It was in , while at the highly respected Design Academy Eindhoven , Bugaboo co-founder Max Barenbrug who was 29 and childless at the time, along with initial investment from Eduard Zanen earned the highest honours for his mobility concept project, which included a versatile city pushchair designed for modern urban parents! His graduation project came about because he considered the buggies he had witnessed thou far boring, impractical — and, he frankly wanted to design a buggy that would appeal to men too!
He spotted early on that fathers were uncomfortable pushing them and, most were too short for Dutch men to boot. He applied for a patent straight away. And, we could say the rest is history. But, that would be no fun as from project-to-pavement the Bugaboo has constantly reinvented the stroller market to become a cult classic — and, plus we wanted to explore and celebrate the how-and-why with these 20 interesting facts and key moments of Bugaboo!
The first Bugaboo Classic was launched in Holland in The Bugaboo website officially launched and the Bugaboo logo of 3 overlapping circles communicates the Bugaboo ideals: m obility, movement and connection. Fuelled by a passion for innovation, Barenbrug then evolved the chassis of his original design, giving it a frog -like suspension and the modular, multi-terrain, infant-to-toddler — and, the Bugaboo Frog was born.
Spotted while she frantically prepared for work after a sleepless night with her new baby and, shown in a further scene involving new mum Miranda chatting with Carrie Sarah Jessica Parker.
This was further and, eternally endorsed when celebrities — and first time mums, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Victoria Beckham were pictured pushing them. Bugaboo is first introduced the the UK. Staking its design-led credentials once more Bugaboo launches the perfect pair of jeans — in a special edition denim Bugaboo Frog. The first of many denim and catwalk-led colour and fabric collections.
The year Bugaboo became a family. Expanding its product line to include two new products for the modern and now very demanding new parent — the fully-loaded Bugaboo Cameleon and the essentials only Bugaboo Gecko. The inaugural effort, in cooperation with the Dutch Fashion Foundation, features a limited edition Bugaboo Cameleon designed by cutting-edge artist, Bas Kosters. He designed a completely white stroller the frames and all plastic components a challenge, which came to fruition just 2 years later.
Bugaboo get a new home at its Amsterdam HQ to accommodate its growing company — having had only 7 employees in The new space inspires design innovation, sharing and exploration. This was also the year the Bugaboo travel bag was launched meaning globe-trotting parents could take their beloved stroller and keep it protected whenever they went too. In , the compact-yet-complete Bugaboo Bee was born, meeting the needs of urban dwellers that live life on the fly. The Bugaboo Bee offered swivel wheels, easy folding and was the ultimate statement piece that parents were proud to push around town.
The Baby Cocoon was also introduced to provide additional neck and head support for the smallest travellers, making the compact, easy and nimble Bugaboo Bee the complete and ideal buggy from newborn. What really makes the Bugaboo unique is the option to mix and match the stroller frame, seat, sun shade and more. This means you can refresh them with an on-trend look each season and ensure your buggy is a little bit different from the neighbours. The front wheels have a suspension system without visible springs and without the possibility to adjust the suspension.
The handlebar also cannot be adjusted. There is no bumper bar on the carrycot and the seat frame. The seat is reclined with a different mechanism. You cannot change the textiles and hoods on the Gecko, and it also comes in fewer color choices. I bought this stroller as a secondary one - because of the bucket-type seat unit because my daughter was born prematurely and could not sit by herself for a longer time.
The Gecko is alot smaller than the cameleon seat wise and my 2 year old has room to spare in the cameleon where as she filled and looked squashed in the gecko, so not as longevity to use compared to the cameleon.
The handle on the gecko is quite low down and non adjustable so awkward if you are taller than 5'3". The sun hood is tiny and offers no real protection or coverage compared to the massive hood on the cameleon. The shopping basket is also not so big and would be filled just by the rainocver being in there wereas the cameleon basket is huge and expandable. The fleeces are non changeable nor do they fit on the gecko.
Summing up better longevity and space in the cameleon if you only wanted to buy one pram and the added extra features make the cameleon the much better option and not worth the saving as you can quite easily have the cameleon as the only pram from birth to 4 years no fun buying loads of different prams- optional tho!
I have had a frog and that is exactly an inbetween model smaller than the cameleon but bigger than the gecko.
