$ Bugaboo BEE Complete Stroller in Red

Do not buy a Bugaboo Bee! Buy any other product, but not the Bee!



In October of 2007, we pre-ordered the Bugaboo Bee. Our daughter was born in November of 2007. She was not a big baby, in fact, she was on the small side. Immediately, we had problems with the brake, it worked only occasionally. The rain cover ripped within a couple months. Less than six months after our daughter first used the Bee, the frame broke.



For three weeks, we called Bugaboo and were not able to get in touch with anyone. I left messages on any extension I could seeking out help. Finally, we got someone on the phone. We explained our frame broke and the brake didn't work. The service agent was rude, and finally agreed to send us a new frame (it was within warranty), if we emailed them pictures. We did.



A few weeks later, we received a new frame. The brake still didn't work unless I kicked it. Another nine months later, we received a replacement part for the brake (apparently enough people complained about the brake), but it still didn't work until we oiled it up. Two more rain covers later, both ripped, we gave on the rain covers.



Six months ago, the first wheel ripped apart. We bought a new one from [...]. Two and a half months ago the second wheel ripped. And the frame of the sun canopy snapped, so the shade doesn't go up properly. We ordered another wheel from [...]. Two months later, it has still not arrived because it's been out of stock. The manager at [...] told me she would send me a used wheel to get by on. That was two weeks ago and it hasn't arrived. We just received a email telling us the new wheel we ordered is still out of stock... indefinitely. So now, we can't use the $500 stroller that never worked well anyway.



If you MUST buy Bugaboo, at least don't buy the Bee.
