You should be able to find something. Here in Germany, I have seen a lot of Bugaboo Donkeys listed secondhand for around €500, and Foxes for around €300, often with tons of free extra accessories
I just bought a Bugaboo Cameleon 3 for €90 (including extra accessories). That means it’s an older model, of course, but it still works great.
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 🎊
I have both. The bugaboo chameleon I got off of marketplace and used for my older two singletons. It’s a single with a toddler skateboard thing on the back. I actually really dislike this stroller. The sunshade is annoying as fuck and comes off all the time and the storage basket underneath is small, flimsy and also comes disconnected all the time. It also needs to be taken apart to fold down and it’s just a pain. I still use it for my two singletons tho bc I’m too cheap to replace it.
I got the uppababy vista from a consignment store when I found out I was having twins. It was $200 and came with two rumble seats which was just too good of a deal to pass up. I used it instead of the bugaboo until the twins were born bc I liked it so much more. I borrowed the bassinet attachment for the twins off of a friend and I’ve been using it heavily since the twins were born. They both fit in one bassinet still at 9 weeks old. The storage basket is SO much better. The vista also folds down smaller. It’s a smoother ride I think too. So yeah, vista 100% for me but I’m stuck using both atm bc I have four kids under 5 🫠
I LOVE my Bugaboo strollers. I bought a used Chameleon (very gently used) for baby 1 years back, but just bought the butterfly for baby 2. I wanted something smaller and easy to pack up and take places. I’ll use the chameleon at home vs out and about. Handles like a dream
I honestly have two. I bought a second hand bugaboo chameleon in pristine condition for the infant bassinet stage, and it’s huge. Not super ideal for outings to a restaurant that’s not big. But great for walks and does fine at a mall. This baby I got a bugaboo butterfly floor model at Nordstrom that my almost 5 year old fits in. It is SO easy to fold up and down and I’ll be using it post c section with a car seat attachment and when baby gets a bit older.
I have loved my old Chameleon3, with this baby I went Butterfly simply due to the size. Kept the old one for trips like the zoo, normal walks, etc. but the big strollers are hard for shopping and traveling. I don’t think anyone can go wrong with bugaboo
I live in a suburb directly outside of a city and first had a bugaboo chameleon 3 - I love it, but that thing is a PITA to take places that aren’t a walk. It’s too big for tight restaurants, shopping. So I also got a Bugaboo Butterfly. It fits my 5 year old (who demanded I wheel her through the mall in it when I bought it). I’ll use that one with the car seat attachment to run errands or go to a restaurant
It depends on where you live and what you need - but this go around I got a Bugaboo Butterfly and LOVE it. I have a chameleon and it’s awesome but it’s huuuuge. It’s my long walk stroller
I love my Bugaboo strollers. However, if you need it to be smoother on rougher terrain, I’d get the Kangaroo or a used older full size model. I also have the butterfly and while it’s great to have in tighter spaces, it’s really better when they’re older or you use the car seat attachment. My ride or die is my old Chameleon. She’s taken a beating with two kids and is still rolling smooth and strong
Our first went into the convertible seat at around 7-8 months, she HATED the infant seat. It was worth it to us. She’s almost 5 now and we still use it as intended. I’m kicking around not using the infant seat for baby 2.
Stroller? I got a barely used Bugaboo for $200 and it’s been a dream. Smooth handling, one hand steering, I do not regret that. Will be using for surprise baby 2.
Crib? No. When she was ready we put her directly in a larger bed so we could lay with her when needed. I got a cheaper brand crib and had zero issues. Same with the mattress.
I wouldn’t spend a lot on baby furniture. They don’t use it for very long. Maybe one nice dresser they can use until they grow up. Expensive cribs, etc are temporary and don’t perform any different than cheaper cribs. I’d also consider convertible car seats that have a larger height/weight limit thresholds (if you both have cars). I wouldn’t spend a ton on the infant seat either, you may have a baby who hates it early (mine did!).
I’ll say my Bugaboo stroller has been worth its weight in gold. It handles like a dream and we hauled it everywhere. I’d also do bad things for a night nurse at the moment, my 2 week old is giving me the business from 1-4am and I am TIRED.

Travel-friendly, city-nimble, but tiny storage and struggles off-pavement.
