Pros:
easy to handle, great suspension, looks very cool
Cons:
bulky to drive with if you've got a small car
|

We got this as a present, so didn't have to pay for it (...!) and it's been wonderful. If I had to buy it, I would because it's a great investment and will last for a few years/few children. We live in an urban area of Dallas and it's been great to take on a stroll or to go shopping with. I like the fact that "feels" substantial and not flimsy or lightweight like the other cheaper strollers. It's amazingly easy to just fold it up and put it in the trunk. It took a bit of practice (do it inside while the baby is napping!) but once you get the hang of it, it really takes about two seconds to just hold the button and fold it up/unfold it, flip it open - the trick is to make sure you put your foot between the two axles so that they don't lock up  . I'm 5 ft tall and not exactly strong, but this is really easy. We use it on shopping trips with our infant car seat - the Peg Perego Prima Viaggio - and you can get the adapters for these for about $40. Saves having to lug the two separate bits around. I love the parasol to keep the sun out of the baby's face, I loved the bassinet when DD was tiny, I love the seat now that she can stretch out, and we can hang toys on the bar to keep her occupied. I love that it's going to last through her toddler years I love that you can have the seat facing forwards or backwards. I love, love, love it.Only thing I would say is that it does take up room in the car. But any stroller does, I suppose.

Pros:
Ride, comfort, design, color choices
Cons:
Brake handle can snap back at your hand
|
|
This stroller rocks. I didn't expect to see a difference in my son... thought we spent all that money for ourselves... WRONG! Our son is much more engaged in what's going on, where we are walking, who's pushing him, etc. He's a happy baby, who now seems to look forward to rides in the stroller. Functions well, compact fairly well. Ride is SUPERIOR! When disenaging the brake, the brake handle snaps back at the handlebar and can catch your hand if you're not aware. Cost is relative and definitely worth it to us and our son. Some reviews say it's good mostly in urban environments... I say if you have a decent amount of stroller usage regardless of where... this stroller excels.

Cons:
none

The Cameleon was one of many gifts from my generous parents so I did not have to pay for it. That being said, I would have as it is worth its weight in gold. I live in Manhattan and Bugaboo's are quite popular as they are very easy to maneuver in the city's uneven pavement. The stroller is very sturdy and the large wheels in back make it very easy to go up and down steps in the small shops of NYC that do not have ramps. Since I walk a lot with the little one, it's also got great one hand steering, especially when you have to walk and answer a cell phone call.The basinet is lovely and so is the chair with it's multiple positions. The basket is very spacious and sturdy and holds a good amount of groceries which is useful in a big city. The cameleon's custom coded color system is also a nice touch and allows some individuality.All in all, a great stroller for the city. I can see how someone who had to cart it around in a car may not be fond of taking it apart and putting it together. For those people I would recommend the Bee which also steers very well but pops into a car more easily.

Cons:
two part disassembly

Our DD's grandparents bought this stroller for us and we have LOVED every minute of it. We walk around town a lot and the wheels are wonderful for both grassy and paved terrain. The stroller handles beautifully and turns on a dime. We have had no trouble navigating small aisles in malls to the ups and downs of curbs in our downtown city. In fact, I think we have an easier time than other families with those bulky "travel-system" type strollers. My husband and I are very different heights, and we love the adjustable hand-height - he NEVER has to lean over (and he has back problems, so leaning over would be way too uncomfortable for him). Our DD finds the stroller very comfortable and regularly falls asleep in it for long periods. We have traveled with the stroller many times using the Bugaboo travel case, and it has always been very well-protected, although once the airline security people broke the zipper on the bag (which I have had happen even with my Samsonite luggage from time to time with the rough airline security people). The Cameleon has always been untouched. Carrying this stroller around in the carry bag can be bulky, but we have very much enjoyed the benefits of the stroller in our travels and at home with the bulk being the main disadvantage. I have an SUV, so loading the stroller disassembled into the back is easy, and reassembling it is easy as well and I don't have to bend over (since the back of the car is elevated).We also love the great sunshade and rain cover, and the fact that the stroller handle can flip around easily to have our DD facing us or facing away easily.

Pros:
Love thats it cute and PINK!!!!!
Cons:
2 part fold but it's pretty simple to do
|
|
This stroller is Gorgeous and I dont know why I didnt buy it sooner. I love that its pink and when I get tired of that color all I have to do is buy a new cover. I'm not too bothered by the price I've got purses for more than that and I never liked them as much as I do this stroller
