Quick answer
Is the Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew worth it?
The bottom line
Newborn walks in an included bassinet, then a seat that can face you
It comes with a bassinet for flat newborn walks from day one. Later, the seat can face you or face out. It's built more for long walks than tight trunks. You'll need to split it into two pieces for the smallest fold.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Who it's for
- Great if you want one stroller from the newborn bassinet to the toddler years.
- Good on rough paths, with big puncture-proof wheels and full suspension.
- There's room underneath for a full grocery run.
Who should skip it
- Not for you if you're on a tight budget. It's one of the priciest here.
- Skip it if you want your car seat to click right in. You'll need an adapter.
The numbers that matter
Check the folded height against your storage space.
Your child can use the seat after outgrowing the bassinet.
You can carry groceries in the basket.
The car-to-stroller move needs an adapter.
Take the long way through the park
The Fox makes sense when a walk is a big part of your day. Big, puncture-proof wheels and full suspension help on rough paths. You can take the park route without adding a tire pump to the pile by the door.
Taking turns at the handle
The handle changes height with one hand. When your partner takes over, they can set it for themselves. You don't have to spend the walk home pushing at someone else's height.
Your face or the street
The seat faces either way and has three recline spots. Start with your baby looking at you. Later, turn it toward the dogs, buses and very important leaves. Your face has had a good run.
The bassinet comes with it
The included bassinet works from birth, so your newborn can lie flat on walks. You don't need to sort out a separate bassinet purchase before that first slow lap near home. Shoes on, baby settled, out you go.
The bassinet has a 20 lb limit. Later, the stroller seat takes over, with its own 50 lb limit. You're changing where your child rides, rather than starting the stroller search all over again.
Underneath, the basket holds 22 lb. That's useful when your walk ends at the store. Your bag and the food can ride below instead of joining the coat you've already ended up carrying.
A lovely walk, then the trunk puzzle
The one-hand fold lets you leave the seat or bassinet attached. Folded that way, it stands on its own. It's still 35.4 in tall, so it needs a spot in the hall. It can wait beside you while you deal with the bag, the baby and the hat that came off again.
For the smallest fold, you split it into two pieces. That helps with a tight trunk, but now you have separate parts to load. Think about which fold you'd use on an ordinary day, when you're tired and it's starting to rain.
For car-seat trips, 20 infant car seats fit, and they all need an adapter. Check your exact seat before you count on the quick move from car to wheels.
What parents say
One parent says it's sturdy, lovely to push and comfy for the baby. But they find it a pain to fold and awkward to lift into the car. Source (opens in a new tab)
