Review| Bugaboo Cameleon

For the past few months, we’ve been testing out the Bugaboo Cameleon. You can read my first review here, which I wrote when we first received the pram. My initial thoughts ton the pram were that it was lightweight, yet sturdy – making it ideal for daily use, easy to maneuver around a city, it folded up fairly small and had a good sized shopping basket.

Sine then we’ve used the Bugaboo lots – around town, on the bus, on the train. For walks to the park and trips to the supermarket, basket overflowing with groceries. It’s been used for naps and to cart a days worth of belongings around for the six of us. We’ve even taken it off road through a very muddy woods!

I’m still as impressed as I was initially at the practicality of the Bugaboo Cameleon. WHile it struggled a little in the two-inch deep mud, that’s only to be expected! I was actually impressed that the wheels made it through as much as they did before the clogged up. It’s also easy to clean down afterward – a very important point.

I still have Beastie facing me – I’ve tried turning him around, but I miss seeing his face and being able to chat with him! Although the seat seems a little on the small size {though he is a little on the larger than average size – at 15 months he’s in 2-3 year clohtes} he still seems comfortable enough, both awake and asleep. The suspension is lovely and smooth – no jolts or bumps which could wake up a sleeping baby.

The basket has proved to be fantastic – it’s big enough to pack what we all need for a day out – picnic, nappies, drinks, change of clothes, and I really love the drawstring feature as previously in other prams I’ve had things fall out {not ideal when you’re in the middle of a large patch of mud!}, being able to fasten the basket so everything is safe inside is a really useful feature.

As a whole, we’re really happy with the pushchair, and would {and have} recommend it to other parents. It’s the perfect everyday pushchair that will take you from baby to toddler, for stroll around the shops to walks in the woods.
