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.

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.

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.
