    Hi - the only thing I would suggest if you are planning on doing some bush walking is to look at some 3 wheelers as well, as you can lock the front wheel for 'off-road'. We have gone for a Phil and Ted for this reason (among others) as DH's family live in the country and we know we will need to regularly use the pram over rough terrain.

    on a cost per use basis it did not work out bd compared to many other things for babies...

    We went and checked out a bug yesterday and my first impressions were not that good. What ended up getting my attention more was the 4 wheeler by SteelCraft. I liked the way it folded up and it had plenty of storage room too. Has anyone got one of these and what do you think? I am still considering the Prego Skate though.

    Just thought I would comment on a few of the posts...

    Re there are cheaper versions.... AHHHHH NOOOO I work in a baby store and the only pram that compares is the Quinny Buzz which rtetails around $1000 so not much cheaper. If you push the copies you can tell what your paying for. Granted that its a lot to spend, but no other pram hold value like it. People pay close to RRP for second and thrid hand prams... Sorry if this offends, but IMO they are one of the best prams. Also you cant compare them to prams such as phil and teds and mountain buggy, completey different....

    Hope this helps.. I agree go into stores and check them out.... you'll know why they are the price they are when you see all the functions and push it in store. I have had customers that came in saying that they would never buy one as they're such a wa^k with the celeb status and ppl buy them just coz Angelina had one.... well guess which customers buy a bugaboo after me showing them through it????

    Oh just on the SC strider... while its good for you money, it it horrible to push. It is soooo bumpy, I have had two friends buy them and sell them just as quick... another pram that is ok and has the features of a bug is the Joolz, but again your paying for it...

    LOL Honestly? No offence, but I think they're the ugliest and most uncomfortable looking things I've ever seen! But I guess it depends on what you like... I suppose if it does what you want it to do then great, and if you want to pay that much for it then thats cool. I don't really see how they can charge so much for something that is so minimal though...? JMO...

    The fact that they are minimal is what makes them worth it IMO.

    They are lightweight, manoeuvrable and very well constructed. You get what you pay for - and that is quality.

    Word to that Amy! Nice av too hun.

    DS loves his, I don't know how anyone can say they are uncomfortable? He sleeps beautifully in his when we are out.

    And they aren't minimal, so many other prams you have to purchase a bassinette attachment seperately, all in the one price when you purchase a Bugaboo.

    Pregpan, I would love a double one day.

    Anyone own a Bugaboo Bee?

    I've ordered a Bugaboo because after extensively test-driving heaps of different brands and models in stores it was the only one I felt really comfortable with. The suspension is amazing! Image and brand-name didn't have any influence. If anything, I know I'll be embarrassed that people know how much i spent!

    I ordered my Bug Cameleon on Saturday from Baby Bunting and they called today to say it was in stock already! (Today is Monday) I got a red one with grey base, but am very much looking forward to buying a pink/blue one once baby is born. I am very excited to get it as it was easily the best in the store and we drove a few. DH had great fun spinning it around.

    Did you get canvas or fleece on top? We have the red topping and grey combo too, looks great! I have to fight DH to push the pram too. Enjoy your Bug.

    i just got a canvas top, should I get a fleece do you think? Yay that the red and grey looks good. I love the pink and sand combo, that pink is such a hot shade. I hope the baby is a girl so can get the hot pink!
