Loved this pram

Cameleon 3rd Gen

I love this pram as it was extremely lightweight so easy to transport in the car. It was easy to fold away and I loved how you could have your child facing you. The only drawbacks is that there was not massive storage underneath the pram and you had to take apart the frame to change it from bassinet to toddler chair.

Best pram ever!!!

Cameleon 3rd Gen

My husband and I bought the bugaboo cameleon pram for our second child and and have since given it to my sister for her baby. The pram is easy to maneuver, doesn't take up a lot of space in the boot and nothing goes wrong with it. Customer service is amazing when ordering extra accessories. Best buy we made!! Worth the money and if you want to resell, you'll get a good price!

Love it but could be improved.

Cameleon 3rd Gen

I love how it's so light, I can push it with one hard and it's such a smooth ride, the fold down, even tho two piece fold is easy and it fits in my commadore with ease, leaving room for groceries etc.
Downsides are the two white buttons to sit and lay the seat back are tedious and occasionally jam. Also, when using the basinet, the under basket is rendered useless.

perfect pram for baby

Cameleon 3rd Gen

My girl loves it, she could sleep and stay happy in this pram. One thing I love it most is the flexibility of the wheels, it 's really important when you hold baby in one hand and trying to push the pram by another. The only pity is that the gap of storage space beneath is too slim to put in stuff.

Perfect

Cameleon 3rd Gen

We have had ours for 15 months now and love it to bits. It’s easy to use on any terrain, lightweight and I love the large canopy, including the summer one. The bassinet option was in use for 5.5 months, also great. The storage bag is big - hard to reach with bassinette on, but no biggie as you change to the seat pretty quickly and then it is easy to reach. Seat has 3 reclines and can be used forward and backwards facing. Pure love. On a recent trip our bus had an accident, a few people fell over but our pram did not move and Bub was totally fine. Worth every penny.

Simple, easy to use and many parts to purchase

Cameleon 3rd Gen

very easy to move around, fold and excellent built quality.
many parts and easy assembly that last many generations.

works with maxi cosi air and clips well.

Steam clean for regular use. larger than other pram.
there are many colour choices but prepare to pay premium.

the handle bar leather cover is a must .

Great pram easy to use

Cameleon 3rd Gen

Easy to manoeuvre this pram due to wheels being able to go on all terrains. Easy to put into the car and fold up. Happy with the quality. I have a grey cover and it looks really good. Only problem is the carry part at the bottom can’t be used with bassinet as you can’t fit goods into it, it’s too close.

February 22nd 2018 Update: great pram but too heavy

i love wheeling my pram around however it is so heavy and annoying to get in and out of the car. i wish i had of bought a lighter pram and am considering buying the babyzen yoyo even though she is only 7 months old. looks very stylish ill give it that. could do with a better basket too. hard to fit things into

Lonely pram

Cameleon 1st Gen

I was panicing when i first had to go pram shopping they all look so complicated and techie but the bugaboo is nice and compact and also super easy to fold down and pop into the boot. My bub loves it as it has 3 reclining positions and a good shade hood. Have got a little fading on hood but thats just normal wear and tear otherwise still looks fab.

Super duper

Cameleon 3rd Gen

What a wonderful pram, me and my husband have gone through about 3 prams so far with durability 2 kids and a lots of strolls to the beach its kept intact, the price a little bit steep but all the well worth it, great features and folds down to a nice size

Great pram, good handling, does its job!

Cameleon 3rd Gen

Purchased this pram as it was highly reviewed with friends, forums and peers. Originally was considering the Bee3 but on trial the seat and handle bars are too low for my husband (who is quite tall). Chose this pram also for it's bassinet, front/rear facing and the different seat positions. Downside is that the bassinet is HUGE! and all the parts make it very inconvenient to fit into the boot. Nonetheless does its job! Will be considering a travel stroller when bub gets a bit older...

It was a good pram

Cameleon 2nd Gen

It is a good pram, the only down fall with it is that it takes up a lot of room when folded down as it has to be pulled into 2, other than that it has been a great reliable pram! I love the fact that you can do both ways facing and the 3 different seat positions

Not the best

Cameleon 2nd Gen

I am honest, it is a very expensive pram and it shuold be also a very good pram but I saw better pram for half price. I would like complain regarding the spare part price as well. I had to buy a simple clips and I payed it 60 dollars .

Does the job

Cameleon 3rd Gen

This pram is easy to manouever and looks great.
It is very hard to get to the storage underneath, which I find very annoying. I can barely get my nappy bag in and out.
It's relatively easy to fold, but you must take the top off and I find it bulky to fit in the boot.

Easy to fold and stored in the boot of our cars. Easy to assemble and keep the baby happy. Easy to stir at the shops. Nice size when going to the supermarkets. Good large compartment under the pram to fit all the groceries. We had 7 prams before we invested in the bugaboo, can't fault it

Good pram but glad I got it on clearance

Cameleon 3rd Gen

Nice smooth pram for local walking / shop browsing etc. I like the fact it comes with a bassinet and a seat. Not good for any kind of terrain - forget the cameleon and go straight for the buffalo if you plan walks anywhere other than local smooth footpaths and shopping malls.

The basket is not good at all, it's very small and difficult to put things in or out even the rain cover. The rain cover is great, covers the whole seat / bassinet and has holes to let breeze in.

I'm not a fan of the two-piece fold with the bassinet, it's inconvenient and takes up a lot of space. In fact, it doesn't fit in my car boot at all. Haven't tried it with the seat yet as my baby is still in the bassinet.

Not worth the money

Cameleon 3rd Gen

Used for only half yr and the brake suddenly broke,went to baby bunting but was told it may not be covered by warranty,isn't the brake the most important thing that needs to be covered?still waiting for reply fr bugaboo,but not really happy paid thousands for the kind of quality.

The seat is also too small for toddler,my son is 1 and half,and he is almost outgrow of the stroller.

Cameleon 3rd Gen

hestitated between bee and cameleon and finally chose cameleon as it's bigger and looks more steady,jowwver my child is 1and half and is almost grow out of it,not easy for folding and put back on the car as it's not a one piece and a bit heavy for me,would try other brands for the next stroller

Drives like a dream but lacks storage

Cameleon 3rd Gen

I used the bugaboo for both my children and loved it, the capsule connectivity makes it so easy with a newborn. We hardly used the basinet option, but made lots of use of the toddler seat. It drives beautifully, it's smooth and easy to steer as it has a great turning circle making it good in tight spaces. The only downsides are the basket underneath is small and hard to use with the capsule attachment.

Pricey but worth it

Cameleon 3rd Gen

Firstly it's easy to assemble. The base structure is sturdy and the seats are comfortable so I feel safe having my baby in there. The brakes are easy to use with just a flick of a switch on the side of the handlebar. It has very smooth maneuverability and is able to turn easily in tight spaces. Another great function is that it can be dismantled into two parts which is great if you don't own a big car.

Versatile, high class and family friendly

Cameleon 3rd Gen

The original and the best of the Bugaboos, the Cameleons have proven that they will last for generations. The ability to tailor the colours to suit your personal style is a bonus, it is a full travel system with the capsule, bassinet and seat, and can add a board for an older sibling. Been very happy with this purchase.

Great pram we love it

Cameleon 3rd Gen

We have had this for a few months and have found it very easy to use wherever we go. I am used to now folding in into the 2 pieces you get the hang of it. It's a lovely looking pram too, and the accessories are great. I feel like it's a very safe design and would recommend it.

Excellent pram for baby and parent!

Cameleon 3rd Gen

Had this since baby born and my son is almost 2yrs old now still love it! It's very easy to handle even with one hand and very sturdy! But I don't like the form rotating carry handle, very easy to get messy and hard to clean! I will upgrade to leather one when next the baby come! Other than that are perfect!

Great maneoverability

Cameleon 3rd Gen

Quality and ability to maneuver and travel over rough terrain is excellent with this pram and looks very sophisticated. My only dislike is that it is a 2 piece pram so can be quite annoying to get in and out of the car and takes up a lot of boot space

Cameleon 3rd Gen

It is easy to control and turn around. It takes some effort to fold. Because you need to separate into two parts before you fold. And it is a little bit too heavy for slim mums to lift into or out of the trunk. But baby quite enjoy the pram.

Perfect pram for first time mums.

Cameleon 3rd Gen

Great pram for first time mums, love that there is a wide variety of accessories (hoods, pram liners, wheelie board, etc)
Great to maneuver around shopping isles, great for walking on bumpy paths, front little wheels can become stuck a little if you are to go over a small pot hole but very rarely.

Sturdy, reliable and looks swish!

Cameleon 3rd Gen

Beautiful pram/bassinet which is very easy to manoevre on all types of terrain. Comes in 2 separate components which is slightly bothersome as you need to assemble and disassemble each time you use it and pack it away in the boot of your car, but that can sometimes be a benefit as each piece is lighter than the whole pram put together. Easy to use but can take a bit of getting used to e.g. showing grandparents how to disassemble and use the breaks etc.

Con- two piece fold.

Over all high quality pram

Good looking pram

Cameleon 3rd Gen

I have been using the pram for almost 8months now and I find that the Cameleon 3 is quite easy to maneuver even with one hand. It is a beautiful pram (i have the diesel limited edition). At first, I find the folding annoying, having to remove the seat and the frame but over time I got the hang of it and it doesn't bother me now. I love how sturdy it is without being too bulky. Bub seems happy and content with his seat. I just wished they provided a bigger basket underneath.

Had this over six years & still in good condition.

Cameleon 1st Gen

This product is the original and complaints I know they've changed in the current model (one hand collapse etc) but I bought this for my first baby over six years ago. I've had to replace a few things, which were so easy to d online. Brakes I replaced, wheels and I bought new leather handlebar covers etc. but it's gone through four children & still looks good. I think it's worth the money especially if you will use it for multiple children.

Nice

Cameleon 3rd Gen

Easy to manouver. Easy to fold out and to put away.
Has a lot of accessories that can prove to be very expensive.
Wheels are smooth, the build quality is exceptional.
It is very expensive to buy, but i wouldn't hesitate to purchase again. Resale value is also a positive.

Good quality, suitable for all type of road

Cameleon 3rd Gen

Bought this for our first child. Easy fold, the basneit just perfect size and esay to remove or put on. You can also buy extra accessories for this pram. eg: little bags, umbrellas. we bought the one with light blue color cover, as my wife like this color. you can actually buy/change a different color hoodie (top cover) when you have a second child. The red ones is very popular color

Best pram in the market.

Cameleon 3rd Gen

This would be my second Bugaboo Cameleon pram as I used the second gen for my first child and decided to buy the third gen for my second child.
It's lightweight so you can pick it into the car with ease.
Super easy to maneuver, can be done with a single hand.
The unfolding has become even simpler compared to the second gen.
Overall it's the pram choice for me as it's easy to use, lightweight, has a huge basket underneath the pram.

Very sturdy but heavy as hell

Cameleon 2nd Gen

The steering and solidness is by far the best of any pram I have tried. And after five years it still looks great (covers wash really well in the washing machine). Love the skateboard too.

The only downside is getting it out of the car. It is so heavy and even after a looooot of practice I still find putting it together and apart a major pain. I have since bought a gb qbit for the car and save the chameleon for walking/local shops etc.

This is too heavy

Cameleon 3rd Gen

It's quite easy to maneuver, whenever i have something unsure, i can easily find the solution on youtube as there are heaps of video online. I don't find hard to fold, unfold and carry as its mostly one button operation. Quality wise it's good but quite overpriced in my opinion. I don't like the weight as it's over 10kg, i cannot put in and take off from car without help from others.

That is perfect!

Cameleon 2nd Gen

It looks great and love the accessories although they are really very expensive! The pram feels solid, sturdy and is easy to maneuver. Baby loves to sit in the seat and always seems comfortable. First pram I purchased as a first time mum and I am quite impressed with the pram. It's easy to fold however the frame is quite heavy when carrying it into the car by my own. I hope it can be more lighter for the mums to use.

When I was pregnant, my husband was doing some research about the best pram we could afford. The pram is better than I thought. It is easy to fold, unfold and carry. It is just a little bit heavy for mums. And I am very pleased with the build quality.

big but reliable

Cameleon 3rd Gen

it is easy to manoeuvre and quite sturdy
canbe unfold into 2 pieces. so far i'm using the bassinet and it is quite big and takes lots space in my sedan. my baby is nearly 3 months and want to see more out of the bassinet but all he can see it safety tags...i wish it could be tilted or higher positioned to help the reflux as well...
anyway it is a good pram, of course, expensive too(same as all the prams...)
