Bugaboo Cameleon Base - Red

 (5 customer reviews)

This is Bugaboo's top of the line stroller and is undoubtedly one of the most expensive strollers on the market (though my daughter was able to get it for 20% off at a one day sale at a local store in Manhattan).

Before anyone purchases this stroller, I think they need to seriously consider how the stroller will be used. If you live in an urban area and always keep this stroller assembled...it would be a great stroller. If you live in a suburb, or your primary form of transportation is a vehicle, this stroller is a very poor choice. It breaks down into three pieces, and does not do so easily. There is nothing one-handed, or quick about the break down for transport. So, before you buy this stroller because it is the cool one, or the luxury one the celebs have, be honest about its limitations.

Bugaboo (PRODUCT) RED Cameleon Base Stroller is just that--the base stroller frame. It is unusable without fabric so make sure to pick up a separate Bugaboo Cameleon Canvas Tailored Fabric set if you don't already have some on hand. Otherwise, the product is wonderful.
