Do i need a bee?

[nicolamumof3]

expecting DC4 in the summer. Have always shunned the bugaboo as overpriced and very popular here.

However am looking for a compact rf that is light one piece fold for when baby grows out of carrycot of micralite.

I could use micralite i know but feel it is too exposed doesn't lie flat enough etc and want the luxury of rf for my last baby.

Yes you do Nic

how are you?

When is your baby due?

Tis me, geek!

For years I was of the opinion that everyone who had a bugaboo only had one as a kind of status symbol so never even entertained them. Then I tried one!! I now have many cams and bee+s. As much as I hated to admit it they are far and away more superior so yes I would say Im afraid so :)

im only 16weeks norma so a way to go yet!! But thinking on already..you know how it is.

Thanks for feedback, think i best get saving then shattered!

Congratulations x

Shatteredmumof5 - I too shunned the Bugaboo as being over priced - and just popular as a fashionable status symbol....

Then I tried one - I got the bee+ - it's fantastic - I now have a cameleon also - as I find it nicer to have the larger rear wheels and I like the way the seat unit "cradles" the baby - and provides foot rest also when reclined.

I was going to sell the bee+ - but I can't! I might need it for a bus trip or days out in the city - it folds in one piece and I can fit loads in the basket beneath and also have the option of ds facing me.

So, it's now "bye bye beloved baby joggers" - hello Bugaboos! I also love that you can change the look of the cameleon with different fabrics - and the bee with different hoods.

I think the rear facing and one piece fold are excellent on the bee - as is the suspension - feels like you're pushing a little boat along in the water - it's nice for you to push too.

I think if you do get one you wouldn't regret it. They are a bit pricey - hopefully you can find a discount code for Mothercare (JLK for 10% off spend over £120) or something. Mine had 20% off (as they had 10% off ALL the prams at that time - and another 10% off with a code - so total 20% off) - which helped enormously.

PS Congratulations on your pregnancy! x

i shunned expensive pushchairs until my old faithful cheapy one fell apart after ds2. got a bee. love it. wish i'd got it before.
