We have a bugaboo frog and I love it, would never change to anything else. Just looking into getting the board for DS now we are expecting again.
I have one and I luuuuurrrrrvvvvve it, it's the best thing ever! I have never for one single second regretted spending the money.
Ours is grey and red. What colours are you going to get??
I have a Bugaboo Bee due to having a small car and I love it so much. Bugaboo make really good prams.
They sell quite often on eBay due to people getting them as gifts or not using them often. You might get a bargain on there.
Oh good I knew people loveeedd them :)
I'm thinking about one I found on eBay ( lol fabfiona) it's red and sand colour base but it also has the pink kit too they want 800 for it but hopefully I can get it a little cheaper but there is quiet a few on eBay I can't afford a bran new one really wish I had of got one the first time!!
I love them and the size and weight is fantastic!!

Can anyone tell me the difference between a frog and chameleon bugaboo?
Can you still play with the colours and is it very similar?

I have one, charcoal base and pink toppings. I love her! I also have black toppings, but they are so boring...
Be careful buying the Cameleon on ebay, some of them are 'replica' Bugaboos brought in from China. Google 'replica bugaboo' and check out what comes up! These prams don't comply to Aus/NZ safety standards. Make sure you buy from a reputable seller!
I think the Frog is the older, superseded version of the Cameleon and you can't change the colours? Someone else might be able to clarify...
I had one, which I sold and bought the strider :lol:
It was ok. Not worth what we paid, but if your getting it second hand that's not so bad.
Likes:
Light weight,
Pretty colors :)
VERY easy to clean
Easy to use
Dislikes:
HAVE to pull it apart to collapse it - not good for the bus
It's a bit annoying that you have to put the seat on the dirty ground to set up the frame first
Every second person seems to have one :rolleyes:
Accesseries are very exxy - ie very basic plastic cup holder = $50 :o
Not much space in the basket (The strider one is great!)
love love lve ours but we are thinking of selling it to get a bee......maybe pm me if you are interested......we have afew different toppings and accessories......maybe I wont be able to part with it lol :-)
ACCC website. Page 5 onwards explains the safety requirements :):
Nickle are you serious?
What about the uk ones?
I found one very cheap brand new and they said it's a uk made?

If you check out the strollers and prams forum they have a list of eBay sellers to avoid. I can dig up the link if you can't find it.
Thanks heaps fab!!

Sorry but I'm going to go against the grain here and admit that I did regret buying my cameleon. Don't get me wrong- I LOVE this pram, the look, the steering, the suspension. BUT after about 8 months the 2 piece fold stared to REALLY annoy me and I found I was avoiding using it for short trips and just carrying him, simply because I couldn't be arsed to put the damn thing up. So when the new bugaboo bee came out I did some research and felt that the easier fold etc more than made up for the drawbacks (no bassinet, not as good on rough terrain). Anyway so after LOTS of to and fro I have sold the cam (sold for a really good price on ebay) and got the bee plus (got it in UK) and I am SO happy! It's fantastic, much better for public transport, much easier to put in and out of the car, and I LOVE IT! Now he's bigger the lack of bassinet obviously doesn't bother me as much, but I hope I don't regret the decision for #2...
Anyway, didn't want to dampen your enthusiasm for the bugaboo, they are fantastically made and great to use, and I know lots of people think this is the ideal pram, but just wanted to share my experience... for me the 2 piece fold was just too inconvenient long term, and the bee plus was easier day to day. Anyway, be reassured that if you do find you want to sell one in the future, they have great resale value as long as you look after them.
Happy pram buying!!
Lyra no thank you so much
Since dd is only 4 monthsbi decided for the chameleon and when she is alot bigger I'll probably sell it for a bee too :)
I went to baby bunting yesterday and played with them and she was too small and didn't sit well in the bee
Oh and I totally get you on the 2 piece fold lol it is a pain in the butt

Zaki, I just purchased the Bugaboo Chameleon at my local baby boutique and am in love with it:) Stylish, 5 year warrantee and design your own clour system with the carriage etc. (Mine is sand base with black cover/neutral and pretty:) I am so sad but I didn't realise I would be so excited over a pram.lol But a big fan. Yes expensive but before being pregnant I would get mummy envy over the pram when I saw one:) So great investment. Saying that my mum helped me pay for it but you can always layby. Take care x
haha so glad I'm not the only one obsessed with prams :) When I was pregnant I spent every night from about 12 weeks until 20 on the internet reading EVERY review for prams! It became a bit of an obsession! lol. Curlygirly so glad you're so happy with your pram! I know the excitement!
Zaki, yeah I know what you mean, the "bucket" sort of seat with the cam means that they always fit perfectly in it. When I got the bee at first it seems that he slumped down a bit and didn;t look as comfy, but I just had to push his bum right back in the seat and do the straps up a bit more firmly than I was used to in the cam, and it's fine now. I think the cam is better for those littlies, wish I could have kept both! ;)
Lol thts what I do too!!
When I'm preg I buy every magazine that has all the prams and etc.. Plus I talk the net too lol
I think I have had around 30 prams since my first ds and this will now be dd 3rd pram lol and she is only 4 months old dh is going crazy but I'm paying do I told him butt out lol

The whole fold up and unfold thing takes a while but once you get it, it's no probs at all :)
Lol i have been practising! :)
*like* Enjoy!!
30!!! Jeez I'm an amateur in comparison, but I guess I;m only on baby # 1! :D
I had a Cameleon & it was awesome except DS was 22 months when I brought it and was too tall for it therfore only had it for a few weeks! Ive had a gecko too, same problem!
I've got the chameleon in the paul frank print, and I love love love my pram!
The bassinett was fantastic, Austin slept in it for the first 8 weeks in our bedroom and anywhere else we happened to be! I found that although the accessories were expensive, there are a lot of universal accessories that can be used on it, cup holder, rain cover, etc. There's also a few sellers on ebay that make assorted covers which are much cheaper then buying the bugaboo ones.
I just wanted to ask if anyone knew if I wanted to get a different colour seat base or new wheels where would
I look? I looked on bugaboo but they don't ship to Australia :(
I'm even hunting the denim set either 007 or the 107

Ive been looking for ages to get a new base seat, but you can't seem to get them! You can get a custom made one, but i am reluctant to fork out that much for something thats not actually bugaboo IYKWIM?
You can get some really cool ones though! Just google custom bugaboo.
I *think* you can get new wheels direct from bugaboo? Have you checked their website?
Bugaboo have a very active Facebook page where people are always listing items for sale. You might find what you are after there.
Appletree we seem to be in the same boat lol
I've looked on the website and we can't actually buy from there it will only say the retailers and I could imagine how much that would cost...
I might have to browse on my mums fb cause I don't have one lol
