I know that it's a big seller but many ppl who do have it are not happy with it.

its not easy to fold at all,

from what I remember you have to take off the basinet part or the seat part and then fold the wheels part seperately.

I dont have one but my friend has one and we once went somewhere and her bougaboo didnt fit in my trunk (I have an SUV so its a big trunk) she had to take the wheels off from the metal part in order for it to fit.

bottom line is that whatever carriage you are getting make sure you do your research

good luck

thank you for the info !!!
I spent the all pregnancy in bed, and I wanted to treat myself with something special, but I guess its not what I am looking for, I need something very easy to fold.

If you like the bugaboo, but not the price there are cheaper versions. I've seen a lot of people with one called "Rock baby" I think & I saw one for $249 in Baby R Us.

If you are mainly using it for walks on the street out of your house, fine. It is NOT a car stroller.

The Inglesina Zippy is great. It is sturdy and fold very compact and in a second.

I 2nd the inglesina zippy. its easy to wheel and fold. it has a one hand fold, so u can do it while holding a baby. as for the bugaboo, I love the colors, and its trendy, however the few ppl I know that have it, ended up purchasing a simpler and lighter carriage for travel.

the zippy in incredible! I love it! its a great 'everything' stroller! The bugaboo looks nice, it probably is a good stroller, but I don't know if it's worth the price!??

The bugaboo also has a very small basket. Otherwise, I would be eyeing one for myself.

How come nobody recommended the Graco Quattro? It fits in all trunks, and its not a small stroller, it has a gr8, huge basket on the bottom that goes down, it reclines all the way, is very easy to fold (with one hand) and comes in many designs. Not expensive either, mine was $150. Just one thing, its not very light, but easy to push and I have no regrets. I also have an Ingelsina Swift which is very compact that I use for travelling.

Yeah that's it amother. I don't know if I love the color but if I really wanted a bugaboo style, I'd go for it. It's not so bad.

besides the price I can't stand bagaboo strollers. the wheels look aweful and how do you push that in the snow????
the baby is in the sitting down postion when the stroller is reclined to a 180 degree angle so their legs are kept at 90 degree angle.
this is really bad for teh back and must be uncomfortable for the kid
do you get what I'm saying??

On the contrary, the wheels are great. Well, definitely the back ones, they are like a jogging stroller. The first time I saw a bugaboo, 3 years ago, I also didn't like the way the kid sits so straight, but I got used to seeing it that way so it doesn't look to weird anymore.

Wow, I love that stroller! Its also called the baby rock star stroller. It also comes with a bassinett attachment but it is out of stock at BRU. I did an internet search and its $500 everywhere else Shocked

I was soing my research with my MIL looking over my shoulder so.... who knows.... She loves it too!

the bugaboo is SO much a status symbol it's unbelievable. I think the design of it is great, however as people are mentioning here- not that practical for fitting into cars.

For practicality and good stroller: I recommend the Inglesina Zippy. Very comfortable, great basket and folds easily.
