Bugaboo Cameleon Stroller

"GREAT STROLLER - PRICE is HEFTY, but my daughter loves the ride and can now sleep laying down. Strolls like a dream. I can now hold my toddlers hand and "push" the stroller at the same time. Especially useful in the Mall Parking Lot.I say "PUSH" cause it just requires one finger to push....SMOOOTH SMOOTH ride! Subtracted one star cause it does take up a good amount of space in the trunk - close to half in my full size sedan...just about all the space in a sport size sedan and still a good amount of space in a SUV although you can stand it upright in a SUV...just thought I'd mention it!"

"I absolutely LOVE this stroller- while its sort of big and takes up a lot of space in our trunk, I wouldnt want to use anything else in the city. I never really used the bassinet feature, but for almost a year I used my Peg Perego car seat rather than the bugaboo one. The ride is so smooth, and it takes turns with such ease. Its been one of my favorite pieces of gear to date!"

"I love the Denim!!! I have the red base with the Denim and it looks GREAT!! I got the denim skip hop bag to with it..so many compliments. I nevr had a problem with the denim bleeding onto my sons clothing. I used it in hot and cold weather and didn't have a problem. It is difficult to get the fabric onto the seat frame but all the fabrics are that way...they are supposed to be so that the seat is sturdy. It is a great stroller and I don't think you would be dissapointed. I also added the bugaboo BEE to my collection of strollers and love that stroller!"

"I have had this stroller for 8 months since my son was born and have been seriously disappointed in it for the money I have spent. The great thing about this stroller is the versatility it offers. It changes out from a pram with bassinet to a regular stroller seat. The bassinet came in handy when my son was a newborn as he could be wheeled around the house and stay close while I did my day to day things. When he got a little older, he loved the regular stroller seat as well, and the 3 recline positions came in handy when he needed to take to his bottle or take a nap while we were out and about. It is an extremely smooth maneuvering stroller and I have gotten a lot of compliments on it's hi-tech streamlined appearance. This stroller can also supposedly go in wheelbarrow mode and go out on rugged terrain with you. And also if you have the Primo Viaggo or the Graco Snugride or Safe Seat Step 1 you can fit it onto the stroller frame if you buy the attachment for it. Here are the cons though travel with this stroller any travel is a pain. I have a Chevy Impala with a pretty decent sized trunk and when in either bassinet mode or regular stroller mode, it occupies most of the trunk room. You have to detach the seat or the pram from the stroller frame before folding it. I travel quite frequently with my son and it has been an absolute nightmare. I was not allowed to take the seat part of the stroller on Continental Airlines because the stroller separates into 2 pieces and they only allow for one stroller piece. If you use the carseat attachment the stroller detaches into 3 pieces that need to be checked in at the gate car seat, attachment, and the stroller frame. It is large, bulky and heavy to take with you, or fold up and place on a luggage cart or through the security screening point. I've been held up at the check-in counter, jet way, and security checkpoint struggling to detach and attach and fold and unfold the stroller with one hand while my diaper bag and son were in the other hand while moms with cheaper strollers waltz past me with pitying looks. The stroller is two handed unfold, don't believe what the other reviews write about it, there are 2 latches on either side of the frame that need to be held down simultaneously to have it unfold. It is awkward to do and complicated enough that it makes it difficult for strangers to even help you out. Changing it out from one mode to the other is difficult and the instruction manual and dvd take some time to study. The material on the hand grip and the stroller seat bar is porous and not very durable. The one on my stroller is already tearing and there is no way to fix or clean it - my son chews constantly on the seat bar - I don't know why they chose that type of material. The color choice fleece is comfortable enough but the seat itself is made out of canvas that is not removable for washing. There are 2 pneumatic tires on the back and a suspension system in the front when I first bought the stroller I had read a write up on a different retailer's site that said you could jog with the Cameleon but that is an impossibility because the smaller tires on the front are plastic. On my last trip, one of the front tires broke off when I checked it in at the gate and the Bugaboo manufacturer said that airline damage would not be covered under the warranty unless you purchase the storage bag which is an extra hundred dollars or so. In fact most accessories need to be purchased separately. Unless you bother to take your newborn out everyday with you, don't bother buying most of the accessories for the pram such as the raincover and mosquito net. I haven't used mine at all. There is no real storage area on the stroller there is a small canvas storage bin that you can attach to the bottom of the stroller with velcro straps but has a weird drawstring opening that is cumbersome to open and close due to the canvas material. I usually don't ever use mine because it is more of a nuisance than a help to use. As far as the wheelbarrow mode goes, I haven't used it yet, but am turned off by needing to adjust the frame to use it. This is a great stroller if you are rich, have your own private jet, and a big big car, and always have someone with you with two available hands that has studied the user dvd and manual for the Cameleon."

"I have been using the Bugaboo Frog Stroller for the past two years with my son and I am now using it with my daughter. After two kids, and two years, I finally made the decision that this is not a stroller I would buy again. Here are the reasons why: * No foot break. * Two-part fold up. * Front wheels clog up in snow/slush. * Not long enough. * The under-stroller storage is cumbersome. * Not travel friendly. I can say a few good things about the bugaboo: * The handle bar that goes front-to-back and back-to-front is handy * It turns on a dime * You look good pushing it * Easy to push with one hand * It is very lightI added some videos, pictures and more details:[@]"

"As you may have read, I Really loved my Bugaboo frog but when the cameleon came along I just had to have it! The new colors are OUTSTANDING! For base colors you can choose from: Dark Gray, Bright Blue, Red, or Sand. For Tailored fabrics choose one OR MORE of the following: Black, Blue, Green, Orange, Pink, Red, Sand or Yellow. The beauty of this stroller is mixing and matching to your VERY OWN taste.YOu can also purchase more tailored fabric to mix and match according to your mood. The dark gray and sand bases will match any tailored color you should choose. I must say at first glance, I was So confused on how and what to purchase. So many options are available. I was also confused on how it all worked. That is why I am writing this, I hope it will help you to better understand what you are going to see when you decide to make this your stroller of choice. The tailored fabric color is the color of FLEECE (which has so many advantages such as quick dry and easy to clean and also non-pilling) that you will find on your stroller's hood, a seat cover, and an apron for the bassinett. The base color will be the color of the seat itself, the bassinett, and the under carry bag. If you get a chance to use the bassinett, you will love the new and improved *aerosleep* mattress. It has SO many advantages over the old sleeping bag that came with the frog. It keeps baby so much cooler as it is fleece and prevents sweating. It also states that helps protect against allergies caused by dust and other particles. The price of the stroller has raised significantly, however, I still think it is worth every penny that you pay. For the price of the stroller you will receive the following in your box: The chassis, seat/bassinett frame, mosquito/bug net, rain cover, carry handle, maintence kit, tire pump, undercarry bag, bassinett and seat fabrics, a DVD to help you use your new stroller, and of course your customizable tailored fabric. Many of the features on the Cameleon are the same as the frog, including, the reversible seat, reversible handle bar, 2 wheel sand/snow postioning, 3 postion reclining seat, car seat adapatable (with extra accessory purchase), and swivel front wheels with suspension. New features include: an adjustable telementry handle bar so that you can adjust it to your height comfort. The seat is a bit larger at 35.4 inches, and the entire stroller folded weighs in a 20 pounds. The stroller can be used for a child from 0-4 years of age. Also, you can purchase extra items for your Cameleon and make it all your own. You can now purchase the customizable and matching diaper bag to go with your stroller, as well as a footmuff for the cold, parasol to block the sun, a travel bag for traveling with your stroller, and a wheel board for you toddler to hitch a ride on when he/she is tired of walking."

"The shoulder strap is terrible. I hate this diaper bag! The insulation ripped out of the bottle holder area -- and I don't even use this bag for bottles, so the insulation came out with little wear and tear, in about 3 months. The inside is all the same color, making it difficult to figure out which compartment you are in. The bag does look sleek on the outside if you don't have the bulky changing mat/fleece over lay thingy."

"I was hesitant if the price would be worth it..but i LOVE this stroller!!

Every time i take it out, i get tons of compliments..my newborn sleeps so well in the bassinet..and its actually very easy to open and close. I dont like the assembling instructions booklet..it makes everything sound more complicated than it is..so i searched online and found a video on how to assemble the bugaboo cameleon..it took 5 minutes to assemble!! no exaggerations! Its that easy. I dont mind not having a cup holder or place to hang my bag, i loveeee this stroller and would definately recommend it.

I love the way the bassinet can face you..so you can watch ur baby as he/she sleeps. Its very spacious and rides so smoothly!

Its not a small compact stroller..if thats what ur looking for..u might want to look at the frog or bugaboo bee. However I have an suv-jeep cherokee and my bugaboo fits in there nicely. However it doesnt leave room for much else in the trunk.

Definately 5 stars! Love it"

"This was our fourth stroller. Yes fourth. Even though we spent an immense amount of time researching and comparing the bugaboo isn't what we started with. The price was a deterrent and we weren't quite sure it would do what we wanted from our stroller. Well after a chicco, baby jogger, and bob, this has been the best and most versatile purchase. We absolutely love it and wish we would have just started with this stroller. The only reason we give it 4 stars is because i can't run with it as i could a jogger, but if that's all i have to sacrifice for the comfort and difference we've seen in our son it is well worth it. Our son affectionately refers to it as his strolly and we are very excited to use it with child number two when the time comes. Definitely the best stroller for the money for any stylish mom who wants qualityy and not just looks."

"I love the Bugaboo Cameleon and the Denim fabric is so cute! My husband was afraid it was going to be too girly for him but it is not, it is very dark and chic. I can't wait to use it. My little princess arrives July 1st.

The new 2008 frame is great.

My Maxi Cosy car seat goes in and out with no problem, I just flip the handle of the stroller back and voila, it is the easiest thing to click or "un-click" the car seat from the frame."
