I love my Bugaboo, but I wish the folding mechanism was easier. Because of the folding issue, I don't use the Bug in my car- I bought a Maclaren Quest for the car, which is great. However, for the price of the Bug, I wish it could do everything. I aslo wish that the canopy provided more coverage, and that there was a peek-a-boo window in the canopy so parents could check on the child without walking around the stroller. I paid $729

Easy to use and so versatile

Head turning quotient

My husband and I chose this stroller because we had heard it was the stroller that could do it all. It has exceeded all of our expectations. Encouraged by friends to use the Snap and go with an infant seat for the first few months, we hesitated to take our Frog out of the box. As soon as we set up our Frog though, the SNG became a thing of the past. The steering and ride on this stroller are so superior to other strollers we have tested. It is lightweight and very easy to use. It can handle a variety of terrains, from cobblestones to gravel, and steers like a dream in a crowded shopping mall. The reversible handlebar and ability to face baby in either direction is a wonderful feature for a new mom. It is incredibly easy to assemble.The only things that aren't perfect about this stroller in my opinion are the small basket, which is hard to reach once you pop the seat in, and the head turning quotient. If you live in an area as I do where bugaboos are not the norm, many people will comment on the stroller, even how they love it but "Oh my! the price!!". I'm sure there are people out there who welcome discussion of a more expensive than most stroller, but it is embarrassing to me. We don't travel with this stroller because of our concerns about airline handling, we use an umbrella stroller when we travel.

I miss my Frog dearly. I love my Frog. Originally the Frog was my only stroller... at $729 the stroller should be perfect for every occassion... but then I checked the chasis of my Frog with Virgin Airlines at the Gate. Upon arrival in London I was greeted by an apologetic airline employee who informed my chasis broke during flight. Virgin tried to get me a replacement chasis while in England but couldn't get one in less than 10 days so they sent me back to the US with a broken chasis and told me to get a new and be reimbursed (I'm still waiting for the $$$). However, it was easy to order a replacement chasis and it should arrive soon. I've been strolling my son around town in his Frog since he was about a week old. Initially I loved the bassinet feature. DS stayed warm and comfy while I walked to the grocery store, the bank, etc during the winter. The Frog also handled incredibly well in the snow. I also liked that I could attach my infant carrier to the chasis. I've now switched my son over the seat. He seems very comfy in it and I like that I can still recline him when he falls asleep. It is great that he can face me while walking since he is still so young (under 6 mos). I love how it handles and it is great for walking in the city on the brick sidewalks. Some people have commented on how small the storage bin is, but I don't find it to be a problem and I use the Frog to walk to the grocery store to do my weekly grocery shopping for a family of 4.The only drawback to it is that it doesn't travel well and it takes up a lot of room in the trunk. I have a Quinny Zapp for the mall and traveling.If my Frog hadn't broken while flying the score would have been a 10.

I love our Bugaboo Frog. First of all, I admit that I am extraordinarily shallow and that I love the way it looks, but in my defense, our 7 month old seems to really love this stroller too. The way the seat is shaped, it cradles him in a comfortable position and doesn't allow him to slide down like other strollers do. The fact that you can have the seat face you or away from you is a godsend, especially since you can adjust it so that the sun doesn't hit the baby in the face. The bassinet was cool, too, for the brief time he used it. We live in Los Angeles and drive everywhere, and I find that the controversial two part fold on the Bugaboo Frog isn't that hard once you get the hang of it. After all, even the lightest umbrella stroller requires SOME set-up, so it's not that big a deal, as far as I'm concerned, to spend an extra minute or two to set up the Frog. I'm not robbing any banks with the baby in the car -- I don't need to make a quick getaway. The suspension is so good that it's actually fun to walk along bumpy streets. Although the Frog is expensive (and we ponied up a little extra for the limited edition denim version -- $875 or thereabouts), I like it better than any stroller I've ever owned, and I'm on my second kid and seventh stroller. In short: I wouldn't rack up credit card debt over it, but if you have the cash and you love the way it looks, I think you'll be very happy with the Bugaboo's performance.

Pros:
Steering and smooth ride. Ony the Stokke comes close.
Cons:
Really can't think of any.

This is a fabulous stroller, well worth the money. We paid about $800 including tax, assembly, and I think a few extras such as the bag clips and peg car seat adaptors.
After over a year of constant use, the stroller still looks and feels brand new. Very well made. Excellent engineering.
