bugaboos are great, but very pricey. I have a bee which i built from getting all the parts and ust putting it together There are several good alternative, there is the first wheels city elite, brilliant buy and very nice to push. A smaller option is the Hauck Infinity which is really nice and compact. Altervatively, you can get something like the Maclaren XLR, one of the best buggies out there, comes in nice colours, from birth to 4, which a Bugaboo is as well, but who want to pust that huge frame when you just need to pop to the shops with a 3-4 year old. Something like a Pliko Pramette is also great, foward facing and rear facing, but still light, looks great and very nice to push, but doesnt pick up the space that the other backfacing buggies do. I am a certified buggy addict and my fave had to be the First wheels city from birth, and almost any Maclaren when she got to about 2.
