The Quinny® Moodd and Quinny® Buzz Xtra with the Tukk bassinet are two other stroller/pram combinations that have managed to go modern without losing the soft look of a classic pram.
As with the Stokke®, the bassinet sits high on the frame, which improves the look of the stroller when in pram-mode, and brings baby closer to mom and dad. The bassinet itself has kept a soft-curved look and is made of very high-quality material. Unfortunately, the canvas is hand-washable only.
The frame on the other hand is modern, and for the Moodd comes in a high-tech white. To make it real funky, you can also purchase the Moodd by Britto created in partnership with Brazilian designer Romero Britto. The Moodd by Britto is sold with a fun multicolored frame that easily matches the bassinet. The Buzz Xtra frame is in matte chrome and black.
Most owners rave about the ease at which this pram travels. It’s easy to steer, and has overall good suspension.
Quinny® Moodd & Buzz Xtra with Tukk
While the Moodd is most suitable for city travel and pavement only, the Buzz Xtra is built for more varied terrain with larger wheels. However, we do feel that it looks as if the front wheel on the Buzz Xtra may cause some problems on certain trails where there may be too many rocks, or when maneuvering through ice and snow in the city.
The Quinny® Tukk bassinet weighs just 9.8 lbs and is easy to attach and remove from the frames of the Moodd and the Buzz Xtra. It comes with a solid carrying handle and a mattress. We were not able to find the internal dimension of the bassinet, but it only carries up to 15 lbs, so unfortunately that means most babies will have outgrown it by age 4-5 months at least; maybe earlier.
Like the Peg Perego®, the bassinet folds flat in seconds simply by sliding a lever in the back, making it easy to store when not in use.
We do find a few important cons with this pram. The bassinet doesn’t come with an extended sun canopy offering very little shade. As for the frame, even though it advertises a large shopping basket, we think it looks a bit small. Many customers also complain about the height of the stroller, which seems a bit on the short side and not suitable for anyone 6’ 2” and taller.
Look out for the Quinny® Moodd Jet Set Collection designed by Rachel Zoe. This line is extremely sleek, and the frame comes with cognac leather trimmings. The line should be available in 2016.
