Bugaboos - Do you have one & are they worth the money?

[desperatehousewife]

Tried a friends at the w'end and it is amazingly light and easy to steer and nice high handle....but is it worth the money? What are your experiences with it?

I think it's ugly! sorry!
and apparently it's a real nightmare to fold up

I think it looks really cool - but yes, agree, the folding isn't brilliant!

my sister had one and hated it, def not worth the money

A nanny I know uses one and hates it. And she didn't even have to pay for it.

I know a few Bugaboo users who bought their own, and don't know how they feel about it ... I can't bring it up for fear of accidentally calling it the Mugaboo.

The Mountain Buggy has a reasonably high handle, easy to steer, light, and not so expensive, I think.

I'm sorry I coulnd't push something called the 'mountain buggy' - i don't live near any mountains!! Also it's £550 . Also, don't want a 3 wheeler.

how can it ever be worth the money. its crazy, its like an arms race on the high street with all these freakish prams.

i looooooooooove my new mountain buggy, which is coping very well with the mountainous terrain of hackney . but it wasn't anything like £550, dp, more like £370. so not cheap exactly, but less than a bugaboo. it folds really easily too. and light. oh, & it's orange & stripey. i'll shut up now .

oh, & i was really anti-3-wheelers too...

I have a Mountain Buggy and a McLaren. The McLaren folds up smaller, but is much less sturdy, and much less pleasant to push.

(I don't mind spending money on prams - I don't have a car, and I do walk loads. That being said, these are the only two prams I've had and will ever have, probably.)

I was anti 3 wheelers as well until given an Urban Detour. Heavy to put in boot but very light to push.

surprised not to find any bugaboo fans!

ugly ugly ugly.............. what is happening to buggies these days? They are getting so ugly

The phil and teds is ace for one baby as itlies flat and sways the baby to sleep. Also handy as it can then be a double. So works out economically.

they look really rickety too.

frogspawn.... see my post below! lol

It always looks like the baby is wearing the buggy rather than sitting in it iykwim. When it lies back the babies feet are up higher than their heads too.

Oh, yeah, if you're considering needing a double eventually, the Phil and Teds seems like the best plan.

NQC - this is my second child and LAST! He'll be nearly 4 when the baby is born so no point in going down double route.

I'd love a bugaboo but dd is to big now for one will have to have another baby so i can have one

the bassinet looks like a skip..... which I think is hilarious when I see all the trendy Gosforth mums out and abuot, avec 3/4 length jeans stilleto heels and lip gloss. Bugaboo - the new Burberry [wink

Highlander - is that Gosforth in Newcastle?

I find Bugaboos the fugliest buggy I've seen in my life. They look like glorified airport trolleys.
