Bugaboo 2011 Cameleon Stroller - Dark Grey Base/Sand Canvas Tailored Fabric Set

 (6 customer reviews)

Before anyone purchases this stroller, I think they need to seriously consider how the stroller will be used. If you live in an urban area and always keep this stroller assembled...it would be a great stroller. If you live in a suburb, or your primary form of transportation is a vehicle, this stroller is a very poor choice. It breaks down into three pieces, and does not do so easily. There is nothing one-handed, or quick about the break down for transport. So, before you buy this stroller because it is the cool one, or the luxury one the celebs have, be honest about its limitations.

A few other Pros & Cons...

Pros
- Incredible ride & suspension
- Bassinet option allows you to use it for an infant
- Frame can be used with a Graco Carset...with the purchase of an additional adaptor
- Adjustable seat - child can be completely reclined, semi-upright or fully upright...and you can face them forward or backwards

This is Bugaboo's top of the line stroller and is undoubtedly one of the most expensive strollers on the market (though my daughter was able to get it for 20% off at a one day sale at a local store in Manhattan). When my wife and I offered to buy a stroller for our new grandchild, we had no idea that a stroller could cost so much. While you definitely do get what you pay for, you also need to decide if this stroller meets your needs, because like anything else, it has pros and cons that I will discuss.

If you go to the Bugaboo product site, you can compare this stroller with their less expensive strollers. This product is listed for "city, rough terrain and two-wheel position for beach and snow." My daughter lives in Manhattan, where many people use this stroller. But think very carefully before you buy this if you live in the suburbs and drive rather than walk to most places, because this stroller is not easily transportable.

I must say I have somewhat of a stroller fetish. I have 7 children, 5 are 5 and under and I thought I would try the bugaboo for my newest addition as I wait for the Orbit Baby Double. I have to say it was not my favorite. Switching from the bassinet to the seat is a pain. I do switch regularly because of the ages of my children and which stroller I have in the car. It did push very nice and I like the quality but just didn't love it.

Pro's:
looks nice
good quality
love all the washable fabrics
pushes great

Con's:
pain to switch the seats
I don't like the fold and unfold. I have RA and when my fingers are hurting this stroller is difficult for me to operate.
For the price there are other strollers I much prefer! Skate and Orbit are both better choices for me.
