 worth it Apr 06, 2005
By C. M. Forster
"new mom"
Yes, the price is steep, but if you are a person who loves to walk, then this stroller is worth it. I spent 30 hours researching strollers, reading everything I could, asking friends with children for advice. Finally, the Bugaboo won out. It maneuvers beautifully, making walking a true pleasure. It can turn on a dime, which helps out hugely in stores and small cafes. It even motivates me to get out of the house and walk more often (sometimes two or three times a day!), benefitting me in the post-pregnancy weight loss area. A friend with a Peg Perego is switching to the Bugaboo, because as she says, the PP is like trying to walk a house on wheels. The Bugaboo is more like a Porsche.
A word to the wise, you'll want the Graco or Peg Perego car seat adaptor for those first few months.

we love our bugaboo frog Jan 10, 2005
By New Dad
Although the price is hard to swallow, this stroller is really awesome. The instructional cd is great in getting through all the features. It is unbelievably easy to fold and unfold, as well as use with our peg perego carseat (we bought the bugaboo adapters). We simply click our carseat onto the adapters. It is also very easy to get around tight corners which makes using it in stores a breeze. The wheels absorb almost all sidewalk bumps and our son sleeps peacefully through all our walks. It is lightweight, but feels very sturdy when in use. It truly is a beautiful and simple design, but also works as well (if not, better) as it looks.

Top of the line engineering for a top of the line price. Aug 09, 2005
By J. Ormberget

Everytime I start to write a review for the Bugaboo, it turns into a novel. I will just bullet point the high & low-lights and help you to decide.
Pros: 1. Definitely the coolest looking, best-designed stroller in your play group. People WILL stop you and ask about it. 2. Integration of Graco/Peg car seat via adapter is great. 3. Pram/Seat features are fun & handy as child grows. 4. Handle tilt, two-wheel mode, reverse-facing options, brakes, tires, suspension are all top-notch design features, while mosquito net, rain-shield, and optional bag-hangers, diaper bag, foot-muff, umbrella all come in handy albeit pricey.
Cons: 1. It still takes up considerable space in your car. We have a wagon, so we have the room to give. 2. When collapsing, you have to balance the handle, lest it gets scratched up. 3. Storage capacity. Americans require storage for everything including drinks for Mom and baby, Europeans don't.(Remember, they don't really care about cup-holders in their cars. We require 2-3 per person) 4. Most obviously, price. This pram is pricey.
We bought the Bugaboo and have noticed we do walk more with our baby. For that reason alone, it has been worth the price. The added looks and cache are a bonus.

 I don't understand why people love it so much........ Feb 04, 2006
By saadia
"sadia_ajmal"
Pros
one hand steering ,
Cons
large and clumsy,akward 2 piece fold,not very stable,tipsy hard to fit inside small car
The Bottom Line
Avoid it if you have -back trouble
-limited on space
-small car
-busy -child older than 1 yr (too small for tall kids)
I was so exciteed about this stroller bought it after reading hip reviews and also liked the trendy style.Every Baby magazine I read protrayed this stroller as the coolest looking stroller on earth and used by all celebrities.But soon after I got it i was not very happy....
This stroller is HUGE !!and very clumsy,It has a akward 2 piece fold,and is not very stable and tipsy It is very hard to fit inside small car.It would hardly fit inside my BMW 330i which is NOT a very small car!This stroller Is much BIGGER than it looks in pictures.
To inform you this stroller is NOT for you if you have back trouble or had an epidural recently as it can cause severe back aches from bending over to fold it and also hard to open chassis which takes a full 5 mins sometimes to open while standing on the street with baby crying inside the car!
I ended up returning it within a week because I did not think it was worth the money.
Although this stroller is projected to be very light weight and user friendly it is a complete pain to open and store .It weighs 26lbs also which is not very light weight in my opinion My friends also thought it was too large to steer inside stores and malls.In fact I got more annoyed looks of store owners than compliments....because the tires are HUGE
If you need a stroller look at strollerqueen.com where there are tons of reviews for other better strollers which are much cheaper than this one and have other great features.Think twice before buying this one.Returning it is also hard as most stores will charge a 15% restocking fee if you return it.
Honestly I tried to love this stroller but I could not...If you have a HUGE Suv ,a strong back and can lift weights and walk a lot ourside I can see buying this stroller would be an option as it steers very well.However if you are limited on space,looking for a light weight stroller or hope to take it to the mall I would suggest passing on this one as it is simply a hassle to put together and although it is very very good looking stroller I don't think it is worth $729 for looks alone...

Had it for 3 years - It is Just OK - Better Options Jul 16, 2008
By J. Magro
"www.aMichiganMom.com"
I've had this stroller for three years now. I've used it with both my kids (now 3 and 1). Wouldn't buy it again. Here are my thoughts
Cons
* Only fit my son until he was 2. He is 3 now and 35 lbs and there is no way he would be comfortable in it.
* Two pieces are VERY annoying. Getting this in and out of the car for a quick trip to the bank, or a run into the store gets old fast! It was also cheaper to buy another stroller than to buy the travel bag to go with this thing if you plan to travel with it on an airplane.
* Folded it is BIG. I've got a Passat Wagon and it takes up 1/2 the trunk.
* Stroller will tip over easily. Front wheels easily cause stroller to tip. If you hit a hole in the road, you could easily dump your kid out of the stroller.
* Don't try pushing this thing in the snow. If you live in a cooler climate where it snows, small amounts of slush will make your stroller unpushable because all the slush clogs up in the areas above the wheels.
* Storage space is VERY hard to access when you have the bassinet attached, is OK when the baby seat is being used.
Pros
* On even payment, pushes and turns like a breeze
* If you are in to Style you WILL get comments and looks when pushing this thing, but I personally didn't like this. I bought the stroller because I thought I was buying the best performing stroller on the market since I walk ALOT. I have since learned this is not true - there are MUCH better options out there and I always felt like pushing it made me look like a snob.
* Baby sits high and upright - my daughter likes that she can see what her brother is doing. If you push it next to the table, they are close to table height.
