Do you regret getting a Bugaboo because another carriage is better, and if yes, what do you not like about the Bugaboo, and which carriage do you regret not getting and why?

1- Does it make a difference where you buy a Bugaboo as far as price and service and points?

2- Which is the best model made now?

I kind of regret that it’s such good quality I can’t seem to get rid of it! 10 years, multiple kids, lots of travel, and still holding up. It’s such an old model I can’t even get new seat fabric.

Same. I just replaced my bugaboo bee for my newborn. I had the original one from 2009, used it for bh more than a handful of kids (and still using it, but it's seen better days). The saleswoman had to convince me to get it all those years ago. Love it, love it, love it.

I regret not getting the uppababy vista.
It is easier to fold, easier to bounce up and down stairs. Has more reclining options. Can be converted more easily between the bassinet and seat. Can be turned into a double stroller. The handlebar goes up and down with the push of a single button.

The bugaboo is annoying to fold. Struggles at the hinges when bouncing up and down stairs. The handlebar needs you to open a latch on each side, slide up and down to the desired height, then close the latch. It’s annoying. Also the front wheels are always getting locked for some reason.

I have the fox2. I got it to replace the vista2017

Chameleon is no longer being made.

I regret getting the bee actually. The push was not comparable to the full size bugaboos. I got a fox and I’m loving loving loving it. The only problem is that the fold is very difficult so I mainly use it as a walking stroller.

I love my Joolz Day+. I think the only reason it's not as popular as Bugaboo (especially in the US), is because people don't know about Joolz. (Joolz also makes a stroller like the Yoyo which is nicer, and has a one hand one click fold.)

It really depends on your primary needs. If you are in and out of the car a lot it’s terrible. If you’re a big walker it’s amazing. I had a chameleon for 9 years and now a fox I love it but only as a walking stroller. The few times a year that I fold it and put in trunk it’s pretty annoying and bulky.

I think Bugaboo fox is the best stroller out there. No other stroller beats the push of a Bugaboo fox.
Though it's meant to be used as walking stroller, not as a folding/traveling stroller.

I think ppl that are always in and out of a car regret getting the bugaboo fox because its so big and takes up all the trunk space. Its great for walking and for a city life where you use your carriage to carry your groceries etc. Its a very strong carriage but bulky if you need it mainly in and out of a car.

The bee is great for that its strong sturdy and easy compact fold. I love it.

For reference I had the chameleon when I lived in israel and LOVED it! It survived 4 kids in perfect condition and carried tens of pounds of groceries for me.
When I moved to lakewood I got the bee and its great!

The Bugaboo is not a traveling stroller at all! So if you got it with the expectatiion of easy fold, etc. than it wasnt for you
I have the Fox 3 and am LOVING it
It literally rides on its own
My DH jokes it like driving a Lexus lol
locks easily, bumps up stairs easier than any other carriage
So many great features
Dont regret a penny spent on it

I don’t regret not getting the bugaboo. I was deciding between the Fox and the Cybex Priam and am so happy with my Priam. It’s gorgeous and smooth and at least as good as a Bugaboo, but much nicer looking in my opinion, and definitely more unique. I get a ton of compliments everywhere I go.
