Which Carseats are Compatible with the Bugaboo Cameleon?
Designing your personalized Bugaboo Cameleon:
First, choose a base color. The base fabric will determine the color of the bassinet base as well as the seat base. The base fabric is not interchangeable, so you'll want to consider this carefully.
Next, Use Your Creativity and choose the color of the tailored fabric. You can select matching fabric for a solid color, or create a striking combination that fits your personal style. Additional tailored fabric colors can be purchased as accessories, allowing you to change your stroller to suit your mood or changing tastes.

LOVE IT

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.

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

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

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..

I have had my bugaboo camaleon for 3 yrs, and now we are having a second child. It is not the easiest item to collapse at first...you have to get used to it...and it you are always on the go as we are you will get the hand of it! We have used it on the beach, at the mall, and walking in the neighborhood. Then we bought a farm and it works great on country dirt roads! It is pricey but worth it. We had a bassinet so we never used that attachment with our first child. We will use it this time around for our new baby. If you are seeking a versatile and fashionable stroller buy it...and the ebay resale value is great if you decide it isnt for you...try that with a Graco on ebay!!

Think Twice
Reviewer: Anonymous , Voorhees, NJ

I have never reviewed a product online but felt I had to say something to help those who might fall into the same trap that I did! I HAD TO HAVE this stroller when my first son was born. As soon as I got it the disappointment set in. It is probably the worst case of buyers remorse that I have ever had! I use it in my home as a bassinet for my newborns and that is about it! First time parents may think that its looks and name brand recognition are enough. Don't fall into that trap...it is the most impractical stroller on the market. You think that you are getting a bassinet feature as well as a regular seat, but you can not have them both at the same time. You will have to spend a good 10 minutes removing the bassinet fabric from the frame and tugging seat fabric back onto the frame to convert it from one to the other. Additionally, you have to remove the seat/bassinet from the frame in order to collapse the stroller. This leaves you with 2 very large and awkward pieces that need to be stored in your car in between uses. NIGHTMARE!! If you live in the city and plan on keeping the stroller assembled 100% of the time...this stoller might be ok...that is if you are looking for no bells or whistles (other than the logo on the canopy). However, if you live in the burbs and think this is going to work for everyday shopping expeditions when you are in and out of your car multiple times...you are sadly mistaken. If this is your intended use for a stroller and you buy the bugaboo anyway, I promise you that you WILL buy a second, more practical, stoller within a month of your purchase. If that is okay with you...go for it. I now admit that I bought this stoller because it was THE Stroller to have in terms of name brand. I see now that I was an idiot and hope that I can help just one person to save their $800+ and spend it on ANYTHING else!!! PS - the car seat adapters are an absolute waste of money. They were so unstable and competely inconvenient. What a joke. If you must have the bugaboo...wait until your child is big enough for the seat. I gave this stoller 2 stars because it does do what it says it will do...that just simply isn't enough.
