Bugaboo

About Bugaboo:

Bugaboo is a mobility company. Our mission is to excite every person on the move. For parents, that means having the ability to get out and explore the world with your child. In the city, through the woods and over sand and snow, Bugaboo wants to help you go.

Ahhh, how I love my Bugaboo.  But it didn’t start out that way.  The very first thing Brandon’s Dad wanted to buy was a Bugaboo Cameleon stroller.  At a starting price of $880, I believe I literally laughed out loud at him.  Are you CRAZY?  But he said he did his research, and this was definitely the stroller for us.  On our honeymoon in Europe, he wouldn’t stop shopping around for Bugaboos!

Eventually I came around, and I’m so glad I did.  It’s customizable (change out the fabrics), modular (bassinet mode or seat mode can both face forwards or backwards), and multi-terrain (take it to the city, the beach, the trails, or the snow!)

We’ve had the Bugaboo stroller with us every day for the past 2 years since Brandon was born, whether we were taking a walk around our block, exploring Disneyland, visiting Vancouver, or strolling the streets of New Zealand.   We have purchased several accessories that we also love – the cup holder, the foot muff, and the transport case.

When we recently found out that Brandon has a sister coming, we didn’t know what to do… do we have to buy a second Bugaboo??  Instead, we opted for a pink fleece fabric (you can purchase tailored fabric sets separately to update your colors), and the Wheeled Board.  Bugaboo sent us a Wheeled Board to review, and I’m SO happy that this is going to work for us because no other stroller could possibly take the Bugaboo’s place. 

The Wheeled Board includes:

• wheeled board
• wheeled board wheel
• 1 adapter set for the Bugaboo Cameleon, Bugaboo Frog and Bugaboo Gecko
• 1 adapter set for the Bugaboo Bee
• elastic cord
• user guide

If you have a Bugaboo, this is definitely an accessory you want to check out.  It’s great for kids who can stand, and apparently some dogs like to take a little ride on it too!    I found this picture on the bugaboo.com website, and we have a Shiba Inu too, so I just had to share it with you.

The wheeled board is basically a thick triangular plastic piece with a single-swivel wheel that attaches to the back of your Bugaboo. It can hold a weight limit of up to 40lbs according to most sites, although I’ve read on others that it can hold up to 44lbs. It’s easy to attach (clicks into place) and it folds up when not in use.   If you need to collapse your stroller, you’ll have to remove it.  Make sure you have your handlebars extended fully, so that you give yourself more room to walk.

This wheeled board would be a perfect baby shower gift for parents who already have a Bugaboo, or are planning on purchasing one!
