Bugaboo Cameleon pram for newborn?

[taratatata]

Looking for a sturdy pram, less bothered about travel system.

Because the Cam is discontinued I can pick it up (includes carrycot and rear and parent facing seat) in Costco for £300 brand new. Is this a good deal? I’ve seen mixed reviews with some people saying they hate the tiny wheels. It would be used for a mixture of shopping and rural walks.

Thank You!

We love our bugaboo but not sure it can cope with rural walks - aren’t they designed to be urban prams?

Don’t you put the seat or carrycot on the other way round for rougher surfaces? So the bug wheels go first (the handle swivels over the top)

I paid £250 for a second hand one about 12 years ago so I'd say £300 is a bargin new!
I liked my Bug Cam. I used it for both my kids, about 6 years in total back to back. I liked that you could switch the handle to be parent facing/facing out depending on age/stage. Great on slightly rougher ground as well as pavements.
Loved it!

I had one and found it great. If I went on a beach or somewhere muddy, I would simply tilt it back onto its back wheels and pull it along easily on those. It was really nice that I could tilt the seat back into full sleeping position too. It was just a fantastic pram/pushchair system.

We took ours on the beach many times. It was also good for going up and down steps, as I just turned it around and it rolled gently down on the back wheels. I would absolutely buy one for £300. Mine cost about £1000 new with all the various bits and pieces. It was also fairly lightweight. The only downside was it had a very specific way of folding flat. It was fine once you learned how to do it, but it had to be done in a specific order. I didn't practice ahead of time and got caught out once when I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get it back in the car.

Thanks guys these are really helpful replies :)

i had one and loved it for three of my children. It fell apart after 3 and I was so sad. Not truly off-road because leaves and debris get stuck in the small wheels, even when you have the big wheels going first. But good for most surfaces that are path-like. £300 a bargain!

There are some good deals from their website.

We had one. It was excellent. Went round town, country walks, beaches everywhere. Totally worth it

I love mine, still use it when DD is tired after a long week in preschool. It is true that leaves do get stuck in the wheels but i have found it fine on country walks (but we use footpaths mostly so havent used it in muddy bog paths)

It's been a real workhorse. I suspect the fox is better but £300 is over 50% less than i paid 6 years ago.

I love that you can change thr colours, thr basket with drawstring has been brilliant for not losing stuff. Good on the beach, tight turn circle, comfy. It really has been ideal for me

I will be so sad to get rid of it which will be soon :(
