AWESOME!

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

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.

The Best Stroller Ever!!!
Reviewer: Anonymous , Calgary, Alberta
Date: July 10, 2009
The whole family loves the bugaboo cameleon. My 2 daugters 11 and 12, my sons 4 and 8 and I are havinga lot of fun.Do examine your needs before purschaing. I choose the bugaboo because i wanted a stroller appropriate for a newborn and current medical advice is that young babies should lie flat for extended trips. Our baby has had many naps outside enjoying the fresh air on our deck and as well as many walks. I did not find the removal of the seat to puit in the car problematic. It does take some learning but once you know how to do its fine. One helpful salesperson told me that every white button does something. With regared to the complaints about size of the bottom bag I must say that the cameleon does have a larger bag than the frog and i have always just downsized my diaper bag things to accommodate it. How much storage do you really need?? We love the bugaboo cameleon and would highly recommend it.

We love our Bug!!

The best $1000 ever spent. As an infant, our son slept in the bassinet as his bed for 4 months before we bought him a crib. The stroller is very solid and well built. My son preferred to take his nap in his stroller until 18months! Now at 3 1/2 he still loves riding in it for our nightly walks. $1000 stretched over 4 years...not bad! Most of my friends who did not buy a bugaboo have already gone through 3-4 "cheaper" standard strollers for the same price! I say my bet is on the bugaboo

Needs Some Improvements
Reviewer: Anonymous , Tarrytown, NY
Date: May 18, 2009
First of all, unless you live in the city I recommend using the snap-n-go for the 1st few months. The bassinet is too large to keep taking in and out of the trunk. Also, it's nice to keep an infant in a carseat so you dont wake them up while transfering them to and from the stroller. Plus the snap-n-go is amazing for the price. I've been using the Bugaboo for over a year and overall I do like it but I have to say I think it could use some improvements. I will list both the positive and negative in hopes that the company can make some changes and buyers can make an educated choice. Good Luck! Pros: 1) It's so pretty. 2) I cannot imagine an easier ride. I've taken this stroller up and down stairs, on the grass and on the beach. You cannot ask for a better ride. Cons: 1) Cup Holder! This is a big complaint. I really dont like how the cup holder sticks out further than the wheels. Im always taking it off to fit through places or hitting it up against doorways. 2) Another big complaint is the sun canopy. It has no structure to keep it in place and it doesnt come down far enough on sunny days. My poor baby always has the sun in her eyes. 3) The storage basket is so small it doesnt hold much more than the rain cover and a blanket.

All up the best on the market.

As a Nanny I've had a chance to road test more prams than I can count on my fingers and toes even buying a couple of my own. The bugaboo has to be by far the best one I've used. It would be the pram I would buy when I eventually have a child.
It is very easy to use and amazingly easy to clean which is a bonus as a pet hate is to clean the pram every 2 days! Master 5 months LOVES his ride getting not only comments about his good looks but his very hansom set of wheels!
I've yet to get it into any car but just by the size of it can't imagine it being all that easy. The cons I've come across are
-The basket is too small but ascetically the perfect size.
-The front bar is quite difficult to come out but easy enough to just not use it.
-The safety strap could be that 2 inches longer so I could reach pedestrian crossing lights without taking it off becoming a safety issue.
All up the least amount of cons I've had with any pram I've ever used. You really should look into making a side by side twin pram.
