Our Review of the Bugaboo Frog stroller
The Bugaboo Frog is the model that started it all for Bugaboo. Quite simply, The Bugaboo Frog is one of the most high-tech, versatile, and functional strollers out there. The Bugaboo Frog, along with the Bugaboo Cameleon, has been well hyped by celebrities, and can be spotted in hip urban neighborhoods across the globe.
Named for its unique frog-like suspension swivel wheels, the Bugaboo Frog gives you maximum transportation options and minimum headaches (or backaches). Using nothing but intuitive engineering (buttons and click-locks and releases) this stroller adapts easily to fit your needs. The Bugaboo Frog has a ton of features, accessories, and a wealth of possible configurations.
The Bugaboo Frog's strength comes from its lightweight aluminum chassis. Two 12" stationary wheels provide stability, while two swiveling 6" wheels offer maximum maneuverability. The 3-position seat or bassinet anchors onto the frame. The bassinet feature (note - roomier than most) is great for a newborn and will accommodate a child up to about 6 months.
Once you've mastered the basic set-up, it's simple to convert the Bugaboo Frog and adapt it to any situation. Your passenger can opt to face forward or backward. With the simple flip of the handlebar, you can lead with the larger fixed wheels to maneuver over bumpy paths at the park or navigate through fresh snow.
At the beach, Bugaboo's clever 2-wheel position makes it simple to trek across the sand. The underseat storage basket attaches to the bottom of the chassis. While this storage isn't immediately accessible while strolling, it can hold up to 8 lbs and cinches to keep your belongings secure. Designed to be totally portable, the Bugaboo Frog folds easily to stow in the trunk or take on the train.
(Please Note: The seat of the Bugaboo Frog MUST be removed before folding. And proper folding of all Bugaboo strollers is a multi-step process.)
Bugaboo also offers some great accessories that help you get the most out of your stroller. One of the most popular is the car seat adapter. which allows you to connect either the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio or Graco SnugRide or SafeSeat infant car seat onto the Bugaboo Frog chassis for a complete travel system solution.
Take some time to watch the instructional CD-ROM or read the manual that comes with the Bugaboo Frog?it gives you a chance to get familiar with the Bugaboo Frog so you can make the most of each option and feature.

Bugaboo Frog - A lifesaver, LITERALLY!
Reviewer: Joyce R. , Westfield, NJ
Date: October 02, 2008
I am writing to you to tell you a story that you should either feel free to use as marketing or just know you made a very significant difference in one family's life.
My 3 year daughter was recently hit by a very reckless driver while being strolled in the Bugaboo Frog which she was in since she was born. She was comfortably asleep, which probably helped and my wonderful smart nanny had her completely strapped in even though she was 3 and probably didn't "need" to be. I am told by people who witnessed the accident that it flipped about 3 times and landed on it's side. Obviously my daughter was awoken and scared, but conscious. My nanny was obviously distraught, but also ok. The police at the scene comforted them both and called me immediately at work. The police officer in charge at the scene said to me, "I always made fun of all those woman who bought these expensive $800 strollers, but I stand corrected. Your daughter was absolutely spared any major injuries because of this thing." Thankfully my daughter Heidi had a few scratches, but overall completely fine.
There is nothing like getting that phone call for any parent and my husband and I got to the hospital as fast as possible. It was terrible. Additionally, I was about 8 1/2 months pregnant with our second daughter who now rides comfortably in the same stroller. Besides a little cut in the rubber on the frame and a very faded hood it serves us just fine. I feel good knowing she too is as safe as any child could be in this crazy world we live in. I spent over 15 years living in an urban setting (NYC/Hoboken, NJ) and 3 months after I move to suburban Westfield, NJ this happens. You never do know, but thank you from our family for making such a great product.

Comfort, durability,lightweight,elegant is what you pay for. Red Bugaboo Frog.

An amazing piece, my daughter loves it. It's expensive but you'll have what you all wanted. Usable until your child reaches 4 years old. Fabric does'nt fade,it will look new as long as you have it. What's missing is the car seat adaptor, as a suggestion, Bugaboo should include adaptors if you want to go with graco, peg or maxi cosi but not an option. Cup holder should be included too. But above all I really like it and I'm planning to get the navy blue color for the future baby boy. Thanks Bugaboo.

Bugaboo Frog -Versatility & smoothness are a dream
Reviewer: Liz Gogo , Mountain View, CA
Date: August 16, 2008
I am dubbed "the stroller queen" (by my husband), as I have owned more than my fair share of strollers. With baby #2, my obsession has gotten worse. What I have found now, after purchasing 8 different strollers (ranging from umbrella to jogger), is that there is no ONE perfect stroller. That said, my Bugaboo Frog stroller comes pretty close. The only reason I give it a 4 instead of 5 stars is that I can't fold it down by myself while holding a baby. Otherwise, it is great, even for the price.
I actually prefer the Bugaboo Frog for jogging over the Baby Jogger II my first baby rolled in. I'm a fairly serious runner and I researched it well for #1. I was happy with my choice until we decided to try biking as a family. Adding a bike trailer to our townhouse garage put us over the top to busting at the seams. At this point, I switched the Baby Jogger to a Chariot Cougar. Another fantastic and versatile stroller. But still not my favorite for running.
My Bugaboo Frog is smooth and more comfortable for my baby than either other jogging stroller because of the bassinet option and the fully reclining seat option. I didn't want to wait the 6 months to put baby #2 in a jogging stroller. For me, combining my runs with baby's naptime are essential while #1 is at preschool. The Frog absorbs the bumps well enough, moves smoothly over the sidewalks and driveways and has a more comfortable handle bar than either the Baby Jogger or the Chariot. I'm 5'1", so maybe that makes the difference. When I researched with #1, the conclusion of most runners was that a fixed front wheel was best. My Baby Jogger always developed a slight pull to the right, so I had to lift and recorrect constantly. I think the fact that the Bugaboo's two front wheels swivel make it much easier to steer. One front swivel would definitely be a problem, but two make turns a dream. The shocks absorb the bumps and my baby sleeps peacefully (which is amazing because #2 is NOT the sleeper #1 was!). When I first ran with baby padded snuggly in the bassinet, I did feel a little silly, as running while pushing a pram is not the athletic look I am used to, but who cares if it works?! Sleeping baby and running mama = happy household.
And that makes hubby happy, even after the price. And, he adds, "great re-sale value".

Bugaboo Frog - 2 Yrs Later, We STILL Love It!
Reviewer: Anonymous , Maryland
Date: July 10, 2008
Absolutely LOVE the Bugaboo Frog stroller. If you do a lot of errand running on foot, this stroller is a lifesaver. I can't imagine shoving over cracked sidewalks, overgrown paths, and crumbly asphalt, with anything else. At the beach, we convert into the admittedly odd 2-wheeled mode, and pull our daughter over the sand with ease. The basket is spacious and sturdy. I've managed to fit a gallon milk jug in there on a grocery run! We've used our Bugaboo Frog for almost 2 and a half years, and it's held up remarkably well despite not-so-gentle treatment. The cover comes off easily and can be thrown in the washer, something that can't be said for the stoller my mother bought, which is gross with food stains and dirt. As some other reviewers have said, this stroller also serves double duty as a bassinet bed when your child is a newborn.
The only thing keeping this review from being 5 stars, is the lack of an easy way to lash the two halves of the stroller together when it's folded. This stroller folds into two pieces: the frame, and the seat/bassinet. I don't mind having the two pieces as opposed to one. Having two pieces makes it easier to arrange the stroller in cramped car trunks. The only problem is that having the two pieces makes it almost impossible to carry this stroller folded, if you're alone and also have a baby or small child with you. I wish they had come up with some kind of clasp or strap. It would still be awkward, but as it is, the one thing I can't do with our Bugaboo is take it on a bus or train without another adult to lend a hand.
All in all, that is a small concern with what has otherwise been a fantastic stroller, and worth every single penny of its purchase price.

the one and only
Reviewer: Anonymous , Santa Monica, CA

My husband and I invested in the Bugaboo Frog for our son in 2005. I have used the stroller for a nice sunday stroll to a jaunt on the beach to a hike up the mountain. The Bugaboo has been the one and only stroller for us and we love it. I think it has paid for itself and more. I know many friends who have more than one stroller and it adds up to be more expensive than owning a Bugaboo. When my son turned 2 the seat broke and I contacted Bugaboo, they sent me a loaner seat while they fixed ours and it was a seamless transaction w/no cost on my end. Also, the tire was punctured so I took it to my local bike shop and had the innertube replaced for $8.00. We are still using the Bugaboo and we love it. I highly recommend this stroller. I don't know about the other styles but we love the Frog!!!

Frog for my 11 month old!
Reviewer: Anonymous , Gulf Coast, Florida
Date: May 09, 2008
Well, after reading hundreds of reviews and wondering if it was smart to spend this much on a stroller for an 11 month old...I bit the bullet and ordered the Frog. My one and only regret is that I didn't order it 11 months ago!! This is the best thing on 4 wheels -hands down! And the folding is absolutely nothing, it literally takes me 20 seconds to set up and put away. Even my 10 year old pops it open and sets it up with no problem at all. My baby is big for his age (26lbs and 30 inches at 12 months) and he fits easily into the frog. He LOVES to ride in it and enjoys all the positions! I can't think of a single thing wrong with this stroller I love, love, love it! Oh, and by the way my 10 year old daughter and I put it together all by ourselves in about 20 minutes, the dvd is really helpful and easy to follow, if we can do it ANYONE can! The basket under the seats easily holds my diaper bag, the sunshade is huge and I have already removed the seat and washed it. I was nervous about putting it in the washing machine but it came out perfect and looks brand new! I highly recommend the cup holder that is definitely a must! Oh, and even my husband who thought it was insane to spend this much on a stroller wishes we had bought it when he was an infant! If you are hesitating at all...DON'T - it's the best thing I have ever bought for my kids!

Great looking and wonderful on the bumpy sidewalks in my neighborhood. I love the extended storage down below. A little tricky to fold up but I'm getting the hang of it.

I bought the bugaboo stroller online and 24 hours later it was on my doorstep! They are fast! As for the bugaboo, I dont know yet if it's worth the price...the baby is due in 4 weeks! Easy to assemble and easy to manoeuvre so I think we will be pleased.
