Best Baby Gear Investment!

I can't praise this stroller enough. It is really easy to maneuver, rides very smooth, and really sturdy. Also, I won't lie, because it looks so good!
I understand this stroller could be little cumbersome to fold since it consists of two parts and takes lots of space in the trunk, but since I live in the city and walk almost everywhere this Bugaboo Cameleon is absolutely perfect. In fact, this is the only stroller we have until now and we have traveled to 3 continents. It rides on cobblestone in Europe as good as at the beach in FL. Even the rough, stroller-unfriendly pavements in Asia.
My son has been using it since he was 6 months old and now he is 2 and still enjoys the ride. My only regret, I wish I had this from the day one. I have always liked Bugaboo, but was a little put off by the high price and bought different (much cheaper) pram before he was born. Turned out it was a big mistake, was unnecessary expense since we finally bought this anyhow.
Other pros about this stroller, I can get the part that for something that might be broken or missing, and if in the future we have a daughter, we shall get another fabric set in different color.

Amazing! BUT.....
Reviewer: Samantha O'Brien , Phoenix, AZ
Date: January 15, 2010
Ok, so I LOVE my Cameleon!!! It's so easy to maneuver and I love that it's not some huge, plastic travel system that so many people tried to talk me into. My son was born at 28 weeks and stayed in the NICU for almost 3 months, so we really never got to use the bassinet feature, but if we have another baby we will definitely use it. I have never had to collapse it to put it in my car and I'm admittedly scared to after some of the things I've read, but someone gave me a quick little stroller that my car seat snaps into.. for now. (I need to suck it up though; I've watched the demo enough times so I know I can do it.) Plus we take the the quick/cheaper one when we travel because if something happened to the Bugaboo on a plane I would just die!! Now the ONLY reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5? It needs a removable tray! My son is at the little snack and sippy cup stage and there's nowhere for him to put them!

shoulder straps useless
Reviewer: Anonymous , sydney Australia
Date: November 18, 2009
The big issue with this stroller is that you cannot raise and lower the shoulder straps. Our child slips his shoulder out and stands up. This is terribly dangerous and tiring for whoever is pushing him. If it were possible to change the strap position as your child grows, the stroller would be far less frustrating to use and considerably safer. The rest of the thing scores well. Shopping bag underneath is completely useless and the fact that by the time you have managed to work out how to fold it up and maneuver it into your car the child has grown up and left home is annoying. Otherwise its not bad.

LOVE IT
Reviewer: Jena , Tallahassee, FL

I absolutely love the Cameleon. It is very easy to maneuver, and roll over rough terrain. It is also easy to adjust to fit your baby's comfort. For example, if your baby falls asleep in an upright position, you can adjust the angle of the seat so he/she is lying flat on their back. The bassinet was great for the first 3 months of my baby's life. It was nice to move him around our house so easily. Not only is this stroller comfortable for your baby and easy to use, but the appearance looks very modern and trendy. I would recommend this stoller for any new family.

Love it!

We bought the Bug and love it! We used the car seat adaptor in winter (when my son was a newborn) and it was so easy and quick to unfold the stroller, attach the carseat and go. We're in Canada and the stroller has handled the cold weather, salt, slush and snow. When the sidewalks were really slushy, we just turned the stroller handle around and had the big wheels in front. I love that my son can face me or face forward. We bought the footmuff and feel very comfortable taking our son for walks in the cold fall, winter and spring days and evenings in Ontario. Thank you Bugaboo! The downside that I've noticed is that when we unfold the stroller, the seat attachment prongs touch the ground and are showing wear. We now have to be careful when unfolding the stroller to minimize the wear on the prongs.

Good
Reviewer: Cynthia , Los Angeles, CA
Date: August 24, 2009
For the most part I love the Bugaboo. It turns on a dime and the bassinet is great. I use the car seat adapters with the car seat so transporting the bassinet in the car is not an issue. I use it for walks around the neighborhood and that works out great.
The sun canopy does lack structure and collapses which is annoying because it does not offer enough coverage as it is...and for the price of the stroller this should not happen.
It does take getting used to folding and unfolding but once you do your not sure why it seemed difficult at first.
If Bugaboo fixed the sun canopy my review title would be excellent instead.

Love my Bug!
Reviewer: Kiki Gomez , Jakarta, Indonesia
Date: August 22, 2009
I bought my Bug only a week ago and i am head over heels with this stroller.
Before i used a Quinny Buzz stroller for the first 5 months of my baby's life..
My baby is now almost 6 months old and he loves riding in his Bug. The stroller is such a breeze to steer.. even one handed with my baby in it, i dont feel the extra weight when im pushing the stroller..
It looks so stylish, such a head turner.. especially in the country where i live right now (South East Asia) not so many people actually own a Bugaboo..
I love how i get to personalized my Cameleon and even buy an extra tailored fabric so i can change the color to suit my mood and occasion. This stroller is so versatile, multi-function, lightweight and clearly made from high quality materials..
It does get a bit tricky when it comes to folding the stroller since i have to take the seat off.. but i really dont mind since its quite easy to fold once u get the hang of it and since the stroller exceeds my expectations in other aspects.. the only thing i HATE about this stroller is the bumper bar! it is difficult to remove and i found it impossible to take it off with one hand while holding my baby in the other hand. And i cant put my baby in my Bug with the bumper bar attached to the stroller..
I wish the bumper could open like the bumper bar on my Quinny Buzz, where the bumper bar is so flexible and it doesnt need to be taken off completely, with one side of the handle bar still attached the stroller, the other side would just twist in any direction, giving me way and enough space to put my baby in the stroller..
I would give this stroller a 5 stars if not because of the bumper bar..
But thats about the only drawback i have with my Bug ..
And even with that being said.. i wont trade my Bug with any other stroller..
