Oh and btw, the cost of chameleon can reach nearly £800-900 which is extortiante for a pushchair. Bee can only rack upto £600!!

most strollers at that price point come with muffs, raincovers, cup holders, etc.
and i believe any stroller system that comes with a carrycot attachment needs to be dismantled- very few of them come with fully reclining seats and/or fold with the carry cot attached; the Bee sounds like its similar to the Skate from Peg Perego which also has a seat that reclines all the way, but the Skate is quite heavy from what i’ve read.

what about car seat- can you click it on to the Bee’s frame or do you have to lift (sleeping) baby out of car seat and strap into stroller?

re: using the stroller carry cot for baby to sleep in, a tip- “Although your stroller bassinet is suitable for night-time sleeping, your mattress may not be, so check with your retailer or manufacturer before you buy to see if you will need to buy a separate mattress. A mattress which is suitable for night-time sleeping needs to be firm, not soft, to support your baby while she sleeps.”

on the other hand, i love that the Bee comes in yellow- totally my favourite color for all things baby! its so cheerful. you’ll have to tell us how it handles once baby is here- i’d love to hear from someone who owns a Bee! its rarely seen in toronto.

I went to Mothercare again today and checked out the Bee. Last night i saw a video on the Bugaboo website that you can clip the car seat on the chassis with the cover still attached. I asked the assistant and she said no you would need to take the cover out and clip the car seat in its place. Tut! So annoying. But then again, she said that if you were popping out to the shops for max couple of hours, you can put the baby into the car seat direct from home, get to your destination, take the car seat from the car and clip it into the frame. You shouldnt even keep the baby in the car seat for more than 1.5hrs to 2hrs!

With the chameleon carrycot, the matteress is suitable for the baby to sleep in during the night. BUT what if the baby accidently soils the cot, then what? So, i would rather buy a cot from birth and use that!

Totally SGC, inshallah zaroor bataou gi. I was pushing it in the store and loved it. It felt so light! Hubby liked it and cant wait to push it in John Lewis on Sat.

I went to see it again with hubby and although i was in love with it...at first glance again, it looked like a hospital chair. Haha!
