The MOST maneuverable stroller ever. Good for tall folks.
By J. Nelson
We have a growing collection of strollers in our garage, as we've continued to either outgrow or grow tired of strollers with unacceptable limitations. So far, we've collected a Graco Car Seat Stroller Frame, a Cosco Umbrella Stroller, an Aprica Presto Stroller, a BOB Ironman Stroller, and this Bugaboo Bee. The Bee blows all the others out of the water when it comes to maneuverability.What seems to make the Bee uniquely maneuverable is the suspension on the rear wheels. Gently pushing the handle to one side, even single-handed, compresses the suspension on that side's rear wheel, and causes the front wheels to turn the opposite direction (like leaning a bicycle). The upshot is, you can wheel a load of luggage in one hand, and nimbly steer this stroller through a crowded airport with the other hand, and never bump a single cranky old person. A+ for maneuverability.Another perk is the height to which the handle can be adjusted - many strollers are uncomfortable for me, on account of my height (6'2"), but the handle on this stroller telescopes up like a suitcase handle to a comfortably high level for me to use. It's so high, and sticks backwards at such an angle, that I can push the stroller through the zoo all day without ever catching my toes against the rear wheels or the under-seat basket. A+ again for height adjustment.My third and final favorite thing about this stroller is the lie-flat seat. It doesn't go quite flat like a mattress, but goes flat enough that your baby can sleep comfortably in the stroller, longer than if she was propped up in a seated position. The seat angle can only be adjusted when the rear brake is on, FYI. That's not readily apparent unless you read the manual, and was an early cause of frustration.One drawback - I find the stroller hard to unfold. It collapses easily, but unfolding it requires holding the handle and pushing with your foot against the brake quite firmly. Unfortunately, the brake pedal surface is tipped when in the locked position, and my foot slips easily off while trying to push on it. Be aware that you can accidentally flip your toenail back if you try this with flip-flops.While I haven't tried any of them myself, the available accessories for this stroller (cup holder, organizer) are not well reviewed, so FYI and caveat emptor and all that.Despite these drawbacks, I still rate this a 5-star A+ stroller, just because it's such a treat to easily steer and walk behind it without hunching or kicking my feet into it.

By E. Smith
This stroller is the best! We bought it after buying, and using, our City GT for a few months. Here are the reasons why we love it (in no particular order):1) My son (4 months) falls asleep in it every time! When he is awake, he looks very relaxed and at peace in it. it's a different vibe than the City GT (of course we used the bassinet when he was born).2) The Chicco carseat adaptor works perfectly! The carseat snaps in and goes just like we were throwing the carseat in the car base.3) You can hang diaper bags and grocery bags from the handles! A feature you could not in the City GT.4) Handles great over uneven sidewalks and up hills in San Francisco. I often walk 3+ miles with the Bee. I didn't think I was going to be comfortable walking that far without a bigger stroller, but the Bee is lightweight and easier to maneuver than the City GT.5) The Bee is lightweight! I frequently carry my son in the stroller up and down or stairs (our HOA has a no stroller parking policy in the lobby).6) I feel comfortable maneuvering my son through crowds in the stroller. The stroller doesn't hog the sidewalk, but protects him.7) The Bee is very compact when folded. My only complaint is folding it and unfolding it. It takes a little getting use to. The selling feature for the City GT was the one handed closure. However, you're really not unfolding and collapsing your stroller as much as you walk with it.8) The recline on the seat is almost 180 degrees! We've changed diapers while my son was in the stroller. I was able to avoid public changing stations (ewww)!I should have listened to my friends in NYC and London that recommended the Bee to me. I didn't want to my stroller to be a status item (like a LV handbag). However, now that I've used the Bee, I would buy it again and I would pay twice the price too!Update 2/13: A month after purchasing my Bee Plus, the wheels started to shimmy. It's a common problem. It may not sound like much, but it's like driving your car with the parking break on. I filled out a request for the wave washers on Bugaboo's website, but my request was lost. I called Bugaboo, 1-310-372-2976, and they're sending replacement washers (replacements take 7-10 business days). I will update the review after I install the washers and use the stroller. My stroller hasn't worked for the past three weeks, but I still prefer my Bee over my City GT.Update 2/13: I received our wavy washers today. They work! Hooray! I'm back in business and feel free! We have the limited edition neon model. I talked to a friend that has the regular Bugaboo Bee Plus; she has not has not had the shimmy problem. Coincidence? I don't know. However, I'm not sure if I would buy the limited edition or black again because every scratch shows on the frame. If the frame was silver, maybe the scratches would not show.

When I was pregnant with my first child, I exhaustively researched several strollers ranging between $200-$700. I was willing to invest in a top notch stroller since it would be my primary means of transporting my baby since I lived in the city. I narrowed my choices down to the Britax B Agile, Bugaboo Bee and the Uppababy Vista Cruz. To test them out, I went to my local Buy Buy Baby and the sales people there were really pushing the Bugaboo Bee which immediately raised my suspicions as I thought there was some sort of catch. However, after pushing it around and comparing how much lighter and maneuverable it felt against the other brands, I was sold. I added the Bugaboo Bee to my Amazon.com baby registry and fortunately received it as gift. My daughter is now 6 months old and I can say without a doubt that this stroller is worth every penny. It's so compact and light that I'm able to push with ease over even the bumpiest sidewalk, manuever through pedestrians and even fit through the narrow, crowded aisles of NYC grocery stores. I'm not the strongest person (5' 3" 120 lbs) but because of its light weight, I can fold, lift and stuff the frame without any problem into the back of taxis. The underneath basket is pretty generous and sturdy. I've carried 20 lbs bags of dog food in it with no problems.For the first 4 months, I did use the stroller frame with my Maxi Cosi Mico car seat like a travel system and I have to point out that it took a little while to get the hang of snapping the car seat into Bugaboo-Maxi Cosi adapters. You have to pull on the sides where the car seat fits into the adapters in order to make sure that the buttons pop out and it really snaps in. At first I thought the adapters or the car seat was defective because it wasn't locking in place but when I took it to the store, the manager explained that all of the Maxi Cosi adapters for the Bugaboo Bee were like that.Outside of that one annoyance, I can say without a doubt that this stroller is definitely a must for any city parent.
