Bugaboo Bee questions :)

[FabFiona]

Hello! My name is FabFiona and I love my Bee.

In response:

- yep it is flat enough for newborns. We did with no problems.
- we didn't fold it up with the cocoon in it but I don't remember if that is because it's not possible. It is very easy to take in and out.
- ours took a few outings to soften up the moving parts.
- I too got a musty board for when my DS is a little older. It works really well when I've tested it.
- I love my bee!

What colour did you get?

I am just about to get some new hoods....am a bit over the yellow at the moment and am thinking of getting a couple of the limited edition ones....maybe the apple green and the tangerine? or the purple...argghh too many nice colours I can't choose!

Never used the cocoon as I traded in my cameleon for a bee plus after newborn phase was over, but the pram didn't fold quite as flat with the footmuff in (i was still using old cam footmuff which worked pretty well). It did fold, but just not quite as flat because there was a lot of puffy fabric in the way. It wasn't a problem. I'm guessing the cocoon might be similar?? I plan to use a footboard too and the cocoon for the next one. I LOVE it, much more user friendly pram than the cameleon or the umbrella stroller that I;ve used! I have the summer edition with sand seat and off white hood and I think it looks lovely! What colours are you getting?

Thanks Lyra - I'm tjinking the same thing, it will probably fold abit thicker. I'm glad to hear you like yours so much. I was feeling abit guilty about preactically buying a stroller for my newborn but it has different features to the regular stroller. I'm buying mine on sale so they only had the traditional colours as it came with the base. Its on layby as I'm waiting to find out the sex of the baby in exactly 11 days!!! I'm thinking pink for a girl and blue for a boy. Very original huh!!! I was so surprised my DH agreed to the pink as he'd complained previously that he couldn't push a pink pram lol. I said news flash, if it is a girl you are going to have to get used to pink very quickly!!!

Melbel, those colours sound awesome. Apple green would be lovely! How much does it cost to change the hoods?

FabFiona - thanks for your replies. It was really helpful. Waiting to find out on sex to determine colour. Either blue or pink! Did you get the bugaboo musty board? How much did it cost? It looks pretty cool. Glad to hear you love your bee

I'm still so excited, how ridiculous! Can't wait to get it

You can get the hoods here for about $110 but you can get them online from the US or UK for about $60...no prizes for guessing where I am getting mine from!!

The Mutsy board is not the bugaboo board....it is a different brand....if you google mutsy prams you should find them, they are a European brand but very vey well made and it is a universal fit so fits mosts prams incuding the bugaboo.

Mmmmm.... My brother is visiting from London in a few months. Might add some hot new colours to my shopping list.

As melbel said Mutsy is a different brand.

I think your DH would look great with a pink pram. We went with red.
