Bugaboo Debuts New and Improved Bee!

Moms are buzzing about the newly redesigned Bugaboo Bee ($650, left) — and for good reason.

The original Bee ($529) — which is the ride of choice for celeb babies like Levi McConaughey and Violet Grohl — is known for its smooth ride.

But the updated version boasts some noteworthy improvements. And with the increase in price, this makes all the difference.

Topping our list is the new wider backrest. Not only does it simultaneously adjust with the stroller’s sun canopy and 5-point harness, but you can move it into four different positions.

The stroller also features a comfy, ergonomically shaped seat that easily turns to face you or the world.

The height-adjustable handlebars, redesigned wheels and new brake system are also impressive.

With all these changes, Bugaboo made sure to keep the compact fold — one of our favorite features from the original.

There are also lots of handy add-ons including a reversible bamboo seat liner ($60) and an extendable sun canopy ($70).

Look out for the new Bee in April! Check here for news.

Anybody know if these work on the beach? Looking for a stroller that wheels easily on the sand/dunes?

I would not recommend this for the beach. Perhaps something like the “Jeep Jogging Stroller” would be better because of the height of the wheels, and off-road capabilities.

Of course this won’t work on the beach. Look at the thin wheels. I don’t mean to be rude, but you really need to use some common sense.

Lori doesn’t mean to be rude but decided to go ahead and be rude anyway. Maybe Lori could really use some manners.

I like the look of the old bee better….
