Bugaboo Bee
I really wish this post was about my new stroller and about how much I like it, but unfortunately we already own three pushchairs (a Bugaboo Cameleon, a Maclaren Quest and an in-line double Graco) and there is no chance I can convince my husband we really need another one.
But, if I was going to buy a new single stroller I would definitely go for the Bee, the latest addition to the Bugaboo family. I’m not saying that it is the best pushchair for everybody, but from what I have seen it would be pretty good for city living. It’s cool, it’s compact, it’s light and extremely maneuverable (it really does turn on a penny!).
I had a look at it a few times in a shop and I made my 3-year-old son sit on it, and he declared it very comfortable. It does not have the big rear wheels of the Cameleon but on the other hand it is much more convenient to fold so it is more suitable for somebody that uses a car on a daily basis. It is just one piece (no bassinet) but you can get a few accessories that make it suitable for a newborn (in the winter too).
I have not heard much about quality and durability but it seems that over the years the Bugaboo products have shown a pretty good record.
Plus, I do not know how popular the Bee is in your area, but it would definitely stand out from the crowd in Milan!

Hello Michela, thank you for this post – the bee is just amazing – the fashion editor of l’Officiel in France just bought one from us and dedicated a whole page to this stroller in the last issue of le Petit Officiel, the children’s special edition.
Delivery is free in Europe for the Bugaboo strollers on LFG this month – not that i am advertising for my site though i though this could be interesting for some of your readers to know that they can place their order from the comfort of their chair, and be delivered to their home without the hassle of going into store!
take care

for all the reason you mentioned and some more we bought and own the bugaboo bee and i love it
it is so handy, looks good and my daughter really likes it
since we have the bee she is much calmer (maybe coincidence) sitting in her buggy
Hey Peggy we have the Bee too, aren’t they great! It took a bit of getting used too (especially after the Chameleon) but its great to zip around the streets of Paris (and tiny aisles). Super cute too!
Our Elsie (8 months) loves her Bugaboo Bee. We live in the city (Seattle) and this stroller is perfect for maneuvering sidewalks, shops, and crosswalks. Very nimble, very strong, easy to use.
It’s not that great for 4-wheeling across parks, lawns, or gravel paths, but that’s not what this stroller was designed for.
Elsie gives it 2 thumbs up.
