The Bugaboo Fox maximum weight capacity. Is it 17 or 22 kg in the seat?

15 Apr 2020

Hello,

I would like to ask you about the real maximum weight capacity of the Bugaboo Fox. Here on Strollerbase, you say '22 kg', but some of the websites/online shops state '17 kg' - so I am unsure now what to believe.

Thank you for indulging me.

Hi dear!

The weight limit in the seat of the Bugaboo Fox - but this is true for many other prams and pushchairs/stroller systems - is stated quite differently in different countries and regions. I am trying to fill out the highest stated here on Strollerbase - I mean the fact that a stroller can allegedly carry up to more kg in the seat in the USA, for example, doesn't mean it is unable to do so in some other, e.g., European country just because the law states different rules for product limits (and other testing systems - it only means the law is different and the producer didn't pay extra for some other kind of testing typical for that country. The US regulations state a 22kg weight capacity in the BGB Fox's seat (+10 kg in the under-seat basket), and that is what I am taking into account here.

Another thing is, however, whether the seat will space-wise be able to accept such a bigger toddler - but that varies also depending on the mother's expectations of space around the child as well as depending on the child itself and its size...

Your -very berry- Eli.

Now, this is your place to ask. I'm listening.
