Pros: Versatile and lightweight Cons: Two part fold and the price
At first glance, I knew nothing about this stroller, but I knew from the looks of it, I would not want to own it. . .I thought it was terribly ugly. . . boy was I wrong!I convinced my husband that we should try it out because it was so versatile. We ...
Pros: Amazingly comfortable, incredibly durable and makes city strolling a breeze. Turning radius is incredible. Cons: Accessories are expensive; still need a cheaper stroller for airports.
I researched strollers for a long time knowing that it would be the main mode of transport for my child. We live in the city and rarely use a car, so the stroller had to be comfortable and durable. (I personally think it is the only way to go if you ...
Pros: Most versatile stroller in existence Cons: Non... Well, it's a lot of $$$ but it's well worth it
When we were deciding what stroller to buy for our son, we knew that we wanted something that we can use since birth; something where he could sleep in a fully reclined position; and something that would accommodate our son's needs as he grows. Also, we ...
Pros: Clean design, compact chassis , amazing smooth ride and spins 360 degrees on a dime. Cons: Terrible storage. No cup/snack holders. Two-piece collapse inconvenient. Severely angled seat.
My husband wanted the Bugaboo, we already owned 4 other strollers so I wasn't game except she was getting heavy to push around with ease with a full stroller of gear on day outing. I was finally convinced once I pushed my toddler around the store ...
Pros:Comfortable foam handle, Converts into jog stroller, bassinet / pram, forward or rear facing) Cons: Cost, Thoroughly read the directions and practice before you take the stroller out
I wrestled for weeks about whether to spend the enormous amount of money for this stroller. I went to three different stores, shopped online and read everything that I could find about the company. My son outgrew his carseat (at 7 months) and we hate ...
Pros: SO MANY PROS! Light, very comfortable, versatile, incredibly well made, nothing overlooked on this design. Cons: Seat has to be taken off to fold down.
This stroller is a great investment. I wanted an every day stroller that was very comfortable for my baby and me, and a stroller that I could do power walking with. This stroller is both, plus more. The bugaboo is the most versatile stroller that I have ...
Pros: Turns on a dime, classic pram styling, high enough handle for tall father. Cons: Useless sack that hangs underneath, doesn't hold much.
Get over the sticker shock. We've found our Bugaboo Frog to be worth every penny! It turns on a dime, is a smooth and comfortable ride, the bassinet doubles as a sleep-over bed when travelling with our new baby, and it is stylish. Even my mother, who ...
Pros: Includes a carry cot for newborns Cons: really nothing, if you can afford it!!!
The Bugaboo stroller is a fantastic design!! It looks much more stylish and less bulky than all those other plastic strollers. What I also like about it is that the infant carry cot is included. Studies in Europe suggest that newborn should sleep in ...
Pros: Durable, maneuverable, huge wheels, pram, adjustable, convertible Cons: Expensive, color too dark - gets hot in summer, no cupholder.
Bugaboo Frog is the same as Chameleon, but the price is a little lower. My husband and I first wanted to go with the Chameleon because we liked the colors much better, but decided to save up some money and live with the blue Bugaboo Frog. It was a wise ...
Pros: booster seat function, bassient, easy to use, light-weight. Cons: High price isn't a con, once you use it you'll see it's worth it.
After reading every review on the net about the frog and other strollers from maclaren to bertini, and almost all others, we ended up actually getting the frog. My wife was having a hard time with the price, and felt weird for a few days, but now, when ...
Pros: Smooth ride, light weight, easy to push over rough ground. Cons: Difficult to fold up, doesn't block direct sun in baby's face
I bought the Frog for the ride and the weight. I live in the city, in a 3-floor walk up. We have brick/cobblestone sidewalks and the Frog glides right over all the bumps and holes. It is incredibly easy to turn. It is also very versatile, as other ...
Pros: quality, style, user-friendliness and a wealth of options Cons: price, and tires that lose air
First of all, don't buy this stroller if you're not OK with frequent stops to talk with with strangers about it. People love the Bugaboo or hate it, but all new parents seem to have an opinion about it -- an opinion they feel compelled to share. The ...
Pros: Smooth smooth smooth ride; sturdy; versatile; light Cons: pricey; folds in two parts; expensive accessories
I live in NYC, and finally decided to buy my Bugaboo Frog after months of research over the web, magazines, forums, asking friends, etc. The bottom line? Expensive, yes, but you are strolling on an air pillow, no matter what terrain, the Bugaboo is ...
Pros: Bassinet doubles as a bed for newborns. Drives like a dream. Looks super cool. Cons: Lacking cupholder. Lacking storage. Lacking sun protection. No solution for baby between bassinet/seat.
No one wanted to like the Frog more than me! I'm a designer and was sucked into the awesome design and my husband promised me any stroller that I wanted. So I didn't have to worry about price. I read every review I could and the negatives seemed to ...
Pros: Versatile & maneuverable. Extremely well made. For city dwellers, it will be worth every $$. Cons: Expensive; somewhat heavy; folding/unfolding makes it impractical for suburban living; sun shade could be bigger.
I had seen the Bugaboo Frog in a magazine and on Sex and the City and thought it was just the coolest stroller I'd ever seen. When I discovered I was pregnant with our second child, my husband and I decided that even with the $700 price tag, the Bugaboo ...
Pros: Easy to lift, easy to push and easy to turn. Cons: Not so easy on the wallet.
I just love our bugaboo. A month ago I moved to a suburb of Helsinki Finland from Tempe Arizona. I knew my wife and I needed something rugged and reliable. I extensively researched all the available strollers and settled on the bugaboo. Yes, I was ...
This stroller seemed pricey at first. Then we did the math - we'd require at least 3 different strollers: a travel or "umbrella" stroller, an everyday stroller that would work from newborn to 40lbs., and a stroller fit for speed walking, hilly terrain, ...
Pros: Ease of use, versatility, multi-tilt seat, comfort, cool appearance. Cons: They don't make a double. I'm continually stopped by strangers to chat about it ;)
I can't praise the Bugaboo enough. Walking around NYC every day I see dozens of other parents bumping over the uneven streets and sidewalks - my little guy never feels a thing thanks to the incredible suspension and shock absorption of this stroller. I ...
Pros: one hand steering , Cons: large and clumsy,akward 2 piece fold,not very stable,tipsy hard to fit inside small car
So So stroller but not worth the hype and price.. I bought it after reading hip reviews and also liked the trendy style.But after I got it i was not very happy......My husband was afraid to get it outside of the car because it takes so long to put it ...
Pros: Pros: Beautiful, euro styling, great handling brilliant colors Cons: Cons: Very long takes up too much trunk space, big tires,2 pc fold
I honestly do not understand why people love this stroller this much!I bought it after all the " hype" over it and was sorely disappointed. First of all the stroller is great looking! I love the brilliant colors and also it ...
Pros: looks nice, great colors Cons: fading & mildew resistance of fabric, poor quality stitching, front tires, price, squeaky
I bought this stroller before my son was born. He's now 28 months. It's been used nearly every day for the past 22 months and gets many miles on it per day around town. The straps have broken, the wheels are worn out, it's had two flat tires, and the ...
Pros: big wheels and easy to push Cons: Hard on Mom to lift and manipulate parts. EXPENSIVE!!!!!
The truth should be told about this stroller and here it is: I have had nothing but a frustrating time with it. The first trip out with it I could not figure out to fold and unfold and unattach the parts. Why should this be a mystery? Still I have to ...
Pros: steering is a breeze, reversible seat/handle bar, fairly lightweight and beautiful Cons: price, folding in two parts
I have been using my Frog since the day my baby was born. The Frog has endured 6 months of daily use and is holding up just fine. It still looks new (except for the wheels). I live in a NYC apartment and I would have to say that folding it in 2 parts really annoyed me. I am pretty lucky because I have a fairly big closet and I store the chassis upright (partially folded) so that solved that problem. I walk practically everywhere and my baby has been very comfortable in the well padded seat. I just wish I could travel with it. I have seen people take it on the train and even on the bus in the city. I don't think it is possible for me to do so. I ended up purchasing another stroller that travels more easily on public transportation.
Pros: Lightweight; EXCELLENT steering properties; SMOOTH over bumps
Cons: A little tricky to open until you are used to it.
After much laborious research, i knew that this was the stroller that i wanted. My husband took a little more convincing due to the $729 price tag. Solution: find a salesperson that is a "techie." Our (male) salesman delighted in showing every "manly" feature to my husband.Always wanting to have the best of the best, he realized that the frog could not be surpassed.
Pros: durable, easy to use, comfortable, great for shopping and outdoors, bassinet very useful Cons: A little heavy, takes up a lot of room in my trunk
I love this stroller! I take this stroller shopping, walking outside, and even in my house. The bassinet is great for sleeping so when I spend the night out I don't have to pack anything, I just bring my stroller in! I also have a big diaper bag that I can hang on the back without the stroller tipping. I was worried about the two part fold but it really helps with the weight of the stroller. This stroller is very durable and it looks great!
After Six Months Love it Even More! by qcrew ,Mar 29 '05
Pros: Sturdy, versatile. Cons: Can't think of one!
When my wife told me that she wanted the Bugaboo, I said sure. THEN I saw what it cost! I didn't care if Gweneth Paltrow had one or not. But I had to admit it did appear to be the sturdiest and versatile stroller-finally we got it.
During our son's first two weeks he lived in it-the in-laws stayed with us and the bugaboo bassinet was perfect. I does as well in a mall as it does strolling through the Wisconsin countryside (IN WINTER!)
Now after six months we love it even more! The seat folds flat. I really don't know why folks knock the assembly/disassembly two second click-snap!
Pros: 2 wheel position, manouverbility, comfort (for child), safety, seat angles, the list is endless Cons: none
I love my Bugaboo Frog. My close friend recommended the Bugaboo and everything she promised me has come true! Its easy to manouver, its 2 wheel position is great when we go skiing, its easy to fold and it looks fantastic! We constantly get asked what brand it is and we have found it has been well worth every penny spent on it.
It took forever for me to bite the bullet and spend to money but I am so glad that I did. When Coop first came home he would sleep in the pram and we would be able to move him from room to room in it so he was near us. I also got him the car seat adapter so we are able to use it as a snap and go when we would go shopping. It is easy to break down once you get the hang of it. It is also light. Coop is very comfortable in it now that it is a stroller. It has been a great purchase that I have not regretted at all. I suggest going for it if you are thinking about it, you won't look back.
What are they thinking??? by mommachicago ,Jul 31 '05
Pros: Looks good Cons: Can't get down the streets in my neighborhood
I live in Chicago. I bought a Bugaboo - I hated it! Am I the only person who pushes their stroller over curbs? Cracked sidewalks? Potholes? Unpaved parks? What's with the small front wheels? What a disaster!!! I sold my bugaboo. Bought a Mountain Buggy, the Car Seat Clip, Carry Cot and every type of cover I could find and I have spent much less - and now glide through the streets like a swan. A Big (expensive) BOOO for Bugaboo!
Pros: Drivability
Design & Construction
Flexibility ( car seat, seat, bassinet)
Ride
Cons: Price (but you get what you pay for)
We have had the frog for over 3 months and I find it awesome. Being a tall man my feet don't hit the wheels and I don't have to bend over to grab the bar. Pushing couldn't be easier from the rough sidewalks around here to dirt or just shopping it maneuvers like a dream. We use the Peg Perego infant seat and attaching it is a bit tricky, but not a problem at all once you get used to it (although it does give you some more parts to keep track of). We also use the bassinet, but only for walks around the neighborhood.
The price is steep, but being a designer the design, construction and look of it is so great (we get many "cool stroller" comments) not to mention it is so great to push.
As for a diaper bag - if you have a shoulder bag you can just drape it over the handle bar and away you go, but be careful once you remove the seat as the stroller will tip. Skip Hop makes a nice one that matches the stroller pretty close and does not look like a diaper bag.
the tires on my Bugaboo croaked by bergenpug ,Feb 03 '05
Pros: cool styling, easy to use, easy to load in car Cons: lousy tires, quirky brake lock, under carriage bag is useless
I have been using my Bugaboo Frog stroller for two months now and in that time I have had 5 flat tires and one complete blown tire. At the playground this week, one of the tires actually blew up and it sounded like a gun shot. I don't use it every day, and when I do, it's on sidewalks around Los Angeles. Not exactly off roading. I contacted Babystyle, where I bought it, and they couldn't have been less interested in helping me. So, I called Bugaboo directly, they are local, and they promised to send me out a pair of new tires that day. well it's been ten days and still no tires. I love how the stroller looks, and it is pretty easy to use, but I am very disappointed in the quality of it and the service I have received. Another thing, you have to really push on the brake lever to make sure it's locked. Even if it looks locked, check it because it can still roll. Oh and the under carriage bag stinks. Hmm. Maybe I don't like it as much as I thought...
Pros: Easy to navigate
Easy to fold up
Lightweight
Attractive
Comfortable for you and the baby Cons: None
My husband and I bought this stroller after hearing
about it from a friend, and then checking it out for
ourselves. Yes, it was expensive. We bought a few
of the 'extras', which brought the price up
some more. However, as far as I can tell, it was
a great investment. The stroller is super lightweight,
easy to fold up, can turn on a dime, fits nicely into
our trunk (Passat wagon), looks great, and steers
beautifully. I should note that I have the aubergine
Frog, but the red is great too....!
Pros: Lightweight, easy to use, ages 0-4, GREAT to "drive" Cons: needs a cup holder, expensive stroller and accessories
I absolutely love this stroller. It is so lightweight and easy to use. It can turn on a dime and is easy to navigate through narrow store aisles with one hand! It glides over icy brick and cobblestone sidewalks as well as big roots in the sidewalk and sand. We have had a fantastic experience with this stroller and it is worth every penny. That being said - we live in an environment that allows this stroller to shine. We are in a snowy, walking city and travel to places that we need a rugged stroller.
If you live in the burbs, it is probably not the stroller for you. Although it is easy to use, it is not easy to quickly break down and pop in and out of the car. This is not a complicated process, but probably not one that you would want to do every single time you hop in and out of the car to do errands.
Pros: Very smooth ride
Bassinet perfect for newborns
3 stage recline
Easy to push Cons: hard to fold
No cup holder
No snack tray
straps too big
I am very happy with my Bugaboo overall. It was a lifesaver when travelling as my son slept in the bassinet part when he was a newborn.
However, I am currently looking for a lightweight stroller as trying to cope with the Bugaboo alone in an airport is a nightmare. I actually had to sit my son down on the floor after going through the security check as I had no way of putting the Bugaboo back together while holding him. You really have to have both hands free. Plus its a pain to take to the airplane as you have 2 parts to worry about putting claim tags on, (3 if you are using a infant carrier as you will have the adaptor too) and to me thats double the risk of one of the pieces being misplaced.
I love my Bugaboo for walking around the neighbourhood, but really need something else for travelling.
I am disappointed as I thought for the price I wouldnt have to invest in yet another stroller.
maclaren eat your heart out by abbypec ,Feb 14 '07
Pros: heavy duty, safe, easy to push, attractive, adaptable Cons: NONE!
this stroller rocks! whether wind, snow, sleet or hail - i can trudge through city streets with this amazing stroller. i know people complain about taking it apart and putting it together - but it's so easy once you've done it one time (i do it everyday when i drop off and pick up my daughter at daycare!) it was FOR SURE worth every penny. i've had it for over four years and it's still in great shape!
Pros: Multiple features, Doesn't feel like it will fall apart. Cons: If any---Price
This stroller has a bassinet feature for your newborn and will last up around 15 lbs. It is great for your newborn to lay on there back and not hurt there back. The stroller attachment is awesome as well. It is very easy to use once you get the hang of it. For the reviewer that wrote more like a toad, they probably never watched the Video or Cd Rom included. It takes about 15 seconds to take it the stroller out of your car and assemble it fully for your child. Yes it is a lot of money but if you spend $250-$400 on a Maclaren that feels flimsy you might has well get 3 strollers in one.
Pros: Revolutionary Design, Durable, Safe. Cons: Price. That's it
If you are reading this you probably already know about the Bugaboo Frog. I'll save from explaining the specs, etc. Bugaboo has a fantastic web site. Go check it out. I found it very informative. This stroller is simply the best. Aside from all the Hollywood hype about this stoller it really is great. It's remarkably light in weight. The options you have with this stoller is one of the reasons it's so great. YOU decide how you would like it to operate. Not the other way around. If you can afford it. Rather, if you want to spend the cash, buy one!
