The only con i guess is that it sits a little low so sometimes it's hard for my husband to get LO in/out of the chair without overarching his back. Other than that, love everything about it. Steers like no other! And I love how it's light, easy to fold and compact. We live in California so we're always driving around from place to place. Much easier to load/unload a lightweight stroller than a heavier one. And the front/rear facing option was really nice too when LO was napping.</p> <p>My husband (who is actually super frugal with his money...aka cheap!) even thought it was a good purchase for the money. </p> <p>I've never heard of the Uppababy Cruz (is it new?) so can't comment much on that. I guess it all depends on what features you're looking for. Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions regarding the Bee. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uppababy-cruz-vs-bugaboo-bee#post-41682 Mon, 26 Dec 2011 19:23:04 +0000 mrs. wagon 41682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the UppaBaby Vista and we chose it because of one of the features you mentioned, how baby is high up and you don't have to bend down so far to check on them, replace pacifiers, etc. Plus I think at the time we purchased, it was the only stroller that was front and back facing. </p> <p>The Vista is not super light (not sure how the Cruz is different) but it works for us since we're in the 'burbs. So we just schlep it in and out of the back of our SUV. The handling/suspension is AWESOME. My husband really appreciates the no-flat tires-- they are solid rubber instead of inflated. Plus you can lock the front wheels to make it a jogging stroller if you want.</p> <p>Hope this helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uppababy-cruz-vs-bugaboo-bee#post-41681 Mon, 26 Dec 2011 19:22:11 +0000 venice4504 41681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Cruz has the same suspension as my Vista and it's nice. It however has smaller back wheels which would lead me to think that the ride would not be as smooth on anything not pavement. The sunshades are great as is the fact the baby can face you in the seat. The Vista's basket is huge, but the Cruz looks like it's a tad smaller. Still huge though. The Cruz weighs 22# and honestly for 3 more pounds you get so much more from the Vista.</p> <p>I know there is someone on here that has a Bee in NYC I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uppababy-cruz-vs-bugaboo-bee#post-41667 Mon, 26 Dec 2011 18:15:54 +0000 sugar 41667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi All, we thought we could get away with the snap and go for a few months, but ours is a hand-me-down and it kinda sucks. Plus, I ended up with a c-section and can't carry the car seat down the stairs of our apt. </p> <p>We are currently debating between the Cruz and the Bee. I thought I wanted the City Mini until I saw the Cruz- and fell in love with all the high end features. I like that it is high up, has an infant insert, is light weight and can be both front and back facing. Plus, right now it is 15% off at Right Start. </p> <p>My Husband is in love with the Bee. It is the lightest weight stroller and it has great suspension. Great for City strolling and to get around local parks. </p> <p>We live in the City and with carriers this will be my only way to get out with the Baby for the next 6 months on Mat leave. We only have one car and my husband drives to work every day. </p> <p>Looking for input since I like the Cruz and hubby likes the Bee. </p>
