The new Bugaboo Bee5 stroller is one of the most beautiful thing we’ve ever seen, literally. There are a whole bunch of upgrades to the stroller and we’re having a lot of inquiries as to how the Bee5 compares to the older Bee3 stroller, so we’ve decided to simplify the details with one of our awesome comparison charts below:

Birdy
Hi Rachel/ Ellena – is this a big pain (to remove the seat + canopy to use car seat adaptor?). Just trying to decide between the bee3 and bee5 and if its a faff to add car seat adaptor every time i may just stick to the bee 3 (first time mum here, hence the lack of knowledge!) x
Ellena
Hi Birdy – it’s actually really really easy to use your Bugaboo Bee stroller base with a car seat. The adapters can stay on when you fold your stroller

Just wondering if the baskets are different on the bee 3 vs 5 and if they are interchangeable? Thankyou
