Having a baby is one of the most joyous and momentous occasions in life – bringing new life into the world is in itself a very precious thing and as a new parent all you will want to do is as much as you possibly can to keep your baby safe. One of the ways in which this will be particularly important is when you are moving them around and carrying them to and from the car and taking them out for a stroll. The modern day pushchair or travel system is a complex thing and it is important that you choose the right one.

The Bugaboo Bee is just one example of a modern travel solution for people who lead modern lives and want to ensure that their babies get the very best. This is a compact travel system, designed ideally for those city living parents who want all of the functionality of a travel system but without needing lots of space to store one.

Amongst other things this travel system features swivel wheels, a three position reclining seat – which means that it is suitable from birth – and an extendable seat with a height adjustable back rest to allow the travel system to accommodate the child as he or she grows. It is also car seat adaptable and comes in a range of different colours including blue, pink, yellow and black.

Another popular travel system from the same manufacturer is the Bugaboo Donkey. This pushchair is ideal for those parents with twins or more than one small child as it easily converts from a mono-pushchair to a full sized duo pushchair in just a couple of clicks. It features flexible and multiple storage space which allows parents to carry their shopping and baby accessories around with them as well.

When using a modern pushchair or travel system such as the Bugaboo Bee or the Bugaboo Donkey parents can rest assured that their little ones are safely contained whilst at the same time allowing the parents to store any necessary items and move around with ease.

When you want to do the best you can for your newborn child and want to ensure that you can easily take them wherever you go and know that they are safe and comfortable then you will need to ensure that you get the right travel system, pushchair and car seat for you. Regulations have changed over recent years and now newborn babies must have a full lie-back seat unit. This can come in the form of a carry cot that fits onto a pushchair unit, allowing you to move your baby to and from the car or house without disturbing them.

The Quinny Moodd range of pushchairs is ideal for parents who want to extend their sense of style to the accessories they choose for their young ones. Not only does this range of pushchairs look great but it also offers a lot of useful features that will appeal to anyone with a baby in tow. It is very user friendly and has a smooth operating system so that it unfolds automatically – perfect if you have the shopping in one hand and need to collapse the pushchair to place it in the car.

There are eight different colours to choose from when selecting what colour pushchair you would like. Another product from the same manufacturer that also offers a great range of colours plus fantastic features to offer parents as much functionality and usability as possible is the Quinny Buzz. It features a clever and yet practical design that will appeal to parents who are looking for something that not only looks good but is very user friendly at the same time.

The best place to find items such as this is online via specialist retailers who offer a wide range of baby items for sale including pushchairs and car seats. Online retailers usually offer better prices than the high street stores and provide a wider range of products than most shops. You can choose not just the Quinny Buzz pushchairs themselves but also the car seats and carry cots that match this range – so you can get everything you need from just one place.

Delivery is usually fast and hassle free and can often be offered free of charge when you spend over a certain amount, meaning you can have your ideal Quinny Moodd pushchair in plenty of time for your little one to make his or her entrance into the world.

When parents of newborns or those expectantly awaiting the arrival of their child are looking to buy all of the items they will need to look after their young ones one of the most important items will be a pushchair or travel system to allow their baby to travel around with them. This may be one of the first items they buy or it could be something they leave until the last minute, being unable to choose between the many products on the market and trying to differentiate between them to find the best pushchair for their needs.

They may have heard of the Bugaboo Cameleon, for example, but not really understand what is so great about this pushchair. So let’s take a look at it and find out what are its best features. Firstly the cameleon comes with a carry cot which means that it is suitable for use from birth. It is available in a wide range of different colour choices, giving parents chance to express their own personality and style.

Once the child is six months old the Bugaboo cameleon can be configured to be either parent facing or forward facing – depending upon the preferences of both parent and child and it has a choice of 3 reclining positions in either of these settings – to allow for the maximum comfort of the child.

Another pushchair vying for would-be parents’ attention is the Bugaboo Bee. This compact travel system is ideal for parents who have got limited space at home to store a pushchair or who have a small compact car and thus not much space in the boot to keep this item when travelling around. Again available in a wide range of colours to give that stamp of originality, the Bee is suitable for use for newborns up to toddlers.

Whether it is the Bugaboo Bee or Cameleon that parents finally opt for, it doesn’t really matter, what counts is that they have found the ideal travel system to meet their needs both in terms of size, flexibility, functionality and style.

To learn more about the Bugaboo Cameleon you could check out our website where you can browse the entire range including the Bugaboo Bee.

When expectant parents and those who have just greeted the arrival of their newborn child or children, are looking for a suitable pushchair or travel system to enable them to travel around with their babies it can be a difficult and time consuming task. There are so many trendy and fantastically easy to operate pushchairs out there that getting the right one is tricky. For example should parents choose the Quinny Buzz or opt instead for the Britax B Smart? Perhaps the only way is to review their best features.

Firstly, the Quinny Buzz offers a revolutionary and unique folding system, meaning busy parents and carers can open and unfold the pushchair with just one hand – perfect if you have a toddler or a bag of shopping in the other. It is easy to manoeuvre with lockable and swivel wheels and comes with forward facing and rearward facing seating options. All of this sounds great doesn’t it?

Well it does until you hear about the Britax B Smart and then you might have trouble making up your mind. As one of the leading manufacturers of such products and one of the best known brands in baby products it is easy to see why many people would opt for the B smart. It is available in a 3 or 4 wheel version, comes in five different colours and one of the best things about this pushchair is that it has a lightweight aluminium frame which means it is easy to manoeuvre, fold up and transport around.

Being easy to operate and place into a car boot is probably one of the most important features of any pushchair as it needs to be easy for the parents to operate. However, the Quinny Buzz and its competitors also need to provide optimum safety and comfort for their young passengers. Which is why they are both suitable from birth and usually come with a sun canopy to keep young skin sheltered from too much sun exposure and a rain cover to keep babies dry during a downpour.

At the end of the day the final decision will probably come down to price and the amount of space the pushchair takes up both when stored at home and in a car boot. Both the Britax B Smart and the Buzz are both just one item in a big range of choices from their manufacturers and sometimes parents just need to plump for the one they like the look of best.

When new parents are looking for the ideal pushchair and travel system for their new born children they may be perplexed by the sheer number and variety of products on offer. It can sometimes make it hard to decide which will be the most beneficial for them and their baby which is why it can be useful to review the products on offer first and evaluate their benefits before reaching a final decision.

One sure contender in the race will be the Britax B Smart pushchair. This new range of pushchairs, available in 3 wheel or 4 wheel options, is likely to take the world of parenting by storm as it offers a huge range of functional and practical features to delight parents and keep babies happy and comfortable.

One of the main benefits of the Britax B Smart pushchair is that it has a lightweight aluminium chassis, weighing just 11.7KG so you can easily push it with one hand whilst you have the other one firmly attached to your toddler, partner or precious bag of shopping. It is a pushchair that can be used from birth as it allows your baby to lie completely flat – as per current guidelines – and because of its generous size it will easily accommodate your child up until the age of three and a half or four.

Another contender from the same manufacturer is the Britax B-Dual travel system which often includes a free second seat and a free Baby Safe Infant Carrier, making it a pushchair that grows with your family to accommodate one or two children. This trendy pushchair is available in black or red and features a spacious shopping basket for parents to pick up essentials and a lockable/swivel wheels for easy manoeuvring.

Whether it is the britax b-dual or the b smart pushchair that parents end up choosing they both have a whole host of benefits and the best thing to do is look online or visit a retailer to get a better idea of just how perfect one of these could be for you.

Bugaboo Bee Review

Welcome to the Bugaboo Bee Review from BabyBabyOnline. Over the course of the Bugaboo Bee review, we will give you a really in depth overview of the Bee Stroller, how it operates, do’s and don’ts along with our opinion on what the Bugaboo is capable of and what it’s not.  At BabyBabyOnline, we rely on lots of referrals to bring people to our showroom and thus we give advice based on the information we receive when talking to our customers. We have collated vast knowledge on the Bugaboo Bee over the years and will attempt to convey this in this review to at least help you to make an informed choice on whether the Bugaboo is the right stroller for you and your lifestyle.

Bugaboo Bee 2012

Bugaboo Bee Introduction

Before we start on the introduction, we need to clarify some confusion around the Bugaboo Bee’s name. The first version of the Bugaboo Bee was phased out in 2010 and a new version released called the Bugaboo Bee PLUS.  Bugaboo chose to add the ‘PLUS’ so as to allow both retailers and customers distinguish between the two different models.  The Bugaboo Bee PLUS was launched around April 2010 so for a period of time both versions were being sold. Around August 2011 Bugaboo made the decision to drop the ‘PLUS’ and revert back to plain old Bugaboo Bee. In short, any Bugaboo Bee being sold online now should be the latest version. All Bugaboo Bee’s sold by BabyBabyOnline are the latest versions and are new in stock from Bugaboo.

There is a simple way to tell the difference between the ‘Old’ and the ‘New’ Bugaboo Bee Strollers. See the image below. The ‘Old’ Bugaboo Bee strollers have solid wheels.

Bugaboo Bee Wheels - New and Old

Speaking of wheels, in the latter part of 2011 there was an issue with the front wheels jamming and/or shimmying on Bugaboo Bee’s manufactured after February 2011 and up to September 2011. This issue has been completely resolved with new wheel units being fitted on all new Bee Strollers. Any Bee Strollers already in circulation will have free of charge upgraded replacement wheels retrofitted by Bugaboo.

As with all Bugaboo strollers design innovation combined with quality materials are evident and the Bugaboo Bee is no exception.  The Bee Stroller is completely designed and manufactured by Bugaboo here in Europe.

The Bugaboo Bee is an about town stroller 100%. It is not designed for use off road; if this is you then take a look at the Cameleon. There are two main types of customer we find that buy a Bugaboo Bee.

1. Customers that live in a City and tend not to drive and use public transport
2. Customers who have limited space at home and/or in the boot of the car.

The Bugaboo Bee comes with a silver chassis as standard with a black seat unit. There are 10 hood colours to choose from too so you can customise your Bugaboo Bee. Of course there are matching accessories such as Baby Cocoons, footmuff and parasols.

Nevertheless, if this is not you the Bugaboo Bee can still be a fantastic buggy and if you read on we hope you will be able to at least make that decision with a little more insight.

What do you get in the Bugaboo Bee Box?

When you first get your New Bugaboo you should check that the following are included:

• 1 x Bugaboo Bee Chassis inc Rear Wheels (already attached)
• 2 x Bugaboo Bee Front wheels
• 1 x Bugaboo Bee Seat Unit (already attached to chassis)
• 2 x Canopy Brackets
• 2 x Canopy wire frames
• 1 x Rain Cover
• 1 x Document package

As the Bugaboo Bee is available with different coloured canopies, to make the full buggy you will order the Base Buggy as detailed above plus the Canopy in the colour of your choice. The Canopy may also be included to the main Bugaboo Bee Box so as to ship it altogether.

Assembling the Bugaboo Bee

Assembly of the Bugaboo Bee is pretty simple as for the most part the Bee comes ready assembled. Taking the Bee out of the box you will find the seat unit already attached to the chassis. The following steps will get your Bugaboo Bee assembled in no time.

1. Take Bee chassis out of box and remove all packaging. Also locate 2 x front swivel wheels and remove packaging.
2. Take Bugaboo Bee chassis and hold foam handle bar at the top with two hands with white brake pedal facing you. The two chrome spindles on which the front wheels attach will be facing away from you.
3. Place your foot on the white brake pedal and push down while pulling firmly on the handle bar. This will open the up the chassis. To check the chassis is open fully you should be able to see a green arrow on each side at the front of the Bee Chassis.
4. To Fit the wheels simply slide the wheels on to the chrome spindles at the front of the Bee Chassis. You will feel each wheel click into place. Try to remove the wheel to make sure they are fitted correctly.
5. Fitting the hood/Canopy is relatively easy too. Locate the Bee Canopy Wires and Canopy Brackets from the Bugaboo Bee Box. Insert the two Canopy brackets into the side of the Bugaboo Bee Seat unit.
6. Take the Hood Canopy and insert the two Canopy Wire Frames. Once inserted correctly insert the Chrome ends of the canopy wires into the Bee Canopy Brackets.
7. Once the Canopy is in place complete the fitting by securing the Canopy to the rear of the Bee Seat.

Using your Bugaboo Bee

The Bugaboo Bee has a whole host of nice features which set it apart from other strollers in its class. Below you will find an explanation of some of the main features with images that will hopefully help you with getting to know the Bugaboo Bee  a little better.

The seat unit on the Bee is lay flat and is thus suitable for use from birth up to 3 1/2yrs apx. It is recommended that the Bugaboo Bee Cocoon is used to provide extra comfort and protection for newborns. The Seat unit has multiple recline positions, is both forward and rear facing as well as having adjustable back rest and base.

To alter the angle of the seat back of the Bugaboo Bee simply squeeze the white button at the rear of the seat (see image Left). This will allow you to then adjust the seat unit from upright to lie flat as you so wish as shown in the images below. Of course the seat unit will recline to the same positions in the forward facing mode too.

 In additon, to the basic adjustments that can be made there are two more specific adjustments that can be made to the seat. These are adjustments that will allow the seat unit to expand as your child grows. The Seat Back can be raised in height and the seat base can also be extended forward. To extend the back rest, there is a small black lip just above the white button that you use to alter the recline, simply pull this black lip upwards and the sesat will extend out. See image below. In order to adjust the seat base simple pull the seat base away from the back rest and your seat will extend out.

One other important feature of the seat is that it can be both forward and parent facing. To change the orientation of the seat, the back rest must be folded completely forward onto the seat base (See image below). Once in this position you can lift the seat off of the Buagboo Bee chassis.

The Bugaboo Bee has swivel front wheels which are easily lockable should you want a little extra peace of mind when going over more rough ground. The Bugaboo Bee is a versatile travel system and is ideal for use from birth with the addition of the Bugaboo Bee Cocoon. The Bee Cocoon comes in all of the standard colours to match the Canopy’s of the Bugaboo Bee’s. If you choose the limited edition canopy’s then Black is the colour option we recommend.

With the additon of the Maxi-Cosi adapters you can easily attach either the Maxi-Cosi Pebble or CabrioFix infant carrier to form a travel system. The Maxi-Cosi seats can be fitted even when the seat unit is still on the chassis however, you will need to remove the Baby Cocoon if you want to fit the Maxi-Cosi.

Finally, the Bugaboo Bee is one of the most compact folding pushchairs on the market as you can see in the image below. would love you to send in your pictures of your Bugaboo Bee in your car boot.

Baby Baby is expanding the range of products offered at the Solihull Showroom with the addition of the Luxury Nursery Brand – Bloom

Bloom is a relatively new company to the nursery market providing top end, stylish and contemporary Cots, Cribs, Baby highchairs and baby loungers. Bloom shot to fame with the Fresco Highchair, aka the egg highchair and has since expanded the range of products offered in 3 main areas: Eat, Live, Dream.

EAT: Bloom has 3 highchairs in its range all at differing price points but all with the Bloom contemporary styling.

The Bloom Fresco Classic and Fresco Loft share the same design with one main difference. The Fresco Loft, as the name suggests can be used at a height a little higher than the classic and is thus suitable for use at breakfast bars as well as tables. The Fresco bloom is the only contemporary chair that stays with baby from birth to school age. Bloom’s European design team created the Fresco to provide families with a 3-in-1 resting, feeding and play chair in a style that fits the contemporary home.

The Bloom Nano highchair with its European styling and flat fold design is ideal for contemporary families living in smaller urban spaces.

More will follow next time when we will explore Bloom Sleep and Live ranges.

At the Baby Baby Showroom in Solihull near Birmingham we have the full range of Bloom Products on Display including:

Bloom Fresco Classic, Bloom Fresco Loft, Bloom Nano, Bloom Coco Lounger, Bloom Alma Crib, Bloom Alma Papa, Bloom Alma Dresser, Bloom Luxo CotBed and Bloom Luxo Dresser.

BBC Newsreader Kate Silverton takes baby walking with Jané Trider Pushchair

Kate Silverton steps out with her newborn baby daughter Clemency in a Jané Trider Pushchair complete with the Jané Matrix lie-flat car seat.

Kate is a highly accomplished journalist and popular presenter of BBC News, current affairs and entertainment programmes.

Having done her own research Kate decided to choose the Jané Trider Matrix system because of its compactness, versatility and the healthier Matrix light car seat system, perfect for her trips in town and strolls across country and says ‘the pram is a joy to push and the different components fit in and out with minimal fuss’.

Jané has always been a market leader in 3 wheelers and the Trider is the latest generation in a long line of trailblazing designs. It offers you a chassis with minimalist style but with all the benefits of an extreme design.

The Matrix Light (patented) is the only multi-functional infant car seat/carrycot on the market that uniquely offers the option of the baby safely travelling in the sitting-up or the healthier lying-flat position as recommended by health officials.

The New Jané Trider Matrix is now available at from BabyBabyOnline

The New Mima Kobi twin Stroller arrived in store today and is already on display causing a stir.

The Mima Kobi is the ideal pushchair for families with more than one Baby. It is suitable for Twins, Toddler and newborn or simply one child. The great thing about the Koni, other than its amazing contemporary looks is that at much the same size as a normal pushchair it can be upgraded from a single to a double should child number 2 pop along whilst child number 1 is still using athe pushchair.

It is quite common to see parents coming into our store to buy a second buggy to take 2 children even though they still have a perfectly good single buggy at home. With the Mima Kobi you can plan ahead in the knowledge that you dont need to compromise on quality and style.

Like its little sister the Xari, The Mima Kobi utilises the same patented ‘Carrycot inside’ system which means a carrycot is only 15 seconds away should you need it.

Most Tandem or Double buggies are big bulky affiars that don’t always look good to the eye. The Mima Kobi is the first system to break this mold by offering stylish contemporary looks, high end materials and construction with the flexibility you come to expect from a double travel system.

Visit the Baby Baby Showroom today for a full demonstration of the Mima Xari and Mima Kobi Pushchairs or click the link below for more details

Mima Kobi

At Baby Baby we are so excited to announce the arrival of the all new Mima Xari Pushchair. In fact, Baby Baby is the First  independent retailer in the UK to have the Mimi Xari on display.

In a nut shell, the Mima Xari Pushchair is like nothing else currently on the market in terms of looks and the materials used. To say the Mima Xari is contemporary is an understatement. It looks so cool and the way the Carrycot is hidden in the seat unit is pure genius. For the first time in a buggy, if your child falls asleep in the seat unit you can easily convert the seat to the carry cot without the need for 2 separate items. The Mima Xari is compatible with Maxi-Cosi infant carriers as you would expect to allow you to have the flexibility of a 3in1 Travel system.

Below are a few taster images of the Mima Xari just so you can get a flavour of what the Mima Xari is all about.

Let us know what you think of the first preview. We know you will love the New Mima Xari Pushchair.
