This was also my reasoning for getting the bassinet attachment for my bugaboo bee!! I didn't want to have my newborn strapped in a stroller seat for over the recommended time when going out and about. It was super useful at ped appointments because baby could just nap or lay there, playing with his toys, since we'd end up being there for 3 hours.

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.

We just went through this as our "big" pram became too unwieldy for me at 18 months. We already have a travel pram but I wanted something else for just getting around the neighbourhood. Ended up with a cheap Bugaboo Bee off marketplace.

Our pram got artificially damaged in the hold even though it was bubble wrapped so we bought a travel pram on Facebook marketplace for £150 and have used it so much! We got the bugaboo bee but there are so many great travel prams. Second hand is the way to go if you can find one

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).
