Bugaboo Bee Stroller at Magic Beans

We love the Bugaboo Bee, but reversing the seat can be a little confusing. Here's a video that should help you get the hang of it in a hurry.

Strollers have personalities. Whether they are tough jocks built for cross country jogs or easy going and adaptable for a quick trip to the market, strollers have their particular strengths. Just like the Senior Superlatives we all remember from high school, it's helpful to understand where each stroller scores the highest marks.

So, if the Bugaboo Bee were to give high school a spin, it would be voted "Most Sporty" in the yearbook - and would turn some heads doing it. Even though it's the smallest of the renowned Bugaboo line, you won't find it giving up its lunch money to any giant stroller bullies. Besides looking super cute, it has all the moves. It can zoom away on its four sturdy wheels, make easy work of 360 degree turns, and then hide away (almost on its own!) with a lighting fast folding mechanism. Then again, it's also great at standing strong as the ideal infant-toddler system that it is with its reversible seat and car seat compatibility. So don't underestimate this little guy. He'll probably end up as Prom King, busting some serious moves on the dance floor and winning over lots of friends (well, mostly moms and dads) in the process.

The Bugaboo Bee is the most compact of the Bugaboo line. With a maximum unfolded width of only 20 inches, it is a great choice for busy parents who don't want to deal with "a lot of stroller." The Bee is also a real pleasure to handle. With the Bee, you can take the baby anywhere you need to go. Like the other Bugaboo models, it has a unique suspension system and the seat can turn to face towards or away from the pusher.

Unlike the others, the Bugaboo Bee is not a "hybrid" stroller with its four small wheels. The perk? You can really enjoy that great suspension system as you maneuver the stroller effortlessly. There are other innovations like an extendable seat, a generous canopy, an elegantly designed basket you can access from either side of the seat, and a quick fold that works with the seat on (yes!). And even though it weighs in at 18 pounds, it really is compact enough to fit in your trunk or against the wall at your favorite restaurant. There is also a telescoping handlebar and the option of buying car seat adapters. The Bugaboo Bee is great for parents on the go who don't need all the extras.

You've heard the name buzzed about in your new mothers' group. Your cousin kept mentioning it at a Christmas party last year. It's everywhere. You've even seen the telltale logo popping up wherever you go; the park, the museum, and even the glossy pages of celebrity gossip magazines. Yep, Gwyneth and Madonna love this iconic stroller along with the rest of Tinsel town and they have good reason to. Welcome to the world of Bugaboo.

These sophisticated yet simple strollers are well built, super versatile, and handle like a dream. Bugaboo strollers also look awesome. Unlike those trends that blew through during middle school (the biker shorts and side ponytails now live in the Fashion Hall of Shame), the Bugaboo isn't going anywhere. So don't feel shy about jumping on the bandwagon - Bugaboos will let you and your baby zoom around town in safety and style.

The Bugaboo brand is a well trusted one since 1999. They were the leaders of the pack for the hybrid stroller design, one that is incredibly popular for parents today. With features like a reversible seat, bassinet, telescoping handlebar, and chunky rear wheels for great traction, hybrid strollers are ideal for city walking. Bugaboo is still a leader in this category for its sleek and durable designs. Created by an industrial engineer and a doctor, this line of strollers anticipates all the needs of modern parents and offers exceptional quality and impressive maneuverability that you will notice instantly. And now, with the Bugaboo Bee, parents have the option of a more lightweight stroller with all the fine design of the rest of the stroller line.
