If Bugaboo strollers had existed back when I was in the stroller market, I wouldn't have bought one. Not because of a desire to avoid the trend factor (I did end up with a Maclaren after all) and not because of the price (I did covet a Silver Cross pram, after all). No, the Bugaboo Frog and later, Chameleon just aren't the right strollers for my family's needs (let's just pretend that's why I skipped the pram, shall we?). I drive too much, so I needed something easy to snap shut and pop open one-handed, that I could maneuver in and out of the car with the baby on my hip. Five years later, I'm still rocking the Volo, which is just starting to look a little decrepit right around the time we're not needing it anymore.
So it stands to reason that as with all cool baby gear, Bugaboo has waited until my final child has nearly outgrown the use of a stroller before introducing their take on lightweight, foldable portability. The Bugaboo Bee is a crazy looking little exoskeleton of a stroller that builds on the distinctive profile of its predecessors, but also looks totally fresh to my eyes, which have seen a million umbrella strollers that all look alike. And also if you say "Bugaboo Bee" really fast, it's kinda funny. Try it.
I think I might need to have another baby. The Bee is due in stores in September, which means if I start now...
