FAQ - Bugaboo Bee
Please contact our Service team to identify the model of your Bugaboo Bee pram. You will be asked to provide your pram or part serial number if available.
Check what is covered under pram warranty. If you’re unsure if your pram is still under warranty, please contact our service team with your product’s serial number.
If repair is covered by a valid manufacturer’s warranty, Bugaboo will bear the expense and risk of transport from and to the retailer where you purchased the product. The manufacturer’s warranty is not transferable and may therefore only be invoked by the first owner. Contact our Service team with questions about strollers no longer under warranty or finding your nearest retailer with a repair centre.
Yes, the Bugaboo Bee Seat and Bugaboo Bee Sun Canopy fabrics are machine washable while the Bugaboo Bee Bassinet fabrics are hand washable. Please always refer to the washing instructions on the individual fabrics for more detailed information. Be sure to remove any removable parts (for example, the wires in the Bugaboo Bee³ Sun Canopy) before washing.
The Bugaboo Bee Baby Cocoon is a soft and breathable accessory which needs to be placed on top of the flat lying seat unit. In the Bugaboo Bee Baby Cocoon, your child needs to be secured in the harness.
The Bugaboo Bee 3 Bassinet clicks on to the chassis instead of the seat unit, offering your child a safe and comfortable ride without the need for a harness. For questions about using your Bugaboo seat unit, the Baby Cocoon or bassinet, please contact the Service team.
Please be aware that luggage rules may vary per airline and we advise contacting your airline prior to traveling for additional information. We recommend using the Bugaboo Compact Transport Bag for the Bugaboo Bee⁵, Bugaboo Bee³ and Bugaboo Bee and checking your pram as odd-sized luggage. This will help to prevent your pram from getting dirt, scratches and water.
The Bugaboo Bee⁵ has a redesigned front wheel suspension system to provide additional stability and swivel manoeuvrability. Your child can enjoy the ride from the comfort of their padded seat that grows with them — reversing, reclining and extending in just a few clicks. With attachment points built into the chassis, you won’t need adapters to add on accessories like a Bugaboo cup holder or Bugaboo comfort wheeled board. The Bugaboo Bee⁵ is the ultimate customisable pram - choose from a new range of colours for your seat fabric, bassinet and extendable sun canopy. The changeable grips and wheel caps mean there are even more opportunities to show your style.
Using the Bugaboo Bee⁵ is easy to use and has many great features. Visit our official Bugaboo YouTube channel and watch the demo videos to make the most of your Bugaboo Bee⁵.

Yes, the bassinet base and bassinet adapters and are fully compatible with the Bugaboo Bee+, Bugaboo Bee³ and Bugaboo Bee⁵. The fabrics for the bassinet, including the bassinet wall and bassinet apron, are offered in the Bugaboo Bee⁵ colour options, but these have been designed to fit the Bugaboo Bee³ bassinet.
We offer several styles of wheel caps for the Bugaboo Bee⁵ so you can customise your stroller to suit your personal style. Technically, you don’t need to use the wheel caps. However, when you don’t use them, the wheels can accumulate dirt and dust more easily.
The Bugaboo Bee⁵ seat fabric, handlebar grips, wheel caps are not compatible with the Bugaboo Bee³ or the 2010 model of the Bugaboo Bee. The Bugaboo Bee⁵ sun canopy will fit the Bugaboo Bee³.
A new feature of the Bugaboo Bee⁵ is the padded seat fabric: we’ve added an extra layer of foam; this ‘pillow top’ seat fabric lining offers extra protection around the head and is more comfortable for sleeping. The seat foam is made of high grade polyethylene closed cell foam.
The chassis might be blocking the back rest, or the seat simply may be in its most reclined position. If you find the seat doesn’t recline, gently wiggle the backrest while operating the release handle. In many cases the lock is obstructed or stuck. By gently wiggling the backrest you can easily release the lock.
Our design team has made improvements to the durability and functionality of the pram, including an improved driving experience for a smoother ride, an improved seat design, and improved seat comfort. We’ve made the pram compliant to with the latest safety requirements. We’ve also added integrated accessory attachment points, offer broader options in styling including options for the leather-look grips and wheel caps.
