The Bugaboo Fox is a new Bugaboo stroller released in March 2018. This stylish, multipurpose stroller is a successor of the Buffalo. All the advantages of the Bugaboo strollers are concentrated in the Fox. The Fox is light and easily maneuverable like Cameleon 3. Like a Buffalo, the Fox can handle even a rougher terrain. The suspension located in the central joint and on the front wheels is the same as in the Runner. The compact fold of the chassis has been inspired by the model Bee 5. Similarly to the Donkey 2, the Fox can handle even a high weight. The Fox will surprise you with the range of new, unique elements such as a simplified removing of seat/carrycot fabrics or a handy brake with a color indicator engaged as well as deactivated by pushing. The strap of the five-point harness are a stay-open style which makes putting the child into the seat much easier. The height of the belts can be easily adjusted by sliding, so there is no longer need to pull them out.

The environment-friendly fabric of the carrycot and the seat is made out of recycled PET bottles and is added to the same frame which can be easily attached to the chassis. The ergonomically shaped bucket seat can be fully reclined by tilting. The seat is suitable for 6 months of age upwards. You can also use the Fox from birth/ for newborns by purchasing the spacious carrycot which is available separately or as a part of the set. The carrycot in combination with an optional stand can also be used as a cot. Using adapters, you can also attach an optional car seat to the stroller to create a travel system suitable from birth. The Fox features integrated attachment points so you can directly attach various available accessories such as the adapter for Bugaboo wheeled board with a sibling seat or the Bugaboo Mammoth Bag which holds up to 12 kg.

The Fox can be either purchased as a complete set or it can be fully customized. With the chassis available in either silver or black and an option to choose from several different colors of the carrycot fabric, the seat fabric, leatherette handlebar cover and a bumper bar as well as the wheel caps, there are countless possibilities for you to adapt your stroller to your taste. Hoods are available in three collections: the basic Core, the superior Premium, and the luxurious, patterned Signature. Summer versions with ventilation can also be purchased. All of the parts can be bought separately and alternated.

parents say thx^^

Absolutely lightweight and beautifully maneuverable stroller, which can go through a dirt road without any problems. It's like the Bee - weight and beautiful handling-wise, but with the features of the Buffalo. It's amazing.

You don't get your shoe dirty with the brake because it brakes and unbrakes with the same downward pedal. When it folds up, it takes up very little space. You can take it beautifully with an 8kg baby in the bassinet and carry it up the stairs as the stroller is light. The seat and the bassinet can be put on in both directions. The baby handle has a perfect joint that swivels completely in all directions. The super extended canopy covers the whole baby completely, so there is no blowing or shining into the stroller and no need to attach any diaper pegs :)

The bassinet cover is zippered and the zippers are overlapping, so it's a little harder to unzip and then zip up. But that's really a detail :) I haven't found any other drawbacks yet.

It is really versatile

5
  • low weight
  • beautiful design
  • possibility to change the design
  • cushioned
  • great riding characteristics
  • a bit of a tricky folding process before you get used to it
  • some people may be bothered by the bucket seat (we don't have a problem with it)
  • higher purchase price

I recommend the stroller. It is really versatile. It's compact, lightweight, can go through almost any terrain, has a two-wheel function (if the terrain is really crazy)...

Absolutely flawless

Absolutely flawless! I have nothing to reproach really.

My heart's favorite

  • The best pram
  • It has none

Bugaboo is my heart's favorite. In terms of the push and also visual qualities, there I would say no better stroller.

Great

  • Lightweight
  • Easy to use
  • Superb materials
  • Interchangeable canopies for winter and summer
  • You can't fit much under the bassinet
  • I don't think my little one can see much from the bassinet when on his tummy

👍👍👍 A great pram that I will continue to recommend.

Without one thing to fault

  • Large
  • None

An excellent pram without one thing to fault.

It's light as a feather

5

The perfect stroller ❣️ I give 10 points out of 10 💗

It's light as a feather, easy and foldable. It can be operated with one hand - it's just incredible! It can handle any terrain. Satisfaction, satisfaction, satisfaction. It's spacious - nothing to complain about 👍🏻

  • Luxurious
  • Lightweight
  • Stable
  • Creative
  • Cannot lift legs when sitting
  • If you still want to use the carrycot and still want to have a seat unit on (for alternating), you need a new frame
  • Takes up a lot of space in the car

Lightweight, easy to handle. Beautiful clean lines, creativity knows no boundaries. If something gets worn, scuffed, you buy a new part. No bad terrain will stop it and it sits very stably on the road.

Perfect

I can lift it effortlessly with one hand

  • Light
  • Compact
  • Spacious
  • Big bassinet
  • Easy to use
  • Smooth ride
  • Beautiful design
  • High load capacity
  • Spacious basket
  • Sturdy, yet lightweight chassis
  • Solid stroller
  • Super quiet wheels
  • Seat vs. bassinet version takes up almost no space in the closet
  • "Zipping" to the second version is very simple
  • Rich selection of accessories
  • Locking wheels
  • The stroller can handle any terrain

This stroller is perfect and undoubtedly the best! The bassinet is huge, so even a larger baby has plenty of space in the pram.

The advantage of the stroller is its low weight - I can lift it effortlessly with one hand, which is a huge advantage for me because I have a thrombosis in my hand and the weight of the stroller was a decisive parameter for me.

Another advantage is its compactness - on the one hand, the chassis can be folded into a mini shape, which does not take up space (we have it put under the hanger), but the click on part can also be folded flat in two movements.

A great advantage is that one frame and one hood are used for both parts. So the components for converting to the other version do not take up much space (one drawer), which is suitable for a smaller apartment.

Another great advantage is its huge mobility. The pram pushes "by itself", it can be controlled with even one finger, thanks to the front swivel/locking wheels it can maneuver in a tight space, and, especially, the ride is quiet and smooth.

What I really like about the pram is that it is possible to change the hoods on it - extendable, summer, etc. So you have several variants from one pram. We don't mind the sitting part shape at all, on the seat version, the child can enter it sooner, even if it is not sitting by itself yet, you simply tilt it and go.

I don't understand why anyone claims that this pram can't be put in a car boot easily. It folds great even with a bassinet put on it, just unhook the struts at the ends of the stroller. The seat is foldable in itself. The stroller is just perfect! We are very, very satisfied with it!
