Bugaboo - Cameleon 3 Plus

Had a secondhand Bugaboo Chameleon with our first and it was really fantastic, we had quite a few extras included luckily, they get very pricey. After a couple of house moves we got rid of it before our second. We then got the Nuna Mixx Next which comes with all the extras and is very reasonably priced so that was great but I still preferred the Bugaboo. Definitely go and test at Babypark. Congratulations 🎊

We had a bugaboo chameleon and a donkey - they were fantastic. Easy to drive and very sturdy. Also had great resale value

I love my secondhand chameleon 3!! Also In BC :) the study wheels are soooo much smoother I find

I bought a bugaboo chameleon 3 for my first, used it for about 2,5 years and now using the exact same one for my second and it’s been great, still looks and functions as new. Bugaboos are definitely worth the money.

If you don't need a fancy box, pickup a fancy second hand one. We did that with a bugaboo chameleon when the kids were small, paid about your price and it had all the accessories, used it for years then it went to another family, it didn't cost us much, and was much nicer than any $2-500 strollers that other friends/family bought.

We have had no issues with the bugaboo cameleon 3, they're not the smallest. We were even able to relatively really get into the older trams when lifting. I'd mostly look at the ability to make tight turns/ turn in place!

Anything will work in the city, don't overthink it. And for hikes, I think any stroller will quickly feel annoying on anything else than concrete, but both stroller will be very fine for the occasional gravel street. If there's more terrain I think you'll quickly drop the stroller to go with a baby carrier anyway. I have a 2nd hand bugaboo cameleon 3 and a 5w old and so far I don't really care about more recent stroller features. The only one I really appreciate is being able to move the handle to both sides of the bassinet, so that if I walk downhill I can easily have the baby stay with the head higher than the body, otherwise she'll regurgitate in no time.

Hey I had this exact issue with my yoyo and the pavements here just outside London. Baby was about 3 months when we got it, we had the newborn pack. I just found I had to add thick blankets to the base of the newborn pack to provide a nice padded surface for baby, and a small rolled thin blanket over her head. Tbf I had to do this in the bigger pram bassinet (Bugaboo Cameleon 3) as we had one for park walks, the padding is not really sufficient in most at the early stage. She was and is absolutely fine, it was really the best pram from 3months to about 6.5 months when she started rolling in it and had to swap to the upright seat. Fit everywhere, buses, trains, tiny lifts etc.

IDK what your budget is but the Bugaboo was my dream stroller. I saved up for it and it did not disappoint! Super smooth effortless push (I live in NYC), shocks on the tires to absorb bumps. I brought a basinet stand so I was about to use the basinet bedside as well.

I just checked and they discontinued the Cameleon. It was replaced by the Lynx which seems to be just as good.

I have an older Bugaboo (Chameleon 3) that is perfect for rural living. Big wheels with great suspension, and the canopy is huge. Also on this model you can flip the handlebar so that the big wheels are at the front, which makes it super easy to get through mud or sand. I'm sure the current models are lovely but the Chameleon 3 is easy to find on FB marketplace for cheap.
