Hi - if anyone has either or looked at them, could you please tell me the difference, pros & cons of either the bugaboo chameleon or bugaboo bee (apart from about $800)
I realise they're quite exy, but I saw my friends bugaboo cameleon and was really impressed. I like that can have bassinet for baby and seat for toddler and that the handles reverse.
Would it depend on the size of the child? The bee looks more compact.
Alternatively - anyone used an Xplory pram? Look funky
TIA
i have a Bugaboo Cameleon its perfect!!!
im really happy with my choice it keeps him away from people and keeps him out of the sun :)
although it was rather expensive it was totally worth it.
We lobve our chamelon :) Best investment ever! The only down side to them is they have no toddler seat attachment for when you ahve 2 kids! We have the wheelie board but Ds is a runner and I dont thnki he will saty long on it!
I love that you can change the clours etc and that you can have baby face you or away!
I do like the look of the bee but it seems too small and as its the first one out of its type it may get a do over iykwim like the frog did to geko to eventually chamelon :)
Good luck xxx
I love my Cameleon!! I will try to find an old thread about why :)
I also love my cameleon, for all the reasons the other girls have said, but also because it is soooooo easy to maneuver and it's small width means it gets through tight places (which are very common in most shops) that most other prams can't. I think the Bee is more of a stroller type pram that is suited to older babies, I'm not 100% sure but I don't think you can lay the seat down flat for a newborn. While the cameleon is pretty pricey, when you think about how often you use your pram (for me it is every day) and for how long you will use it I think it is worth paying the extra money.
I decided on the bee. I have a small car and the cameleon was just too big for our car boot. It is 100% suitable for newborn.

There are a few posts in this thread about Bugs :)
I have a Cameleon too! Love it, but I think the Bee looks pretty funky too. I think the Xplory looks weird.
I don't know if it true or not but I have been told that the xplory is really unstable (it certainly does look it)...
I have the Chameleon. The only downside is that it is quite large when folded and sometimes I wish we had the bee but it is such a dream to use! I really do love it :)
If youa re going on a longer trip and need more room, the wheels come off the bug really easily and easy to pop back on, it can be pretty compact if you need it to be ;)
my friend has a bee and loves it (we have an oldschool bug gecko...and love it lol).
i overheard a sales lady in some big baby store tell one couple that the bee has a few kinks in design still...but this could be just sales conjecture to get the couple to buy the bigger version LOL! it looks totally cool and i love the compactness of it.
I'm loving our chameleon - and this is my 2nd baby it has been used for - still looks brand new and drives perfectly! LOVE IT!
