It was a big decision for me to spend the money. It sat unopened in our basement for 3 days while I thought it through. (I am an impulse purchaser) When I finally put it together I was so proud, and couldn't help but look for peoples reactions when they saw us coming. It did turn heads and get plenty of compliments. But I find I get the most satisfaction in seeing my other mom friends packing up their strollers when I'm already in reverse, and on my way. It is fast, light, clean and easy. No straps or locks to fuss with. No 2 step, 3 step fold lift, swivel the wheels or pop'em off. It's technically not a 1 handed close like they say but it's fast, VERY fast. You only need that second hand for just a moment and then bam it's done. I am now looking for my next stroller and can't find exactly what I'm looking for because bugaboo doesn't offer a double yet. I don't know what I'll end up with in 6 months? If you have something that'll blow my mind email me at chilligirl[@] I'm searching like mad now to replace the best stroller ever. Just go buy it already! November 4, 2008

We love our Bee. Not only has our infant used it from the beginning but we easily adjusted it for our three-year-old niece in a pinch. We've travelled internationally with it with no complaints. There was a small piece that holds the seat down that broke within two months of purchase. Bugaboo replaced it and knew about the problem. A minor thing for a new product.
Note: After 5 months of use, the fabric has begun to fade dramatically. Our bright red is not a little less bright. I don't care but you might!
I'm happy with the Bugaboo Bee, it's small size is really convenient as I wouldn't be able to enter any other unfolded stroller in my building's elevator. It's also great-looking, light and very easy to maneuver. Also, I like the taller handlebar. Only I'm a bit disappointed with it's folding system, it's not so easy and quick as it seems, especially when the baby's chair is facing you.
We own a bugaboo frog and after 10 months have grown tired of taking it in and out of the car. We instead started to use the Maclaren Volo however, the Maclaren does not recline.
We recently got the Bee and LOVE it. It's far better than the Frog because:
1) folds/unfolds into once piece
2) sun cannopy has much better coverage
3) lie flat so baby can sleep
4) fits small/large children better
5) taller handlebar (great for me as I'm 6 foot 3).
6) more convenient underseat storage
7) is much easier to use inside stores and buildings. The frog can't even get into many stores in San Francisco, but the Bee goes in just fine.
It has similar features in that it can
1) have baby sitting forward or towards you
2) has most of the same accessories
3) also works with car seats
We wish they came out with this a year ago as we would not have gotten two strollers, but just this one.
