This Bougie Buggy Is The Ultimate Pushchair For Stylish New Parents

The juggle for a new parent is real. You’ll be getting to grips with a new-born, a disrupted routine and the seemingly endless pieces of kiddy-related kit that will now need to accompany you at all times. And while we can’t influence a baby’s sleep habits, we can make it a little easier to navigate the latest baby accessories that will make your new life go a little smoother. The first big buy for a lot of expecting parents is a pushchair – and it’s also the greatest investment so you need to get it right. And while there are plenty of options on the market, there’s one brand name that comes up time and time again as the crème de la crème of strollers – Bugaboo. 

Bugaboo’s bougie buggies are considered by many to be the gold standard in strollers. With sleek, modern designs that are made with the highest care and quality, you only need to look at the stylish cohort of celebrities who have been spotted parading their prams around town, from Kate Middleton and Megan Markle to Gigi Hadid. Now, the latest iteration of its iconic Fox design - the Fox 5 - is set to cement its status as the best pushchair for new borns that money can buy.

Safety comes first for Bugaboo, and the Fox 5 suggests in a captivating new video that it is the next best way to carry your baby outside your own body. Warm, safe and ultra comfortable, nothing can compete with nature - but it tries. We know how hard it can be when it comes to pram shopping especially online, so we’ll make it really easy to see just why the Fox 5 is worthy of this accolade. The overall Fox design gets rave reviews from parents on to the go thanks to the extra large puncture-proof wheels and full suspension that offers comfort on any terrain. That, and the sturdy chassis style, means no getting stuck trying to awkwardly manoeuvre yourself off a kerb or onto the train (something you will come to appreciate massively when no one is around to help).

Versus the popular Foxes that have come before it, namely the most recent Fox 3, the 5 has some clever updates that take it to the next level. Flying solo? You’ll appreciate the one-hand adjustment mechanism, meaning you can adjust the handlebar, recline the seat and even fold the whole thing away in one easy swoop – all while holding your baby in your other arm for some serious multitasking. To make life easier, there’s room to store even more essential items under the seat thanks to the extendable flaps. And, to get more use for longer as your little one grows, the footrest and sun canopy are now extendable by a further 10cm, while the seat rest and carrycot are 1cm higher to bring baby a little closer and make you a little more comfortable all round.

But let’s not forget – for Bugaboo enthusiasts, there’s also the style element to consider too. And, of course, the Fox 5 is a sight to behold. It’s sleek and undeniably modern – and the colour combinations are undeniably chic. In addition to the usual shades you might expect, there’s 1 new colour – Astro Purple – that’s exclusive to this design. And just like the greener choices we try to make when it comes to our clothing, the Fox 5 is made with bio-based material reducing CO2 emissions by up to 20%. It’s expensive, sure, but you’re paying for a luxury product – and this pushchair is undeniably premium inside and out.
