Why All Parents NEED the Bugaboo Bee Baby Pushchair
I purchased the Bugaboo Bee, the babynest, the footmuff, pram clips, cup holder, the parasol and the matching change bag. The Bugaboo pushchair arrived with an instruction manual and a great DVD. After working out how to unfold it, and clicking in the front wheels we were ready to go. Unfolding takes about 5 secs once you get the hang of it, and even I (not the biggest of people) can carry it one handed down to the car.
Compared to others I tried instore (didn’t try this one out) it’s SO easy to steer, slim - great for town - and best of all it is only 7.7kg. The adjustable handle meant that my very tall boyfriend could comfortably push it, and the design meant he WANTED to push it - in fact, I couldn’t get it off him!! He’s also very pleased he doesn’t have to trade in his beloved car for a ‘dadmobile’ as it folds down so small we can put it on the backseat (of a 3 door!)
Jade was so happy snuggled in the babynest and is never happier than in the Bee.
At first we thought the raincover was rubbish and looked really strange on the pushchair, then realised we had it on backwards!! It is slightly flimsy feeling, but it keeps her dry so I can’t really complain.
The shopping basket is roomy, however slightly hard to access while the pushchair is in ‘lie flat, facing you’ mode. However, when it is facing outward it’s much easier to slip things in.
With all the bits it cost just over £600 if I remember correctly, but they are not essential to the pushchair. Pram blankets could replace th £60 babynest, and the parasol is a not essential as the canopy keeps her well shaded.
All in all very pleased with it as a pram for a baby - although very pricey if I could choose again I’d pick the Bee.
