BUGABOO FROG STROLLER

bug.a.boo Pronounced [bug-a-booh]

The Bugaboo Frog stroller was originally designed by Max Barenbrug who was an industrial designer. He went on and further developed in collaboration with a medical doctor Eduard Zanen to meet rigorous ergonomic requirements and functional objectives of the ideal baby stroller.

All Fabric: all Bugaboo fabric (seat, bassinet, canopy, and under seat bag) are removable and machine washable. Do not bleach, iron, tumble dry or dry - clean. Before washing, always remove the wires and removable foam parts (please read your included instructions).

Aluminum: the chassis may be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Never use an abrasive or scouring pad. We advise you to wipe the chassis dry after using in wet weather.

Wheels: remove the wheels before cleaning. All wheels have enclosed wheel bearings that keep the dirt out and ensure unimpeded rotating action. The swivel wheels must be kept thoroughly clean, particularly after walks on the beach or other sandy terrain. If any dirt accumulates between the swivel wheels, they must be rinsed off and lubricated with Teflon or silicon spray. Make sure the wheel bearings do not come into contact with water. A flat tire should be repaired in the same way as a bicycle tire.

For optimal suspension, do not inflate the large wheels to over 15 psi.

THE GOOD. Here are some of the reviews I found other owners saying:

* The quality of the Frog in comparison to other strollers is exceptional.
* You won't need help getting doors opened going into stores
* It pushes easily through clothing racks :)
* It was awesome on the road and on the packed dirt trails in a nearby wildlife refuge. The Bugaboo rolled over tree roots like they were non-existent
* The lack of cheap looking plastic parts and ugly fabrics is refreshing when you are buying things for your little miracle.
* The Frog is smooth and comfy for baby
* Great for long walks, shopping or traveling
* Your child can ride in the bugaboo from birth and until they don't need a stroller any more (up to 44 lbs)
* The resale value is amazing and people are always looking for a used Bugaboo so you really can't lose.
* You will never have to buy another stroller
* It was worth every penny

THE BAD. Here's a summary of some of the not-so-good things about the Bugaboo Frog Stroller:
* Very difficult to fold and unfold with one hand, even with months of practice.
* Does not fold up into a compact package for airplane travel
* The instruction manual and instructional CD are not the greatest - top marks for cool but lacking in actual directions
* The handlebar which straddles the bassinette/seat is very difficult to install and remove unless you have very strong digits
* the storage basket is attached with velcro which is time consuming and the installation is not obvious at first. It can only go one way which you will hopefully discover as it does not say anything in the manual that I could find.

THE RESULTS. Here is an overview of bottom-line results I've found:

* Child Safety = A+
* Convenience = A-
* Comfort = A
* Overall Parents Ratings = 5 Stars

DID YOU KNOW: owners of The Bugaboo Frog Stroller get bragging rights to the following:

* Celebrities such as Madonna, Ben Affleck and Miranda of Sex and the City were seen with Bugaboos

* It is an Award Winner that has a very versatile build and provides an extremely comfortable ride...not to mention it's durability!

* Oh, and it's verrrrrrrrrry expensive (around $729+)
