Bugaboo’s pushchair portfolio just keeps getting better and better, and with the recent launch of their brand new Bugaboo Lynx they are showing no signs of slowing down. We wanted to take a look at their all-terrain pushchair offerings to help you get a better understanding of the differences and what they all offer parents on the move. The Bugaboo all-terrain category has 3 options; Bugaboo Cameleon3 Plus, Bugaboo Lynx and the Bugaboo Fox2.

But with three equally impressive and brilliant options to choose from, which one could be right for you and what are the main differences? Let’s take a closer look.

Price = £675

Weight with seat = 9.6kg

Weight Capacity = newborn to 17kg

The Bugaboo Cameleon3 Plus is the original and much loved all-terrain pushchair from Bugaboo that started it all. It has been helping families get out and explore the world since 2005 and is a firm favourite thanks to its versatility and ease of use. To get a good idea of where it sits in their all-terrain category, the Cameleon is deemed their entry level all-terrain pushchair that ticks all the boxes with an unbeatable price tag of £675.

The Bugaboo Cameleon3 Plus pushchair has larger wheels on the back and small swivel wheels in front to help you seamlessly take on rough terrains. The handlebar is adjustable in height, offering a comfortable ride also for you. The handlebar is also reversible, allowing you to change the pushchair's riding direction anytime you need it and to put big wheels forward when taking on rough terrains.

When comparing it to the next pushchair up in the range, the Bugaboo Lynx, the Cameleon3 Plus has a much lower weight capacity and is a little heavier. The Cameleon3 Plus also has slightly smaller wheels (front wheels = 15cm diameter and rear = 30cm), compared to the Lynx (front 17.8cm, rear 28.9cm). The Bugaboo Lynx also offers a more premium suspension with front wheel suspension, compared to the Cameleon3 Plus feature of adjustable suspension.

This being said, the Bugaboo Cameleon3 Plus is a brilliant option for parents looking for a pushchair with a smooth ride and all-terrain capabilities. As the little sister of the Bugaboo category it offers parents an ideal all-terrain pushchair for an appealing price point. However, if you are looking for that little bit extra then meet the Bugaboo Lynx.

The Bugaboo Lynx is the newest member of the Bugaboo all-terrain portfolio for the UK as the perfect everyday all-terrain pushchair.

The Bugaboo Lynx is the improved bigger brother to the Bugaboo Cameleon, taking everything that we love about the Cameleon and adding extra touches and features for better functionality.

The Bugaboo Lynx is Bugaboo’s lightest full-size pushchair that lets parents take on country roads and city streets alike with it’s 2-wheel suspension. Tight spaces and busy pavements are no problem for the Lynx's sleek design and easy fingertip steering. Parents will love the one-hand fold, the comfortable seat fabrics that will keep their child comfortable and the larger puncture-proof wheels that make it a dream to drive. Family days out have never been smoother!

Super lightweight and featuring all the essentials that the modern parent needs, the Bugaboo Lynx is designed to make the complicated, uncomplicated. However, for those parents that are looking for the ultimate pushchair ready to take on any adventure family life takes them on, then it doesn’t get any better than the Bugaboo Fox2.
