I have seen quite a few already in BP. Much less than the Bugaboo, but frankly, it looks like you are pushing a high chair around the street.

I have it. I would love the latest version! It has a really comfortable and adjustable handlebar and babies love it!

I can't imagine spending that much money on a piece of plastic. If I was going to buy a luxury stroller, that would not be it.

It looks like a plastic carseat with a stick and wheels attached, and practically no basket. I can't fathom why it should be so expensive.

Is it easy to fold? My husband is 6'2" will ir be good for him to push? Can I go up and down stairs easily? Is it good for newborns through toddlers? Is it easy to clean?

I just looked at the site. Did you see the video on folding it? It has to be completely dismantled to "fold"!

Not to be the mean one, but I think the OP probably already likes the look of it, so it probably is more beneficial for her to hear from those who have it or have tried it out, then to hear it's ugly. Different styles for different people, right?

Here's a link to a youtube video on it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OA1mbde2oc
There are some more video links on the right side, and like another poster suggested, check out reviews on amazon. And, if you see some one with it on the street, stop them and ask them about it!

Its great if you are tall and want a tall stroller...practically the only tall one out there
BUT
it is complicated to fold,
the seat part only has 3 reclining positions facing you and 2 facing forwards (one practically looks like the child is falling out)
it does kinda look like a highchair on wheels
and the bassinet part is tiny and narrow.

That is what I saw when I tried it out - I did loads of research and yes I loved it, it is a real fashion accessory and there are some cool features (bending handle, going onto two wheels to use escalators etc) but for practicality it doesnt score much points folding, basket size etc.

I had it for a few months, then sold it to get a bugaboo. It is a good stroller for city walking etc, but not to put in the car at all. The bag/basket, is surprisingly large, the steering is good, and kids love being high up. If you live in the suburbs, the bugaboo is way easier for in and out of the car.
