bugaboo bee

[crumpet]

assuming someone has one?? tell me about it!

wanting to ask someone who has one a few questions.

[Bloom]

I have an old style bee from 2009. I love it to bits. My Dh and I are both huge bugaboo fans. Ask away and I will do my best!
Things I love (which were essential in a pram for me):
One piece fold
Reversible seat so bubs can face me

Sorry will be back with more later

Things I loved and were essential in my pram:
high adjustable handle (we are tall!)
reversible seat
one piece fold
one handle for one handed pushing (as opposed to two handles like a Maclaren stroller)
compact, not super wide

How does it go walking on footpaths? Could you use it for a hour walk for example?
What about firm dirt paths at say the zoo?
And with a newbie is it ok with the cocoon?
Have u got a skate board, is it awkward?

Sorry for so many questions!

Walking on footpaths is fine, no worries. We would do a 30 minute walk each night on footpaths (fairly poor condition ones) each night with DS1. Across grass, rocks etc it is fine for short distance or lower speeds. Even taken it on sand for beach trips. Firm dirt footpaths are fine too for longer walks - some might say it would be a bit bumpy for the child but we've never had any complaints.

We didn't get the cocoon as DS1 was a Sept baby in sunny Qld. We had him in it from a newbie.

We don't have a skate board, but we are considering getting one so DS2 (2yo) can ride while DD (6 months) is in the pram. I think the board would be fine, particularly if you had the handle extended tall, so they stood inside the handle.

The newer bee has connectors for a capsule (which I would have loved!), a more streamlined look and the seat goes bolt upright for an older child, where the older one still has a slight recline.

I got a second hand Bee+ recently. Its a great little pram and the buggy board rocks, its perfect for DD (almost 3). My little one is going to be tall so I liked that the Bee+ has extendable length. The new buggy boards can fit a seat on them which you have to buy from Europe. I haven't bothered.
There are a few things I'm trying to get the hang of, one of them is the harness, it doesn't seem to fit very well and is awkward to adjust. Its also difficult to remove the seat if you need to and to open the stroller when its rear facing. But fits well in the car and looks awesome!
