at first my wife and i had reservations regarding the price of the stroller, however, after our first few strolls we are convinced it's money well spent. we've gone through 3 strollers prior to this one and all of them can't compare to the quality and strenght of the bugaboo. to sum it all up, think of the other strollers on the market as hyundais and the bugaboo as the benz of the lot.
I bought this stroller for my 3-year-old. It is beautiful, easy to use and (I can only assume) comfy for him.
I have it beside my Frog and think that the Bee is even better-looking!
I've had no problems pushing it into the storage position, a complaint I'd read elsewhere--if you have problems just remember to push down on the diagonal (while pushing the buttons), following the line of the bar.
I'd read reviews that questioned whether it would be suitable for a toddler. It's true that my son's head forms a little bump on the top of the visor (I'll buy a parasol for the sunny days). The Bee's back is the same length as the Frog's, but the Bee can extend to be longer along the thigh accommodating longer legs.
The Bee provides the same kind of smooth ride as the Frog. Also, they both have the essential one-hand push. How else can a person hold an umbrella while strolling in the rain?
On the negative side, I don't know if it will last as long as the Frog as it has more plastic pieces that appear to be easier to break.
