Bugaboo Bee and footmuff

[jennyh]

Has anyone ever managed to attach the footmuff to the seat of the bee using the bit of fabric underneath? I mean the bit that is meant to stretch over the seat base but clearly isn't wide enough?

[Convex]

Yes... Was tight though.

[jennyh]

did you just pull until you got it on, or wiggle it a bit to try and get it over one side first? I am really struggling! Not that it really matters but it would be nice to have it on properly and the fact I can't is just bugging me, I hate a design fault on something so expensive!

I think mine went on fairly easily, it is a tight fit I grant you.

I had to call in helP! Started from side, pulled it really tight over each button. Hood off.

Hmmm, confused. I have the bit that goes over the back of the chair on ok but can't hook the bit onto the actual seat base, there is a stretch of fabric which looks like it should stretch across the seat base but is really far too tight. maybe I have a different model, mine doesn't have any buttons....not to worry too much if I have confused you!!

there's a shop on Rye Lane that sells Bugaboo stuff (down the bottom near Asda) which might be able to help you wrestle it on? I think you must have a newer model to me, mine has buttons for the top bit too.

Crazy that one should have a bloody footmuff on in May, I keep thinking I'll be able to take mine off any day and then it all goes pear-shaped!

[jennyh]

yes I know! I was really hoping to take it off too but instead anm boring myself and everyone else with innane questions about how to put it on!

Hiya...I was wondering about this, but have since learned that the strap isn't meant to go under the seat of the bee. This is a universal footmuff, designed to fit all models, and this strap is only for using it with the Chameleon or Frog models. With the Bee+, you just hook it over the buttons underneath the hood.

Hope that helps, H x

Ah, mines the original bee. Sorry to have confused you!

I was wondering if people used their footmuffs in winter. I assumed we'd leave it on and just zip off the cover bit. Is that crazy?

[oimissus]

in summer, d'you mean? I take it all off, I think it's airier on really hot days. I think I had the whole thing off for around 3/4 months last year, and if the odd chilly day appeared I just used a blanket. It's a lot easier without it, you've got more strap to play with, if you see what I mean!

[Convex]

Oops, yes I meant summer!

[jennyh]

Ah thank you! That's a shame but at least it stops me carrying on trying! I can't wait to take it off, have a sheepskin on too so hardly have any straps to play with and the right angle of the seat is buried under an inch of puffiness.
