Our Stroller
Review

We give this stroller a full rating of 5 / 5 stars based on our 7 critierias of
what makes a great stroller. Read on to see why this stroller will suit your lifestyle and see
what's included.
Travel
convenience:
The Bugaboo Frog weighs only 20 lbs and has a
carry handle for portability. One of the best feature the Frog has is that it is transformed into a bassinet.
The bassinet is great for newborns, and the seat is for toddler years. Either one is removable so when you
take your little one back home or just visiting someone else's, just detach from the stroller and take your
baby wherever you'd like to go.

Safety: With a 5-point
harness your baby is safely secured in the stroller, and with a parking brake at handlebar it's the quickest way to
make any emergency stops or to give you more control going down slope.
The Bugaboo Frog is (the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association), they certify strollers on
their restraint system, brakes, leg openings, and locking mechanisms that prevent accidental folding, as well
as for stability and the absence of sharp edges. The program is voluntary, and models from uncertified
companies may be as safe as those from certified ones. You can visit their website www.jpma.org. All Bugaboo
strollers are certified as well as Maclaren
strollers, Baby Jogger Strollers and Contours Strollers.

5-point Harness

Mobility: The two
small suspension swiveling wheels makes the ride of the stroller smooth from curbs and bumps, whereas turning and
pushing is a swift.

Adjustable
Suspension
The reversible
handlebar allows you to have either the 6" wheels infront for smooth surfaces OR the 12" wheels in
front to cross rough terrain. All you have to do is switch the handlebar from one end to the
other!

Durability:
A Bugaboo Frog can be the only stroller for your baby
for quite some time, rest assure it holds a new born till the baby weighs 44 lbs! Even more than
the Bugaboo Bee or the Bugaboo Cameleon! The bassinet length is 28" a tad smaller than the Cameleon which is 35.5"'s. And
while all the fabrics of the Frog are machine washable, there are no worries with spills and
messes.

What parents will love: The
Bee seat is reversible so your child can view the world or your admiration. The 2-wheel position for sand and snow
is great for a stroll on the beach, then your baby can join any of your activities despite what the weather is like
outside!

You could also attach a Bugaboo car seat adapter for either your Graco,
Peg Perego or Maxi-Cosi car seat (compatible with Graco Safe Seat [Step 1]; Graco Snugride;
Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP; Maxi-Cosi Mico).
With a 2-year manufacturer's warranty any parent can be relieved of any defects in the
future. You can be sure that it is made of the highest quality to have a 2 year warranty, usually they are 1 year
but the BOB Jogging Stroller's frame has a 5 year
warranty!

What the baby
will love: The Bugaboo Frog comes with a sun canopy, rain cover,
and a mosquito net, and with three different reclining positions your baby can be protected in any position
from rain or shine, even bugs!

What we don't
love so much: Since the Bugaboo Frog is Bugaboo's first original stroller,
it does not have some extra features the Bugaboo Cameleon has. A few items missing only,
but they do make quite a difference if these matter to your preference.
It does not have an Aerosleep Mattress, Height-Adjustable Handlebar, Adjustable Swivel
Wheel Suspension and a variety of choice colors.
The Aerosleep mattress might be a breaker for some parents, because it is really a
high quality mattress. What really hits the top is that the mattress is hypoallergenic and is very well ventilated
to prevent sweating (a major plus!).
But the height adjustable handlebar is really not necessary for average height
parents.
As for the adjustable swivel wheel suspenion, typically both strollers are very good
with bumps and curbs it's just the Bugaboo
Cameleon is a bit better with the springs for extra cushioning. If your mostly
on smooth surfaces like the shopping mall, I'd say the Frog is good enough.
The Bugaboo
Cameleon has 6 choices for the base, and for the canvas you could either choose
from 6 fleece tailored fabric set colors or 9 canvas tailored fabric set colors. So there is a 32 possible color
combination!
The Bugaboo Frog only has 6 colors to choose from:
Aubergine, Black, Navy Blue, Orange, Red and Sand. The color chosen is the same for the base and the
canvas.
So it really boils down to your preference, just remember more preference means a
higher price tag - it may just be worth your dollars! The two strollers are similar in quality, and being the
originator of Bugaboo Strollers, we decided to keep the full rating for
the Bugaboo Frog.
