New parents opt for Bugaboo strollers because, whilst not the cheapest, they are built to last. It’s the brand’s high-quality materials and components that can be individually replaced if needed that make its strollers so in demand. It’s also incredibly simple to match your buggy to your personality and lifestyle. Parents on the go looking for something quick and easy to store? The Bugaboo Butterfly is ready to pack up and go whenever you are because it folds into one light piece you can travel with.
If, like me, you’re looking for an all-rounder, the Bugaboo Fox 5, is your best option. The buggy has been designed to handle all terrains, so will be ideal for casual strolls along the common in London but will equally handle its own on a weekend walk in the Peak District. Touted as the brand’s most comfortable and manoeuvrable all-terrain pushchair, the Fox 5 also has a very handy one-hand fold (because wrestling the buggy down at nursery drop off is no mean feat, trust me). Got another one on the way and need to brave the double buggy? The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is the one for you – it comes with loads of storage so you can bring all the snacks, toys and wine (just me?) you’ll need for family adventures. It also lets your siblings discover the world side by side, and it’s smaller than you think.
So the real questions: how easy was it to set up and does it fare well on the road?
My husband took on the challenge of setting up the pram whilst I sat back and watched, bemused. I was honestly hoping for some drama and expletives (the man is not blessed with DIY skills) but it was so easy to set up, that he became rather smug with his efforts. The instructions were incredibly easy to follow (we preferred the YouTube videos) and everything literally clicked into place. We were relieved that the wheels were ready to go because I don’t think our relationship would’ve survived that construction project.
