Please help.

Ordering my Cam3 at the end of the week, and still cannot choose between

Black or Aluminium Frame.

Petrol Blue or Off White Fabric.

and what combination of the above??

Anyone have any experience of the black frame scratching at all?

And while we're at it.. Cabriofix or Pearl? I have the adapters and family fix base so either would fit...

We have a black frame cam3 and so far no scratches and it goes in and out of the boot a lot! We also have a black framed donkey and that does have a tiny scratch from OH dropping something on it, the black scratches off to reveal silver but luckily its tiny. Other than that no scratches which I think is quite impressive considering I have to take it from mono to duo and back again every time we use it (4 times a week for nursery run).

I have Missoni fabrics on the Cam3 at the moment but I bought it with petrol fabrics and they're really lovely, the stock photos don't really do them justice. They look great on the black frame.

We had a cabriofix with dc1 and have a pebble with dc2. I prefer the pebble. Nothing major I just think it seems roomier and baby looks a bit more comfortable.

thank you so much for replying, I do appreciate it! I did think there were more 'pros' to the pebble, also had a cabrio with DS1 and still have the footmuff... will this still fit do you think? x

Get the pebble if you might fly and pay for baby own seat, they are the only maxi cosi certified for flying.

We had black frame, black fabric which I loved. I would like the black frame, white fabric from your choice ( but will show dirt more)

I've never had a bugaboo but a friend of mine has and she got custom fabrics for it from a website called Snunkie. If you're struggling between a couple of colours it might be worth a look just to confuse you more! She had 2 sets made, one for summer and one for winter - I think they were a sort of thick cord fabric with a contrasting lining. They were very nice anyway. I don't think it costs any more than the standard Bugaboo fabric sets although this was a couple of years ago so may have changed since then. The choice of fabrics would give you a headache (sorry)!

I've just got the cam 3 silver chassis and red fabrics I love it :-)
My friend had the black chassis and said she wouldn't recommend it as it scratched really easily and they were quite visible x

Chose cabriofix because the pebble did seem considerably heavier
