Sorry if I'm being completely daft but can I just ask something re: folding up the new Bugaboo Bee? When it's in 'facing you' mode and I try and fold it up the seat falls out! Surely this can't be right? Maybe I'm not attaching the seat properly in the first place...?


Any experts out there who could advise - would be very grateful!

Annie, I also had this problem with the new model - went back to the shop I bought it from for advice and was told that this will occasionally happen when in rear-facing mode.


Not entirely helpful (I guess it's a bit of a design flaw) but have now worked out that there's a bit of precision involved to avoid the seat falling out when folding - (I hope this makes sense) the stage after you close the seat up is crucial; (stand at the side of the bee when doing the next bit helps) when moving the folded seat part back towards the handle make sure that the folded seat is in line with the diagonal sides of the handle (sorry, not sure if this is the best way to describe it!). If the folded seat goes to it's furthest point beyond the diagonal side of the handle, the whole seat unit will fall/drop out when you fold the whole pushchair. Return to stand behind the pushchair handle and use the handle button/switches to fold the pushchair as normal.


Sandy - Not sure if your model is in rear-facing mode, but if so, then similar to above suggestion, the stage after you close the seat up is crucial; (stand at the side of the bee when doing the next bit helps) when moving the folded seat part back towards the handle make sure that the folded seat goes to it's furthest point beyond the diagonal side of the handle, to remove the seat unit either lift the seat unit up (the catches that hold the seat unit in place are vertical in relatin to the floor/ground, so lift the folded seat unit straight up) or alternatively try folding the pushchair and the whole seat unit will fall/drop out (this probably isn't the best way unless you're on a soft surface!).


Hope this helps.

    • I can't think of another one that wouldn't brie to cheesey.
    • Re previous post. .   Our youngest grandchildren only come up to London around 4 times a year and usually stay overnight. This holiday was different as their father in Liverpool had just changed jobs and had difficulties in getting time off for the 2 weeks he normally has the children for in the summer holidays so everything was up the wall. Daughter had booked a few days away (she had not had a holiday for 3 years) and we were the backup if all had failed with  Dad. As it happened, he could not get much time off, but his new partner looked after the children most of the time. We had the children for a few nights to support our daughter. We normally travel to Sussex to meet up with everyone (either by train or car)  Whilst we have our own health issues (physical) for our emotional health it is important that we play a significant part in our grandchildren's life,  Our eldest grandson (30) is very close to his grandfather who supported him emotionally and practically since he was a teenager. Grandson is now has a 6 year old son, named after his grandfather, and credits his paternal/fathering skills etc to us grandparents.
    • The young men selling knick-knacks on behalf of a 'rehabilitation centre' are out on Underhill. Young lad, tried to engage me, then begged saying he'd been on the street for 6 hours and might have to sleep rough. They are run by gang masters in the main and what they 'sell' is overpriced rubbish. Support young needy people through proper registered charities, not street collections such as this. The boys don't even get to keep, often, what they can scrounge. This one wasn't scary, just rather pathetic, but then I don't look that vulnerable. Watch out.
