Haven't used one, but the Bee looks tiny - can't see it lasting that long unless you have a tiny LO.

Used to have a Bugaboo Frog and even that wasn't big enough for DD once she hit about 1.5yrs.

I have a Zapp to leave in the car boot. It's fine! Doesn't recline obviously but DS will sleep in it very comfortably if tired. He's 3 in March, huge (!) and still fits easily.

I have a bee, love it but it is small. My DD is 13 months and quite small for her age and she's already getting a bit wide for it. Very light though and compact, easy to put up/ down with one hand. But probably wouldn't get much use out of it for a one year old.

I went against all the reviews and bought a bee for my DD when we went on holiday when she was two - I love it love it love it - she is now 2.4 years and we have no problems at all (she is prob average size or slightly smaller but my friend has DD same age who is big for size and also loves hers) - it reclines really easily and pops up and down in a second - I fly by myself with her and can pretty much operate it one handed. Also really light and easy to push even if also pulling a case so fab for holidays. Great for toddlers who like to walk as you can hand onto them and also push the buggy if they are hopping in and out on long walks. The resale value for bugaboos is quite good too so can kind of justify the cost??!! x sorry just realised i have rambled on for quite a while but i do really love it and thing the bees do get slated a bit unfairly in reviews sometimes.
