Bugaboo Baby Lightweight Strollers: Baby Bee Stroller

"As an owner of both Bee and Frog I can completely agree with the last reviewer. If you are a true owner of both or have experienced using both you will know the BIG difference between the two. After recieving the Bee my Frog spent most of it's time in the garage collecting dust. The Bee is just so much simpler and lighter to use than the Frog. Love them both though.

In reference to the wobly wheel problem. I'm trying to figure out how that can be. I mean, the front wheel design is so simple."

"Well i have pretty much tried every buggy there is on the market and i have never loved a buggy as much as i love the bee, by no way do i find it small, its great, my little girl si coming up 9mths now and is so comfy in it, and my daughter who is almost 4 will sometimes jump in for a spin if we are in town and she gets too tired...it covers everything,

1.rearfacing and forward facing

2.folds in one piece so no need to remove seat 3.large canopy for great sun protection

4.pleasing to the eye

5.great suspension

6.you can push with one hand

7.Suitable for newborns with either baby nest or maxi cosi carseat



I cant fault one thing about this pushchair it ticks all the boxes for me"

"It was a big decision for me to spend the money. It sat unopened in our basement for 3 days while I thought it through. (I am an impulse purchaser) When I finally put it together I was so proud, and couldn't help but look for peoples reactions when they saw us coming. It did turn heads and get plenty of compliments. But I find I get the most satisfaction in seeing my other mom friends packing up their strollers when I'm already in reverse, and on my way. It is fast, light, clean and easy. No straps or locks to fuss with. No 2 step, 3 step fold lift, swivel the wheels or pop'em off. It's technically not a 1 handed close like they say but it's fast, VERY fast. You only need that second hand for just a moment and then bam it's done. I am now looking for my next stroller and can't find exactly what I'm looking for because bugaboo doesn't offer a double yet. I don't know what I'll end up with in 6 months? If you have something that'll blow my mind email me at chilligirl[@] I'm searching like mad now to replace the best stroller ever. Just go buy it already! November 4, 2008"

"When my daughter was born we bought the Bugaboo Frog... We love that stroller but needed something for traveling and short trips to the store... I wanted to purchase a Maclaren but my husband is so in love w/the bugaboo line he could not see purchasing anything else! They make a great product and it is worth the money that you spend! I had never seen this product in any store so was not sure what to expect... The bee is a great addition and I am very pleased w/our choice... It has already been on a plane ride and a trip through Disney! The sunshade is the best!!! You will never find one like it! My daughter seems very cozy in it and will take naps if we are out and about (not as long as she will in the Frog) At first I had a hard time folding it, but by the 2nd day I had it figured out! The only issue I have is that it does seem small... Im not sure how long it will hold my daughter... Shes small so hopefully I will get a couple more years out of it! You will not regret spending the money on a Bugaboo!"

"Will make this short and sweet: I purchased this stroller 8-10 months ago. My brakes fail constantly, the handle is loose and no longer sturdy, it's SOOO difficult to turn the seat around, and a plastic piece simply broke off where the seat snaps onto when open. It doesn't stand by itself when folded (if this matters to you). It DOES fold easily.



Basically, watch out for the handle and the breaks. I've been reading other reviews on BugabooStrollers . com and see that it is OBVIOUSLY a big problem. I'm going to contact Bugaboo about it.



One last thing to watch out for: Our son is 14 months and literally hasn't fit in the stroller for MONTHS! He sits leaning all the way forward bc he can't lean back! Other parents are having the same problem.



I'm torn because it's a great stroller in concept! It's got a beautiful ride, it's so smooth and maneuvers like no other stroller. It looks different, but it lacks a lot.



I asked Bugaboo if they would consider adding a tray as an accessory you could purchase for the stroller and they told me no because it "wasn't aesthetically pleasing"!! I'm sorry, but find a way to make it "aesthetically pleasing" because parents need FUNCTIONALITY!!!!! I'm over it!!"

"I have no problem with this stoller. This is the best stroller i ever gotten for my first baby girl. She enjoys being in it, facing in or out. I bought all the accessories for this stroller and it lookss and works well. I love how it looks and i get lots of compliments b/c it's all pink = ) I totally recommend this b/c if you are looking for style this is the stroller for you. I'm very into name brands and my baby has it all. But if your baby is very big and wide, this is not the stroller for you. My baby is very petite and she can use this up to 2 yrs of age. Great product, you won't regret it!!"

"I bought this in june 1st and I love this stroller so much. It's great easy to turn, fold and flip the seat. Yes it is pricey but you pay for the quality. It's nice because you can change out the canopy colors. Both my son and daughter both use this. I am giving this 4 stars but not 5 since it is a little heavy to carry when folded. I would recommend this stroller for everyone."

"2 THUMBS DOWN, FOR BIENG SO SMALL AND TIGHT , I PUT MY 2 YEAR OLD COUSIN AND HIS HEAD WAS HITTING THE CANOPY! BIG WAIT OF MONEY AND TIME I HAD TO RETURN IT! GREAT FOR FITTING THRU SMALL PLACES AND DOES FOLD EASY AND WEIGHS PRACTICALLY NOTHING.



WE NOW PERMENANTLY OWN THE PEG PEREGO SKATE BLACK BUBBLES ITS GREAT THE HARNESS IS THE BEST"

"Okay... I will try to make this short. I started out with the original bee, it was great for the baby while he was a newborn. Once he got a little bigger and learned to walk (at 10 1/2 months) he wanted nothing to do with it. I sold it and purchased the Orbit toddler stroller, he loved it I just didn't and ended up selling that one also (no need to go into details about it lol). Next up was the Quinny Buzz 4 (absolutley hated it...too heavy/bulky and hard to close). Anyway here we are back to a Bugaboo... This one is more amazing than the first one! It grows with your baby, the steering is the BEST! It folds super easy and is so small that I can fit it in my trunk with a second stroller in there! The best thing is that the baby and I both agree on this one! 8^D I also plan on adding a wheeled board for him for when he doesn't want to sit but I need him to move and not take his time walking and stopping every 2 minutes. Basicly what it comes down to is that I have spent a lot of money on strollers, I know the pros and cons and this stroller is the WINNER.... Do yourself a favor and just buy this one, it's the easiest, lightest and smoothest stroller out there! (just one more little note... it's so easy I held the baby and took it out of my trunk and opened it with one hand!!! AMAZING!!!) Okay I'm done, I hope this helped"

"I tested MOST strollers on the market and this is the ONE!

I used this stroller from the day my daughter was born. I had a JJ Cole Bundle Me inserted (instead of the more expensive Bugaboo version) while having the stroller in full recline (almost flat), facing me and she was perfectly snug and secure during the cold month of February. I also took this stroller to France with the Maxi Cosi Mico Infant Seat and was able to navigate the Metro by myself! My daughter is now 8 months and it is still the only stroller I've had or used. She now sits in it in the most upright position and faces out. I get comments from parents and passers-by that this is one of the most stylish and functional strollers around. Other perks:



-This stroller is by far lighter (and has a much better design) than other travel system strollers.

-It folds up in one piece (unlike the Frog or Chameleon) and is compact to store in small apartments/homes.

-Can have it facing you or out, reclines all the way back and has an adjustable handle bar for taller parents. Easy to take off to switch positions.

-Never had a problem navigating through rough terrain such as cobblestones and bluestone streets of Brownstone Brooklyn (and baby stayed asleep too.)

-Easy to take onto the subways and even haul up and down stairs when there was no elevator.



BIG CON: After hounding Bugaboo for the adapters for the Maxi Cosi Infant Seat (which is pictured in all their marketing/PR information for the Bee), they stated that they weren't selling them in the US. However, you can purchase them on European baby websites OR just purchase the Grago Infant Seat which has the adapters sold here in the US."
