The Buzz
This is a tribute to the stroller that we bought for bub a long time ago and brought to Australia with us. It has definitely served us well.
Despite the large dimensions even when folded, it has been through quite a lot and we are very happy with our buy. From metal detectors at airports, pesty flies trying to invade its personal spaces to irritate its occupant, to gusty winds on the streets, and even almost being lost in baggage at Adelaide airport, it has protect and held its responsibilty in protect the precious life with pride. Even when travelling on bumpy roads (or in our case failure to manoeuvre past obstacles without bumping into them), its tiny occupant did not stir from her afternoon nap. Truly, this has been and still is a great travel companion
Many Australians and Singaporeans alike have approached us on several occasions to enquire about the Buzz and where to lay their hands on one. Of course, its owners, beaming with pride, told them all and guided them to the right place.
I will be sad when the day comes when Bub outgrows this trusty stroller and we have to change to another. But that day will not come for another 4-5 years. So until then, I have to go look for a nice bag for to keep it in when we next go on another holiday. Otherwise, it will come out all dirty when you check it in at the departure gate. We were lucky they had a clingwrapstation for AUD$9 at the Melbourne International Airport but I don't think all airports have that facility.
Oh yes, note to all, it is best to check your stroller together with all your luggage (and carry your baby/toddler the rest of the way), especially if you are travelling with Quantas. We were told by their groung crew that for more than 12 months they have not checked in strollers at the gate but at the desk and that the stroller might not be able to make it on the same flight. So imagine, our horror and fear when we heard this news. But fortunately on of the flight crew who overheard our conversation made sure that the stroller made it and even told us before take off so that we could fly in peace (this was the flight from Adelaide to Melbourne by the way). Now that is what I call service as comparedto the ground crew staff who told us in a very condescending tone. I wonder if this has anything to do with the racism issue that is spreading over Australia at the moment.........................
