Bugaboo

[Ris2011]

I am needing advice on the bugaboo bee 2009 model.

Does the bugaboo cocoon work with this model or is the foot muff the best product to buy?

Also what age does the cocoon go up too?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

You do need the cocoon when the baby is younger, it lasts for about 9 months depending on the size of the baby. After that you can either get the bugaboo branded footmuff or a lot of other brand footmuffs like buggy snuggles also fit perfectly well on the bee. You can buy a good condition cocoon on here or on eBay for about 25 or 30 quid.

we had the coccon (borrowed from a friend) but it didn't last anything like 9 months, our daughter was sitting pretty upright at around 4-5 months and the cocoon only works when they're horizontal. I would try and beg/borrow/steal a cocoon and buy the footmuff (or any footmuff that fits) - we're still using the footmuff at age 2 so that's worth the full price.

We tried to save money on the footmuff and got a cheaper version that never fitted properly. In hindsight I would have just shelled out the ???. They're not cheap but it is something that you use a couple of times, every single days so I guess if you do a "cost per use" it all works out!
