    Great stroller. Using from birth till now my daughter is 2. I think I will still use for another couple of years. It's small so easy to put on the boot. Only downside is the shopping bag underneath as when child facing other way round all shopping has to go under child feet. Overall great strong product.

    I love everything about this pushchair. It's a brilliant size, comfortable seat and I can fit my changing bag in the basket perfectly. It's very easy to push/steer and the hood is a great size. I would recommend this pushchair over and over again.

    This buggy is perfect, I can pop into any shop I want to without worrying if the buggy will fit through the door or narrow lane. It’s light weight and so smooth to push and ride. You can choose whether to have the seat front or rear facing which is helpful too. The only down side is that the seat is quite low, which means that there is limited under buggy storage. Otherwise it’s the best choice for a city dweller! :)

    It's a lovely buggy built for a smooth ride. Not so great when going through a park with grass can be quite difficult to push. Can't put to much on the handles otherwise it tips the buggy back. I don't know if it's ever pushchair but mine jams when it comes to folding it down but once it is folded it is nice and compact.

    So easy to steer, I can hold my son's hand whilst pushing with the other. So lightweight and makes travelling by bus a breeze. I can fit so easily in shops which I struggled massively with my other travel system. I had the original bee in 2010 and it lasted all throughout his pram years and I bought a stroller for little journeys which ended up unneeded. Love the colours too and suitable from birth . The basket is big enough for the changing bag and maybe 1 more bag in my opinion .My favourite things though, are the massive canopy, It extends all the way down and The fully reclining seat and the fwd facing option.
    The thing I think need improving is the raincover, which split very quickly.
    Pricey - but if you take care, it will last your entire pram years.

    I find the bugaboo bee a little bit flimsy when pushing the wheels are small and seem to get stuck sometimes when going up or down a kerb. I don't think the buggy would last up to age 4 as advised.

    A fantastic buggy that I have used since birth and my child is now seven months old. The original soft cocoon won't this buggy is extremely cosy and my little one always looks comfortable. It is easy to push, fold and steer and Is the perfect size as I live in a flat. It's small but still sturdy and durable. Would def recommend!!

    When buying this product I didn't think I'd love it as much as I do. Because it's not bulky, it's easy to take on the various types of public transport in a big city. It's a smooth ride and very comfortable and colourful for baby! Because it's a small and easy to use pram, I do feel it's a bit pricey, but I'm still very satisfied with the product :)

    I'm a big fan of Bugaboo as a brand. We already own a Bugaboo Buffalo. It's an amazing pram, but it's rather bulky, so we were looking for something smaller which I could use on my own. We're up two flights of stairs in our flats, so I need something which I'm able to get up and down the stairs whilst Dad is at work.

    The Bee 5 is much easier to get up and down in comparison to the Buffalo, but I still wouldn't feel safe taking both the pram and baby down in one go. It's easy to maneuver on most smooth surfaces, but is very hard on the cobbled streets which surround the place we live.

    It takes up very little space in the boot of the car, which is a big advantage, especially on longer trips away where space in our VW Golf is at a premium. It's easy to get on and off of public transport.

    We have had a small problem where the 'universal' footmuff isn't quite so well suited to the smaller end of Bugaboo's range. On a few occasions we've had issues with the footmuff getting caught in the folding mechanism which has made it very hard to fold down - definitely not ideal when you're stuck in a car park with a hungry, upset infant strapped into his car seat waiting to go.

    I feel the pram can be a little bit flimsy sometimes, especially given that we're used to using the Buffalo. We've also found the hood of the pram to be very, _very_ susceptible to being plucked, especially with pets, in a way that none of the other fabrics we own have. This is further aggravated by the high price of replacing just the hood alone, at almost £70.

    We like this pram, but I just feel that it's quite expensive for what it is. That said, Bugaboo do provide a three-year warranty, so if our impression of the pram being a bit flimsy comes to anything they should sort us out.

    Well, our one year old’s pushchair was the delightful Bee 5! Let me get straight in there with the cons... price tag (ouch!). Considering that this is no travel system, this is very steep (especially if you have the Botanic fabrics also!). This hasn’t stopped me from purchasing a secondhand Bugaboo Donkey on the other hand, but at least I know with that pram it will be more useful with two children (as I would find it unfair to keep the Bee 5 and make my child use the buggyboard, yet she didn’t want to!). Footmuff also super comfy but does look a little on the large size for this pushchair. Positives... steering is lightweight and easy... be prepared for compliments if you have the Botanic fabrics in particular! Stylish, comfy and easy to pop baby in and out. Collapsing isn’t a chore, either. All in all, a quality Bugaboo product... even if now, I wish perhaps that I had done more research and chosen a cheaper pushchair to start off with. I was always worrying about scratching this pushchair, too (so my next one is going to be vinyled!).

    I bought this push chair as I have a small car boot and it was the only one I could fit in my car, bugaboo as a brand are very expensive but beautifully designed. However I do think it would be better if it could fold as a system with the seat in as well, it’s a bit of a hassle to take seat off and then fold .

    Wow what can I say about the bugaboo. Having 4 kids I only found this little gem on my 4th child. This is by far the best buggy I've ever had. It is an absolute dream. So well built and luxurious. I love it and I wish I had found it with my first. An amazing buggy.

    I loved this pushchair so much I kept it my next baby. The lightweight easy to fold system made it manageable to get in an out of small boot space. This pushchair feels like it pushes itself and with the adjustable seat hight and length last twice as long as you can use right up until my child is at least 2/3 years old.

    I love this pushchair so much, it’s light, easy to push and very fashionable. I am able to change the colour of my pushchair by just changing the different parts. I love that you can adjust the seat to face you or to face the outside world. My son really loves his pushchair and hardly ever cries when we travel in his pushchair. He has always been comfortable inside it.

    Lovely pushchair great for smaller children and using on public transport.
    Cons are my two year old now looks far too big in it, he walks most places but not long distances
    I think the seat needs to be a little bit bigger, over all great compact easy to move stroller.

    The Bugaboo Bee5 is beautiful. Small, compact city stroller with a lot punch behind it, plus it’s cheaper than the chameleon. I also purchased the carrycot for when my daughter was first born, it was great. The only thing I would mention would be that the carrycot needed to be clipped off each time when folding the frame. However the seat she now sits in folds completely flat with one swift movement. The pram itself is super light so makes it easy getting it in and out of the car.
    I absolutely love the Bee5, it may not be for everyone (by that I mean taller parents) I’m 5ft so the seat is low, the handle is adjustable so is perfect for me. Every other pram I tried were either too heavy, clunky or too big / high.
    So if you’re looking for a slick pram that will last from birth to 3 years old, without having to get a separate stroller for your toddler than the Bee5 is for you!

    The bugaboo bee5 is great compact stroller which is great for city life. The extending hood is great for the summer months and keep your child well shaded. All fabrics on the stroller are completely removable and can also be put within the washing machine.
    All fabrics and wheel caps are easily removed and be changed to suit your style.
