Having reluctantly forked out for a Bugaboo Bee for my first baby I'm now wondering if it's worth spending money on summer accessories?


The options are a 'breezy sun canopy' to replace the normal one, a 'UV sunshade' (freaky looking) and parasol. Are any of these neccessary? I'm thinking I can probably get away with the normal hood and suncreams in our climate, however am also planning a trip to Singapore to visit a friend for a month or so in the autumn. Perhaps it's worth investing in the sunshade but it looks so weird and I'm not sure how fun it would be to actually sit inside one of these!


Would appreciate some comments from Bugaboo Bee owners.


Thanks!

Don't have a bee, but UV sunshades in general are very good and a godsend if you are in mega sunshine, especially with a youngish baby you can cover in suncream. Most of them are made so it is quite hard to see in, but when inside it is fine to see out if that makes sense. Much nicer than having sun glaring in your eyes.


Parasols generally a waste of time - look pretty but unless parked up they don't block the sun unless you stock every few paces to adjust them, and if windy often get blown all over/broken.

Hiya, we had the "breezy" sun canopy, which was a pain to put on, and didn't provide any more shade than the normal cover, but I quite liked it on the (few) hot days, and it tended to stay on for a while and was also fine on dull days. Also quite liked the parasol, despite all the faff, in fact I quite enjoyed stopping to adjust it often as could smile and gawp at my (then quite new) baby! Was obsessed with making sure she was in the shade at all times and the angle of the sun. Those were the days, she would lie there in her pram in a happy way rather than screaming in disgust whenever restrained!


My husband hated all of the accessories, and the cost did add up. The sun canopy is definitely not essential, but some kind of device to provide shade will probably save stress.


What I really wanted was a drinks holder, but refused to pay ?15 for the Bugaboo one!


Suspect that some of the "universal" accessories, e.g. parasols, might fit fine, and are substantially cheaper than the Bugaboo ones.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
