The Bugaboo Bee is the latest luxury pushchair from Bugaboo. Bugaboo, who are known for their quality pushchairs, have made a stroller that addresses one of the major complaints parents have about Bugaboos: that the all come as two part systems. Trying to pack up a stroller by disassembling it every time you get in the car is too much of a pain, especially when you’re paying upwards of £500 for a Bugaboo stroller.
Other complaints about the early Bugaboo models include their lack of sunshade and impractical storage basket. The Bugaboo Frog, Gecko, and Chameleon are also far from compact, making them less than ideal strollers for city dwellers who need to save space. The Bee is the first Bugaboo stroller that has a one piece fold, meaning that parents are able to quickly fold the stroller using one hand. The Bugaboo Bee comes with a massive sunshade, which we feel works very well.
Many of the other pushchairs will charge you extra for the umbrella, which is often fidgety and easily moved around by babies. The Bugaboo Bee’s sunshade also protects your baby from UV rays. The Bee continues the tradition of Bugaboo’s superb handling. While the Bee doesn’t have the unique chassis that make the Bugaboo Frog, Gecko, and Chameleon stand out, it does have front and rear suspension and a “swivel wheel systemthat make the Bugaboo Bee very maneuverable and easy to use.
The Bugaboo Bee also features a one-handed seat adjustment that is a huge improvement over the other Bugaboo models. The Bee is one of the most stable pushchairs we’ve come across. It feels very sturdy and safe. While the Bee is an improvement over the other Bugaboo strollers in many respects, it does have its own faults. Yes, the Bee is a one-piece system, but it still doesn’t fold down as compactly as most other light strollers. The Bee will easily fit in an SUV, but a standard car trunk may be a tight fit. Like the other Bugaboo strollers, the Bee can be a little tricky to figure out at first.
While the Bee’s adjustments are a little more intuitive than the Frog or the Gecko, they still require practice to master.
