Bugaboo Bee 3

Quick and easy to open – This pram makes going to the shops quick and easy. Opening the pram backwards facing can be a little be of a struggle as u have to make sure both parts are clicked and locked into place otherwise it can be lopsided. Opening pram front facing is so easy and quick. As soon as this became and option for my baby this is when the pram became… Read more ·  1

amazing. The straps can be an issue with having it this way as I feel they aren’t long enough once u add in the cushion liner etc.

Pram overall is small enough to move through shopping aisle and wheels allow you to steer one handed as it glides.

The down side is the handles bar clips do wear out and have to be replaced quite often otherwise the handles slip and don’t lock into place.

Very happy with this pram overall.

Too low – I had a c-section and during the early months, I found the pram was just way too low which meant a lot of bending down. I would had loved to purchased a higher pram so when I go out to cafes the pram can just act as a high chair. No bending required Show details

One of my best investments – Pros: The buggy on a whole is very sturdy and small, you don’t have to wrestle your way through shops, cafes, or even on the bus, but the seat is bigger than average ones out there I’ve noticed (and me worrying I was having a 10lb baby) seat size was important. It’s lightweight (i used to break it down and carry the seatless frame over 1… Read more ·  1

shoulder and car seat with my son init with my other hand down the stairs at the tube stations when there was no one to help me down)

Folds down really easy (no need to take seat off) and takes up little space, really compact, Its been on holiday with us too, (America, Dubai, Turkey and Mauritius), even on these long haul flights my buggy came back undamaged! I refused buy another stoller for holidays instead I bought a bugaboo transport cover which fit in like a glove, no space to move about in, and the wheels pop out making it look like a hand carry case

After 3 years of having it, still no faults, still good suspension, everything works, it’s so easy to clean (my son vomited all over the seat once, it was easy to take the seat cover off and machine wash it, (i wash the hood and footmuff every 3-6months and they come back looking all new) I didn’t mention the seat belt are not them annoying buckles that you have hold all 4 pieces together to close, that can be hard work with a fussy toddler. Raincover isn’t flimsy either and secures on well

Cons:

Buggy doesn’t close with the cup holder on, you have to take it off

The understorage is a little on the small side but nothing a couple of buggy clips won’t solve

Overall I recommend this buggy to everyone, especially if your out and about a lot and want a durable buggy that’s lightweight and small in size, and if u have a heavier baby too, hope this helps!

Okay for smaller child – I got this pram for my first baby and used it with the bassinet for the first few months, then with the seat up till my son was around 7 months (I sold it after this). Keeping it simple.. Pro’s: - small pram, great for shops/cafe’s that don’t have much room. - folds up small, takes up very little space in the boot. - pram is super light… Read more

weight.

- smooth ride in metro areas (smooth paths, shopping centres etc).

- seat almost fully reclines.

- hood is extendable and provides excellent coverage.

Con’s:

- lightweight frame means that it is also on the flimsy side. This was my biggest reason for selling, as my son was heavy (10kg by 6 months) and I found the pram lost some of its smoothness and stability as he got bigger.

- basket is small and hard to access. You could fit a few small shopping bags in there, but this is definitely not a great pram to get if you plan to do a bit of shopping with it.

- the fold technique takes quite a bit to learn and get used (or at least, that’s certainly what I found).

- I sometimes found the button/leaver to recline seat would get stiff. It was the same with the button to switch the seat from reverse to forward facing.

Overall, if you have small/light children, and don’t plan to use the basket much, then this is a nice stroller.

The only pram to buy if you actually like shopping – I purchased the Van Gough Limited Edition and I'm not sorry to say that how good it looked was a huge selling point. it wasn't until I had my baby that I actually appreciated what a savvy purchase I had made. The pram can work in multiple modes - facing, rear facing, total recline, fully up and in between but the seat can also be shortened and… Read more

lengthened to fit a newborn or a toddler without becoming uncomfortable. The 5 point harness is already padded and clicks in and out easily; none of that messy slide this into this and then click business that cheaper prams have. It collapses and lifts exceptionally easily and becomes very compact in either mode. The handle height is easily adjusted and the wheels have great suspension. You're not supposed to take this pram off road but I do, and it holds up beautifully. The wheels are solid rubber, not air filled so no messing with pumps or crap. But the real selling point here and I mean the most important selling point is its featherlite steering. The pram can literally be pushed and manouvred with one finger. It can be steered around tiny little shops with ease and should someone run out of a shop in front of you it can change directions in an instant. I have loved this pram in busy shopping centres. It get comments about it all the time and one woman even said to me "you must be so pleased you didn't buy a battle chariot like all the other mums" and yes I am!

Love it! – We purchased this second hand as a third pram to keep in the car and for travel and it is by far the best we have had! So easy to use, fold, best sun protection, light and much better suspension than our big pram! Wish we bought bugaboo from the start! Show details ·  1

Lightweight and steers beautiful – I bought this second hand from gumtree. I had researched that this wasn't as old as other bees. For a preloved stroller it has aged well, with only minor scuffs and marks. Compared to other lightweight strollers I've owned (maclaren, mountain buggy swift) this by far is the easiet to steer and is very comfortable to push, fold and the baby looks… Read more ·  1

comfortable. THe hood is low so therefore gives good sun coverage. The basket underneath is easy to access. My only criticism is that bought brand new they are not holding the value as well as they use to and the accessories are expensive.

Great pram – Easy to use excellent for small cars and the canopy has great coverage only thing i would complain about is the price of all the add ons it does get expensive and they come with no belly bar Great pram though with its adjustable handle I dont regret buying it at all  Show reply

Can't even fold it away!!! – Not happy i purchased my bugaboo in Jan 17 and have only just started to use it with issues issues issues. I cannot even fold the pram to put it in my car to use it. The white button is faulty and doesn't go up. Considering I spent close to $1000 for this pram and the function to not be working properly is very frustrating having a 5 month old and not being able to use my pram what a joke. Quality Poor, can't fold!!!!

Just brand and high price, safety 0 – I have just returned this stroller after one month of use as I absolutely don't like it. I was tempted to buy it as it's popular brand but quality is not worth the price.. if you want branded stroller ok but if you need it for other reasons my advice is don't buy it, not easy to maneuver, make noise when moving seat and I wake up my child every… Read more

time i try to put it into flat position.. even that this can face both directions you can not see your child in ether as stroller is too low.. there is a gap between the frame and the seat where my baby kept putting his hand as this is serious safety hazard when adjusting the seat position as I need to bend low to be able to reach the handle and therefore his is out of my sight.. I personally think that you are paying for the brand and if you want heads turning than get it but if it's the quality or safety that I think that you are buying look at all aspects on the display model before you go ahead..

Was MEANT to be better – I thought this was going to be a good upgrade but it turns out its no better than the last one. Handling is the same and price was slightly higher. It's not terrible but I would probably get a different brand next time. Each to their own I guess.

Would recommend! – I love my Bugaboo 3! We have had it for a little over a year now and I would buy one again and again! It folds/ unfolds so easily and I love that it is a compact pram with the ability to have the seat switched between facing parent or not. I also find it fantastic that the canopy can be switched between a range of other colours on the market if… Read more ·  1

you start to want to change the style of the pram. It is definitely a pram made for urban use as it struggles to move over bumps in the terrain so that's probably the only thing consumers should keep in mind.

Easiest pram I have ever owned – The best pram I have ever owned, so light weight, was very easy to fold, one fold motion, very easy to maneuver as it was so light weight yet very sturdy. I would recommend the bee 3 to everyone if I could. Even better you have endless amounts of hoods to pick from to make your pram even better.  Show reply

Awesome pram – This simple, intellegently designed pram is great if you have issues with space in the boot of your car, travel loads or just don't want a heavy, wide berthed pram to have to try and navigate through busy city streets or the shopping centre. Easy to fold, unforld and carry. My only little thing is it's difficult to spin the seat position around from front to back the first few times you do - there's knack to it  Show reply

Can live without it!!! – I never thought about buying a bugaboo in fact I secretly laughed at people who did for spending so much money on a pram. One meeting with other mothers where one of them brought in a bee changed my mind forever. I was in awe seeing how sleek it looked and how small it is making mine look like a clumsy beast. As soon as hubby came home that day I… Read more ·  1

announced that I was getting one too! The bee 5 is out but mine is a bee 3, you can still get one on the bugaboo website from their outlet store! My baby (3mth old) can sleep in it for HOURS. I love how it can be parent or front facing and has so many recline positions. It's small size is a huge plus - I can walk around inside busy shops/cafes quite freely which I couldn't do with the previous pram. the bugaboo bee is so simple to fold, sturdy, functional, yet relatively light. It is the perfect city pram I love it!!!

It is comfotable – It is easy to control and push, it is very comfortable for baby sit and it is easy to close and open, the colour are lots of to choose, and all of them are beauty, one more nice thing it can be connect with a chair to sit for another child  Show reply

Great for city life – Very easy to fold and move Strong construction Best bugaboo because it's 1 piece and has withstand a few overseas trip. For new born I would recommend the cocoon to make it more comfortable It's been discontinued but it's still a good choice....bee5 has gone more up market and the price is dearer

Perfect for city living – The Bee is robust and compact. It is easy to manoeuvre around the city and still strong enough to carry all of your groceries. Folds away easily for car, home or dining out. Good amount of storage space below (in use will impact ability to fold). High quality build like all bugaboo products. Definitely recommend!  Show reply

Love it! – I love this pram, it’s so easy to set up with a one piece fold. It’s easy to steer, the basket is a really decent size and can hold a lot. It’s really easy to carry, use and it’s held up really well. I use this for my 3 and 5 year old. They still fit really comfortably.

Best pram ever! – My bugaboo bee3 is the best pram out there! Its easy to fold, unfold and carry. I love some of the features this pram has to offer such as being able to choose what handle bar height i have espcially for a short person like myself, also love the fact my baby can fall asleep in the baby capsule and it becomes the main feature seat to my pram, i can… Read more

customise my pram seat to any fabric i like and also love the cool attachments i can put on my pram such as snack trays, pram organisers, phone, cup,and drink holder and also custom pram hoods.

Lighter Pram And Easy To use – We had this pram for 6 months now, it is very light to carry around and easy to fold up. Good comfortable cushion for sitting & bassinet. Only drawback is that you need to buy a good canopy to protect baby from sun and wind. It can slide down 90% but there is still 10% left on it.

Good Pram – First pram I purchased as a first time mum and I am quite impressed with the pram. It looks great and love the accessories that can be purchased but are they very expensive! The pram feels solid, sturdy and is easy to maneuver. Baby loves to sit in the seat and always seems comfortable. It's easy to fold however the frame is quite heavy when… Read more

carrying it into the car. I have a SUV but when the bassinet and frame are in the car -- it does take up most of the boot space. When unfolding the frame it is a little awkward as if it just 'flips' out and needs to be rearranged properly when on the ground. When bassinet is on the pram - you can barely fit anything into the under basket. Perhaps the bassinet needs to be elevated more so you can reach into it and store things underneath. This function of the under basket can not be used when bassinet is in use.

Great everyday pram – My wife loves this reasonably compact pram stroller as it is light and folds easily. Build quality seems good. Is at home on sidewalks, the shops and manages little bumps in the park well. We bought it with the bassinet (extra cost) which feels very secure. Very happy overall with our purchase,

BEST small pram! Perfect! – The best small pram I have ever used being my last child I decided to buy this pram second hand. It is easily managed with one hand to push. Lightweight and can seat child up to 15 kg. Simple to close and open with plenty of accessories to brighten and make the Bee your own. The bugaboo pram is fabulous in every way and I do not want my child to stop sitting in it as I love the Bee.

Excellent small stroller – I love how this is compact than the Bugaboo Cam3 & DOnkey. I travel with it, perfect for a toddler 1 years onwards as they just want to hope on and off. Its like and folds into one piece. I didn't like it for a newborn as its not as sturdy as the other bugaboo prams. The basket is a great size, and fits into my boot with extra room. disadvantage would be not holding on my shopping /baby bag on the handle bar as it can tip.

Mums choose – Love this pram! It's so easy to use , perfect for small size mum like me .light weight, small size but in very good quality . great for take baby have a walk or go shopping . It's small but still have lots place to put your staff . It's very comfortable when baby lie down taking a nap. you can pick the color you like for the cover and seat .i choose pink and black for my baby girl , looks so cool .

Best pram – I think it's perfect. So light folds up so small. Lovely colour selection. So easy to maneuver. Can use from newborn. The quality is awesome and I choose the black gram which is beautiful. Also there are loads of different accessories you can personalize the pram. I like it very much. Great pram.

works well – Very easy to maneuver, especially in urban environment. It also could do the job for most outdoor activities. it's much lighter than Cameron, and very easy to fold and put it into car. The build quality is fair but not perfect considering its high price. Generally, very happy with this product.

Expensive but light and fast – Its VERY expensive but light and fast Pro's -The bugaboo is easy to maneuver as it has small easy to turn wheels in shopping centres, however its not good for bumpy grass. - It is easy to fold and carry as its super light -The build quality is good for its light weight -the materials are durable CONS - not good for bumpy grass as… Read more

wheels are small and soft

-Its nearly impossible to setup the first time, just google bugaboo bee setup on youtube. took 3 of us 3 hours.

-Its very EXPENSIVE , you could buy alot of other baby stuff and a mid price stroller for your money

- no bar infront of toddler , other strollers have a bar so if you hit something, it hits the bar, not the toddler

Fabulous! – It's very stylish, small compared to other bulky prams. However, the seat is comfy, wide and deep. Very easy to maneuver, compact and featherlight. Space saving, perfect for family with tight space house/unit. the only problem is the pram baggage wasn't the best. You can't put too many things inside it but still can holds essential baby needs on… Read more

the go. It seems hold the reseller value high and well built, so consider it as a long term investment.

Absolutely perfect – Love love love this pram!! So perfect. So light folds up so small. Lovely colour selection. So easy to maneuver. Can use from newborn. The quality is awesome and I choose the black gram which is beautiful. Also there are loads of different accessories you can personalize the pram. I love it

Love my Bee3! – This is my favourite shopping stroller. My Bub is very fussy when it comes to prams, but the Bee has always been a great option for me to use. I especially like the under-basket, hood coverage and the fact that it can lie completely flat for day sleeps. The main negatives are that all accessories (except the rain cover) are sold separately and there is no belly bar available. Very easy to fold & compact size for my boot.

Best pram ever! – I wish I would have bought it from the beginning. We used a bigger pram before and now downsizing to this bee. This is the best pram, very light, easy to maneuver, easy to fold (one piece) And we can modify the pram by changing the hood colours etc. Bought it for travel and very happy with it.

Love this pram – Love this pram but it was a nightmare to put together. Also pulling it up is sometimes hard to put your foot in and I have small feet. Comfort wise our baby loves it and in the cocoon she sleeps for hours nestled in... also super compact and not heavy! Bought after purchasing another pram and wish I bought this one first. Also super narrow and maneuvers perfectly:) my small issues are far outweighed by the positives!
