I have been thinking about getting a Bugaboo Bee ever since I first saw them and realised how compact and light they are. Of course, me and my big mouth, I mentioned it in passing to the boyf who poohed poohed the idea as we already own two pushchairs, a Quinny Buzz and a Mamas and Papas Nipi.
But…I obviously don’t intend to have three pushchairs… So now I just have to sell the two of them (probably on ebay) and problem solved. Oh…I just need to find a way to sneak it past the boyf…
So why do I want a Bugaboo Bee? Well I actually love the look of it but I did try one out in my beloved John Lewis – I never thought I’d like this store but it’s so handy and you know I’m already addicted to Waitrose! Anyway…I digress..
So yes it looks hot to trot, it’s compact, and whilst it’s not as light as the Nipi which is 6.4kg versus the Bugaboo Bee’s 7.7kg, I find very lightweight pushchairs are great for travelling and flinging in the boot but they aren’t the most robust and I can feel too much when I push them. Bugaboo Bee’s are a fantastic halfway house because there’s no more weight worries but their also robust and quite nifty and nimble. I also love the one handed steering I got used to with the Quinny Buzz.
It is £359 at John Lewis though…
Am I considering anything else? The Micralite Fastfold Stroller. I shall wax lyrical about that tomorrow…
