Bugaboo Buffalo
.eli
The Bugaboo Buffalo is a luxury stroller that can handle all kinds of terrain. It was released in 2013. The stroller is available as a 2in1 stroller system with a chassis and textiles. The chassis can also be purchased separately.
The seat and the carrycot textiles are attached to the same frame which is simply attached to a chassis. The bucket seat is located higher. The difference in height compared to the urban Bugaboo Cameleon is approximately 10 cm. With the optional car seat with adapters, you can create a 3in1 stroller system. The huge shopping basket can carry up to 10 kg. In addition, you can hang a bag weighing up to 6 kg on the handle.
You can customize your stroller by choosing a silver or a black chassis. The Buffalo can also be personalized by changing the hoods. Summer variations with ventilation are also available along with many other optional accessories. The handle and the bumper bar of the newer models are made of leatherette. You can also identify the older models by the inabilty to fold the chassis with a seat attached.
The Bugaboo Buffalo was also released in special editions: Escape, Diesel Denim, Andy Warhol, Classic+ Collection or the designer Niark1. Since November 2017, the tiger-patterned We Are Handsome designer collection and the limited Atelier Collection are also available.

Parent reviews of the Bugaboo Buffalo
- Solid frame
- Handles difficult terrain
- Modern
- Different canopy themes
- Beautifully maneuverable
- Heavy
- Bulky
- Does not fit in some elevators and car trunks
- Bassinet cannot be laid flat on the floor as for example with Joolz
We bought the stroller second hand, it was like new. We rode with it for about 8 months.
- Everthing
- Nothing
The perfect pram. Folds well in the car, has lots of accessories and gadgets, one-handed steering... Clearly a winner 😍
- light
- easy to push (even with one hand)
- spacious both lying and sitting
- fashionable
- variable - in sitting position it can sit with its face the street or me
- adjustable handle
- for some, the price - I don't think it is though, it was worth the money
We have a 2015 Bugaboo Buffalo and I can say that the investment has really paid off. My son can fit in the stroller happily even at 12 months old and we took him out in the sitting position at 3,5 years old (when he was sick and it was the only way to get some air).
The frame is lightweight and thus lightens my back when folded into the car. It can be pushed with one hand, the wheels lock beautifully. Various accessories are available for purchase, it can be made from red to blue when needed :-) I can highly recommend it!

- Ease of use

Absolutely top notch. I love it. It'll go through anything, it'll go up anything, and it looks great... I wouldn't change it.
I wouldn't want any other stroller after this!!!
- Large wheels
- Beautiful design
- Large basket space
- Bugaboo summer accessories
- Weight
- Compactness
Amazing stroller, top of the range from Bugaboo. Snow, mud, rocks... Everything is OK and the baby does not wake up. For me an absolutely fabulous stroller for the village, countryside...
- handling
- large all-terrain wheels
- can change canopies, covers, etc., extension canopies, summer canopies with mosquito net
- spacious bassinet
- spacious and large seat - also for more than 24 months
- anywhere in the city and off-road
- large basket
- adjustable handle in many positions
- seat adjustable to 3 seating positions
- facing both forward and rearward
- higher weight
- folding into the car is on the more difficult side
A great pram. Spacious bassinet, into which the average child fits even pretty much at 10 months; seat adjustable to 3 positions, I also appreciate the possibility of choice in the direction and opposite direction of travel. The basket is huge (if I compare it with the Bee), so also nice for big purchases; clips for attaching a large changing bag; easy operation with almost 1 finger despite the sturdiness and weight, great also in winter; I appreciate the extension canopies, summer canopies that can be changed as needed...
The child is 22 months old and still has a space to spare in the stroller, sleeps in it outside without problems. The stroller has carried 3 children, is 6 years old and works perfectly. The downside is the weight - and folding it into the car is a bit more complicated, but its features compensate for it.
- Easy to steer
- Design
- Nothing
The best pram, design, steering.
- spacious
- comfortable
- for every terrain
- high weight capacity
- overall look and the possibility of changing the accessories

An awesome stroller. We were very satisfied. It is like a truck - it can handle even heavy loads of shopping, which I regularly tested 😊 The most important thing is that it’s spacious and comfortable for the child. Another advantage is the changing of the hood (apron, seat fabrics...) will change the visage of the stroller 😉
