I had the amazing opportunity to try out a Bugaboo Bee for a few weeks. It confirmed for me what I thought it would. I should have gotten one in the first place and so should you!
With 6 kids I have been through 5 strollers. I think the number is so high because I was never really satisfied with the stroller I had. They were big and bulky, difficult to steer, tricky to fold down and set up, just to name a few of my issues.
Bugaboo wasn’t around (or at least I hadn’t heard of them) until I was expecting my last child. At that point I really wanted a Bugaboo and was planning to purchase the Bee. However, I ended up giving in and getting a cheaper stroller. Big mistake! This stroller (while still being from a reputable manufacturer) ended up being a major pain! To steer it was a nightmare and the straps were frustrating to use (to say the least). Oh, and it’s big and bulky. It would have been a much better investment for me to have purchased the Bee to begin with!
So, I am guessing you want to hear why I am advising you to use your hard earned money to purchase a Bugaboo Bee? Well, the very first thing I noticed is how light it is. It arrived on my doorstep in a huge box and I thought I was going to have to enlist some help to lift it. Nope, it was incredibly light! This makes it easy to get it in and out of the car as well as to push it around.
The Bugaboo Bee pops up and collapses down very easily and is very intuitive! I did read the manual but I felt as though most everything was very easy to figure out just by looking at the stroller. I loved that!
And my favorite feature? This stroller rolls around like it’s gliding on ice. It is the most smooth stroller I have ever tried and SO easy to push around. The Bee turns on a dime and fitting through tight quarters is a breeze.
The Bugaboo Bee is a stroller that you can use from newborn to toddler and you can customize it by picking your favorite color and accessories. I love that you can flip the seat around so that the baby is either facing you or away from you. Oh and the seat adjustment for height is super easy. I have never seen a stroller that was as easy to adjust as the Bee.
If you want to use your car seat with the Bee you can purchase an adapter so that you can go from car to stroller without disturbing your sleeping baby.
For more information or to purchase you can check out the Bee on Bugaboo’s site here. Or you can purchase the Bee on Amazon. The Bugaboo Bee retails for $600 for the base and $49-$59 for the sun canopy.
