Reviewer Photos & Videos
I bought this pram on a whim and it’s been the best pram ever.
This pram has been used since late 2017 when I wanted a small pram that was lite, fit in my boot, and small enough for me to manage.
It’s now being used for my second child and it’s still like new, it’s easy to steer, it’s small enough to fit in my Mazda 2 boot, it’s lite to carry and I love that baby can face you or face out.
I also love the extendable seat!
I do wish the basket was a little bigger and a little more accessible when the pram seat is facing forwards.

Easy to push, light weight, baby happy but not good for travelling. Pram not robust, feels like it is made from cheap plastic, damaged twice when travelling on airplane. Became unused as could no longer found down.

Fitted in my boot both parts! ( Ford Fiesta) HATE the seat. Falls off on folding.

Love this pram, the features of being able to have seat parent facing or world facing is great. It’s super zippy and leaves room in my boot of Mazda 3 Hatch! Only downfall is it’s not great on grass, gravel or off road...

Takes a little getting used to remembering how to fold away etc (as most things do). But after a good few times, you will appreciate just how simple it folds into the boot of your car. Switching from front to back facing took a little getting used to as well but once u get the hang of it, like most things, it becomes second nature. We travel with this often, before these turbulent times when we could actually travel. It fits in the overhead locker in the cabin so you can take the stroller all the way to the gate and the cabin crew will store fo...
Read morer you. I also like how u can tilt the canopy to expose only one side, handy for when you're out and you want to have the canopy closed for privacy but still want a bit open to peek at your baby. Steers and handles very well on normal hard surfaces, have not tried on any other terrain. Shopping trolley thing underneath fits quite a bit (even my nappy backpack). Can easily steer with one hand. My baby seems comfy in there and can fall asleep. Another great point is that it reclines flat when facing the rear which can be handy for changing and sleeping. Love our Bugaboo Bee 5 :).Purchased in at Baby Bunting Physical store for $899.

Overall the stroller is the best in the market- light weight and sturdy.
But the assembly while switching the seat from front facing to back facing is tough as the placement on the hinges doesn’t latch tightly and while accessing from the boot the seat comes off unexpectedly! There isn’t a lock to keep the seat in place.

Strengths:
- Steers like a dream on flat pathways/shopping centers.
- Good size. Fits on public transport, in cafes/restaurants, doorways etc with ease.
- Adjustable handlebar for both shorties and tall people.
- Decent sized basket.
- Easy to use foot break.
- Adjustable seat as bub gets bigger.
Weaknesses:
- Terrible on terrains that are not smooth or flat. Like uneven paths, especially going from low to high (for example if there’s a crack in the path). I’ve also had the small wheels get stuck when trying to drop down the curb from the uneven path to road (no ramp)....

My bee 5 is still under warranty, and the chassis is broken as photo shows. But bugaboo Australia refused to repair for me instead of asking me to pay $400 to replace a new chassis. what a good brand and company!
Do not waste money on this product as it is not safe and not good to use.

I have had my bugaboo for 2 years now and I cannot live without it. It is super easy and quick to set up and fold down . Fits in my smaller boot. So easy to manoeuvre and was great for my newborn and now toddler. I would recommend the pram

We bought this as I do loads of runs and wanted to go slightly faster than walking but at higher speed it can wobble badly. Other than that the space under the pram has loads of room for at least one or so bags of shopping or baby things you need while out

So glad we made the decision to purchase a bee5, it is so easy to maneuver and fit through everything!! I am of a smaller built and my husband 6 ft. talk, the extendable handle makes it so easy for the both of us to use the pram.
Yes it doesn't handle grass or dirt road well but we knew it want meant to be an off-road pram when we bought it. The easy to use one fold system and lightweight of the Bee5 more than make up or that. We are now looking to take it on an overseas trip with us!

The only pram I will buy is Bugaboo! I’ve gone from having a Buffalo, Donkey Duo and now the Bee5 within three years... my oldest is 3 and my youngest is 18 months. The bee5 suits our needs perfectly it’s light and easy to steer. My 3 year old sits happily on the attached wheelboard.

We have just graduated to this and it is a dream to use after the uncomfortable piece of nonsense it replaces. My parents took pity on me (lol) and got this as a much appreciated gift. Folding it away is where this really shines. It such a well designed system and I have it in the boot in no time and I love having bub looking back to me - great design and easy to steer one handed!

A fantastic pram that i really cant fault. Lightweight and very compact fold which is great for my back. Great for a newborn all the way up to using it like a stroller for an older child. Beautiful to push and the quality is outstanding as always with Bugaboo. The only fault in my opinion is the price, alot to pay for a pram but well worth every cent.
