Author's Review
Bugaboo Frog is the same as Chameleon, but the price is a little lower. My husband and I first wanted to go with the Chameleon because we liked the colors much better, but decided to save up some money and live with the blue Bugaboo Frog. It was a wise decision money wise. One problem, however, is that the blue color is almost black, it is super dark navy. I am afraid the stroller is going to get really hot in summer because of it. So, mommies, if you think of getting a stroller of this kind - take the tan covers! It will work best for you!
All the covers are replaceable and washable. I find it a great feature - first of all, it is possible to wash them if the stroller ever gets dirty and it surely will; second, washing the covers keeps the germs away from the baby, keeps the baby healthier.
Another great thing about the covers is that the blue Bugaboo Frog that we bought had off-white covers on the inside, the baby does not get so irritated or hyper-active as she would with the red or orange covers.
Now about the wheels, the wheels work very well on all the terrain, they are big enough and maneuverable enough to twist and turn your stroller in any direction you like. Note! Make sure you view the installation CD before you start assembling the stroller! I didn't do it when I assembled it, and the wheels got stuck in the wrong hole I put them in, it took me forever to take them out, so bevare!
The bag underneath the bassinet is pretty small, but it is not a big problem for us. We've been looking for the stroller with the bassinet, the style what you call a "pram". It is good for the baby's back, we believe. We were extremely happy Bugaboo offered this option. We also enjoy how convertible it is, it will last for a long time. The bassinet is pretty large too. It sits rather low, though, so you have to bend a little (I am 5'6"). The handle is adjustable though, you can turn the bassinet so that it faces you or it faces the direction you are heading. It is a great option is the wind is blowing and you don't want the baby to get cold. Overall, it was a good purchase. A little pricey, though.
One last thing - don't forget to get the cashback from such websites as fatwallet, ebates and such. We got 60 dollars back when we got the stoller online.
