Hello!
I would like to ask about Bugaboo stroller systems. Are they really that good, or does a parent only pay for the brand? And then, which 2in1 model would you recommend and why?
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
Well, with the Bugaboo brand, you certainly do pay for the brand at least to some extent, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. It is so extensive because it has established itself through years as a practical, functional, and beautiful to add to that. I think that to pay extra for such a brand, known for these features, plus their stroller systems versatility getting better with every year - this all means the stroller will also have a very nice resale value. All this means, a Bugaboo stroller is actually a 'bargain' - if you have the money to buy it, and the lifestyle to fit it in.
Their models-wise, one of the best rated would actually be the Bugaboo Buffalo - but that's a discontinued model so that I would only recommend if you're in the market for a pre-loved model and have a need for an all-terrain one. My next recommendation would be for a case you plan a second child soon after the first - there's not many better double stroller systems than a Bugaboo Donkey (usable in mono- as well as duo mode).
Passing to the 'winner', the best actual model of this moment, and one of the best stroller systems overall right now would be the Bugaboo Fox - a continuation of the Buff, but lighter, handier... I would definitely recommend this one, with the underlining of two small disadvantages of this pram - the high price and not the most compact, two-piece fold. If you're ok with those two points, go for it for sure - it's not a random chance that so many moms in the world's biggest cities are using this exact pushchair model 😉
Your -very berry- Eli.
