Since its arrival in the shops just a few months ago, the Bugaboo Bee has proved as successful addition to the Bugaboo brood of pushchairs.
The nifty new addition to Bugaboo's fleet
Smaller and more compact than its predecessors, the Gecko and the Cameleon, and weighing in at 7.7kg, this nifty bit of kit can be unfolded with one hand. Indeed, it is the first Bugaboo model to incorporate a 3D folding mechanism.
Despite its light simplicity, it is still extremely versatile. With the matching baby nest, it is possible to use the Bee from birth.
It is also easy to handle - with a one-piece handlbar to make steering with one hand easier. The bar is also adjustable to make it a comfortable push for parents of differing height.
The seat can be reversed, reclined and, as your child grows, extended. Plus the wheels all have independent suspension for a smoother ride.
We gave one a test drive at a Cologne trade show and found the steering and suspension to be fantastic - not surprising really with its unique swivel-wheel system.
Check out this bright new summer colour!
The original Bee was launched with a black base, onto which you can choose from a selection of five coloured canopies - yellow, red, black, blue and dark khaki.
For summer 2008, you can also choose hot pink and enjoy matching accessories: the parasol, foot muff and baby nest.
It will be available in pink in July, so let's hope we have a sunny enough summer that you won't need that foot muff right away!
The Bugaboo Bee has an SRP of £359 and further information can be found at the
Bugaboo website.
