So I'm researching strollers and don't know what to get.
This is a long awaited baby for us and both sides, my parents and his. My in-laws will probably get us the stroller and are very excited.
I love the look and features of the Bugaboo Bee. It is pretty (according to my taste) and very lightweight and very easy to push. Especially the new upcoming version seems the perfect choice.
But I hate the status symbol issue. I don't what to get it because everyone has it and many people who do can't afford it but just have it for the status symbol.
Any other options? I'd love to also hear from Europeans as I know there are many strollers there that are not sold in the USA.

I'm pretty sure there are a few strollers out there other than the Bugaboo.

I love my bj city mini because of how easy it is to fold and push. It hasn't aged very well, but I think I've heard the more expensive version (select?) doesn't have this problem. It's not the frame that has aged badly but the material.
I would still buy it again despite this problem though.

The Bugaboo Bee is not a status symbol at all there are many strollers more expensive than the bee. If you were getting the Cameleon that would be a different story. So get the Bee and enjoy it because no one will look twice with the Bee.

I agree with above amother.
The Bugaboo Bee is 529.
It falls into the range of high end carriages, but there are many carriages that are a lot more.
I don't think the Uppa Baby is considered a status symbol, yet is almost 150 more than the Bee..
The Bee looks like a great carriage.

a basketless stroller for more then $500???? There may be more expensive strollers, but they are probably expensive becasue they have many good features.
OP, you need to consider what your needs are. Do you have a car or do you do lots of walking? do you think you might need a double stroller in the future? Some singles will convert easily to a double. do you need to carry shopping in your stroller? Do you want the baby to face you, or is this unimportant? How tall are you?
there are dozens of stroller threads on here, go check them out.

Sorry for my ignorance. It's basketless?
I never actually reserarched, just saw it around.

I love my Emmaljunga for city use, Maclaren for on buses and in and out of cabs.
It depends on what you like, how you will be using it, and what you are looking to spend.

The bee has a decent size basket. In fact sturdier than the citi mini.
The uppababy vista is a nice choice, and it also folds with the seat attached. It's a big frame tho, but it has the advantage that it can convert into a double.

Try test driving the stroller too. I know the bee has a much shorter handle and can be uncomfortable for tall people as opposed to the chameleon which is higher up...

Both the cameleon and the bee handles extend. The frog has a short handle.

I had my first two before bugaboo existed....had a Maclaren that lasted beautifully, and then was stolen (!) but didn't really need it then anymore.
Had a few years till my long-awaited 3rd child....when I was expecting her I tried out my neighbors bugaboo, and beyond the looks I couldn't for the life of me figure out what all the hype is about. It's heavy, bulky, cumbersome, tough to put the parts together, and wheeled down my path going in all directions. Plus the hefty price tag.
So when my parents offered me a new stroller/carriage I asked for another fully-reclining Maclaren...and haven't been sorry. Love it, travelled overseas with it, went everywhere with it.

I test drove a new T-Linx in a baby store (just for kicks. I was there for something else) & it is so smooth. it is perfect for everything, except it is heavy.

What about:
QuinnyBuzz
Stokke Xplory
Micralite Toro
Or go to an upscale baby store and test drive some.

I have the teutonia, and I absolutely love it. It has everything I need. I HATE the bugaboo, and I needed something narrow as I have a tiny elevator. The teutonia fits the bill in everything. It's narrow, has a bassinet, car seat adaptor and a huge basket. The frame folds big, but since I don't have a car and do a lot of walking, it doesn't matter for me. I like the quinny too, bot they are pretty wide. The koelstra also has all these features if you like it.
