Safety? The bigger the wheels the bigger the clearance. All makes for strollers with large wheel and small wheels. People in cities might be perfectly fine with smaller stroller with smaller wheels. As a dad I like Bugaboo - the quality and design are great. Get one Bugaboo with big wheels for outside and one small bugaboo for taking in the car and travel. You don’t want to take outside stroller into a car generally speaking. It’s a very nice to have both. The sun canopy for bugaboo is a great optional extra - cup holder was overrated imo
My babies were too heavy for long periods in the carrier from about 4 months. I had a Bugaboo Bee pram and used it from birth with the cocoon. They are fucking expensive but I used mine for two kids/six years, never had any problems and sold it on Facebook for 1/3 of the purchase price. HIGHLY recommend.
I spent a while researching strollers, wanted a Bumbleride Indie but bought a Bugaboo Bee and a used Peg Perego Ypsi/Agio Z4, I used the Bee until he was like a year and then switched to the Ypsi. I thought the Bee was pretty good but the Ypsis super smooth and handles really nice. Also easier to fold and unfold. The Bees smaller size was great for shopping though. Up until he was like a year ago probably used the stroller like four times a week, now it depends wether the place I'm shopping has a cart to toss him in or not.
We were a Bugaboo family. We used the Bee and the Cameleon. The big wheels were great for the sidewalks. Only regret, or consideration, especially early on was getting a car seat / stroller compatible combo. We had Uppababy in the car and Bugaboo in the streets, so the trunk was pretty much always full whenever we went somewhere.
As other Redditors have said - consider your use case before buying. I started with a Bugaboo Bee and sold that for a Joolz Aer+, which is way better for our needs (one hand fold, travel friendly, light). But I wouldn’t spend a lot on a fancy one off the bat; your child may not even want to sit in it. Mine didn’t until she was 3.
Btw I‘m in ZH/very often in AG selling three different prams, a bugaboo buffalo, bugaboo bee and a cybex priam if you‘re intrested. Which leads me to another tip: get as much as you can second hand, it’s so worth it!
I feel like I’m the only one who is such a hater of the yo-yo. We were given one for free and I still can’t recommend it. We used it for our last holiday and had to put it in hold anyway as the plane was too full. So now just stick to our bugaboo bee and take that right up to the plane and put it in hold in the travel case.
In London too and had our first in a small Victorian flat, for context. We have a Bugaboo bee and a Babyzen Yoyo. I absolutely hate the Yoyo. Cannot stand it. It feels so flimsy, nearly blew away with my then toddler in it and just not great, aside from folding quite small. We’re on baby number two and our Bugaboo is still going strong. I can lift it up and down the tube stairs no issues, fits easily on the bus, and feels robust. It’s working out well and easy to push one handed with our toddler on a buggy board and the 10m old baby in the pram. Can also fit enough under the pram for both of them. The Bugaboo Bee is discontinued but you can get them second hand for a decent price, however, I’d maybe look into the Bugaboo Dragonfly.
I have a bugaboo bee and often fly to Europe. Always gate checked for free- the last few times I also brought the buggy board which got checked free of charge too (not at the gate though).
I am a .om to 4, and we have used a Nuna Triv for 3 kids, and we still love it. It is well worth the money even though it costs a tad more than the other strollers. We have the Joolz Aer, UppaBaby Vista, and the Bugaboo Bee, but the Nuna is our favourite. The car seats are amazing quality, too.
We got the Bugaboo Bee when child 2 arrived. Decided to not use a dedicated infant-pram (not sure of the terminology) but the bee came with an infant-carry-thing where he could lay flat in the beginning and then sit as he got older. Very strong, tough, and folds really small.
