The Bugaboo Cameleon is the new better version of the very popular Bugaboo Frog. The Cameleon, like the Frog is lightweight and a dream to manoeuvre on smooth surfaces. In addition this expensive stroller has a larger seat, big storage space basket as well as adjustable handlebar. Model actually costs more than the already pricey Frog.

There’s little doubt that on the whole the Bugaboo Cameleon is a first-class quality & cute baby stroller. It does have certain downsides, nonetheless, and it is worth thinking about how important these may be before investing in this baby carriage.

This high end stroller is delivered complete with both a cute little baby bassinet and also a seat so that the pram can be used from birth. The same structure, however, is used for both the seat plus the cute little baby bassinet, so one cannot easily be interchanged with the other.

The guidebook advises that the seat unit be used from six months, on the other hand, the majirity of parents find that the baby is sick of laying entirely flat well before this time. Young moms in that case face the dilemma of using the seat unit before it is advised by the company, or dealing with an unhappy child in the meantime.

The true reason the seat unit is suggested for infants over 6 months is the bucket style seat that won’t allow for the back or foot rest to move separately. Instead the whole seat tips back, so that a little one’s legs are in a sitting position even if they are napping. That looks a bit strange initially although my 18 month old sleeps surprisingly well in the seat and looks to be quite cozy.

The seat tilts without problems by pressing the big white round buttons on both sides of the seat unit. One advantage of the bucket seat is how straightforward it really is to recline the seat without distressing a napping precious baby.

The seat can be fit in such a way that a child can face either direction, even though the infant wishes to be out of the baby carriage to do that.

Bear in mind, this model really is not a stroller for running.

The seat includes not fixed fleece cover which while silky is very hot in summer. The fleece is made in six special colors which is fun, although it does easily pick up hairs and fluff and looks dirt easily. It can on the other hand be quickly removed & machine washed.

The Bugaboo Cameleon is a quality buggy that for the most part works very well. The front suspension along with big back tyres do nevertheless give a slightly false impression that this stroller will perform also as well outside as it does in. This will not be the case and it is simply outperformed by other baby buggies on the marketplace, some of them cost a fraction of the cost.
