Being a happy user of the Bugaboo Cameleon I did want something that was extra compact and lightweight for the car. As a soon to be mum of 4 space in the car will be limited shortly as we will need to use 6 seats in our seven seater.

When the Bugaboo Bee arrived I was pleasently surprised at how compact it is and the fact it has so many features crammed into such a compact pushchair I was serioulsy impressed.

It does take a bit of getting used to to fully unfold but once you have done it a couple fo times it is extremely simple. The fold is very easy just pull up the two catches and push down and it folds itself and stays folded. so handy for the bus and car and can be done one handed once you have done it once or twice.

To remove the seat from rear to forward facing again not diifficult once you have done it a couple of times but you will probably find you prefer it facing one way or the other. It folds in both rear and outer facing mode too which is handy so if you want it rear faciong it can be kept that way round for as long as you want.

It turns on a sixpence, lovely spaciouls easy to access shopping basket. Height adjustable handle which is simple to extend, extendable seat so handy when your baby grows and needs the extra space. I would say with the footmuff it is suitable from birth without the nest but if you want the added padded luxury for your baby then get the nest. The seat is fine for a toddler but it does seem quite basic so i would use it with a liner or footmuff so your little one is comfy.

It has 4 fab seat positions from flat to sat upright in both modes so there will always be a comfy position for your little one.

I have sat my 3.5 year old in it for size and she had room in it although the hood did skim her head so I would say you can use it birth to 3 years but if you wanted any longer use out of it then the hood would be in the way.

I have the car seat adapters (extra) and haven't used them as of yet but can form a travel system with the maxi cosi cabrio which could be handy just for the school run or quick trip to the shops.

All in all a fab, compact, lightweight, travel system compatible, rear facing one fold peice pushchair. Most mums perfect pram with the backing of an excellent 2 year warranty by one of the best quality pram makers around. you really can't go wrong with this pushchair. I love it!

we have just bought the bugaboo bee a few weeks ago in the lovely yellow, we already have a cameleon in red but found that the bee is easier to get around shops etc because it is quite narrow, i did have to take it to mothercare where i bought it for a second demo because it is quite tricky at first to operate and not a bit like the dvd that you get with it they make it look so easy, i'm happy with mine and if anyone is thinking of buying the bee make sure you get a demo from the staff where you buy it from, i was lucky the lady who showed me everything about the bee the second time we had taken it to mothercare in warrington (janet) took the time to show us and didn't rush through the demo so that me and my partner knew everything about the bee, it's a real head turner too, it looks a bit weird at first but bugaboo are in a league of there own.
