Bugaboo bee plus vs graco evo

[MrsGiraffe12]

So, mothercare returned my faulty graco evo and with the money I've bought a preloved Bugabo bee plus (viewed it before hand etc).

Owners of the bee plus - what's it like every day? I got the impression its going to be much better than the evo in lots of ways

Be honest too :-) will i regret trading them up x

I loved my bee plus! It was light to push and dd was really comfy in it. My friend currently has the evo xt and its very big n bulky and wheels are quite rattly, so the bee is tons better! X

Great, thanks ??

I looked at the Bee plus but went for ICandy Raspberry in the end because it stands on its own when it's folded and their version of the cocoon is much nicer - cheaper too!!

I have no experience of the Graco but I absolutely love our Bee +. We don't use it much these days but whenever I do dig it out I think "ahh, lovely!".

It's light and easy to push. It folds really easily and the basket underneath is huge (although less accessible when in parent-facing mode). The extending seat back is nice, as is the extendable handlebar (DH and are tall and leggy so need it fully extended for walking, but you can easily push it down to "shrink" the pushchair in tight spaces like a bus or lift).

My only complaints would be the crap, unwieldy, leaky raincover (I bought the £10 universal cover from JoJo to replace it) and that it doesn't do well "off road". But then Bugaboo clearly market it as an "urban" pushchair and we bought it to use in London.
