To think bugaboo "friends" its taking the whole thing a step to far.

Just had a look at an email they sent me and people have actually created there own profiles and added pics of themselves with there prams???!! It won't let me give a link directly to it but its on the bugaboo.com page. AIBU to think its only a bloody pram.

Mine smells of putrid milk and is covered in food, so I doubt anyone would want to be my friend...

There are more in Sydney than anywhere else in the world I reckon. Probably something to do with the $5000 handout you get when you have a baby. They are all accessorised to the hilt - cup holders, mini gym, nail bar, fridge for the bubbly...

the boden thing is done in a jokey way..me and the dc wear it because i refuse to take them to shops and try on clothes..waste of a sat. for me...dh refuses to wear it after i bought him a half zip jumper and he said he looked like catalogue man!

someone once said that boden was for children who collect tadpoles in jam jars! (whats wrong with that??)

Baffled, no one's having a go. I have already held my hands up to having one i think its fab from a practical point of view i just don't get why you would feel the need to post a pic of yourself with the pram on there website.
My dc's do also wear boden sometimes but i hate the showy off aspect. I do these things because they are practical i don't think i need to make friends with people because we have the same pram.
Maybe you have missed the point of the OP it wasn't to slag of every owner of a bugaboo.

It seems like everyone in Southfields has a bugaboo

lol pram huns they need to get out more

I have a bugaboo and a P&T no boden though is verbaudet or seargant Major similar

Mum bought the Bugaboo for dd3 it was reduced in mothercare less than half price cant remember for sure why but I think it was something to do with newer models with different wheels being bought out and I have had P&T for a while and it was an absolute necessity especially when the girls were younger they are only 14 months apart

one of my friends had a VW beetle and other beetle drivers used to wave at her. do bugaboo owners wave at each other across the street?

Fashion victims!!
Mind you, the Stokke people are worse!! haha

Got to admit restuarants are the main reason I'm buying a pushchair, otherwise I mainly sling. Unfortunately I'm the only one who will use a sling in my family, but I'm the one who has to buy them a pushchair!

I am embarrassed to say we have one too, BUT we didn't buy it, MIL insisted. I do get quite embarrassed pushing it around sometimes, & I've tried to make it as scruffy as possible! Bought a light stroller about a month ago to go on holiday, & feel much more comfortable pushing that around.
It IS great for bumping up/down steps though, and cross country, and great steering & works well with one hand.

Asicsgirl, having just returned from a trip to South London i can confirm its more of a smug smile than a wave.

just had a look at the website, how sad!

A friend lent me hers so I can enjoy with impunity! I only use it as a pram. It's done two babes already so looks worn in a bit. But great design if you never want to put it in the boot.
But you can watch how to dismantle it on utube!

helen -sargeantmajor is quite boden.. not so sure re vertbaudet .

not sure about joining a group re your pram but I found bugaboo quite heavy and was too much of a numpty to figure out how you got it up/down/let alone put your cupholder on so I bow to anyone boden wearing or not - I'm with whoever posted that bought a maclaren xt (I like to accessorise mine with an iceland bag).

Stokkes always look a bit unstable to me.

i like the iceland bag accesorised maclaren!

I fitted in really well to my local buggy fit... it made me feel years younger (as I felt just like I did when I was 14 and picked last for netball so out of place was I amongst the smart mums with their sweaty betty kit/bugaboos )

Sorry they are the best, wouldn't buy anything else and I've had them all but yes it's a bit weird to photograph you and your pram.

That is very very weird. I remember going back to Friends Reunited last year some time and seeing they had a bit on your profile for what car you drive...... seriously. Why do people feel the need to identify with modes of transport?

I have a bugaboo and had the luxury of it being bought for us. I walked everywhere and it was great. I was also lucky enough to live in an area where it was a relatively rarity and no-one had really heard of them, and so I just got people being interested...

Not sure if I'd use it again if it's become such a big deal - wanting to push a pram not make a statement :-)

its weird isn't it how it has become such a statement -more this brand than any other? maybe it just the pram equivalent of taking the piss out of car makes (eg bmw, volvo) .

get over it.only a pram.worse than smug-bug owners are the frowners-just-a-pram-ers.no biggie
