what do you think of the Bugaboo prams?

[Miss K]

I actually brought the infinity rockstar baby designed by Bon Jovi off Dealers Direct and got 50% off it paid 320 including delivery and it gets delivered to the door the same as a bugaboo its awesome soo muh better than I thought too for the price it comes with a matching nappy bag and sleeping bag which they don't tell you on the site I recieved mine 3 days after paying for it and its tracked by australia post They come in Red Black or Beige I got the Beige cause the black was out of stock but its still HOT !!!

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.

I saw a bugaboo out in public today for the first time. It was being pushed around by a super trendy skinny chick with a scarf tied round her head. What I thought was that the seat doesn't look all that comfortable for the child. It's very stiff looking and kind of small. The basket-bag attachment under the seat was big and useful looking and the stroller fit through a regular supermarket checkout aisle ... but otherwise ... I don't know ... is it just prestige?

Honestly, I wouldn't have noticed the bugaboo at all but I check out every single stroller that passes me these days while I'm trying to decide what to buy. I don't think the bugaboo is all that special.

For me - it is the best investment I made It is lightweight so I can lift it easily on my own, easy to set up and put down (with some initial practice) and it fits into the back of a Barina even with the bassinette. It is also incredibly manoueverable which is an advantage in the city and able to be taken off road on walking tracks too.

I understand people may think it is prestige but considering the amount some spend on multiple prams trying to find the right one it was well worth the cost to find the pram we find most useful for our needs.

we have a bugaboo gecko and have had no regrets.

as the others who have one have mentioned, it is light, can turn on a pin and is narrow enough to fit where other prams dont. today for example i went with a friend for coffee and her mountain buggy couldn't get through the narrow door, while the bugaboo had room to spare! living in melbourne with it's poky stores narrowness is a big seller for me!

it folds up really easily and the bassinette and seat can sit on the frame in the boot.

also it is really durable we have travelled all over with it, through sand and snow and rough tracks in national parks, on planes, trains and trams without a hitch.

and the seat is not at all uncomfy for the bubs (DD would certainly let me know LOL!). she can sleep hours in the seat (and does!). i also really like that bubs can face you or can sit looking out...

worth every penny IMO.

my only wish is that they made a double....

OMG, me too!

I love my Bug. DS is 4 months old and still in the bassinette attachment, he sleeps beautifully in there and loves it.

The Peg Perego Primmo Viaggio car seat is at Babies Galore but it says "coming soon" on their website. I can't wait to buy one as it attaches to the Bugaboo!! :woot:

[Nicambhar]

Puppies, I was like you and went to check out the Bug but wasn't that taken by it and as soon as I saw the SC strider4 I knew it was the one so bought it straight away. I haven't had my baby yet, so can't comment on what it's like with a little person in it, but I am wheeling it around the house and playing around with it and just love it.
I was definately taken by the storage underneath too.

[sako]

another question for all you bug owners, how do they handle off road? (not just rough concrete)
I want a dual purpose pram which can be used in varying terrain, but at the same time isn't to big?

do you think the bug fits the bill?

thanks

[Madham]

Sako,

We have the BugAboo frog and theres only one thing I can say about them.

"I will never regret the decision to invest in the bug"

I think that speaks for itself.

[Cassius2]

i have to second that.

my bug goes everywhere with me. like i mentioned earlier we have dragged it across snow, sand and rugged terrain and it has stood the distance, with DD not noticing a thing!

trust me, once a bug owner always a bug owner!

[sako]

thanks for the info

sounds like the bug will do everything I want it to,
and last the distance as well

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...

[MamaPan]

I just emailed them to tell them that they HAVE to make a double... it is stopping all us bugafans from having more babies!!

[Indadhanu]

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...

[Aimz]

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?

[Aimz]

Shoegal my friend (who has had the Frog and the Chameleon) said she would NEVER buy a Bee because she didn't like the look of them. They were on holidays and they didn't have a pram so they went looking and she walked out with a yellow Bee!!

Her DS is nearly 3 and he loves it - he's much more comfortable in the Bee than in the Chameleon as he has much more room. She absolutely LOVES the Bee now! I think it's a better toddler pram and she said it's great for travelling because it's so compact.
