I like the push and I like that I can swivel/ get in and quietly out of aisles etc. while shopping. LO loves going in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-bugaboo-cameleon#post-1672696 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:54:03 +0000 heartonastring 1672696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: @septca: Thanks! I totally hadn't thought of that. Hmmmmm....I wish I would have been more choosy when I first bought our stroller :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-bugaboo-cameleon#post-1672638 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:37:37 +0000 septca 1672638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Second what you are saying about parent-facing. I kept DD facing me until about 15 months and now she will NOT have it. She much prefers to face out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-bugaboo-cameleon#post-1672634 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:35:18 +0000 hilsy85 1672634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@heartonastring: these are the pros and cons that I saw when I looked at the bugaboo:<br /> cons: you have to take the seat off to fold it; this could be annoying if you are folding it on a regular basis to put it in a car or store it. It also doe not stand upright when folded.<br /> - I felt like the seat was low--I'm 5'7" and I felt like I had to hunch over to reach the baby in the seat<br /> - the under carriage basket is not that big<br /> - the sunshade is not that big--most ppl I know who have one had to purchase a secondary shade to go on the hood of the stroller, or they use A&amp;A blankets<br /> Pros:<br /> the suspension/push is AWESOME. It's super smooth<br /> - it's super cute looking<br /> - I like the hand brake and the extendable handlebar<br /> - it's slimmer/sleeker than other strollers in the same category (vista, city select, etc)</p> <p>I ultimately went with an UB vista but if I had been able to get such a great deal on a bugaboo, I might have gone with that! </p> <p>I do wonder how often you'll be using the parent facing option though? your LO is over 1 right? I find that LO is generally much happier facing out, and he can climb in/out of the stroller more easily with it facing out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-bugaboo-cameleon#post-1672626 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:31:21 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1672626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a UBV and a Chameleon (it stays at my mom's house). When I'm using the Bugaboo I curse it and wish that I had my UBV.<br /> The only thing I prefer on the Bugaboo is the ability to switch the handle direction instead of having to switch the seat like the UBV.<br /> The fold is a pain and I have to relearn it every time. The basket is too small and a pain to access.</p> <p>And now with #2 coming I thankful that I can just add a seat to the UBV instead of running out to buy a whole other stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-bugaboo-cameleon#post-1672617 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:27:57 +0000 heartonastring 1672617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: Okay, good to know, as I'm 5'10". I also like the fact that your LO is happy to sleep in it...that would definitely come in handy as we plan to do some longer day trips over the summer!</p> <p>@septca: I know, right?! There aren't any B-Readys listed on any of my local classifieds right now (or UBVs which I'd also consider) or I'd totally check them out too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-bugaboo-cameleon#post-1672610 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:24:41 +0000 septca 1672610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@heartonastring: I still love my B-R more than I love BFF's Bugaboo, but $350?!?!?!?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-bugaboo-cameleon#post-1672605 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:24:13 +0000 Greentea 1672605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I FREAKING LOVE IT! Honestly I use it every.day. We walk everywhere, so it is like my car. I am tall, so I needed something that would have a raised bar. LO begs to go in it and loves to sleep in it (=priceless!) DH loves it as well- it is easy to use... I got it because I only wanted one stroller and it has been a great purchase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-bugaboo-cameleon#post-1672603 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:23:41 +0000 heartonastring 1672603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: Okay, but what if I told you I could get the Bugaboo for $350?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-bugaboo-cameleon#post-1672592 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:19:18 +0000 septca 1672592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@heartonastring: Ha ha. Okay. I was totally confused, too.</p> <p>Honestly? I would get a B-READY before I got a Bugaboo. It's about 1/2 the price and I like it better. I have the B-Ready and my BFF has the Bugaboo... she says she does not like how low the seat sits... plus she likes the second seat options on the B-Ready. But I am totally biased because I LOVE my stroller (almost as much as I love Subscribe and Save, which is my other passion of the day...). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-bugaboo-cameleon#post-1672583 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:14:29 +0000 heartonastring 1672583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Oops...I meant B-Agile...I'm forever confusing the two :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-bugaboo-cameleon#post-1672514 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 09:50:12 +0000 Anagram 1672514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@heartonastring: just curious---what do you mean when you say parent facing option? I have a B ready too, and I've only used it as parent-facing so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-bugaboo-cameleon#post-1672477 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 09:37:22 +0000 heartonastring 1672477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Britax B-Ready and it's fine, but I don't like that it doesn't have a parent-facing option. We babywear a lot, but there are also times when a stroller is necessary and I hate not being able to talk to DD because she's facing away from me.</p> <p>A Bugaboo Cameleon was just posted on a local online classifieds site and I'm seriously considering it. </p> <p>If you have a Cameleon, do you like it? Hate it? Is it a huge PITA to fold?</p> <p>ETA: I meant B-Agile, not B-Ready! </p>
