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.

Have a bugaboo fox club it is so easy and smooth. Much better than the babybee duo 2 I previously had which was nice but so bulky and hard to manoeuvre at cafes/shops etc. also have a butterfly for quick shops etc.

I have bugaboo fox cub for day to day - we walk everywhere, go to the supermarket with it. Big basket and sturdy suspension. Until you have the baby, you don't realise what a pain it is to get baby and all your stuff into the car, so you actively start avoid driving when you could just walk somewhere (or go on public transport). Big pram is good for a big day out with lots of walking, and lots of stuff. Also you will walk a lot anyway to get baby to sleep when they're young, so you need one that's good for pounding the pavement for hours. Then I have Joolz Aer Plus as my light travel pram - for folding up small in the car, going to little cafes with not much room and when we travel. I only got the travel pram when baby was about 8+ months plus.

I work in baby gear and IMO Bugaboo is a far superior product. Uppababy has better marketing, so more people have it and more people review it, but a lot of its so-called perks are standard to most strollers or not necessary. For your lifestyle, I think the Bugaboo Fox would be perfect. You can get on Marketplace for a good price, and the older models (OG and Fox2) are still excellent. Good resale value when you’re done. They last much longer than uppababy, it will be in great condition still when you’re done with it. The Fox is great for dog walking. The wheels and suspension are much better than the Cruz. It’s not bulky but you’ll be able to get through gravel with it. The most important thing is the car seat and you bought the very best one on the market, congrats! So everything else is downhill from here 😘

Weirdly there was a fox2 and 5, but no 4 lol. IMO, there’s very little difference between them, so just get what fits your budget. From chat, to point out the actual differences (since I couldn’t even remember): Fox 5 (Current): Offers the easiest one-hand fold, a 1 cm higher seat position than the 3, improved, more premium fabrics, and an extendable sun canopy and footrest, allowing the seat to grow by an extra 4 inches. Fox 3: Features an advanced breezy mattress and high-performance seat fabrics, offering incredible comfort. It shares the same, slightly more complex, two-hand fold mechanism as the Fox 2. Fox 2: A highly sturdy previous version known for excellent suspension, though it lacks the advanced one-hand fold and extended seat features of the 5. Fox Cub: A streamlined version of the Fox, focused on essential features, offering all-terrain capability at a lower price point compared to the main Fox line. Key Differences Summary: Fold: Fox 5 uses a one-hand fold, while Fox 3 and 2 require two hands. Storage: The Fox 5 has a slightly larger underseat basket than the Fox 3. Adjustability: The Fox 5 features an extendable footrest and sun canopy that previous models lack. Warranty: The Fox 5 often comes with a 4-year guarantee. Hope that helps!

I did a full deepdive into prams before buying and found that uppababy and bugaboo are highly rated for a reason, they are very sturdy and soo easy to push. Which is very important as baby gets bigger. I have a fox 3 and I got a second hand fox 2 for my in laws for when they look after my baby, I needed an all terrain pram as my streets don’t have footpaths. We took baby on a holiday at 5m old so got the uppababy minu v2 and it was just okay, my child is very strong and stable (was able to crawl at the time) and also 80th percentile but was sliding around in it. We ended up getting a bugaboo butterfly which I have been so much happier with. The seat back is muchhhh taller than the minu-which my 5m old was touching the top of. Based on my experience I’d recommend getting a bugaboo, either on sale or secondhand bc they are 100% worth it and last. The stroller guy on YouTube has great videos about the international brands!
