BeeIt was a good purchase for us and our needs (ability to get in and out of taxis when alone, fit through narrow streets/shops), although I probably wouldn't buy again as we're now needing to buy a new pram so soon.
Light-weight, narrow so great for shopping ailes. Easy to put in the back of a taxi. Love the way you can put a car seat on top. Looks great.
The video on the website showing how easy it is to use is quite misleading... Takes a lot longer to make the changes (e.g. position, collapse etc.) and it's not a one hand job. They do loosen up
Good
BeeOverall I love the bee, it's a small pram, i can get through the smallest shopping isles, i look at some of the larger prams and wonder how you would get through some places. I love how we can go out and eat and push the pram to the side without issues about the pram being too big . I know it's an expensive pram but i've made good use out of it and my baby loves it.
It's a nice and small pram, I was looking for something that was light weight and a pram that didn't take much boot space. I love how it only takes half of our boot.
The only issue
... Read morei have with it is when i fold the bee the handle sometimes folds in with it, which one day i think it could snap off? At the end of the day it's just a handle which helps u hold the pram to put into the car, but i might give bugaboo a call and tell them as i think it shouldn't do that since it's such an expensive pram, i'd hate it if it snaps off..

BeeThis is by far our favourite pram/stroller, although it would not have taken much to beat the Phil and Teds - it was a disaster. After studying the product review website, amazon, test driving at the pram shop and thrlough previous experience this stroller has everything you need in a long term pram investment. It has enough recine for a newborn to fall asleep comfortably and whilst some have mentioned its overall height for when baby grows taller, my five year old can fit into! Not giving it a 5, just because of the slight difficulty in col
... Read morelapsing, but havent has an issue with this recently. I viewed a lot of strollers before settling on this one, this is our fourth child and will be my fourth pram. I am extremely happy with the Bee, it is sooooo easy to manoeuvre, doesnt take up to much boot space, our baby likes facing me and it is not to heavy when putting in the boot. Collapsing was difficult in the beginning, but has improved over time. Problem was overcome by re-reading manual and I think time and use helping to loosen mechanisms
Excellent
BeeOf all the baby items I purchased in preparation for our bub buying the bee was one of the best choices I made. I have a bad back so I wasn't keen on the idea of lifting a heavy pram in and out of the car. I admit I had some difficulty getting it up and down to start with but once you know how to do it properly it's actually really easy (it helps to read the instructions first). The only time I had problems with it was when I wanted to buy a big box of nappies and had no where to put it!
I bought the cocoon to go with it and our baby loved
... Read moreit as a new born, it was still fairly cold when she was born and the cocoon's nice and snug. But it's too hot to use it now, plus she's starting to get too big for it at 14 weeks. I wouldn't recommend getting the cocoon if you're bub is due in summer, she started fitting in the pram without the cocoon at about 10 - 12 weeks. Light - easy to get in and out of the car. Smooth and easy to maneuver. It is compact and is really good for cafes and restaurants. It fits through check outs. It looks good. Not much storage, can't put bulky items on the hood - but that would defeat the purpose of being light and compact. Being so smooth it's not good for getting a baby to sleep!Our baby is in the 90th percentile for her length so I'm not sure how long she'll fit into it.

BeeI researched prams for 6 months. My criteria were that a pram must be light and I must be able to face my baby. I initally didn't want a bugaboo because I thought they were too embarrisingly flashy but then I discovered that they were highly functional and that you do indeed get what you pay for. I have had my bee for four months now and cannot rave highly enough about it. I go walking everyday to lose the baby weight and having such a light functional pram makes walking such an incentive. Yes it's expensive, but I justify it because it's ch
... Read moreeaper than a gym membership and it's a sure-fire way to lose the kilos. My pram came with the red canopy and I would not choose this colour again as it casts a red glow over baby's face. It is also a bit stuffy. So we bought the sun canopy which is silver and lets a lot of airflow through the sides. We haven't taken this off since we purchased the pram. The drink holder is a must if you plan on doing a lot of walking. This pram is cheaper and lighter than the Chameleon and can be folded in one peice. Very light. Easy to manouvre in the smallest spaces. Most importantly can face baby when you are walking. Looks sporty/trendy The coloured canopys can be a little stuffy/claustrophobic.
Excellent
BeeNot as "all-terrain" as the Cameleon, but the Bee is certainly a pleasure for around town. Cerrtainly should be considered as an all-in-one package rather than purchasing a pram then an umbrella-type stroller when baby is older.
Light, very manouverable, easy to use. Fits in supermarket aisles. Good to take to functions such as weddings due to its small footprint. Very reasuring five point harness for baby. Ability to have baby facing you or the world.
My stroller is from overseas, and as such has a white brake pedal that gets dirty easily.
Excellent
BeeOverall it is a fantastic pram that I would highly reccomend. Can be used from birth if you purchase the foot muff. Easy to use around town and very easy to push!
Fantastic city pram to use in the shopping centre and out and about. Light weight and compact - very easy to manouver with great suspension. It is a comfortable ride for both the pushing parent and baby in the pram. The rain coat/shield is absolutly fantastic - I got stuck in a downpour while baby was asleep and absolutley no water got in - WOW.
Very hard to "figure out" initially. On

BeeBugaboo Bee is fantastic. We have a Chameleon as well but what with me being pregnant with my second one and we thought it will be easier for me to handle the bee when going out with the little man and a big belly. It was! We had to buy it from the US in March this year but it was well worth it. Easy to fold and fit in the car. We have a hatch back so that leaves more room for other things as supposed to Chameleon which is 2 pieces. Very easy to unload and load too. Fantastic manoevourability. Much lighter than other prams. Great lookin
... Read moreg stroller. Always get stopped when out and about and people asking to push. They were all surprised at how light and easy to push and how good looking it is. Light, Easier to fold as its practically a one step process as compared to the Cameleon. Easy to manoevoure. Big enough for my 1.5 years old son who looks more like he is 2, and comfortable.

Beemy daughter is 8 and when she was born i had (and still have) an emmaljunga coronado, have loved this pram and didnt think anything could compare, I now have an 8mth old son and the emmaljunga has been great for him but now with him sitting up, the weight of it and the room it takes up in the car and the size of it i went researching other prams. I came across the bee, being sad it wasnt available in oz i started researching it more and how i could get it shipped, but low and behold i came across one on ebay, and it was in perth!! THIS PRAM IS
... Read moreAWESOME!!! I never thought anything could compare to emmaljunga but WOW the bee is just so beautiful, the basket underneath is huge, the seat is very comfy, the hood is absolutley fabulous... is almost fully encases bub and is extremely protective of bub. also the one system fold is so very easy to use, and it has a carry handle!! bugaboo have thought of everything for the parent on the go with this pram. You have to see one in the flesh to admire its stylish finnish, the video and pics on the website dont do it justice. mine is karki colour and it looks so swish. im in love!!! Its a pity its not available in oz yet, but at least i know i can go to the shops and feel a little exclusive for a while until they are sold here!!! sorry about the rant but it is just SO NICE! absolutley everything!!its compact when folded, looks so nice, so so so so easy to push, lightweight very very stylish absolutley nothingFind out how Bugaboo Bee compares to other 4-Wheel Prams & Strollers

BeeFantastic little pram, perfect for shopping, fits tons in the basket!Easy to fold and gorgeous to steer.
The seat really needs to be wider, and softer. Other than that if you dont mind buying from overseas and paying the price for it, its a great buy!
- Huge basket- Nice big hood-Lovely to steer-Easy to fold-Child can face parent or the world-Height adjustable handle
-Seat difficult to turn around-Seat is hard, needs a liner-Seat is very narrow on the 07 model, my 8 month old nearly looks squashed-Expensive for what it is- Expensive accessories
