Bugaboo - Fox Cub

Bugaboo Fox Cub, purchased new and used for 5 months now. - pros: cheaper than every other big name prams models (I bought the bassinet and pram seat bundle through black Friday sale for $960 last year), I think due to it being a smaller version because it's not expandable for two kids. We loved everything else about it. Very easy and smooth to push around on hilly and rough terrains. Bub sits pretty tall and comfortable, he falls asleep in both the bassinet and pram seat no problem and never cried in this pram. It looks good and feels solid. It fits fine in the boot. - cons: It requires two hands to fold up. So I'll need to lock bub in the capsule/car seat, then turn around to fold and load the pram into the car. I know that some Bugaboo models have a one hand one click fold thing. But in reality, taking an extra 3 mins to leave the pram by the curb/parking lot when you handle the baby is no problem and every stranger gives you way anyways. The bag space under was a little small when we had the bassinet on and we had to use a small nappy bag, but it got significantly bigger when we switched to pram seat. Other tips: I didn't buy bugaboo branded assesories, I got a coffee cup holder off Amazon for 20 bucks, and a woolly foot muff from Gooseberry for 100 bucks. They are compatible no problem. Single pram vs double pram: to be honest, i felt it was too soon to make a decision for things that might or might not happen in a few years. I also prepared for having more than the one pram. I heard from lots of 2+ kiddo families that their oldest doesn't want to sit in the pram once they're in walking age, so I just opted in for a small, cheaper but decent single pram, and will prepare to buy another once I'm actually prego with a second and see how my first turns out.

We have Bugaboo Fox Cub, and same. It takes soo much space, I honestly liked the cot for when she was a newborn, but now with sport seat I understand I made a mistake. It's just so huge to deal with. Had to buy a travel buggy now that our baby can sit up. Wish we went with Cybex Melio instead, cuz newborn phase is over sooo fast. 🥲

Fox är poppis. Vi föredrar får Emmaljunga, särskilt ute på vandringsstråk, skog, landet. Dock lite tyngre och tar lite mer plats.

Exactly this! We take family and friend recommendations and go to FB marketplace. Our pram is a Bugaboo we got for $150, and it has been great. Its lasted almost 3 years and we paid a fraction of the cost, I’m super happy with it. The only thing we brought new and expensive was the car seat and cot mattress.

Fox är så sjukt nice att köra. Håll utkik på Marketplace. Häromdagen såg jag en la ut en för 4000kr.

If you’re not worried about budget I would suggest not getting a double. If you need it later get one then, they are generally heavier and bulkier prams even in single mode. The uppababy Cruz for example is almost exactly the same as the vista just a single pram and a bit lighter and a tiny bit smaller footprint. As a nanny I pushed a fair few prams, and one I did not enjoy at all was a Joolz. I found it just not nice to push and steer. I’m personally very fond of Bugaboo prams, a Fox or a Kangaroo if you want a double. Edit to add: I’d suggest going to a shop or an expo and pushing a few different prams around with a 10kg at least weight in them too see how they feel with a child in rather than just empty. Most prams feel lovely empty! You can feel the difference as more weight gets on them. Also worth considering your needs, are you city based and not likely to do much off pavement prams use? Or lots of cross country? Cause that matters for choice too. If you’re on and off trams in Melbourne a smaller pram might be what you want

Go on marketplace and get yourself a second hand bugaboo fox or similar. Mine is from 2021, and I’ve got about a year still to use it before I’m done, if I were to sell it I’d be selling for around $250-300 and it’s in great condition, a few scratches on the frame from wear and tear but everything else basically perfect.

I’d go and try them in person at a shop or expo, and push them with a weight in. I personally have a bugaboo fox and love it. But it’s not lightweight or a one hand fold. A friend has the dragonfly and loves it for a smaller pram but still not a travel style

Maxi cosi Pria is an amazing car seat, love it, it is pricy, but you might be able to get it on sale. I also love my bugaboo pram, there are ones going second hand that are in great condition, especially if someone is upgrading to a double for a second child!

I love both my fox and my butterfly, different uses. Quick out and about, don’t need to lug around heaps of stuff, staying on pavement? The butterfly every time. Anything else, long day, lots of stuff, gravel or off roading, then I need the fox.

Lovvve our Bugaboo! Fox cub. Heard great things about their other prams too.

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.

Go on Facebook marketplace put in the posh brands and get them second hand, got a £1,000 bugaboo fox for £200, plus a baby zen yo-yo travel pram, £700 new for £100

I totally feel you, picking out a stroller was overwhelming!!! It’s the only item we purchased new (everything else is had me down and second hand) but we thought if we are using it daily for 4 years it’ll pay off. We’re also living in the city (no car) and so will be using the buggy a lot. We’ve looked at Bugaboo, Cybex, Nuna and Joolz (which seems to be suuuuper trendy now here in Europe). My conclusion after a ton of research and visiting stores was that at this price point and looking at the similar models, they are really all the same, with the same features😅 I liked the bugaboo fox design the most, it was slightly more expensive than the rest but I found a website sale and got it 40% off. However it is clear, that this will be more of a bigger, sturdy everyday stroller in town. They all fold quite big, and are heavy. I definitely see that we will need a lightweight travel one pretty soon that folds small for flying and road trips. Like a bugaboo firefly or joolz air.
