Bugaboo Bee, an Impartial Review: Mechanics, Comfort, Use

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

In order to keep our recommendations up to date, we maintain a 'Buyer's Guide' on our Patreon page (with a wide spectrum of models, and a lot of technical and lifestyle-related information). Organizing our recommendations this way makes it easier to include good models that we haven't made review-videos for yet, as well as to remove models which have developed unforeseen wear-issues over time, or which have been weakened by the manufacturer in their current iterations. You can access it here: www.patreon.com/posts/stroller-buyers-37953864 As an independent, consumer-oriented reviewer, we have fewer revenue-streams open to us than the majority of other channels out there, so we do ask for a small donation for access to this guide (as well as a free consultation and access to our other Patreon content). Thanks so much for your help!

Love to see a review of the new bee6. It now has a larger wheels now

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

It's on the list. Will probably be 2/3 months though.

I have a Bee5 and for me it fills the Gap between my Emmaljunga NXT90F and my Babyzen yoyo. It’s so smooth to drive with one hand when my toddler wants to walk and perfect for shopping and public transport (in Copenhagen). Still love my big Emmaljunga.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Right on. You get it. You'd be surprised at how many people by a Bee (or even a Yoyo, believe it or not) as their only stroller, and proceed to drive it into the ground within a couple years without ever thinking that different strollers are made for different conditions. :) :)

[@steffipeters]

The Stroller Workshop you’d be surprised by how my people think it’s silly to buy a YoYo just to travel (fly). But after 20+ flights in a year it’s been all its money worth (for me). I think a lot of people are dreaming of a “one stroller can do it all”. But this isn’t how it works. If you fly once a year it doesn’t make sense to have a cabin sized stroller for your everyday use. And like you said the Bugaboo Bee is still around because of its popularity and those stroller are “fashionable” and you can accessorize them well and that sells too! Bugaboo kind of started that whole “status symbol stroller”. They are apparently releasing a “real travel stroller” in the beginning of June. Still I’m not using my Bee5 when it rains because the basket is so low that things get wet 🙈

I get on really well with my bee, my son is 3 and he still fits in well. I believe he will still be fine until the end of his pushchair days. ( to be honest he only uses it occasionally now) He is an average sized child for my country he is about 94 cm tall and weighs 30lbs or there about. It is what it is a good quality pushchair suitable for a lot of families living in a town or city. Decent sized basket and decent sized fold. I think it will be around for a while yet ( unless the new coming ant sees the end to it) Yes there are better pushchairs but there a lot more worse!!! Great videos by the way so much more genuinely informative than most Thanks x

Cant choose between Mios and Bugaboo bee 5 :) NOT because of the style! I live in London and for getting on the bus / getting onto the underground the small size, small weight and easy fold are very very important. And for manoeuvring in small corner shops! Lots of people go for compact travel strollers as their full time ones (YoYo obviously) but I want something a bit more sturdy than that + reversible seat. Right now have Silver Cross Pioneer and it is SO BULKY, so difficult on the buses. Going to get Thule Chariot as biking/jogging/rough terrain stroller as well. Anyhow, very difficult, especially that I can't go out and try them all.

The Joolz Hub is my favorite for this size class, check out our review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5rahGudfa18n8k

Would it be ok to buy used

[@abuanwp]

We have the bee+ for 5yrs now and currently used by our 2nd child, everything about the stroller are indestructible unless accidental force or abnormal situation. Only encountered problem with the handle extension because it is now asymmetric since the airport bagger put it in the conveyor belt and maybe got bumped. The bottom seat extender got broken since an idiot neghbor's elementary child sat on the chair!!! but even so it can be all glued and tied permanently.

[@porosenokify]

Hi! What about the seat extension? It is advertised that seat can grow with a child. Did you try the maximum before putting your son in?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

It does extend, but not by that much unfortunately. Yes, we have tried with the seat extended. :)

[@porosenokify]

Hey! Thanks for your message! :) I was thinking to switching to Bee 5. I m very tall that is why I m checking :) Look, at the baby jogger website they say that backrest length of GT is 51 cm, whereas at bugaboo they say the blackest is 49-56 cm. So, why do you think it is smaller in real life?

[@jparedes1503]

How would you recommend fixing the wobbly front wheel issue on an older Bee+? Mine started doing that on our walks recently with my 5mo old.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

You need these wave washers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioGUfKaIi9ihiLM Contact Bugaboo customer service directly, they used to send them out for free as part of a product recall action: www.bugaboo.com/us-en/product-recalls/wheels-bugaboo-bee-rc004.html

[@jparedes1503]

The Stroller Workshop Thank you for the information and how-to video! If they don’t get back to me I’ll def go get similar washers at our hardware store.
