Re: Does anyone have a Bugaboo stroller ? If so ....

I really like mine (we have the frog). We love the way it handles (in the store or on the street). One of the best features is the reversible handles and the reversible seat.
The pram part was great when DS was first born. We used all the time in and out of the house.

It fits great in our trunk (I have a pont. G6). A plus is it is two parts so you have many choices of placement (truck, back seat, ect.)

The only neg. its a pain to travel with via airplanes (took it to FL and AZ). We have the travel case but you need to take the wheels off (which is very easy) to put it in and you need to lug the case with you at the airport. We gate checked it.

DS is very comfortable in it (he is now 17 months)

Re: Does anyone have a Bugaboo stroller ? If so ....

i have the cameleon bug. it looks great and very eye catching. strangers sometimes stop just to look at my stroller. heck. i did before we got it. it's a status thing, i think. don't get me wrong. the stroller does have some great qualtiies. for instance, switches from bassinet to big boy seat, its shock absorber, maneuvers well, good under storage compartment, 3 inclines, can be face forward or rear, handle bar can be switched from one side to the other and several more good things.

its bad qualities:
too wide for certain aisles, takes apart in two pieces and it's heavy. i have a bmw x3 and it takes up practically the whole entire trunk. and that's REALLY bad!

i like it and i don't...

I'd agree with all of this. I havent traveled via airplane with it yet though. I live in the city and love how it handles on the streets but I'm also on LI quite a bit in and out of the car and so far it's great. Then again, I have no other strollers to compare it to...

I have the frog and love it! It rides so nice and I love the look of it.

I loved the bassinet part when DS was younger and now in the seat he looks so comfy.

But the one thing I don't like about it is that in order to fold it, you need to take the seat off. So it stores in 2 pieces in my trunk.

I use it when DS will be in the stroller for awhile, but for quick trips into 1 store it is easier for me to use my Mclaren.
