Bugaboo Fox

Extremely disappointed with this pram as we have had to replace the chasis after it got stuck, and now the wheel flew off in motion. I cannot find a rear wheel replacement making the pram completely useless. Our child is two and we hoped to use this for a few more years. Would not recommend given the price tag! Show details
We love our Bugaboo Fox2 – Our favourite pram out of the four different prams we owned (other ones being a double, and two travel prams). We bought it when it was on sale a few years ago, and could have sold it now that we owned two smaller travel prams. However, it's very smooth, and easy to manouver around. The chassis is sturdy, and go anywhere with us. We dislike the… Read more
two clips to adjust the handle height, however it's now fixed in the new Fox5 (no, we're not upgrading just for that). We wish the basket a bit bigger, so we can fit more stuff during a grocery run. Plenty of accessories to personalize your pram with Bugaboo, so we would recommend this brand.
This pram has a lot of good features but for me was outweighed by the bad. Firstly, I got provided a different basket than standard and it took months of back and forth to get the clip attachments and instructions on how to install it. This meant for the first nearly 5 months of my sons life, I had no pram basket which limited my ability to get… Read more
out and about. The handle bar grips flaked off quickly. The hood piece is flimsy and doesnt connect properly, constantly falling off, particularly if it is bumped at all like when being put into the boot. The seat is super uncomfortable for my son, he hates sitting in it unless I add heaps of padding with other blankets. We dont have this issue with other prams. The seat also is nowhere near big enough. My son grew out of it within 9 months (his neck was kinked to the side when laying down because it lacked further upper body space). I spent $1,300+ buying this pram from new and am honestly so disappointed. Had to buy a different brand at 9 months old due to my baby not fitting.

Price ☆☆ Build ☆☆☆☆ Design ☆☆ Safety ☆☆☆☆ Walking ☆☆☆☆☆ Comfort ☆☆☆ (for child)
Good pram a breeze to push while walking on flat and bumpy surfaces, great suspension, quality frame and wheels. Has a fantastic canopy sunshade that can be regular size or extended to cover baby completely - great for when it's cold, sunny, child is sleeping or you just don't want people touching or looking at your baby/toddler, also has great mesh air vents that can be covered or used as required. The only thing I would have suggested is a peep whole on the back of the canopy to see bub while pushing.
Bassinet is over rated and would have been much more practical to come with the car seat instead (especially considering the price). The Bassinet is bulky and not very cosy. Does have air vents which are a good edition to the Bassinet and a footmuff, the footmuff is a little annoying to get on and off. A Safety band in the Bassinet would be a good edition.... But hey it looks good.
When you detach the Bassinet and attach the toddler seat it's much more user friendly and alot safer for baby/toddler. Id like to mention I love the quality of the material used on the seats also. Has great seatbelt with cushioning and you can easily adjust the height of the seatbelt to accomodate growing baby. You can also change the seating position to lay-down or sitting upright. I would skip the Bassinet and just use this seat for new baby (or buy the compatible carseat)
The rain cover is sleek and easy to use and fold away, it has air holes and looks really nice on the pram.
The breaking system is easy to use and reliable. Feels sturdy when on.
When putting this pram in the car it's quite a process and takes up a large amount of room, if not all the boot space - depending on your car size.
I would highly recommend this pram to parents that walk alot and don't have to get in and out of a car a few times a day.
Defiantly should come with two seat/bassinet frames instead of the interchangeable one as it would have been much more practical and less finicky to assemble/deconstuct in a timely manner. But inwill note once it's done if you don't need to change back for at least few months it is manageable.
The foot rest for your toddler isn't movable and may become a little cramped on legs after about age 2.
I also feel the frame of the pram could have been slightly higher so when the handle bar is extended bub doesn't feel so far away.
When you unbox this pram it does have a fair bit of assembaly required and you will need the instructions for most of it.
*Would have been nice if the handle bar and pram bar sported better quality material maybe something antisweat could have been considered also.

Great pram, beautiful material design, but our 18 month old has outgrown the stroller – I have loved most things about my fox 3! We have been using it for 15 months, and below are the pros and cons: (edited below at sons age of 18 months) Pro’s: - the material is such great quality. It washes up really well, breathable and comfortable for my little one. - the easy to use fold up is so convenient when I am on my own, I can pack it… Read more
up and into the car in a matter of seconds - the storage underneath is quite good size compared to some of my friends prams - the bassinet is a deep and supportive, comfy space - the change over from bassinet to stroller was quite simple, as well as the overall assembly - i liked being able to use the adapters to put my Nina Turtle car seat on it - handles all ground really well, from our coastal everyday lifestyle to out in the country visiting family - love the quick lock, and safety feature of pulling back to release
Con’s: - on the pricey end of prams - after only 12 months, my little one had started to not be able to sit back in the stroller as his head hits the attached fabric piece at the top. It does have a zip so we thought it was removable but it is sewn attached at one end. This is currently a HUGE con for us as he is not enjoying being in his pram since about 13 months due to his head touching the panel, and I would like to think that for the thousands of dollars for the bundle that you’d get far longer out of it. We are looking into if we can cut the fabric or what can do to help our son fit more comfortably. My son is tall for his age, but only 84cm and 13.8kg. - the tabs on the adjustable foot support are not very sturdy and bust off regularly.
Edit: My son at 18 months old has completely outgrown this pram, which is incredibly disappointing for the price of it. His head hits the panel at the top of the stroller piece, and I have tried so many times to remove it or fold it back, but that comes at a cost of not being able to use the tilt release lever. He wakes up from pram naps distraught trying to wiggle away from the piece. I’m not sure what that piece is even for but it’s a huge hindrance for taller toddlers. Will now have to buy a stroller, hesitant to stick with bugaboo.
Love this pram!! – This is the pram that has all I needs, I love the ease and style of this pram. I can attach my car set to the frame which is handy when ducking into the shops and my little one is asleep. The only thing is you will need some room in the boot of the car for this one.

Falls apart after one child and good care – I would caution anyone who is looking at bugaboo products after our experience. These items sell for over $1000 in price and ours fell apart after raising one child to 2 years. With our second child following 2 years, we had a wheel pop off in mid use. This can be a serious safety hazard. I had to repair the wheel which gave it a bit longer of a… Read more
life. We also took ours on one airplane ride and the fabric became damaged. I am not sure how because it was in a protective bag…
Today our sun shade broke on a key plastic hinge making it unusable. At this point of time we are way past our warranty.
To give you context of how bad these strollers are, My mothers single chair Maclaren has lasted her 33 years being used with 4 kids and two grand kids. Not to mention constant use in travel and abuse in airports. I thought the bugaboo would be an investment piece that would last us.
To give you an idea, le creuset has their pots with a lifetime warranty and it is viewed as an investment piece. Pots seem to have a better service model than luxury children’s products…

Perfect pram- design, features and a little lux – Easy to put together- YouTube videos are a good help. classic colours and you mix and match pieces. Slow handing and one-hand pack down. Sturdy but not bulky. Love the bassinet for the newborn and toddler skateboard seat. Show details
Beautiful pram that we have absolutely loved – We have a bugaboo fox I purchased in Feb 2020 for our first baby. I loved it, although it is quite big it’s perfect for tall people! I recently had an issue with it getting jammed and bugaboo have been excellent at helping to get it sorted. Online videos for assembly easy to follow. No hesitation recommending this product.

Fox 3 – After much deliberation I chose the Bugaboo Fox 3 pram for my little new boy. Easy to put together and change over from bassinet to seat. My LO transitioned to the seat around 12-14 weeks as he didn’t like laying completely flat. The seat however reclined back enough I felt my baby was safe and secure. The fact the hood extends and can over right… Read more · 1
over is great for a sunny or windy day, knowing there is enough ventilation with multiple netted openings. Highly recommend this pram. A few minor things could be improved upon, which I think Bugaboo have sorted with their new Fox 5

Can’t adjust straps and Bugaboo won’t resolve – This is my second fox 5. I originally loved it, but this time around, the harness is almost impossible to move. Bugaboo are trying to say it me and not an issue with the pram. I’ve owned so many bugaboos over the years, I cannot count. I have never had issues adjusting the harness and know the prams inside out. I even sent a video of me adjusting… Read more
a harness on one of their display models with no issues. They are still saying it’s me which is ridiculous. Our little girl gets out of her straps all the time because it’s impossible to adjust when she is in there, which is a safety issue. It’s absolutely appalling customer service and to blame the customer and basically call them a liar in a round about way.
I’ve owned so many bugaboos and loved the brand. I’ve also recommended them to hundreds of people over the years. This will be my last bugaboo.
It sadly only got worse – I dont want to have to write this but I would like to have known this myself before I purchased. I bought this when my second child was 10 months and only ended up using it for exercise walks as it was to bulky and fiddly to use with the car. Recently with my third, I purchased a new seat frame, seat material and canopy... as mine was stolen, not… Read more
to mention sunbleached. You would think that purchasing these 3 things meant I was good to go, no... you dont get half the pieces you need to put a seat together and would have cost me another $400-500. I sent them back and the postage was nearly $300, incredibly misleading website and I am out $100's because of it.

2 hours just to assemble the pram – The wordless assembly diagrams are inadequate. There is supposed to be an instructional video at https://bugaboo.com/fox/howto, but that page responds "404 - Page not found." It was only by accident that we found the company's assembly video. It took two of us two hours to assemble the pram. It will probably take another two hours to convert it from bassinet to upright stroller. Show details

big, nor do the side come up very far. It include the bassinette and seat for once the child is ready/it’s safe to swap them over. I found it very easy to use and put together, but like using anything new, a little bit of practice was required.
Few tweaks needed – Love my pram, have been using for 11 months. So light and easy to fold. My issue at the moment is my bub wants to sit independently and the highest seat recline is too upright and the middle one is too reclined for her! She currently hates the pram. Thinking of getting a new one. Show details
Alright but not the best – At the start of my purchase I was really happy with the pram but after months of use I could start to see the bad signs. It's not the best on rough surfaces (especially grass) hard to push onto different surfaces or when hitting a rock or edge guttering etc the pram can become stuck and then flip if your not careful. It's great that the good… Read more
can be changed as I found the pram can become quite hot during the Australian summer.
Easy fold up and down. Horrible with folding space though. Takes up WAY too much room.
If I was to purchase a pram again, I wouldn't be purchasing this one again or another bugaboo. The quality isn't there anymore. Typical Chinese made product.

Uncomfortable recline position – Was using the pram for 8 months and it was ok until I need to sit baby upright. The angle is almost 90 degrees and absolutely uncomfortable for my baby. Next recline position is 45 degrees and too flat for independently sitting child. Nothing in between. Too upright or too flat. Baby screams after 5 min stroll as so uncomfortable. Heavy,… Read more
uncomfortable to fold, takes too much space in a boot. Aghhh… Nice to push though. Good frame, suspension and wheels. Good canopy. But all pros don’t outweigh the outrageously uncomfortable stroller positions. Would not buy again.

Amazing wheels, very smooth, but difficult to fold – I was given this pram as a gift and have been overall pleased with it. The wheels are large and work well on most terrains, it steers flawlessly and easily with one hand, and the basket is large and holds items well.

has to fold down directly on the ground for it to lock together as it's very heavy for me, (2) the basket is very difficult to access when using the bassinet, and (3) you have to jolt the pram a little bit for the wheel lock to disengage after you've unlocked it. Overall a good pram, albeit a bit large!
Problematic folding, Bugaboo don't care – I've tried publishing a review before and the Bugaboo representative took the conversation over to email. I'm not happy with the resolution. I bought this pram used and later found it have a fault with its central locking, one arm doesn't lock open and the frame tries to collapse when used. I did some basic searching online and found this is a… Read more
common fault with this model and if you’re the original owner Bugaboo replace the chassis free of charge because they know it's a faulty chassis. I contacted Bugaboo but was told there was nothing they could do as I was the second owner. I was instead offered a 20% discount on the $900 replacement chassis, but even with a discount its still more than half the cost of an entire new pram.
I’m so disappointed. I thought by buying a Bugaboo brand I would be getting Bugaboo quality, but instead I have a giant lemon I can’t use and a company who know they sold a faulty high end pram who have dusted their hands of it.

Outdated pram – I do like my bugaboo fox. However, I think it’s not up to date compared to other prams in the market. My sons is 18months and tall for his age. He no longer fits in the pram and his head hits the visor. The legs also just hang there. Other prams have the option of the legs to come up (like a recliner)

A Stylish and Solid Pram – I was lucky to be sent the new Bugaboo Fox 3 pram as part of the ProductReview ambassador program for testing over the past month. I’ll preface this by saying our household are big fans of Bugaboo- we purchased a Cameleon 3 early 2019 just prior to the birth of our daughter (now 2.5 years old). This model is now superseded, but there are many… Read more · 1
similarities (as well as some significant improvements) with the Bugaboo Fox 3.
One of the reasons I’m such a fan of Bugaboo is that they are a quality product, you get what you pay for and it’s apparent that their products are considered and intuitive to use.
Bassinet I have only tested the pram with the toddler seat attachment, as my daughter is now too big for the bassinet, but it looks very similar to the bassinet that we used on the Cameleon 3, so I’ll comment briefly on it. The bassinets for these prams are sturdy, feel incredibly secure and offer great protection and privacy to nap. This is especially important for a young baby in COVID times. My understanding is that there have been some upgrades with a more breathable fabric in the design of the Fox3 bassinet.
Brake: A major upgrade in the design of this pram is the brake. While the hand brake that was on the Cameleon seems good in principle, in practice I found it awkward and sometimes stiff to use, and would need to use two hands to release the brake (often needing to remove my hand from the wrist strap, which was not ideal). The Fox3 has a footbrake with a fantastic “click” mechanism- you press it down both to apply the brake, and to release it (so no awkward pushing it upwards with your foot).
Toddler Seat: The seat itself has the standard 5-point harness, but the seat fabric is more padded compared to the Cameleon, and much more comfortable for the child. Removing the seat is easy, with a memory click of the white buttons at the side to remove it – and it can be switched around to face the parent or to face outwards. The overall seat sits higher as well, which I think is a nice modification for the parent getting the child in and out of the pram. It can also be put in at different angles according to how you prefer to sit up your child. I will say that my 2.5 year old is average height, and the footrest on this pram is composed of a hard plastic- while she is able to rest her feet on it, it might get uncomfortable for her soon if she dangles her legs down. Her head is also about to touch the top of the canopy. Given this, I would imagine it won’t suit her past around the age of 3 years (but let’s hope she’s happy to walk a bit more herself then!).
Canopy: The canopy has the inclusion of a “peekaboo” window – a fantastic addition to see if bub is asleep without disturbing them. The canopy also extends very far down, offering great privacy and sun protection.
Handlebars: The handlebars of the bugaboo are comfortable, covered in leather and adjust to different heights easily. Both my husband (180cm) and myself (163cm) found it comfortable to use.
Suspension The suspension on this pram is fantastic, and actually much better than on the Cameleon. It handled itself incredibly well over rough terrain on our walks. I notice the wheels on this pram are much larger than the Cameleon 3, which likely contributes to its better shock absorption.
Size and folding Now onto the elephant in the room – the size, which is the only reason I’ve deducted a star considering the price. This is not a small pram, and let’s be honest, it’s not meant to be. It’s solidly constructed to handle multiple situations. Our family have a small hatchback, and when this is folded down (very straightforward by the way), it is still sizeable, and takes up most of the boot space. I wouldn’t be able to fit many groceries in addition to this pram. If however, your family has an SUV, it might not be such an issue for you.
Overall: This is a premium pram, and if you have the setup to make it work, the space to store it and the right boot space, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
Where pram meets a cruise liner – Okay. Strap in for what will be a very long review from a household on their third bugaboo. We are very happy to be given the chance to review the Fox 3, with a 13 month old and a 2 year old. The four year old climbed in too but we'll leave her opinions out as it was largely reserved for the colour. We have owned the generation 1 Cameleon, a… Read more · 1
Bee3 and now the Fox 3 – so you could say we have a very strong familiarity with both the bassinet/upright off-road full-featured ranges and the compact line of bugaboos.
First Impressions & positives - - The bassinet is significantly improved, firstly in the closure system. It’s considerably quicker and easier to open up, close and secure the little ones. While I could only get to wrangle a 14 mth old to get a sense (we don’t have little bebbies anymore ☹) it was considerably easier than our cameleon where we sort of had to wrangle the infant through the top opening and down into the bassinet if that makes sense, or tilt the bassinet to feed them in. .
- Bassinet life altering improvements It is far easier to remove. I do not know the health guidelines on the use of pram bassinets for travel sleeping when on vacation. However – for naps on the go I often preferred not bother using the removable car pod when out an about, favouring our bugaboo bassinet for somewhere safe and quiet to sleep removed from the pram. The problem with the cameleon was that the clips for fastening to the frame could rotate, but the bassinet sides were not stiff enough to keep it upright.
The bassinet is now much easier place on flat ground to provide a quiet, cool place for the littlest ones to snooze – and after you pivot the connection points the sides are stiff enough to support both the cover and the hood and even further supported by a little plastic support on the rear near the vent. I have not had a chance to test in summer but the mattress is significantly thicker but likely still cool enough for a shadey nap. This - plus the closeable open-mesh area at the back to the cooling ability which from what I can tell is not something I’ve ever seen in a bassinet. I live in hope that Bugaboo can make a toddler sized version. I’m also told there is a bassinet stand for multiple models – I would think this would make the system a solution for travel in the wee-years of kids.
So - in closing the bassinet is a GAME CHANGER in my opinion and i imagine if you're considering a bassinet-equipped pram system then this should factor heavily into your consideration.
- The systems folds down smaller and easier. Compared to the Bee, the frame (minus bassinet + seat) takes up a similar room in our vehicle when flat, due largely to a better nesting frame design making a flatter package overall. It is not as compact as our Bee3 but then it’s not fair to compare an ultraportable with the full-feature. It is still a large pram and you need to place the bassinet component on-top of the flattened base when in that configuration but I would say it takes less room now than a beach-wagon, and significantly less room than the cameleon in seated mode used to take up due to the very cleaver seat mechanism.
- Trolley-mode – where have you been my parenting life?! We use to flip the handle backward to go large-wheel forward for hiking and beaches – trolley mode makes this far easier by pivoting the back wheels towards the front - making it easier to pull along uneven paths.
Embarrassingly I’ve been told this was a feature since day-one on cameleon – so let this be a large compliment to Bugaboo for a one-of-a-kind feature from what I can tell, and something I really like about the Fox 3. I also like the locking front wheels. I took the pram to Toowoomba showgrounds with a notorious large-gauge gravel area that was impossible to navigate with pram front wheels historically. Locking the wheels in place allowed the front AND rear suspension to push the bumpy ride and keep the pram moving.
- Changing from rearward to forward facing handles is far easier. I am willing to concede our first system was second hand, so I could never be sure if the difficulty flipping the direction while in-bassinet mode was normal or not or associated with wear and tear. But this is smooth as butter and easy to click the button.
- Weight – it is significantly lighter than the cameleon (feels 1-3 kgs lighter, but I am willing to concede our cameleon has the accumulated detritus of two infants embedded in its fabric soul), maybe slightly lighter than the Bee. No surprises there – it’s almost 12 years newer but still, it rivals some of our parent friends travel prams for weight. Easily carried by one hand too – even when in seated-mode and still attached.
- The ride is silky smooth and the suspension is just something else. Makes me resent the suspension in my car.
- Storage is better than both of our earlier bugaboos, and maybe not in volume but usability – i.e. easier to feed things in and out in both the upright and bassinet.
Cons / Challenges
- Assembly was tricky – maybe moreso than the Bee but on-par with the Cameleon. But as always – the internet and the Bugaboo support team were angels. And as always – I hadn’t read the instructions correctly. The bassinet is pre-assembled though – which in my experience was the more challenging of the set-ups with our Cameleon.
- It’s large. Very large. But that’s known going in. This is not a travel stroller by any sense and consumes a third of the bootspace in my CX-5 when folded in seated-mode. Removing the wheels makes a big difference in getting the frame as flat as possible too and this is easy now the front has buttons for toggling them in and out adjacent the lock mechanisms.
- I’m 6’5 – the handstrap doesn’t quite comfortably accommodate the angle of my hand on the frame when pushing the pram and it’s a little squeezy to get my mitts in the loop.
Overall / afterthoughts Bravo team Bugaboo! As a bit of a bugaboo tragic it’s amazing to see the product-line continuously improve and evolve and these prams deserve every bit of good reputation they hold. If i had my time again from baby #1 the bugaboo line would remain my primary choice hands down and the Fox 3 is definitely the unit i'd go for.
I’m going to reserve this space to add further information as I use the pram more. Every few days we discover something new or realise a different way to do something. I’d also like to post some comparison videos as soon as I figure out how to obscure my littlies faces!
LOVE this pram...It's a dream to push and use!! – This is my second Bugaboo. I owned a Bugaboo Cameleon with my 1st daughter 9 years ago and I loved that pram. The only thing is it felt quite flimsy, especially considering the price tag. However the Fox is a whole new ball game. It feels so solid and secure, whilst still being light and an absolute breeze to push. Turning is so simple and going… Read more · 1
in and around tight spaces in shopping centres was no problem.
My son is 18 months so we didn't need to use the bassinet. The seat is roomy and seems comfortable and he is quite a big boy. I can't see him getting much past about 3 years of age but as I said he is very tall, and my first 3 kids by age 3 wanted to walk themselves so I can't see him being any different :P
It is very easy to fold and unfold although is quite large so takes up a lot of boot space.
When walking on an outside footpath the suspension is AMAZING. We live in a bushy area with no footpaths, just the road which can be pretty rough and bumpy. But the Fox took it like a pro. Bub hardly seemed to feel any bumps at all.
Other things I really liked were the foot brake (My old bugaboo had a hand brake which was a pain!), the adjustable handle bar, and that you can have the seat facing the world or parents. I would only ever choose a pram that can do this as I love having the option of seeing bub.
The only downsides (if you can call them that) are that it's quite big when folded, and I can't see kids older than 3 very comfy in it unless they are on the short side. But I have previously owned iCandy, Baby Jogger and Steelcraft prams and they have all been pretty much the same so I don't think it is an issue.
I will add pictures shortly :)
The Rolls Royce of prams, in features and size – This really is the deluxe edition of any pram I've ever used. It is so smooth and nice to push, handles any surface with ease and my child was pretty comfortable in it, but all these features come in a larger than expected package. This pram is big, and doesn't fold down much at all. Firstly, it wasn't too difficult to put together out of the… Read more · 1
box. Bugaboo in general is fairly intuitive in its design and construction, but the ambiguous instructions can be frustrating when you get stumped by something.
It came with the bassinet set up and we had to deconstruct the bassinet and construct the seat as our child is a toddler. But there were only instructions on how to construct the bassinet, which seems weird if it comes with that already setup? But we just looked at them in reverse and figured it out pretty quick.
Other than that it was a quick setup, and then we were left with a fairly large box full of plastic and spare parts. If you're short on storage space you may want to consider a different pram!
Next we tackled the fold / unfold mechanism, which we looked to YouTube for and nailed in 2 minutes. But wow, this pram still takes up a lot of space when folded. It wouldn't fit in any cupboard space we had available, and even after shuffling stuff around we just gave up and put it at the end of our bed... which then blocked the view to the TV. It also took up most of the boot space in our Subaru WRX wagon, leaving little room for much else.
I know I've said it already... but this pram is BIG!
We took it out for it's maiden voyage, and again I struggled with it's size as it's wider than our previous pram. We live in an old house that's got 2 steps up to the front door in a little alcove, and then a downhill path with a right angle in it. I struggled to get it out the door & down the step with walls either side, and then when manoeuvring around the corner I ended up in the garden. I think I need some practice!
But once we were out on the open path it was a dream. No other pram I've ever used steers or rides like the Bugaboo Fox 3. Just for fun I aimed it at every bump, hole, dip or rise I could find and it took it like a pro. Dirt, grass, uneven ground, even sand. This thing will easily get you through the apocalypse with a peaceful sleeping baby! Up a full flight of stairs backwards? No problems! Off the narrow path to let cyclists pass? Easy! My toddler had no complaints and quite promptly fell asleep so I smoothly tilted her back and continued on.
When she woke I did notice that she didn't have a really comfortable foot rest though. She's an average sized almost-three-year-old and for her to put her feet on the foot rest she had to bend her knees, which she didn't seem to phased by. If she straightened her legs out though there was nothing below the seat foot rest for her to place her feet on. The pram is recommended for 0 to 4 years, and she's well below that, but I can't see her using this pram for much longer.
My husband has normal sized man-hands and noted that the safety strap wasn't long enough. He can get his hand through it, but cannot then hold onto the handle as there is not length left. He also noted leather grip on the pram handle was not wide enough for him, and his hands sat off the sides of it which was uncomfortable. He did love the adjustable height of the handle bar though, and the amazing suspension and ride!
I have small hands and usually struggle with clips and buckles, but everything on the Fox is smooth and easy to click in and out. The mechanism to add or remove the seat glides on and off with easy to press clips, the handle bar glides up and down to different heights, and I also loved how the straps are more solid and sit forward off the seat so you don't have to dig around behind your kid to find them.
The foot brake is great and easy to use, locking both wheels together and feeling firm and trustworthy. Although I did find that the bottom basket always got in the way of my foot when I wanted to use the brake. The bottom basket is also huge! My gosh, you can fit everything in here, and when it's full the pram still glides along with the extra weight.
Overall it's got amazing features and rides like a dream on any surface, but it's a lot larger than I expected and in my opinion wouldn't work well in a smaller house, apartment or for someone with a compact car. If you've got the space for it though, it's a wonderful pram that will easily last you from newborn to 2.5 years.
Convenient and stylish – If I had a dollar for every time someone pushed my pram and told me how comfortable and smooth it is, I would be rich. It’s has plenty of storage space so I don’t have to worry about carrying my baby or shopping bags. It’s light weight and easy to pack into and out of the car. Best of all it’s very stylish, weather proof and so easy to keep clean. Show details · 1
Lightweight with effortless push – Like many of the previous reviewers - I too spent hours researching what pram to buy! In all honesty, the Bugaboo Fox 2 wasn't my favourite pram to look at... I don't love the aesthetics of the boxy, deep bassinet and the new fabrics tend to look crushed. HOWEVER - and this is a big however - I was won over by how easy it was to push and the… Read more · 1
featherlight weight of the chassis.
I am short in stature and slight in frame so knew that getting anything heavier than 10kg in and out of the car was going to be near impossible. So it ruled out many of the other full sized prams. After pushing and folding the Fox 2 in the shop countless times, I decided it was the right choice for me.
What I would point out is that selecting a pram is a very personal choice so it's really important to test drive a few... including using the folding mechanism. I quite like the fold on the Fox 2 but I know it drives lots of people mad. So if you're considering the Fox 2, I'd suggest going to a stockiest and practice the fold a few times before you commit to buy.
Unfortunately after about five months of use, my chassis developed a rather annoying metallic rattle. I contacted Bugaboo customer service along with a video of the noise and they were super helpful. After only a few emails back and forth, they deemed my pram faulty and sent me a replacement chassis. Really fantastic customers service.
Overall thoughts:
Pros: - The frame is super lightweight for a full size pram. - Pushing is a dream. I know this is their tagline, but it really does have fingertip push. - Good for shorties like me with a very adjustable handlebar. - From a big brand that handles customer service issues very quickly. - Lots of colours to pick from.
Cons: - The bassinet is BIG. Like really big. I wish it were an inch shallower and not so boxy. For this reason, it's a bit of a challenge navigating inner city cafes and accessing the basket... I have a BMW X3 and it doesn't fit lengthways in my boot which is also a pain. - The fold is a little tricky.. and after five months my partner still hasn't got the hang of it. Plus, more often than not, everything out of the basket falls out when I go to place it in my car. So that's a bit of a pain. - Bugaboo changed the fabrics for the Fox 2. They are nice but they can look permanently crushed. - The Fox 2 cannot be converted into a double pram like many of its competitors... but I suspect this is because they also have to sell the Bugaboo Donkey.
Overall, a really great pram that I'd definitely recommend to new parents despite a few small drawbacks!
Nightmare to assemble! – I didn’t actually get to use this pram as I purchased and went back to exchange for something else. I’ve seen friends unpacking their prams in only a few pieces and this one is an absolute nightmare to put together. I thought maybe they gave me the wrong box because I couldn’t believe how terrible it was! Majority of parts come in plastic… Read more
separated from all linings and fabrics so you have to put the frame together, canopy with the frame in it, etc. You pay a big price and at the end of the day the frame for the bassinet and frame for the toddler seat is the same, which means once you have been through the nightmare of assembly, you will have to do it again when your baby grows to change the frame to the normal seat. I’m normally the kind of person that will put an ikea item together in about 20 min where it says it takes 2 people and 45 min to do it, but this was next level. It completely wrecked my back and is probably the biggest regret buy of my life! I tried to push it to assemble thinking it may be worth it, but after an hour trying I realised that even if I did, I’d have to go through this again when my baby grows in order to change the frame. Not only that but the ziper for the bassinet got jammed straight away when I put on and almost broke. Some parts seemed very cheap while putting together and as much as it may look nice in the shop, the fact that the pram comes in so many pieces makes you look at every part of it and realised is really not worth the price! In all honesty I’m not sure if it would be worth it in the end as I didn’t actually use the pram but I wasn’t willing to risk it so I took it back as I had clear signs from the beginning that it wasn’t great.

Love the pram – We got this pram for our first baby. I did a lot of research and compared many prams. the reason we choose Bugaboo was simply because it moves so easily and effortlessly! The reason we choose the FOX 2 is because its under 10kgs, has a bassinet ( just the fabric and mattress needs to be stored away once done), has pockets on the bassinet ( i store… Read more · 1
all sorts of things here from sanitizer to reusable shopping bags), has good resale value if we wish to sell it. Do not regret this purchase.
Things i wish Bugaboo would improve: - Make is easier to fold. Currently we have to take the bassinet or seat off and fold the frame separately. - Make the footrest adjustable. Would make it easier to access the basket. - change the location of the safety strap.

On balance, OK... but expensive for what it is, and doesn't suit tall parents/babies – Initial impressions: Feels weighty and good quality in the chassis and larger components, although the smaller components (clips, hooks, buttons) feel plasticky and unlike they’d stand up to longer term use. Difficult and time consuming to assemble from new. The idea of a rear- or front-facing child seat PLUS a bassinet assembly is appealing to… Read more
most new parents, however it’s not unique. Some manufacturers even do it better. The weight distribution is good, and the pram feels sturdy and balanced overall. This DOES change for the worse, however, when fully extending the push handle. This is something that happens across all products in the world for tall people, and it’s something that is very rarely addressed by manufacturers. I’m 6’1” and my 15 month old is the height of many 2.5 year olds, and so all feedback below should take that fact into account, however I think the vast number of prams suffer from this issue and it is ignoring the fact that men are on average far taller than women. Dads use prams too.
Great: • Child seat position is nice and high. • Soft gliding ride. • Seat base is ergonomically better than many prams. • The swivel joint in the bumper bar is such a GREAT idea. You can get a kid in and out of this pram with one hand. This is how all prams should operate. • The five-point harness uses four separate belts that clip individually and separately into the buckle. Much, much better than other prams where the over-shoulder straps have to first clip onto the waist straps to then be put into the buckle (which makes one-handed belt fiddling impossible). Most people are holding their toddler or baby while they’re holding straps and moving buckles out of the way to get the child into the seat, so in effect operating one-handed. • Compatible with many car seat brands for snap-in travel capsule use with very young babies, so even greater value to be found in its use. • Bassinet is plush and looks very comfy, but is on the smaller side, particularly in length. • Swapping the child seat assembly around between front- and rear-facing is very quick and easy.
Good: • I *think* the upholstery on the handle is leather. Much nicer than foam. But to be fair, for a RRP of ~$1800, so it should be! • Good amount of ground clearance. Not great, though. Just good. • Range of EOM accessories is really good. • Having the child seat forward facing allows you to have a reclined position – really good for much younger babies who like to see the world. Not all babies want to be able to see mum or dad, and would rather look at the view as you’re walking, but when they’re too young to sit up they do need to recline quite a bit. A third semi-upright position forward-facing would be ideal (there’s only fully reclined, or totally upright).
Meh:
• Don’t know why you’d put white wheel inserts on an all-terrain pram. Aesthetically they don’t add anything, and white just shows all the dirt and water marks. Let’s just say there’s a reason most pram wheels are black.
Poor: • Doesn’t fold up nearly as easily as the marketing videos. It’s actually really awkward. • Heavy for what it is. My Mountain Buggy Urban Elite is much lighter. I think realistically, many shorter women would struggle to get this in and out of a sedan boot. • Change over between child seat stroller and baby bassinet assembly is slow and not something you’d do on-the-go (out of the back of your vehicle for example). Plus carrying both in your boot would be bulky. My Valco Snap Ultra uses the same part for the seat and the bassinet, with some zip on upholstery pieces, so it’s less time consuming and less bulky. Sometimes you want both options for your baby when you go somewhere. • Solid wheels, not pneumatic. I suppose this is marketed towards people who can’t or won’t manage the maintenance of air-filled tyres. No punctures, but extra weight and the need for additional suspension components (which adds more weight again). Personally, I hate solid rubber wheels (although at least they’re not plastic like many prams now). • Two front wheels is, I think, inferior for all-terrain handling. Three-wheelers are better for proper exercise-level walking and navigating up and down curbs. • Very bulky for what it is. The seat assembly is almost like a sub-frame within another frame, and it ends up being a lot of infrastructure for what is a very simple seat piece. • That, in turn, pushes the child seat assembly further forward, which means, even at 6’1”, that I can’t see my kiddo from behind the seat while I’m walking. I like to be able to glance down and see she’s ok. • Not much stowage. No secure zip pocket for cash and phone. Bottom parcel basket only sits loosely on top of the frame, and has just two securing points. • Bottom parcel basket partially obscures the brake pedal. • It’s yet another pram where the seat doesn’t adjust to the exact angle you’d like it. My kiddo is taller, I like it reclined a little from straight up and down. This one only goes to full recline, or full upright. • Handle extension is tricky because it’s hard to find the click-in positions, and you need to click it in symmetrically so you can flip the securing clips back down to lock it in place. This is more of an issue given you have to completely retract the handle each time you fold the pram. A more positive feel would be better; adjustment stages that really snap into place. • The push handle fully extended is really only *just* high enough for me. I find it irritating that the handle only seems to push out further backwards and doesn’t angle up far enough. Fully extending it makes the pram take up significantly more space, and also pushes the user back farther behind the pram. I do not like this. • The brake is a ratchet type lever, and you can’t tell at a glance if it’s applied or not. After using this for a while I realised there’s a little red indicator near the wheel, but it’s not actually obvious. • Mine came with the bassinet option assembled to the sub-frame. You have to pull this off the frame to then assemble the child seat piece onto the same frame. It was awful to figure out how to get this apart, and the manual is not much help.
Terrible: • Assembly out of the box is frustrating and illogical. The visual manual is pretty near hopeless. • A total PAIT the fold and lift into your car boot. It folds up fairly compact… until you pick it up and it falls open partially. There’s no ratchet to keep it folded tightly, or even a simple strap to keep the folded chassis together. It’s reasonably heavy, so loading and unloading this will give you the sh*ts. You cannot just pick it up easily because it’s heavy enough to be awkward. You need to grab it at two locations, and then it falls open again part way. • On the subject of how it folds down, there’s no way to fold this so that the centre piece of the handle doesn’t get all scratched up and ruined on the ground. Consider-ing this is designed for outdoor use, it’s going to look shabby really fast. • The foot rest is too shallow and there’s very little to hook heels into. Seriously. It’s almost useless. It has a rounded shape too, so your kiddo’s feet will slide straight off it. Why no proper foot rests? Seems like a massive oversight. • As with many, many prams and strollers, if you’re tall it means you’re going to need the push handle fully extended, and if you’re tall you also know what that means: it’s wobbly and annoying. • It’s going to be fairly useless and have a very short usability window for my tall toddler. It just isn’t made for taller kids. If your kid is tall, you’ll have to buy another brand, or accept you’ll only get a couple of years of usability and this won’t serve as a pram to take on longer walks once the child is walking but can’t walk far. • The sun visor is fairly downward-facing once extended, and will only be useful for very short kids. If you extend it enough to cover their face from sun (which isn’t very far extended), you obscure their view. The issue is it seems to fold down more so than projecting outward in front to create maximum shaded area, it also folds up on itself on the inside, so the flaps of fabric fall downwards and obscure you child’s view. Again, this is something I’ve seen done successfully on far less expensive units so it shouldn’t be a big ask. • The rain cover has an opaque part and a clear part. The opaque part comes down way too far and obscures anything but a very short child’s view. For the love of god, just make the whole cover transparent! • Ironically, on the flipside of that is the mesh sun screen part of the regular sun cover. It’s up really high! And quite small, so not much of a view, particularly for shorter kids.
Downright infuriating and perplexing:
• What. In. Tarnation. Is the entirely cosmetic hood around the top of the child seat assembly even for? It has a zip, but it’s sewn up at one end and has no access to a zip slider body, so you cannot zip this piece off. Nothing attaches to it. It has absolutely no function… except to get in the way. In my case, this is EXTRA EXTRA annoy-ing and pointless, because it slants downwards and nearly hits my kiddo’s head, and it’s going to very soon mean she’s too tall for this pram unless I can take it off (she’s 15 months). It removes about 2 good inches of head space she would otherwise have. In a pram which is already not that suitable for taller toddlers, it forms the final nail in the coffin for usability. I am baffled about why this part is even fitted to the pram as it doesn’t seem to be necessary for the sun hood at all.
Overall Opinion
This pram is marketed as an all-terrain stroller, a claim I find a little bit of a stretch com-paring it to other dedicated all-terrain strollers such as the Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle.
I understand the change from the old-fashioned pneumatic wheels to sold rubber wheels necessitates suspension components. However, I’m not sure that combination actually achieves as good a ride as air-filled tyres and no suspension. The suspension itself is limited and doesn’t perform as well as you’d need it to in order to truly be “all-terrain”. It does of-ten get bogged when tipping the pram forward and placing the weight onto the front wheel suspension (for example on uneven footpaths), and will get stuck until the wheel flips around or you shuffle the pram weight. Whilst the ride is, in general, a smooth glide, this only extends as far as small undulations, and not up-and-down steps or curbs or slightly rockier paved surfaces (for instance, fine gravel is ok, but the larger blue metal or goat track type of surfaces will not be great as the benefit of the suspension is lost and the need for softer tyres comes into play).
The marketing claim of “Power Steering”, with much smaller subtext “It’s like power steer-ing for your pram”, is dubious, and frankly, annoying. As a woman, I find a lot of marketing guff is thrown towards us with the expectation we don’t know much about the technicalities or mechanics of what we’re buying. Empty claims like this elicit nothing but an eye-roll from me. (For the record, power steering is not even remotely related to features the pram manufacturer is talking about with this product, I’m not even sure how they think this would be a relevant claim other than to just assume complete idiocy of their mostly female customer demographic. There’s literally nothing on this pram that makes it steer any better than other all-terrain prams. It has wheels that swivel – like pretty much all other prams.)
While we’re on marketing claims, I’m still unclear what “advanced central joint suspension” there is. They seem to move slightly, however it just feels like the regular amount of give you’d get in an assembled pram of many parts.
“Strong yet light” – we-e-e-ell, I guess “light” is a relative term. It’s not as light as other all-terrain prams.
It’s main benefit is in it being an all-in-one pram assembly with a bassinet and a stroller seat configuration, which ultimately does save first time parents money and the hassle of owning two different prams. As with most things though, it comes down to your individual needs. For the taller parent (as well as taller children), there are much better options than this pram. The price point for this pram is very high considering the multitude of small grievances I have with it. As a comparison, my Valco Snap Ultra is only a little more annoy-ing, but retails at significantly less than half the price of the Fox2.
It’s not a good option for tall kids. At all. There’s a large period of time after most kids learn to walk where they can walk short distances, but will need to be pushed in the pram for longer distances. This can take some kids up to three or four, but if your child is tall, you might be lucky to use this until they’re two. It’s a big investment for only a couple of years, as you’ll need to purchase something else for the next few transitional years.
There are no instructional videos on the Bugaboo website, only a digital version of the same AWFUL manual you get in the box. You need to go to independent reviewers on Youtube for videos on how to assemble, fold and stow (which you WILL need).
Taking into account assembly from new, and level of difficulty in changing between child seat and bassinet, overall this pram seems quite a complicated set up for something that only achieves fairly standard functionality. The advertising would have you believe it’ll split the atom and then make you dinner, but it doesn’t actually do anything particularly special. The upholstery is still the generic kind of material you’d expect. There’s no extra level of comfort that would justify the luxury price tag.
As mentioned above, there’s a good range of OEM accessories to add to your Fox2 and personalise it. Although personally, I’m less interested in “customising” my pram (especially when it’s all at additional expense!) and more interested in things that just work really well. I also really resent having to buy more things for an already expensive purchase, just so I have functional things, like sun shades, that work properly.
Compatibility with third party capsules is a great feature, as there are some babies that just don’t like bassinets and want to be up front and centre seeing the world from really early on (or they’re asleep!).
This pram would benefit from two main changes: Make it a three-wheeler, and create a single assembly piece that is the bassinet and the child seat in one.
And you know what? If there was one pram in the market that catered to taller people really well (remembering dads are parents and use prams too!), I think it would be a big seller. I know from my discussions in tall groups online where we share info on great tall-friendly products around the world, the issue of prams and car seats comes up regularly. Most tall people will gladly pay more for well made, good quality equipment that suits their height.
Overall, I’m still choosing to use my 15 year old Mountain Buggy for exercise walks, rather than this. The Fox2 lives in my car for strolling around shopping centres or the odd shorter walk.

Amazing pram - Extremely safe! Easy to use with lots of amazing features! Your children will love it! – We couldn't be happier with our Bugaboo Fox 2! We have a new born girl who is only a few months and our second daughter is three years of age. The pram is perfect for the new born because it is such a smooth ride with many features built in to make it so easy to use and safe. It is also great for the three year old because we can take it on the… Read more · 1
beach or to places like Maroondah Dam. My three year old wanted to climb to the top of Maroondah Dam with me and I new she would want to be carried at some point so I walked the Bugaboo Fox 2 up with me and when she reached a point where she was not willing to walk further I just used the pram.
The best part about the Bugaboo Fox 2 for me is the safety! You can take it up and down very steep inclines like the walk up to the top of Maroondah Dam and you can change the settings on the wheels so it won't run away on you or turn quickly down the face of the incline.
The wheels come with suspension and a variety of different settings so that it can be very easy to manoeuvre or set to follow a very gentle line. Put the wheels on one setting you can turn the Bugaboo on a dime and on another setting it becomes like a Kayak gliding through the water where you just slightly lean or push gently on one side and it turns gently in that direction.
It is also so light and so easy to push around, up hills, down hills, up gutters, down gutters, up and down stairs through rough terrain and on straight paths. I am not sure why but imagine it has something to do with the size of the wheels, the suspension and the different settings that completely change the steering characteristics. Importantly, you can change the steering characteristics with the flick of a switch on the wheels.
The brakes and the steering control was what probably gave me the most piece of mind. Growing up I remember reading horror stories of prams being placed sideways on a hill and when a mother turns her back the pram turns down the incline of the hill and runs into a river. When the Bugaboo Fox 2 is left sideways on an incline of a hill with the sharp steering switched off, even without the brakes on, it doesn't (and can't) turn down the incline of the hill. The pram will remain sideways and won't move unless it is pushed, even without the brakes on. The thought of forgetting to put the brakes on once and turning around to see our child in a river was something that always worried me. That said, I generally try and put the brakes on for safety when I take my hands of the handle and the Bugaboo is on a hill for added safety. it is very easy to do by a simple push of the foot.
The one thing I would watch out for is if you use your hands to activate the brakes you might get your finger caught at the back. The brakes are designed to be which are activated by foot but I tried by hand while building the Bugaboo and I did pinch my finger at the back of the brakes.
Another great feature is the height of the basinet and the seat. The added height of the basinet is great for two reasons. Firstly, it enables very easy access to our baby girl when walking, changing nappies and the like. Even more importantly, we often take the Bugaboo Fox to Rosanna parklands along the train line and there are many dog owners walking what are very large dogs off the leash. This is very annoying but the thing that gives us so much comfort is our baby girl is out of reach of all the dogs while being safely tucked away in the basinet. Also, the sun shade on the basinet almost covers the entire basinet so it easy to make our little girl disappear and enjoy a nice sleep while being walked in the Bugaboo Fox 2. We use this often to put our baby girl to sleep when she doesn't seem to want to sleep. The other great feature is that the basinet has a hidden see through mesh which is easily revealed by lifting part of the canopy. This provides great comfort and can be uncovered when walking so your toddler can be protected from the elements while you watch her closely.
The rain coat/cover ensure that the Bugaboo Fox 2 is protected from all conditions, weather it be rain or snow. Although, we haven't had the chance to test the Bugaboo in the snow just yet. I might have to check whether you can add skis to the wheels although the wheels are so big it will seemingly roll through snow. We have had the opportunity to test the Bugaboo Fox 2 on the beach and it is great because we can take the whole family to the beach even when we have a child only a few months old. She is safely tucked away and protected from any swooping seagulls and people running around kicking sand up.
What was such a surprise is that we could fit nearly all our beach towels and bags in the under-seat bag. The space and strength of the under-seat bag was truly a welcome surprise. Looking at the under-seat bag you almost feel like jumping in and having a sleep after a long afternoon. There are also a number of hidden pockets on the basinet.
Another great feature is the extendable handles because my wife is much shorter than I am so when we take turns pushing the pram we can very easily adjust the height of the handles. I am quite tall and the height of the handles make it very comfortable for me to use. Another great feature as a result of the adjustable handles, combined with the suspensions, large wheels and steering controls is that it is very easy to run/jog with the pram while on paved footpaths or on gravel footpaths. Again, when switching from walking to running I adjust the height of the handles and this is a very simple task.
The Bugaboo Fox 2 is very easy to fold down, with a flick of a switch you then just pick it up from the handle and it falls into line. From there you just place it into the boot and you are ready to travel.
The seat is the best pram seat you will find and it can be positioned so your child is facing you or facing the world. This is a great function depending on where you are taking your family. The straps are very easy to use and very safe and secure. Also, given the added height we can keep our baby in the pram when we are eating at the table. This will be great when we are eating out but we haven't got to that stage just yet.
The pram was very easy to assemble and my wife rarely had to look at the manual ie she could put the pram together based on logic and just looking at the parts.
The look of the pram is amazing and the fabrics appear very strong and as if they would last through 50 years of use. It is quick big and looks safe and solid. The best comparison I have is by comparing a Harley Davidson motorbike to a normal motorbike that looks like it might blow over in the wind.
A really nice top end pram – Having had a good mid-range pram from née and also a second hand high end pram I was really excited to receive the Bugaboo for review. First thing was to assemble, I must say there are a lot of parts and it did take some time. The instructions could be a little clearer but it wasn’t too hard to work out. All the parts feel really well made and… Read more · 1
strong and both the bassinet and chair look very comfortable. I didn’t have need for the bassinet so went straight to chair set-up. First thing I noticed was how smooth it rolls, it really glides effortlessly. My other prams are an ultra-light and a double pram. This one felt quite large compared with my ultra-light with a larger foot print like the double pram but with less weight. At first this felt a little unwieldy but it did offer superior stability and tackled all terrain much better. The best thing for me was the large adjustment of the handle height. I’m over 6ft and my wife is 5ft. We have never found a pram that could be adjusted to suit us both. This pram easily covers us and would suit even shorter/taller folk. The suspension works well and our big boy looks comfortable in the seat. The seat can face both ways and has all angles of recline, you need to be a little careful as you can recline too far. Folding of the pram is not difficult but does take some practice. It takes up a larger footprint in the boot and like my other two prams is better to take the seat off first in smaller cars. This is really easy to do especially compared to our double which had to be dismantled into more than 2 parts. It’s like our ultra light in this regard and folds a bit flatter but because of the wider wheelbase takes up more boot space. Overall I really like this pram, it sure feels premium in every way. It feels super strong and has exceptional stability. The brake lock is also one of the best I’ve used. Oh and I really love how the shoulder straps sit up, they make securing your child just that little bit easier as you don’t have to fish around behind their backs trying to find the straps. If you’re after a premium pram with stability and comfort as the main priorities and have the room in your boot then I would thoroughly recommend this pram.
We purchased a Fox 2 secondhand to use with our nieces and nephews and it's brilliant, great pram and such a smooth push.
