Bugaboo - Fox 5 Renew

The one I own now bugaboo fox 5 but if all I cared about was style I’d get the silver cross reef 2

All my research recommended two strollers - a really well built one, and a travel one, and that's what we ended up with. We actually bought two thinking we would keep one and saw they had different purposes. Here are some features that were important to us (either in buying or in retrospect): * The tallest handle possible for my tall husband (Bugaboo Fox 5) * Really good suspension for badly maintained roads (Bugaboo) * Lightness, foldability, and size to take indoors places like doctor's offices (Joolz Aer+) * Fit in care (Joolz Aer+) * Bassinet (both, but if I were to do it over I'd consider the one company that does overnight rated bassinets for naps) Things I didn't care about - car seat systems - each of these had adapters for our car seats. While we did carseats on both strollers for doctor's appts, for antyhing else we transferred baby to the bassinet. What we did find is that these really aren't interchangable. For example, the Joolz is really bumpy and our baby seems like they are sliding out of it now that they are bigger, but it's also the one that fits in the car and in public spaces well (like eating outdoors at a restaurant). The Bugaboo is much easier to handle once unfolded and comfier for baby but also now 50 pounds with the baby in it. The suspension really helps, but it can be a workout on hills and heavy to take down steps.

Joolz is great and light but not wonderful off of well-paved even roads. We have a bugaboo fox and a joolz aer plus and we use both for different needs. I also suggest getting the bassinet.

As an IVF person who had a kid later, I went all out. Bugaboo stroller, Clek car seat, etc.... I didn't have a registry. You are in a different place. I also believe in buying car seats and mattresses new for safety reasons. If you are being asked for a registry, I would populate it with small easy items and nothing big if this is a point of consternation among or if they are feeling financial pressure - it's also just good practice for a registry. But something meaningful like a nice book or something cute so people can engage in getting something adorable for the baby. As for work, avoid talking about it any more or say you're getting everything used off facebook marketplace (which actually does work well, I just didn't have energy while pregnant to go around buying things - I could have saved so much). Loved the baby bjorn bouncer by the way.

Third for the bugaboo fox 5 - I’ve had to use other prams when we’re travelling and it always makes me appreciate how good the fox 5 is.

My wife and I are also torn between the cove and fox 5. One thing we liked about the Cove is that you get a separate bassinet and seat whereas th Fox 5 uses the fabric from The bassinet for the seat. The seat on the Cove lays near flat whereas the Fox 5 it doesn’t(I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t). We found the Silvercross felt lighter and looked better than the Fox 5. The only thing we liked about the fox 5 in comparison to the silver cross was the bassinet collapsed however, it was significantly heavier than the silver cross’ bassinet

We did the Bugaboo Fox 5. Its amazing, super sleek & compact but the wheels are all-terrain. Also works with our car seat!

We had to go through a popular full size stroller for us to find out the hard way - had to buy a second stroller - that vista is way too large and heavy, and takes up the entire trunk of a car - we went with the bugaboo fox 5 and it’s significantly better for day to day.

I think this will depend hugely on your lifestyle and how much you want to spend. Definitely go try them out. John Lewis are great, mamas and papas too. Have a go steering, folding and unfolding etc. I would also say it’s probably a bit like wedding dress shopping, don’t try things that are out of your budget because it might make the things that are in budget feel a bit less appealing. (Also you could plan to try something more expensive but then buy second hand, there are brilliant refurbished options). We went for bugaboo fox 5 and a cybex cloud T I size (I think!) very happy with this setup so far. The old fox 5 model can be bought much cheaper now that they bought out the new fabrics for the renew. Positives: We wanted a pram that worked well for difficult terrain because I have dogs. This basically wholly governed the system we went for. I wear my babe most of the time for walks but wanted a pram that could be used in the woods, fields etc. I also wanted something that could be steered easily with one hand (leaving a hand for dog lead) and could be folded and unfolded one handed. Fox does all that well IMO. The cybex reclining almost flat is brilliant for popping into a shop without needing to disturb babe moving them into the bassinet. I also can’t imagine not being able to rotate the car seat to get them in and out. It’s a game changer. Made it much more comfortable for me especially post C-section. Negatives: I will say the bugaboo fox is heavy (although it doesn’t bother me). It also is big, we have a large estate style boot in our car and the pram still takes up almost all of it when using the bassinet. It would be terrible if you lived in a flat and needed to store it in the house and take it up and down stairs etc. I think we will probably get a light travel pram second hand for weekends away or any international travel for this reason. Good luck!

We have the bugaboo fox 5, it’s expensive but to me it’s worth it. Safe, sturdy, easy to put in the car, great in parks / city / cobble stone walks etc, lots of good storage, now our son is sitting up he loves being out and about (it’s also easy to recline when he falls asleep). I know it’s a lot of money, we live where we can walk everywhere so we get a lot of use out of it. That’s how I justified it anyway!!

I have the bugaboo fox 5 and love it. While it might seem bulky it’s been light and easy to get in and out of the car, good for the park / outings and good when shopping to fit stuff in. It’s comfortable for my son, he also sleeps well in it.

We have the bugaboo fox 5 and we're really happy with it. I think we tried out every pram in the UK before deciding! It pushes really nicely. The bassinet is bulky in the car though. It depends on your lifestyle. I wouldn't want to be taking it on the underground but we live in the North West in a semi-rural location and it's absolutely ideal
