are six pushchairs in the Quinny range. To help parents choose the right one for their needs, Quinny divides its pushchairs into categories according to their different uses.
- Urban use – Quinny Buzz and Quinny Moodd
Quinny Buzz 4
The Quinny Buzz combines modern looks with nifty features including an automatic hydraulic folding system. It’s available in three or four-wheeled versions, known as the Buzz 3 or Buzz 4.
The Quinny Moodd launches in spring 2012. It has a similar chassis to the Buzz, with an improved folding mechanism. Check out our video review of the Quinny Moodd for our first impressions of this new pushchair.
- Quick use – Quinny Zapp and Quinny Yezz
The Quinny Zapp is designed for city dwellers who use public transport and need a pushchair that is lightweight, folds compactly and is easy to manoeuvre in a crowd.
The Quinny Yezz is another lightweight buggy, tipping the scales at just 5kg. Watch our Quinny Yezz video to see this compact stroller in action.
- Heavy use – Quinny Speedi and Quinny Senzz
The Quinny Speedi is a chunky all-terrain pushchair.
The Quinny Senzz is a city pushchair. It’s no longer in production but is still available to buy.
Quinny makes a wide range of accessories for its pushchairs including cosy foot muffs, shopping baskets, parasols, mosquito nets and windstoppers.
For babies under 9kg (approximately six months old) the Dreami pram body can be used instead of the seat on the Buzz and Speedi pushchairs.

How we review Quinny pushchairs
Our experts in the test lab put each Quinny pushchair through more than 30 tests to check its strength, durability and safety, in line with British Standards.
We assess how easy the pushchair is to push, adjust for children of different ages and fold up. We also test whether it will fit unfolded on an escalator and on public transport, or folded in the boot of a small family car. We even find out how easy it is to remove food stains from the pushchair fabric.
Quinny Yezz
The final part of our testing involves a panel of parents (and their babies), who rate the appearance and features of the pushchair and take it for a spin to see how easy and convenient it is to manoeuvre on pavements, bumpy ground, up and down stairs and around other obstacles.
You can find out more about how we test pushchairs and read customer views from parents who already own each pushchair in our full pushchair reviews.
