Bugaboo Bee5 or...?

[TeddyIsaHe]

I’m looking for a lightweight buggy that can either parent-face or forward face. I’ve found the Bugaboo bee which fits all criteria, but is there anything else similar out there? Does anyone have any experience with the Bee? Good/bad? Thanks.

I really like my bee but it's an original one so not sure how similar to the bee5. I got it second hand and have used it will all 3 kids so definitely built to last!

Oh that’s pretty much sold it for me then if it’s lasted you so well! Is it easy to manovere and fold?

Definitely easy to manoeuvre. It's really nifty.

It folds pretty easily when forward facing but it's a bit more fiddly on mine when parent facing but they might have changed that in the newer models.

I;m using the strawberry currently, but looking to switch to the lighter Raspberry from icandy, can't see in the shops yet though.

Yeah I’ve got the Strawberry at the minute too! It’s just so heavy now dd is bigger, and it’s terrible for public transport. Will have a look at the raspberry as I do like iCandy

The Jane Minnum looks really cool, I saw it in a local store window the other day too and it's got a huge seat but folds small.

I have the bee 3 which I bought second hand and have no complaints whatsoever. The yo yo is also extremely light weight and good for use in town and is cheaper than a bugaboo.

Love the Bee in urban settings....didn’t find it great in the park or rougher terrain
