bugaboo bee for travel

Bugaboo Bee 6 Review

The Bee 6 is the fifth version of the Bugaboo’s classic small size, daily stroller . Originally launched last 2007, the Bee is one of the most established model lines on the market. When it first came out, it was groundbreaking. Providing a revolutionary, luxury-oriented alternative to the umbrella style travel models that dominated the market for decades.

A few years after its launch, and after the concept of the luxury travel model had been replicated by several other manufacturers, when baby had again revolutionized travel stroller market with the first ultracompact, the Bugaboo Bee was one of those few modes to stick around.

A testament to the fact that it had carved out its own niche, particularly among modern urbanites. At this point of course, the model is no longer viewed as a travel stroller at all, even by Bugaboo, since the Ant has taken over that mantle. And while this had been the case for a few years, it seems that several of the changes made with the Bee 6 are about this transition. A cementing of the definition of the Bee purely as a small size, daily model despite its travel-oriented roots.

Dimensions All these weights and measurements except for the shopping basket’s weight capacity are larger and heavier than the previous iteration. All of these should be taken as a good thing as being heavier and larger is a result of reinforcements and improvements made to boost the model’s daily use capabilities.

Weight: 10.5 kg

Folded with seat attached : 90 x 47 x 36 cm

Seat: 22.6 kg

Underslung shopping basket: 4 kg

Child Comfort Size wise, the Bee 6 is relatively in the middle of the road, though the seat design is harder to compare with other models in some aspect.

Part of this is the extension mechanism on both the back and the baseboards which allow the seat to extend to a size where it can comfortably fit a child at least until around two and a half years old. A larger child could fit as well, but the seat is likely to feel a bit cramped.

Another reason why the model is difficult to compare has something to do with the footrest. The footrest is not integrated into the seat frame but rather, it sits at the front of the shopping basket. This is a common setup for travel strollers though not used generally for daily use models. What this means in practice then is that after your child is large enough for their feet to hang off the baseboard around one year old at the most, there is no way to elevate the legs to accommodate for a more comfortable recline position.

In reverse facing, there is no footrest at all . Though this is necessarily not a huge deal, this design choice orients the model a bit more towards shorter trips out than all day adventures. There is also a limit on the use value of the reverse seating a little, which is one of the major draws of the model from the outset.

With regards to the other aspects of the seat, the Bee 6 offers a long, snug-fitted canopy which provides good sun coverage. The canopies’ fabric has been switched back to a canvas sort , more in line with what the model had before the Bee 5, as well as what they tend to use with the other models.

On the seat itself, the fabrics have changed as well. The fabrics have been engineered conjointly with the frame to create better ventilation , which is very useful for those living in places with warmer climates.

A rotatable bumper bar has also been added to the Bee 6 and is also a very welcome addition. Although, this rotatable bumper bar had been expected from the Bugaboo for a while now.

Ease of Use When it comes to parent comfort and overall functionality, there are both positives and negatives to the Bee 6.

On the positive side , even though folding can feel a bit complicated on this model, the ability to fold the Bee 6 with the seat in the reverse position is a useful feature, which may not be always included in competing models. The addition of a small stand protruding from the front frame to allow a stable standing fold is also handy.

In addition, the fact that the height of the bassinet has been increased with longer adapters is also a definite improvement and makes the model more acceptable for newborns. The wheel size is also increased which greatly enhances the model’s drivability.

This model will function better on smooth terrain but the increased wheel size as well as the improved suspension will allow it to be useful in rougher terrains like gravel and cobblestones for a limited period.

On the negative side , unfortunately, are the same impediments to easy functionality that the Bee has suffered from since its first iteration.

The potential to develop a variety of mostly symmetry related problems since the model simply has too great several mechanisms and moving parts especially when it comes to the seat frame. Though problems here are exacerbated by the chassis which while constructed of stronger materials is also a chock full of hinges and connection points.

Because of this, the development of asymmetry issues over time is virtually a given with the Bee models, with most of these issues having their greatest impact on the seat frames functions, particularly the positional adjustment mechanism and the ability to easily remove and reverse the frame.

In addition to their being a lot of steps involved in both folding the model as well as removing and reversing the seat, the mechanisms involved in these processes are likely to get more fiddly after a few years. At least, if one does not treat the model carefully and regularly lubricate its mechanism and moving parts with silicon.

With the Bee 6, the Bugaboo has updated all the dual activation mechanisms with memory buttons to allow for a one-hand fold. But honestly, it would be nice to have seen this kind of effort in the mechanism applied to changing the basic design of the seat frame at least as for the ease of functionality is concerned.

Mechanics Looking at the seat frame without the textiles is the most problematic part of the model . The key issue being that the back and baseboards are constructed of large and long moving plastic components, layered on top of each other and riveted together. This allows for the sliding of the extension mechanisms while also sandwiching the components responsible for releasing the position of the seat via a handle at the top of the backboard.

The second moving system is then connected to the two rotating mechanisms on the sides. These lock the various positions and allow the seat to be removed from the chassis when rotated to the correct position.

All in all, this setup just has too many fragile moving parts and over the years, we have seen a wide variety of alignment issues from loosening or lack of lubrication, as well as actual breaks occurring in several places and unfortunately overall, the seat frame is nearly impossible to repair for average users. This also often requires replacement which can be quite costly . Despite a certain degree of reinforcement allowing for the increased weight capacity on the Bee 6.

There is no significant redesign of the seat frame and thus, one must assume that the Bee 6 will likely run into the same sort of complications that affected the previous models.

Handle, Fold, General Structure The handle is no longer a continuous wrap around single piece of metal but is now rather just a tightly fitted handle at the top of separate arms , like most of their models. This is a positive change, not that the problems with the old handle design were all that common, but the ability to disassemble the model here at the top to swap out either the handle itself or to get at the sidearms more easily at separate elements, increases the repairability of the chassis.

The general structure of the model and the foldability of this model is what we may call as the crux of what the Bee is.

Taking a look at it without the seat unit as a model originally conceived for travel and compactness, the folding setup is certainly a paramount focus of its design and as far as folding is concerned, the Bee is quite unique on the modern market.

The central component controls the model symmetry as it folds being this large, multi-hinged assembly under the seat unit while the arms slide up and down at one end and the front frame collapses horizontally at the other.

Wondering why is it like this? The theory is that it has something to do with the wider market at the Bee’s conception. This means that as far as travel strollers go, umbrella designs, with open hinged skeletons meant to collapse both vertically and horizontally.

When looking at the Bee, Bugaboo looked at all these and then set about figuring out how to improve on the existing idea to create their reversible seat luxury model. However, certain elements inspired by the wider umbrella-dominated market do feel present on the Bee to this day.

In the more open style of its multi-hinged chassis , the horizontal contraction of the front frame and even that satisfying pressing of the foot needed to snap the model open for use. If the Bee had never existed and Bugaboo was tasked to build a small sized, urban model from scratch, given the state of the market today, this is not the model they would build. It might be rather either something with their signature central hub or would be like the Ant, with just a telescopic handle and a simple release mechanism for unlocking the rear frame in relation to the front frame. The market has shifted beyond designs like the Bee. It has worked out simpler and more elegant solutions for providing a compact fold.

On the contrary, the Bee design has proven itself to be one of Bugaboo’s hardier chassis over the years. Unique as it is in appearance, this spread-out original design, regardless of where it came from, really contributes no functional benefits to the model.

At best, the structure of the Bee’s chassis could be viewed as a style , although it might seem to be more of a liability . A contributing element to those issues of looseness and asymmetry mostly affecting the much weaker seat unit.

Wheels, Rear and Front Frames Of all the changes made with the move to the Bee 6, increasing the size of the wheels (7” wheels) by a full inch is definitely a plus point. Can an inch really make that much of a difference? Yes, it does. An inch is a lot, especially on the front wheels where the wheel size determines the stroller’s ability to get up and over rough terrains even before suspension can kick in to help and mitigate the bumps.

On the rear frame, not much has changed on the Bee 6 other than the dimensions of the wheel forks to accommodate for that extra inch. Although not much needs to be changed here , the brake system tends to function well and is easy to maintain and the rear suspension works great too. The rear frame of the Bee is built quite rigid , anchoring the model while the front end maneuvers its way around or over the terrain.

Switching to the front end, the main changes have something to do with accommodating the larger wheels involving a resizing of the forks and suspension to fit with the model’s increased terrain capabilities. Both the swivel locks and suspension pads protecting the front wheel housings from wear and awesome innovation were updated during previous iterations of the Bee and still work quite well.

The connection point between the front wheels and front housings is an area where the Bugaboo design has been uncannily clever throughout their history. It is quite rare that problems develop here on any of their models, the Bee’s Plus being one of the Bugaboo’s models to have had significant issues in this aspect, which were quickly overcompensated for with the next update.

So, is Bugaboo worth the recommendation? The answer to this pretty much relies on your lifestyle and the terrain where you live. This whole class of stroller is specialized towards a lifestyle with minimal stroller use, a smoother environment, and a particular need for a smaller folding model. This means a city life with a small car, though the Bee 6 will be fine in the smoother suburbs as well.

There is one advantage to this model which is worth pointing out. That is with the increased size of the wheels, the Bee 6 does have somewhat better drivability than a lot of competing small size models, which may give it a slight edge in urban environments with poorly maintained streets or older European cities with a lot of cobblestones, though this would have to be Southern European cities. As like any model of its size, the Bee 6 naturally will have trouble tackling snow and icy winter conditions.

Even then though, the Bee 6 is unfortunately not a favorite in the small size, daily category level. So, unless you are a diehard Bugaboo fan, we recommend shopping around a little before forking out thousand bucks.

A Tried-and-Tested Review of the New Bugaboo Bee 6

I’m a Virgo. Now, I don’t know yet what exactly that means for me as a mom (though I have my guesses), but I can definitely tell you what it says about me as a pregnant lady: It took every ounce of strength in my body to stop myself from obsessively Googling strollers before bebé was even the size of a bean.

Fast forward to cauliflower-sized baby, and I’ve finally waded through the options enough that I can narrow down my main stroller criteria to four important must-haves: 1) I need a guarantee that is has a smooth, buttery ride that can navigate both the sidewalks and lakeside park terrain outside my doorstep; 2) Jeez, some of those popular strollers are huge , but I am hellbent on finding a full-size stroller that still feels manageable and sleek; 3) I want the option to have baby facing me because, well, I’m a controlling Virgo, remember?; and 4) It needs to have adequate UPF protection.

This all seemed like a big ask from someone who was trying to exclusively shop for strollers online. But then I thought, no way am I the only one. So for all the city parents out there dealing with a COVID-era pregnancy who aren’t really into the idea of the high touch-points in the BuyBuyBaby store, I’m doing a little gear testing from the perspective of a first-time mom. Starting with the new Bugaboo Bee 6 stroller. Because if you’re anything like me, you need to hear the important details loud and clear—without having to touch anything right now.

: 37 Amazing Gifts for New Moms (That Are for Her, Not the Baby)

What’s The Bugaboo Bee 6?

You’ve likely heard of Bugaboo, or at least seen photos of Gigi Hadid pushing her daughter Khai in one down the streets of NYC. Yes, it’s luxury brand, but it hovers somewhere around Uppababy and Nuna for those who are willing and able to spend a little more on their setup. Bugaboo, however, is arguably the most established in that category, having been around for over 20 years and having pioneered purposeful stroller design and engineering in the process. They offer all kinds of models, from ultra-compact to a convertible option for twins or growing families, and the Bugaboo Bee 6 fits nicely in between. The Bee has been around since 2007 and seen several iterations, the 6 being the latest that just came out this year.

So, Is It Buttery?

Like a stick of Kerrygold that’s been sitting on the counter for exactly 1.5 hours. Seriously, I was shocked at how smooth the suspension was and how well it absorbed bumps and cracks. The wheels were not sticky at all, even with the extra weight of my 13-pound cat in the seat (he’s a good sport). It makes sense: The 4-wheel suspension in the Bugaboo Bee 6 has a damping mechanism that offers extra shock absorption so that you can even steer it with one hand if you need to. And the wheels are a large 7-inches, not to mention puncture-proof, so I can take it off the sidewalk my townhouse is on into grassy areas and dirt paths in the park across the street, no problem.

How’s The Design, Really?

Not gonna lie, I was impressed. I live in an urban area in Denver, and the sun here is just so, so strong—without a lot of shade. Having a UPF 50+ sun canopy was critical to me, and not only does the Bee 6 have that, but the size of the canopy is pretty remarkable too. It almost shields the whole seat (when upright) while offering a little peekaboo panel so I can look down into it and check on whatever is in there (currently cat, but soon to be baby). Right now on the Bugaboo website there are four canopy colors to choose from (pink, black, grey and their signature yellow), but starting March 1 they’re releasing more options including a gorgeous brilliant red, powder blue and natural taupe.

As for the seat: It can face both ways! And the fabric is top notch. It’s a new-to-this-model breathable mesh material that is actually very cushy, and the seat support has ventilation holes that make it ideal for summer. The seat does not lie completely flat, but Bugaboo offers a bassinet and a cocoon for that (both of these accessories create a completely flat surface safe for newborns, and if you want the bassinet, you can purchase it with the stroller as a set ).

It was seriously so easy to put together from start to finish, despite the directions being all pictures (which somehow is harder? Still, the parts are mostly very logical). Again, I love the fact that the seat can be front- or rear-facing. The basket holds 8.8 pounds—not the most, but hear me out. I have a comfortable, backpack style diaper bag, and I’m getting an organizer to hang from the handle. And I’m not planning to use the stroller as a shopping cart. So sacrificing a few pounds of weight support in the basket is absolutely worth it to be able to have a lightweight (only 23.2 pounds!!), sleek frame that doesn’t feel like I’m pushing a bus. If you’re wondering how it compares to the Uppababy Cruz—another really popular stroller right now—it just doesn’t for me. At least, in terms of not feeling like you’re pushing lead.

Two triggers on the front of the handlebar collapse the stroller with just one hand – perfect if you’re holding a cat, I mean baby in one arm and only have access to using the other. I did have to Google a video for exactly how to do that, but once I got a visual for how it’s done, it clicked and I can confidently do it every time.

One pretty great benefit that stands out to me on that front is the kickstand. Once the stroller is collapsed, the kickstand holds it upright so that it’s compact and supported. It won’t tip over if you need to prop it somewhere without leaning it on a wall. Genius.

Lastly, it seamlessly connects to the new Turtle One by Nuna car seat without an adaptor, but it can also connect to Maxi Cosi, Chicco and Peg Perego car seats if you buy the correct adaptor accessory.

Final thoughts:

This stroller is the best of both worlds, no question. It’s full size and has a decent basket, but it collapses into a really compact form. It’s great for the city, but it’s durable enough for more rugged surfaces. It’s sun-safe and it’s beautiful. Period. Honestly, when I look at it, I think damn, that’s one lucky baby. It’s an ideal stroller for anyone who wants the comfort and convenience of a full-size stroller without the bulk, no matter where you live, and who wants to look really darn good pushing it.

In terms of space when folded, it's a bit larger than other small strollers like the YoYo, but definitely not as cumbersome as some full-sized options.

Brazil aren't firing on all cylinders

Although they had been looking better lately, especially after the win at Wembley against England and the draw at the Bernabeu against Spain, Brazil are far from the level they should be at.

It is true that in a game like today's they would normally have won, but the reality is that they have not won any of their last five official matches, suffering two draws alongside three defeats.

At this point, Dorival Junior has not found the key.

Perfect stat to sum this match up

Brazil end the game with 50 touches in the opposition box.

Costa Rica? Two.

Savio has impressed

90+3' Brazil 0-0 Costa Rica

Costa Rica run some time off the clock by replacing Brandon Aguilera and Ariel Lassiter with Gerald Taylor and Joseph Mora.

Guimaraes is the latest Brazil player to miss a fantastic chance to finally score, firing over the target from close range.

Costa Rica clinging on

88' Brazil 0-0 Costa Rica

Sequeira comes out to claim a long ball forward but fumbles the ball after colliding with Rodrygo. Brazil have a great chance to finally break through but can't find the final ball.

Brazil desperate for a penalty

87' Brazil 0-0 Costa Rica

Rodrygo falls over quite easily under contact in the Costa Rica box and Brazil appeal for a penalty for at least the fourth time in this match.

Brazil can't find a way through

85' Brazil 0-0 Costa Rica

Savio skips past a few defenders at the edge of Costa Rica's box before taking a shot that's blocked by Vargas.

Militao booked

80' Brazil 0-0 Costa Rica

79' Brazil 0-0 Costa Rica
