Hi girls!

I'm 24weeks now with our little girl and already started shopping, mostly clothes, but it's time to start to get the other bigger things. My family is coming to London for holiday in a few weeks and we want to do the whole shopping for our little girl. We already have the Maxi Cosy in Happy Flower and bumper&sleeping bag sets, decoration and playing mat from Vertbaudet. Now here we are at the pushchairs...

We were searching and looking around in shops a lot and there are 2 favourites we can't decide between. It's been for weeks that we're thinking and thinking, but no progress. Both has advantages and disadvantages compared to each other, but we still don't get nowwhere.

So it's the Mamas&Papas Luna and the Bugaboo Bee we are talking about...

If you have one of them or heard reviews from friends or anything, please help!

Our opinion is that the Lune comes in really cool colours, we would choose the cress one, what is a nice green with matching liner which is green/purple-ish. It looks really cool. It's 8.8kg, that is really important for us to be light. We love the stiye, it's preatty good, it lies completely flat (and you can even buy a soft carrycot as well to fit in the puschair what we would buy) has adjustable leg rest and the whole seat is adjustable however you want your baby to lie or sit. The handle bar is adjustable as well, the lowest one fits me very well, as I'm quite small. It's bigger than the Bee, but still good for my small figure. The only thing we don't like and afraid of, that it doesn't have suspensions. It still goes very smooth while you push, though. I red a lot of reviews and people has the most of the problems with the one from last year. Since then those problems are solved in the new one....for example it has a bumper bar, leg rest is adjustable, seat is bigger. People mostly love the new one.
And it's only 150pounds, on sale it's 135 at the moment. The carrycot is 60 and the liner is 15 with head supporter for 10. So it would all cost only up to 235pound.

The Bee is really cool as well, looks a bit strange, but we still like it, as we don't like ordinary pushchairs. It's smaller than it looks in the pictures, that I really like, as I mentioned I'm small and it feels so compact in my hands while pushing. Because of the suspensions it feels a bit smoother while pushing and I guess I would feel more difference in a park. The seat is not lies completely flat, but still recommended from birth. We would buy a babynest to make it more comfortable and warm. Seat is reversible that is not really important for me and we can put the maxi cosi on if we want but it's still not very important either. I don't think I would use it a lot with car seat as it's not really good for a long time for tiny babies. The colours are not the best, but we would choose the yellow one (like the Luna cress better). It's 7,7kg so there is 1kg difference, what is not much. People in reviews often say that bigger kids (we say after 18months) are stuck and not comfortable in the seats....I don't know, some people say it's still perfect at 4year old as well. It's 330 on babypages with babynest costs 50, so 380.

The question is if the Bee worth 160pounds more or the Luna is good enough? Bee maybe seems a bit better quality, but we still love the Luna as well.

So the most important thing is the Bee has suspensions, so feels a bit smoother while pushing. And a bit smaller and more compact, but it's not a too big deal. Colours are better in Luna and it's cheaper. We are Hungarians and I'll travel a lot with the baby. The carrycot maybe doesn't make it easier at the beginning with the Luna (stewardesses will deal with it) But the reviews say both of them fold easily and small.

So, it's soooo hard to decide. Please help!!! Sorry about the long thing and mistakes, as I'm not native English.

I´ve got the bee, It got top rated reviews for lightweight pushchairs in, if I remember rightly, Mother and Baby Magazine. I love it cos it´s so lightweight like a stoller but you can still have it in the face to face position for when the baba is tiny. Hope this helps hun XX

hi, my friend as got the luna and i would never get this pram - my friend regrets it sooooo much! first problem is the seat is set too far back on the chassis - so once your child reaches around 9 mth mark it loses its balance at the slightest thing and tipples back, especially when your LOs asleep and youve got it laid back. also the break is too low on the pram and catches on steps ALL the time making it really difficult to get up or down any steps and lastly the basket is a joke - way too small and breaks really easy. it does look nice and pushes like a dream but its really not worth all the problems....sorry!

Your maxi cosi carseat will fit into the bee if you buy the adapters for it, does it fit on the luna? i looked at the luna once and loved the colours too, but then I seen a woman with one and she looked really uncomfortable pushing it and it didnt turn well, and it was really squeaky for some reason!
I'd go for the Bee xxxx

I'd go for the Bee too, it always comes out on tops when reviewed

Hi there,
These were the 2 prams that I was thinking about getting!
However...I have since discovered that a friend of mine had nothing but trouble with her Luna and in the end convinced M&P to give her a refund as she honestly thought her little girl would fall out of it. She didn't like the straps and said that although it looked good, that was it! She thought it was a danger.

I have read great reviews of the Bee and after trying it out in John Lewis I had my heart set on it. I love the fact it is so lightweight and easy to push, I also think the baby nest looks so cosy. I did think it looked a bit odd at first but I really think that it's my fav. pram out there at the moment.

I've ordered mine (it's arriving on Weds!!!) sooo excited. I got it from Ladybugs for a great price. I can't wait to try it out :-)

We have gone for a Bee in Kharki as don't know what we are having yet, got the apapters for the car seat and a Maxi Cosi car seat too. We couldn't decide between this and the Bebe Confort Loola-up but the Bee won as so light weight and easy to fit into the car. It is pricey though!
