Pros: Looks great, super easy to steer, & i love that my baby can be facing me so i can interact with her more
Cons: Not worth $$ at all - see my description for why!!
Overall: This pram/stroller is very easy to steer one handed (even whilst walking 2 naughty dogs at the same time), looks nice and the fact that it can be rear facing or forward facing is great. However it's an absolute pain to disassemble to put in the car - really fiddley, & takes up a lot of room in the boot because it's in 2 parts. Storage basket underneath is pretty useless, & not accessible when bassinette is assembled. In fact when folding up the frame, the basket empties upside down, so you have to pull everything out first. You can't swap & change between bassinette & stroller either, because they share common parts. Sun canopy isn't very big. I also don't like how when in fully reclined stroller position, the baby's legs are still up in the air - I'd prefer a flat reclining stroller (more comfortable for sleeping, plus easier to change nappies within the pram). Also everything gets stuck in the wheels - lots of possum poo around our area!
To be honest it's just not worth the $$ (I've bought a cheap stroller on sale at Target that I like just as much - It's going to live in my car so i don't have to bother with he bugaboo. It prob won't last as long, but I could buy 15 of them for the price of a new bugaboo!!).

Pros: Easy to maneuver, lightweight, stylish, practical.
Cons: Extremely expensive when bought brand new
Overall: This is the original bugaboo pram (and the best). After seeing so many celebs with this type of pram, i desperately wanted to try it myself. However, never had the money. Luckily I was able to grab a bargain on ebay for $180 in perfect condition. Extremely lucky. Where do i start........so lightweight, easier to maneuver, I can use it one handed, while holding onto my other 2 kids. Unfortunately I bought this with my third child. Would have been better with only 1 child. However, they have a skateboard attachment for toddler which I really want to try. A must have to make your life easier!!!

Pros: Loved the basinette and stroller options
Cons: The base was very temperamental to put up and down. When I am to get it up, I have to ensure that I have removed all attachments (including the Bugaboo organiser) as any weight sees it topling over. Also, the under basket turns upside down when you put the frame up which means that everything falls out if you havent secured the bag tightly. If you do secure the bag tightly, you have no way of accessing it once the basinette is attached.Also, very low to the ground when compared to other brands - shocking for a bad back!
Overall: I inherited the Frog while deliberating whether to buy a Mountin Buggy or a Steelcraft. While it's great to have had the pram (- which I found my 11 week old baby trying to Houdini over the side of) and the stroller attachments, I find the base incredibly difficult to use.
A friend who also had the Frog loved it. When I asked her how she coped with the frame, she stated that it was way too hard to use so she only ever used the stroller in and around her home as she found it way too hard to put up and take down.

Pros: Great steering, baby can face you, lot's of accesories available, great off road, seems comfortable, not too wide,fabric can be removed and machine washed, feels sturdy, looks good.
Cons: 2 Part fold, bumper bar gets very dirty & hard to clean.
Overall: I bought my Frog 2nd hand after selling my Mountain Buggy as my son did not like facing outwards when younger and love it. Unlike the Mountain Buggy it easily fits through normal checkout isles in shops. I love that my son can face me when going a long walk so I can chat to him.
The shopping basket isn't huge but then not many are, I have hooks on the handlebar so I can hang shopping from there too.
The hood gives reasonable coverage and the parasol is great as my son can still see while being shaded from the sun.
Despite my Frog being 2nd hand I've had no problems with squeaky wheels yet.
The 2 part fold is a bit of a pain and it's too big to take on public transport so I have a stroller too but worth it for long walks.
I guess my only complaint would be that the bumper bar is made of foam and gets grubby easily, a cover for it would be a great idea.
Overall I LOVE my Frog and so glad I bought it.

Pros: Semi reclining position perfect for very young babies who refuse to lie down in basinette like our newborn son. Looks very stylish. Baby can sit facing forward to carer, a wonderful thing as we like to chat with our son whilst walking him.
Cons: Steering not that great (particularly when you compare to our other pram, a Mountain Buggy Swift), an absolute pain to pull apart to put into the boot. I hate doing this so much I refuse to take the Bugaboo anywhere other than local walks. Upright sitting position is very low to the ground.
Basket is ridiculously small, I can barely fit a loaf of bread and some vegetables into it whilst at the local shops. Annoying pull closure on it too.
Overall construction could be a bit better, there is an annoying squeak in the frame when I turn corners or take it up/down steps.

Overall: This range of Bugaboo strollers (the Frog and Chameleon) look lovely and stylish, however are far from the most practical. We loved that bubs faced forward which is the main reason we bought this stroller over any other. Our son hated lying down from birth so we put him in the semi reclining position and used it that way for nine months until he started sitting up.
The stroller was a life saver at home as I constantly wheeled bubs around in it (our home has no stairs or steps) whilst doing housework or settling. I used this stroller a lot but now after a year of owning it I've decided to sell it as I don't want to keep it as our baby doesn't like being semi reclined and I find the sitting upright position too low to the ground.
If I had my time again I wouldn't purchase this stroller, I'd look at another forward facing pram that is perhaps a little less expensive such as Peg Perego Skate. All big brand strollers are made in Asia so there's not that much difference at the end of the day.
