Hi girlies,

I've got a bugaboo which I've been really happy with. Found it easy to use and especially love the fact you can face either pram/carry cot & seat both ways. However things to consider are that all the accessories are sold separately and they're not cheap. If you are planning another lo then bugaboo isn't ideal unless you have a 2-3yr age gap as the only add on is a buggy board. My lo is just 1yr and expecting again end of the summer so will be needing a double.
Hope this helps, best of luck.

I have to agree with Ellathome though, if you are planning a small gap I would think carefully before buying it. I will have a 22 month gap when no 2 arrives and so I am going to have to retire the bugaboo for the time being, and I am having a very tough job finding a double to live up to it!

I'm not sure if it's worth the money really but we decided to splash out anyway. It's certainly very good and it does everything we want it too (although I'm not sure if you can easily attach a changing bag to it - does anyone know if this is possible?) You get the carrycot and buggy seat, the rain cover, the underseat storage. But you have to get the footmuff extra and even pay extra for the clips to attach a car seat.
We got a package deal from twoleftfeet - ??710 for the chameleon, the footmuff, the carseat and attachments. Saving of nearly ??150 on the same items from John Lewis. And it's the new 2008 version which has a couple of upgrades (the best is the foam-filled tyres so no more punctures!)
Shop around but if you have the money then I'd say treat yourself! That's the one bit of advice I've had from everyone is don't try to save on the buggy - you're using it everyday so it has to be right for you!
I have an Oioi messenger bag and it hangs perfectly over the handle on the chameloen, my mum has just ordered me a new storksac bag for my 30th and that fits over as well. The bugaboo bag also fits but my sil has one of those and she hates it, apparantly there aren't enough pockets inside to keep stuff organised. Hope that help, Kerry
By the way, your avatar - I assume this is your daughter? She is just beautiful! I've been meaning to say that for ages whenever I see you posting! She always makes me smile...

My avatar is my little girl, that photo was taken at her birthday party and she is 18 months now so it's a bit old, but thank you very much, I think she is beautiful as well!
