An extremely high quality, well designed product

Easy to push and manoeuvre, comfortable for the little one, well made, good storage (in pushchair mode). Very easy to use and adjust (except folding). Lots of useful accessories. The wheeled travel bag they sell for it mean you can take it on a plane without risk of damage.
Pricey but you get what you pay for and there are loads out there second hand. There is a fault with the hinge design and they can stop folding after a few year but can be fixed if it's out of warranty. The mark 1 models are difficult to fold unless you have very strong fingers. The issue has been fixed with the mark 2 models though.
Our is now 5 years old and still looking great despite the abuse it's had. I can't recommend it enough.

Best Buggy ever!!! You pay for what you get and thats quality!!

Very easy to manouver, looks much better than other buggies, very stylish. Good if you plan on having more children as you could change colour to suit boy or girl.. If you do plan on selling they still go for quite alot on ebay. The perfect buggy. Anyone that disses is obviously jealous.
it is a hefty price tag but well worth it.
excellent, best buggy out there

A great pram

Exceptionally light and easy to steer. Great for getting around shops where space is tight. Fab for new-borns in "pram" mode. Quick and easy to fold.
The frame can't be folded with the pram/seat attached.
The frame is large and takes up a lot of space in a car.
Overall I love my bugaboo chameleon. It's so lightweight but sturdy, easy to steer with one hand if necessary and cosy for a newborn.
The separate UV sunshield is brilliant for keeping the sun off baby.
This is a great pram if you walk a lot to and from school with an older child and want your baby to be comfortable/sleep well while you're out. I use the carrycot inside the house for daytime naps too.
The frame is large and fills my MPV boot which is a downside, but I tend to walk more than I use the car. It would be impossible to use on public transport though.

Disappointing icandy cherry.

Easy to maneuver
Easy to handle on public transport
Comfortable carry cot for baby
Difficult to remove carry cot from unit - can be very fiddly.
Tread on wheels ware very quickly.
Have unfortunately encountered a fault with the front wheel
4 month old already outgrowing carry cot
Purchased the icandy Cherry in February 2010 after months of research and sadly feel not very happy with the purchase. Retailers suggest travel system will last until baby is 2.5 to 3 years which I feel very doubtful of. I am pleased with how easy it is to push and steer. Nice and light weight making it easy to handle on and off buses.

LOVE IT!

good manouvrebility, it'll turn on a sixpence.
comfy.
only need one buggy when my friends have had at least 2 each so far! (kids are 10 months)
doesn't fold up very small. You need a big boot!
I just love it!! I don't really have any bad points to say - the not folding up small isn't a problem for us as we have a big car.
I would buy a bugaboo again (and again)
