The prams is bulky even when collapsed.. The bassinet is huge.. Barely fits in my car and the frame of the pram. Very nice to push and steer.. Super easy and soft.. However just too bulky and heavy. The capsule by bugaboo is also an absolute tank to carry
Purchased in November 2021 for $1,650.

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)

Read more□Big and bulky □Tedious to assemble □Handle bars aren't leather □Toddler seat does not have it's own frame (must take apart Bassinet to attach toddler seat) □Bassinet does not have security band for newborn □3 step finicky folding □Not much boot space left in car 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. **more videos available via link

I was lucky to be sent the new Bugaboo Fox 3 pram as part of the ieatwords 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 2022 just prior to the birth of our daughter (now 2.5 years old). This model is now superseded, but there are many 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 apparen...
Read moret 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).Hi Amanda99,

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 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 -...
Read more - 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.Purchased in September 2021.

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 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 ...
Read morehim 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.Purchased in September 2021.

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 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 h...
Read moread 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.Purchased in September 2021.

Questions & Answers
Hi! I bought a used runner since this is out of production and a new fox 3. I have the wrong adapter, but I don’t think it will fit with the fox adapter either. It looks like the runner attachment point is too narrow for the fox seat/bassinet. From what I can find online it should fit, but are there several generations runners? I’m based in Europe.
