Bugaboo Frog
3.5OK – 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. 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. 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.
