travelling with bee Post Reply

Hi

Has anyone taken their Bugaboo Bee to a place with lots of snow?
We are taking our 3 month old to France and i wanted to know how easy or should i say how difficult it is to push the pram in a snow.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you

I took my Bugaboo to France and had a hard time pushing it through the snow... although it was useful inside, it got very little use outside unless the pavements were clear (which they tend to be unless there is fresh snow).

I'd also take your carrier... and you can get clips for your shoes so you don't slide around at all.

Good Luck and Have fun!

maybe i will have to get maclaren then. what do you think?

Hello

I live in Switzerland and have a Bugaboo Bee. Pushing it in snow is impossible. I seriously doubt that a Maclaren would be any better as it doesn't go very well over gravel etc as it doesn't have any grip. Friends of mine have the Bugaboo Cameleon and because they have the bigger tires with tread that works fine so I would hire or borrow something with bigger wheels!

We have a bee plus and we just came from a holiday. The result - one broken wheel. Bee is a nightmare to use on the snow. I guess it's because the wheels are too small and really narrow. Take something else with you if you only can. I ended up using a sling for the whole time...

We took our Phil and Ted to France in all the snow recently, and even that was difficult to push even with three wheels and big ones at that, so I'm not sure any buggy is easy.

I would say that the small wheels on a Bee are going to be pretty difficult.

Perhaps you could borrow an off road buggy for the week?

Second thoughts, with a three month old a Baby Bjorn might be much better and cosier too!
