If your looking and driving yourself crazy for the BEST stroller please look no more. I own the Bugaoo Cameleon and boy do I love love that stroller my child always took naps while I was shopping in that stroller smooth and comfortable. But couple problems 2 BIG wheels in the back and annoying to take apart and put together. Now I wanted the best of the best for my son so I opt for the biggest stroller I could find (while I was pregnant) it took me 13 months to realize hey my back still hurts and Im not even pregnant! It was the stroller. Having the Cameleon sure looked great but honestly going down the rows at Whole Foods Market or going to a popular breakfast cafe and fitting through the tables was tough. So I decided enough was enough. Now getting the bugaboo cameleon in and out of your trunk you have two pieces that are so annoying the seat and the frame. With the bugaboo bee one push and open :) Sure its lower to the ground and smaller but you know what, its practical. My son is 28lbs at 13 months and tall tall tall and he fits just fine. A little narrow for him in the beginning cause sure he's coming from the cameleon but after awhile he was just fine. The seat positions on the cameleon are exactly the same on the bee. Even the handle bar is the same. Even though the bee is lower you can still adjust the handle bar to your level. Now, the Cameleon seat is wider then the bee, but the Bugaboo bee seat does fall all the way flat when fully reclined which makes napping perfect.
I tried it out today hesitate if he was going to take his afternoon nap and he did!! The bee is very smooth, comfortable and worth every penny... And boy does it turn heads!! It is classy and nice. I pushed the bugaboo bee with one stroller while carrying my 28 pounder now thats impressive.
What it comes down to is this. You want the biggest and the best when you have your newborn and he or she deserves it. But when the months pass your like I love this stroller but how do I put this and so much more in my trunk without looking like it's gonna spill out. And why did I get the heaviest stroller when my diaper bag is just as heavy! And how do I travel with the heaviest stroller! Well look no more you can have the best of both worlds in the Bugaboo bee I promise!!
