Bee+ vs M&P's Urbo

[Johe]

I've narrowed my search for a travel system down to the Bugaboo Bee + or the M&P's Urbo.

Have seen lots of good feedback on the Bee but less on the Urbo as it's a bit newer I think.

Am looking for light, city friendly system. Both look good. The Bee+ doesn't go completely flat whereas the Urbo comes with optional carrycot.

The Maxicosy car seat compatible with the Bee+ comes with Isofix which seems better than the Urbo option which you secure wtih a seat belt.

Copmletely stuck. Any recommendations?
Thanks all.

I've seen the Urbo in the M&P shop and I have a bee. The bee is lighter and pushes better (even without any children in!) The Urbo was wider and a bit clunky IMO, I could just tell that it wouldn't be a one-handed push with a 2yo in it.

The Urbo is gorgeous and the seat looks so very, very comfortable. However, I was taken in once by M&P before and won't be again--beautiful pushchairs but not that versatile.

I would go for the bee, it's a really good all-rounder.

I too would go for the bee or bee+. Have had both and are both great. I too would NEVER have a m&P. The aftersales service was non existant when I purchased a faulty joolz which was never used! Have never pushed a M&P that Ive actually liked!! Hope that helps a little :)

I have had both and the urbo is not a patch on bee+. Nice to look at but it does not fold in one piece rear facing only forward, rubbish on anything other than shopping centres as no suspenion. Nice seat, nice carrycot, nice buggy butno diff to any other two piece fold. Bee+ is stunning, get it!! M and P aftercare is really shocking, both from personal experience and from what I have heard from many others!!

Thanks ladies. Really helpful. I'm sold!

Someone I know (on a forum) bought a Quinny Dreami carrycot and attached it to the Bee using the maxi-cosi carseat adapters (as they're the same fitting) and it worked at treat. I don't know now whether it was a bee or bee plus, but it looked lovely.

If you really want a carrycot, maybe it's worth a try! If you buy from an online store or somewhere with a refund policy you can always return the dreami if it doesn't work!

(Oh, and I have the bee plus and is definitely the best pram ever :) )
