Bugaboo's mindset

The Dutch company is based in Amsterdam and has many other branches around the world. Bugaboo was founded in 1999 by the designer Max Barenbrug and the doctor Eduard Zanen. The aim of this quality stroller manufacturer is to inspire parents who care about mobility with innovative developments and to make everyday life easier. This creates technically versatile and visually appealing products that invite you to explore the world with your children. The products are constantly being developed and improved, so the manufacturer guarantees great quality and functionality that goes beyond simply pushing the car. Choosing a stroller is an important one. For Bugaboo, the car must be perfectly integrated into everyday life, be easy to use and be made of visually appealing, high-quality and durable materials. There is no question that being a parent is not always easy. Bugaboo nonetheless has set itself the task of reaching you as parents and being a support for every day and makes strollers for the well-being of children from birth to 3-4 years, which also contribute to the well-being of parents with functionality and design.

Bugaboo stroller collections

The Core collection enables you to put together your Bugaboo stroller to suit your taste, without sacrificing outstanding driving properties or comfort. There are several options for how you can design your car. For example, with “Styled by you” you can configure the entire car as you wish. You select the color of the frame, style set and sunroof individually. This creates a unique stroller, exactly according to your ideas. Bugaboo has also made complete sets available for you. With the appealing complete sets “Styled by Bugaboo” from the Core Collection you save yourself the way of individual configuration. If you decide on the configuration path or an additional sunroof, you can choose from the bright colors of the new sun canopies. The Mineral and Classic collections that have already been put together are particularly impressive due to their particularly simple and elegant selection of fabrics and finer details such as decorative stitching and other additional design elements. When choosing the complete set or the configuration of your Bugaboo stroller, pay particular attention to small subtleties and details, which can differ from collection to collection.

Differences between the stroller models

When the birth of the first child is imminent and you start looking for a suitable stroller, many new terms and questions arise. What exactly is a combination stroller? What is the difference to a sports car? Is a buggy and a sports car the same? Isn't a buggy enough as a stroller? Do sibling or twin carriages also have a tub or just a double seat unit? Many questions and different definitions can be confusing. What is a “buggy” for some can be a “sports cart” for others, because the naming of small, handy, light, compact and only child-friendly strollers can be very different in colloquial language. And for others, a "sports car" such as the former Bugaboo Runner, a large stroller that has only one seat unit, but is so stable that you can go jogging or doing sports with it. We now want to explain the differences using the Bugaboo models.

Combined strollers and pushchairs

A Combi stroller is a pram that can be used from birth to around the age of three. A combination stroller is a set consisting of the stroller frame, the carrycot and the sports seat unit. An example of a pram is the Bugaboo Fox 3, the Lynx, the Donkey 5 or the Cameleon 3 Plus. These have the advantage that they can be used for a long time due to the combination of tub and seat unit and that they are small and light. Whereby the Cameleon is more of the small, agile city runabout and the Fox the all-rounder for city and for off-road and the Lynx in its functions can be located somewhere in between. Compared to these prams, a pushchair does not have a carrycot. It only comes with a seat unit and can therefore not be used from birth. For example the Bugaboo Bee6. Some strollers have the option of being able to use a reclining unit from birth, but normally a stroller can only be used from about the sixth month onwards (some manufacturers recommend using it only from the first year of life, when the child can really sit independently can). A sports car can also be used up to around the age of three. Bugaboo does not have a pure sports car in its range, as they have a carrycot option for all models, but as soon as you have installed the seat unit of the Fox 3, Lynx, Donkey5 or Cameleon 3 Plus for the seated child, they are also sports cars.

Mono, Duo or Twin combi strollers

A special feature is the Bugaboo Donkey 5. This is available in three versions and can be converted as required. The Mono variant is also a combination stroller and is suitable for a child. This trolley also comes with a frame, carrycot and seat unit and also has a side luggage pocket. In the Duo variant, the Donkey 5 is a sibling stroller. It can therefore be used for two children. The car comes with the frame, a carrycot and two seat units. In the Twin variant, the Donkey 5 is a twin stroller. The frame, two carrycots and two seating units are included in the delivery. In summary, it is clear that the Donkey 5 is always a combination stroller. Just like the Fox 3 or Cameleon 3 Plus, it can be used from birth to around the age of three. The clear advantage of the Bugaboo Donkey is that it can be converted into one of the others, regardless of which variant you purchase it. If, for example, you have decided on the Donkey 5 Mono, you can convert the car into a duo or twin variant by purchasing the appropriate expansion sets if you are expecting a sibling or twins.

Buggy, travel buggy, mini stroller

A buggy is not a multifunctional stroller because there is no carrycot for the first few months after birth. A buggy, such as the Bugaboo Ant or the Butterfly, is a suitable companion for travel and as small luggage. Of course, a buggy cannot provide the same level of comfort for you and your child. Nevertheless, a buggy often makes your everyday life easier because it can be stowed away quickly and easily and does not take up as much space in the car or home as a conventional stroller. Just like a sports car, a buggy can also be used from around the sixth month (again, some manufacturers recommend the first year of life). It is important that the child can sit down before you can put them in a buggy. The useful life of buggies is limited by the child's body weight and is between 18 and 22 kg, depending on the manufacturer. The Ant from Bugaboo is a buggy with a reversible seat and an almost flat adjustable back position and, together with an adapter and the baby seat, a practical travel system for the car. Since the Bee 6 is delivered with a seat unit, it can also be called a buggy. For both the Bee 6 and the Ant, there are options in the form of cots or baby cocoons so that these two strollers can also be used from birth. Bugaboo advertises the Ant as a travel stroller and the Bee 6 as a city stroller.

The most frequently asked questions

When is the best time to choose / buy my stroller?

We recommend that you inform yourself about the pram models as early as possible so that you have enough time to make the right decision for you. The car should be ordered online or from us in the store no later than 2 months before the deadline. So you have enough time and one less thing in mind. And we and the manufacturer have enough time for delivery in the event of unforeseen delays (e.g. delivery bottlenecks at the shipping company or extended production times). In principle, the warranty period starts from collection or dispatch. If you order the car from us in the Kiel store, we will also be happy to set it up for you and explain the individual functions when you pick it up. You can therefore come and collect the finished vehicle from us at your desired date.

Why should I buy a lightweight stroller? And is it not then unstable?

The weight of the stroller is often underestimated. Carry the stroller up or down stairs, load it in and out of the car, or push it fully loaded. A few kilos can quickly become noticeable in everyday life. Especially if you live in the city or want to travel with a stroller. The Bugaboo strollers are real pioneers when it comes to weight. At approx. 10 kg, the Fox 3 is one of the lightest prams in our range and only the Lnyx and Cameleon 3 Plus are just under a kilo lighter. But the Donkey 5 is also relatively light despite its function as a sibling or twin stroller and can be folded up small and compact. We can answer the second question in the negative with a clear conscience. Although the frames from Fox, Lynx, Cameleon and Donkey are real flyweights, their stability and security remain at a high level.

Can I use the stroller off-road?

Absolutely. The Bugaboo strollers are all-rounders. Thanks to the large front wheels and the strong suspension, the trolleys can also be used off-road without hesitation. The PE wheels are also an advantage here, as they prevent you from getting a flat tire from sharp stones. For the city it is advisable not to lock the swivel wheels, so even tight bends can be avoided without any problems. In the field, the wheels can be locked with a handle. This makes the driving experience even more stable. The Fox, Lynx and Donkey models are real all-rounders and can be pushed smoothly even on bumpy terrain and over cobblestones with the front wheels locked. All “large” Bugaboo prams can be brought into a two-wheel mode and pulled behind you when using the seat unit with a view of the person pushing them. So you can even be out and about with the filigree and light Cameleon 3 Plus on the beach or off-road. The “smaller” Bee6 and the Buggy Ant are a small exception to the cross-country mobility, but their strengths lie in their compactness and lightness.

Can I attach a baby seat to the stroller?

Yes! Bugaboo offers various adapters to attach baby carriers from different manufacturers to the stroller frame. Every Bugaboo stroller, whether for one child or for several and whether buggy or pram has its own adapter for the different models. The Bugaboo Turtle Air by Nuna is also a baby seat that fits perfectly with Bugaboo strollers and that turns the stroller into a practical travel system. But not only with an adapter and the baby seat, you can expand the possible uses of the Fox, Donkey and Co strollers, but also with the Bugaboo ride-on board. This has a saddle and can allow a (sibling) child to sit or stand with it.

Which Bugaboo model suits me?

Bugaboo strollers are designed so that they can be perfectly integrated into everyday life. Small and easy to transport and stow away, the trolleys do a lot for you as parents. If you are only expecting one child, the Fox 3, Lynx or Cameleon 3 Plus pram is an excellent choice for you. If you are expecting twins or if you plan to have more children in the near future, the Donkey 5 is the right car for you. Are you looking for a buggy or stroller for travel or quick shopping, the Bee 6 or Ant is a real asset.

In addition to the family situation, the walking habits and the walking distance, the size of the car trunk or the parking space at home also play a role. For example, someone who lives on the fourth floor without a lift, is expecting a child and cannot store the stroller at ground level or in the car should not opt ​​for the Donkey 5 Mono, as the Fox 3 or Lynx would be easier to carry up. We are happy to advise you by phone or in our shop in Kiel, where you can also test how the desired model fits in the trunk of the car.

All Bugaboo strollers impress with their particularly light weight and easy handling. They are all-rounders with strengths in town and country.

Our shop in Kiel

In addition to our online shop, we also have a specialty shop in Kiel (at Ostseepark Schwentinental). Despite many detailed descriptions and pictures on our website, we always recommend that you consider an on-site consultation. In addition to competent advice, you also have the opportunity to try out the car, take a test drive and try out folding and other mechanisms yourself. We also offer you to load the stroller into the trunk of your car to see if everything fits and there is still enough space for shopping or other baggage is available.
