“Dangerous buggy”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 02/05/2013

Today I was getting on a bus and only one of the front wheels managed to land firmly on the bus, because the wheels are like industrial 360 degree castors the wheel shot off to the right and the buggy nearly completely flipped over and threw my baby out of the pram, a problem even if both wheels have a footing. If I had not had a firm grasp with both hands at that moment my baby may have been killed. The wheels are wider apart at the front than at the back meaning I am always annoying people by bashing their ankles and running over people's feet. You have to firmly grasp the buggy at all times to keep it safe because it tends to run away from you unpredictably (why is it necessary for the makers to add a nylon strap to strap the buggy to your wrist ? because it shoots all over the place without warning). In my opinion it is dangerous, not just awkward to use or uncomfortable to push or just really unnecessarily expensive but DANGEROUS. If you value the safety of your child avoid this buggy. It may look good but it is not safe. This is more a warning than a review but please take heed.

“Defective pram”

★☆☆☆☆

written by nadiaaziz01 on 01/10/2012

I bought the all black "limited" edition and it had faults all over. The frame was bent, swerved into the road when you push, the chair lifting handle was stiff, and recently discovered the seat belt shorter by more the two inches than model on display. BB fought hard and in the end admitted frame bent so sent a new frame but not a new chair. Went mothercare yesterday to admitted the belt shorter then display model and just swapped it. No apology no reference to going to BB to report the problem. DO NOT BUY. Nadia aziz

“Defective”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 27/01/2012

My experience with the bugaboo bee has been disappointing. The wheels are faulty and jam constantly. They can't go forward or backward without jamming. Bugaboo's solution was to send me some washers, which are basically some stickers to improve the quality of the driving experience. This is simply a ridiculous low cost solution which has only undermined the bugaboo brand and wasted my time in trying to get the faulty product fixed. I have now been without a stroller since the child was born. Initially, I didn't have time to resolve the problem - most newborns don't leave their mothers with much free time! The child is now 3 months and I still don't have a stroller that is safe to use and I have been trying to resolve the problem with bugaboo for over a month. My husband and I have to carry our child everywhere, which has resulted in back pain. I will never purchase a bugaboo product again.

When did you buy it?
Models produced after November 2011 are supposed to be free of wheel problems.

“It's such a disappointment”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Pema on 23/07/2011

We bought the bee as it seemed just perfect. Within a week the fron wheels would not swivel and then we discovered that it is a very common problem with this model. It looks great and is light but the front wheels are so often faulty. There is a facebook page about this and numerous clips on youtube with people with the same problem. So stay away from this style. we are now shopping for a new one. Plus all the accessories are pricey.

“I will never recommend the buggaboo bee to anyone, I...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 21/09/2009

I will never recommend the buggaboo bee to anyone, I have just over 6 months warrenty left and it has broke 5 times and the last time buggaboo couldn't be bothered to give me a chassis that was complete it was missing cap so two bolts came out, and now they are trying to get out of sorting this out, this is ment to be a "city buggy" but it's not fit to purchase, it's a safety hazzard, and with the brakes that have failed my daughter could have been greatly in danger of vearing into the road it was due to me holding the strap that she didn't, I am officially complaining, and if they continue to side step these problems I will be getting trading standerds involved, the concept of this buggy is good it's a shame it's not what they sai it was, and u have found for every 1 person that have no problems there another 8 that have, I hope anyone considering to purchase this item takes unto account my complaint, good luck all
