Probably a ridiculous question but....

Sorry if there is already a thread here with the answer glaringly obvious, but I'm in a big old hurry and frantically packing for Xmas hols tmrw.

We have a Bugaboo Bee 2009 model with the corresponding Maxi Cosi seat. Baby is 3 months old. As we are going somewhere family will lend us a bigger pram, we were just going to go to the airport with the maxi cosi on the bugaboo chassis, but WITHOUT the bugaboo seat and cocoon etc. I'm sure this is how it's supposed to be (otherwise why would people bother with a car seat fitting a stroller chassis) but the instruction booklet for the bee shows the car seat fitted over the existing seat. Are you not meant to put the car seat (fitted with the correct adaptors) on the chassis with nothing else?

Forgive me if this is a stupid question but I am functioning on 4 hours of crappy sleep, pain in the arse family members who have invaded our house and already broken the bathroom once and caused a trip to A&E claiming swine flu when it's just a bad cold. With the usual Xmas crap added in for good measure.

Merry Christmas and goodwill to whoever answers this seriously. Ta!

hi don't have a bee but just found this,

www.bugaboo.com/learn/bugaboo-bee?p_p_id=TabbedPortlet&p_p_lifecycle=0&p_p_state=normal&p_p_mode=view&p_p_col_id=column-1&p_p_col_pos=1&p_p_col_count=3&_TabbedPortlet_struts_action=%2Fext%2Ftabs%2Fview&tabs1=tabfeatures

at the bottom it says that it can be used with or without the seat unit in place.

here are the user guides which might help.

enjoy your holidays!!

You are supposed to be able to fit it on with seat unit still in place but I never managed it. Cursed it a few times and ended up removing seat. That was with thin winged Bee as well.
I do know people who have been successful though so worth a try before you go!
