Some areas are really good while others leans on dissapointing side.
Summary, ( ambassador review )
The manoeuvering seems easy enough even with one hand. The sun shade is humongous. Very very good. The wheels get stuck once a while. You need fingers with 6 packs to run some function smoothly. And eeeww wheel touch.
@@@@@My love love love
----The suspension wheels
Are awesome, more often than not the other prams I used thus far, will get stuck coming down a curb facing forward. So I usually have to turn around to go backwards down a curb. With this front suspension wheel, I manage to go forward down a curb smoothly enough very often even those curbs I got stuck with other prams easily.

----The sunshade I don't think there are any pram that covers so thoroughly are there ? It really does give your kid the protection they need. Even in recline position, the are safely covered from the sun. Though I would worry a bit about air circulation in there. I just pop in a portable fan near the feet. Ofcourse you have to do this safely. Make sure the fan don't get too hot, but otherwise its fine. ----The thigh support area. You know the part between inner knee and foot rest. That area is covered with fabric. It is a very thoughtful design which I can't emphasize enough how much I love it. It means that their small thighs are supported during reclined position and I know for sure they are not going to get tingles or numbness from their sleep. Many prams lack that and I previously have to position the legs a lot in a ninja way hoping not to wake the kid up. ----The bag The fabric is nice sturdy and not elastic. I put a lot of grocer shopping in it and it didn't sink and drag on the floor like a previous pram I have tried (rental pram). But judging from the quality, pretty sure that won't happen. I can access the side corner of the bag from whichever the seat is facing. Easily throw things in from the other side. Its big and can contain a lot. The only downside is you have to take everything out prior to folding. ----The look When I first got it, after it is completely set up, my husband just look at it and go "wow, this looks like a really luxury pram." It may be due to the brush aluminium or the width of the seat. He was in awe. ----The handle bar leathery feel, This is one of the thing many prams have as an add on purchase. They, on the other hand, came with. You will need this in winter months when the metal is so cold but you can't put your hands in your pocket, at least you don't have to touch something icy cold. ----Seat width My 2 year old sit on it very comfortably and enough space for his hands to be at the side spaciously enough. Having said that, he is an extreme preemie and falls on the smaller side. It still looks wider than other prams I have used. ----The extension for handle Wow, this is really tall. Really. I am 158 and it reach my chest. My husband who is quite a bit taller really appreciate the height of handle bar. ----Front wheels lock Just a little thoughtful something. That the locks are hidden at the back of the wheels, not the front. So you won't brush into things and set it on lock by accident, at least not so much. @@@@My not love. ----Reclined seat( very personal due to height? Or finger strength ?) Is a very welcomed function needed for all prams. While this seat is thoughtful with the thigh support. The mechanism to recline it on the other hand kind of floop. That said, my husband have no issue reclining and putting it back up. I on the other hand could never do it properly. My fingers are not very long. Definitely not piano fingers. Because I have to push both buttons ( which is already quite stucky with baby weighted on it. You have to push the seat just a little backwards so you can push both button in easier. ) So with both side buttons pushed, my fingers can hardly reach the area you need to lift or push to recline the seat. My fingertips can bent on them buy hardly the strength to support kid's weight. I need to train my fingeds for all of them to have six packs each in order to be able to recline the seat without using my head it push the seat back. It was just awkward. It would be easier if it is a one button thing, so the other hand can recline the seat. Also, a few times I push my head hard enough the seat was too reclined. The head was a bit lower than the bum ( is that even suppose to happen ?) and I have to lift it back. ----Folding You almost always touch the wheels when you fold it completely. Don't really like touching these, just isn't that hygienic. Considering fecal matter been found on most under side of shoe, I hardly think wheels are that different. So it feels like a design floop to me too. ----Wheels direction. I go backwards, and the front wheel turn around. Almost every time when this happens I can't push forward anymore. It does not turn back properly. I often have to go to the front and kick the wheels sideways a little so I can move. Too often for me to ignore this. ----The buttons or rather, mechanism Those you have to press, push, lift etc. Its hard to get both side running smoothly at the same time. And you need both side to work. The brake, there is a stuck point, often I have to go backwards a bit to release something like a spring inside, in order for me to move again after I release the brake. So all these buttons aren't smooth and could be a pain when you use the pram every single day. There is a learning curve, you will eventually know how hard or how far you got to release, move, push whatsoever for the buttons to work properly. It is a pretty steep learning curve however. ----Scandinavian furniture set up. Reading the instruction manual for set up reminds me of Ikea furniture set up. Unfortunately though, I am very familiar with Ikea furniture, but not the pram. It is not a very easy take out flick 2 wheels or 4 wheels and go. You have to put many pieces together. ----Seat height. My sons height is less than 90cm. About 87 or 86. His head is touching the top of the seat where the cover is. Because of that, it takes some skill to put him on a pram when he is already sleeping on me. I don't think he can use this pram much longer even though he is far from the prams weight limit. He is only about 11 kg now, far from the 23kg limit.

I really wanted to like this pram but..
This is my first bugaboo pram, sent to me to review. My own well-used prams are the Uppababy Vista, Babyzen Yoyo and Mountain Buggy Nano, so I am familiar with the pros and cons of a full size pram, very compact travel stroller and everyday stroller.
At first glance it's easy to be confused between the Bugaboo Lynx and Fox - they look similar, are similarly priced, and even the Lynx's manual seems to be a little confused! The early version of the instructions I received had quite a number of errors (with references to non-existent parts, web ...Read more
pages for the Fox in stead of the Lynx, and slightly different designs), however hopefully these will be addressed by the time it's generally available. The Lynx comes in a single box, which (for a full size pram) is great for getting it home in a small car. The downside of this is that it also means there are many bits to assemble! I can however attest that the wife figured everything out and everything fit together perfectly fine. The pram has a good, mid-to-full sized configuration, narrow enough to wheel through tight spaces and narrow shopping aisles, but includes a fair size basket that can fit a couple of bags of groceries. While it has loads more space than the smaller Yoyo and Nano, it's still significantly less than the Vista. Its wheelbase is also considerably shorter than the Vista, which means I'm more comfortable taking it on the train during peak hour. It comes configurable from newborn to toddler - the bassinet is included, and the seat can be parent facing or switched around to forward facing. At 9.4kg this pram is lightweight, and is easy to open up and pack down - though it can be a bit awkward unfolding the pram as it requires two hands to press the release buttons on either side of the handle bar.Purchased in January 2021.

Stylish and functional but has a few issues with folding.
Prior to receiving this pushchair/pram to review I had been using a baby jogger city select. My youngest is now 1 so we didn't get to try out the pram function of the bugaboo but it looks good.
This is by no means a bad pram and I was delighted to receive it but I still prefer my old one. The biggest issue for me with this pram is the folding/unfolding. Despite having had nearly a month's practice getting it into and out of the car it still causes me to utter the occasional 'naughty daddy word'!
Good points.

A beautiful pram but doesn't quite hit the mark...
The Bugaboo Lynx arrived with an easy to follow instruction booklet, and great rain cover. It was relatively easy to put together and is a very sleak looking pram. I was particularly impressed by the sturdiness of the bassinet and seat. It is light and easy to push for the most part and the suspension makes for a comfy ride for my son. I didn't have any issues using on the footpath or grass.The bassinet mattress feels very comfortable and my son enjoys napping on our walks. The mattress cover is very easy to clean (photo attached). The size of...Read more
the canopy is fantastic; however, there is no window so I have to pull it up to check on my son which sometimes would wake him. I found the storage basket to be a good size. You can tilt the bassinet; however, I didn't find much use for this as my son just slid down as he is quite young. I swapped to the seat and really liked the ability to tilt the seat back so my son could sleep or sit up to see what is going on; however, it is particularly difficult the move the seat from reclined to upright as you need to push 2 x buttons in on either side and pull it down at the same time. I had to get a friends help. Despite the many positive features of the pram there are a number of issues I encountered that let the pram down: I was dissapointed to find after a few weeks one of the buttons fell off the frame; however, it hasnt impacted the use of the pram as the button is one of two needed to fold the pram. One of the back wheels has begun sticking after the break is used. I have started to have to kick the wheel to get it moving. One of the front wheels also sticks when turning (I made sure the break wasn't on) The main issue I have with the pram is how difficult it is to remove the bassinet and seat as it's quite fiddly - the difficulty does support the fact it is a very sturdy pram. It would be great if you could use the bassinet and seat interchangeably; however, it uses the same frame so it's not possible. Overall, a very nice pram but the difficulty in removing the seat and bassinet, the sticking wheels and there being no window for the canopy have let it down.

Bugaboo are the Ferrari of prams!
This pram is a game changer!! I LOVE IT. I can’t imagine life without it now..
It is so lightweight, ridiculously lightweight.. even to push with a 9kg child in it. It pushes so smoothly over all surfaces, gravel, bitumen, paved footpaths, dirt/rocky paths and uneven cemented footpaths. It is honestly not like any pram I’ve used before. It’s light as a feather, in total it only weighs 9.2kg!! Amazing! I am 30 weeks pregnant and don’t have an issue folding/unfolding or picking it up to put in and out of the car, I did it rather effortlessly. I...Read more
didn’t notice going over bumpy/uneven surfaces like I have with my previous pram. The suspension is fab! Even my partner would keep trying to take the pram off me to push because it was just so amazing. He’s a car/truck man and he couldn’t fault it at all. The wheels are puncture proof, which is really wonderful with all the different kinds of terrain we go over it’s nice to not have to worry about puncturing the tires. Front wheels are lockable also as well as obviously the back break. It looks so beautiful and sleek. It does look like the high end pram that it is. I do love that there are colour options for what suits your taste and you can switch them in and out as you desire. The large storage basket underneath looks deceiving but it will hold plenty! Pretty simple to put together also. It comes with a very extensive user manual with picture instructions for setup with the seat and bassinet attachments. The seat is adjustable with 3 positions to keep older babies and kids happy and comfy. And you can face it rearwards or forwards. Not once did my daughter look uncomfortable or whinge about being in the pram for too long like she sometimes does. I do really love how far the sunshade extends. It is amazing, I could fully cover my daughter from the sun and only see little toes poking out. Also the rain cover is so snug and fits perfectly, other brands are just like a sack over the pram but this is made to fit it perfectly, no over hang to worry about getting in the way of wheels etc

The Bugaboo Lynx is lightweight pram, as it weighs only 9.4kg. sleek, easy to use, and includes quality parts and attention to detail. Highly manoeuvrable and smooth strollsit’s incredibly durable without the extra weight so you can effortlessly lift in and out of the car or up and down the stairs.

Stylish, light weight, easy to move. Excellent stroller for traveling and everyday use.
I currently have a Joolz geo 2 but was sent the bugaboo lynx to review from the ambassador program.
The stroller was relatively easy to assemble and surprisingly large, very light weight and appeared strong and sturdy. It has a very luxurious appeal to it with its sleek yet stylish design and features an extra large sun canopy that offers full sun protection.
The stroller was comfortable, smooth and extremely easy to manoeuvre with one hand.
Pros:
- The stroller can easily be folded with or without the seat and is compact enough to stall ...Read more
