hi there


following another thread on prams, i have narrowed down my choice to the Bee or M&P Pilko or Switch.


I just wanted to see what Bee owners think of it? its such a big and expensive decision, although i may end up buying one 2nd hand. i need something light due to a back injury and the Bee is small, light and very easy to fold, so it appeals.


my main concern - have you found it big enough for baby? does baby grow out of it quickly? it is rather small!


any feedback would be much appreciated

many thanks xxx

I have had one since birth and my baby is very happy in it at 6 months - I can't speak for later obviously. The only downside was I don't think she slept as well in it at first as she would have done in a proper pram. It's very easy to get around and I love the size of it. I have no regrets.

We had one, really liked it. Was great for nipping in and out of the shops and cafes on Lordship Lane, not too bulky. Seemed fairly comfy for the baby (bigger wheels are even comfier, but too bulky and heavy). She used to sleep fine in it. We have a flat and hardly any storage space and it folded up smaller than other prams. But it is narrow, and our daughter seemed cramped in it at a year old. We switched to a stroller.


A couple of things went wrong with it in the year of guarantee (rain cover ripped and, more seriously, the brake stopped working) - luckily our retailer (Ladybugs in Stockport) were excellent.

thanks smiler. it does seem good for nipping around the shops. i would hate to get a pram and then end up not going out much because it placed too much strain on my back. i wear a back support and have physio every week but i still have to be very careful not to overdo it - very frustrating!

I am not sure if this has already been discussed on this forum. I heard that there could be problems with the brakes on the bugaboo bee. They could suddenly fail and this could obviously be dangerous.

The newest bee's have this problems fixed already but older ones can get special brackets for free from bugaboo. there is also a link to the photo of the brackets. I have ordered mine yesterday.

    • I am sure what the new plan is but who knows how the postal service will work from here onwards 
    • My experience is that my local letter box does have week-day-ly collections - but I think very early in the morning, not at the old 'around 5.00pm' times. There are several daily collections from the box outside the Forest Hill Road sub-post office. I don't think the 'Monday' tab is now ever changed. Mail collections from boxes have got nothing to do with the service we (don't) get from the Peckham Delivery Office. Your Wednesday 12th posting would probably only have been collected on Thursday 13th, if it was posted after 9.00am. If it was being delivered in East Dulwich (where the Peckham DO does come into play) then getting it by the following Tuesday is probably par for the course.
    • Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.    
    • My lovely tuxedo cat, Rexy, has been missing since Wednesday which is very out of character. Rodwell Road area, SE22. He is a rescue cat so really quite timid with people he doesn’t know. If you spot him, could you please contact me? Many thanks. He is chipped and neutered.  Photos attached.
