Bugaboo Fox 3
.eli
The Bugaboo Fox 3 is a September/October 2021 iteration of the original Bugaboo Fox and an updated third generation of the Bugaboo Fox. This versatile and extremely popular flagship Bugaboo model, the Bugaboo Fox3, differs from the Fox2 in new, improved, more padded fabrics and, of course, new colorways for EVERY part of the stroller (including a new, graphite aerospace aluminum frame), and added ventilation panoramic bassinet window.
The fabrics are interchangeable between the Fox 2 and Fox 3 models.
All the advantages of the Bugaboo strollers are concentrated in the Fox, and the third gen is no different. The Fox 3 is lightweight like the Cameleon 3 - only 9.9 kg. Like the old Buffalo, its successor - the Fox 3 - can handle different terrain conditions and is easily maneuverable everywhere, even on sand or snow thanks to the two-wheel mode. The suspension located in the central joint is inspired by the Bugaboo Runner, and it absorbs shocks well for such a lightweight pram. Moreover, the Fox 3 offers a two-piece as well as a one-piece fold too. Like the Donkey, the stroller comes with a height weight capacity of the seat unit (22 kg) as well as of the shopping basket (10 kg).
The bucket-type seat unit is set at a height of 59 cm on the frame. It is parent-facing as well as world-facing and reclinable in three positions. The seat is best to use for six months of age upwards; you can, however, to use the Fox 3 from birth, with the spacious carrycot available separately or as a part of the set. The seat is self-standing and can be used as a seat on the floor or with a Bugaboo stand accessory. The straps of the five-point harness are stay-open style, which makes putting the child into the seat more manageable. The height of the belts can be easily adjusted by sliding, so there is no need to pull them out.
The environment-friendly fabrics of the carrycot and seat unit are made out of recycled PET bottles. The textiles of the seat, as well as the carrycot, are added to the same frame, which can be easily clicked on and off the chassis thanks to the side memory buttons. The carrycot, in combination with the optional stand, can also be used as a cot thanks to its suitability for overnight sleeping.
Using adapters, you can also attach an optional car seat to the stroller to create a newborn-friendly travel system. The new Bugaboo Turtle Air by Nuna can be added to the Fox 3 (and older generations) without any need for adapters. The Fox 3 also features integrated attachment points so you can directly attach various available accessories such as the adapter for Bugaboo wheeled board with a sibling seat or the Bugaboo Mammoth Bag, which holds up to 12 kg.
The stroller is usually offered as a complete stroller system set (with carrycot). Alternatively, you can fully customize your Fox 3 by choosing the color of the chassis, fabrics, and hood from various editions. All of the parts are also available separately, giving you a chance to alternate the look of your stroller as you wish.

Parent reviews of the Bugaboo Fox 3
I use it for a year now and I am the number 1 fan. I simply love my Fox and my child loves it too.
- Smooth ride
- Comfortable for baby
- Looks chic
- Bulky bulky bulky
- Too stressful to put into a car with a small baby - personally need something more compact and easier.
I have had this for about 6 months and feel it is far too large to disassemble and put it into a car with a stressed tired baby in the car. Lovely to walk around with, smooth round but I just could not get over the size of it which is why I have sold it.
The Bugaboo Fox 3 "all-terrain" pram is certainly not "all-terrain". The baby's head was visibly vibrating when on the tarred road, and so rough on the grass that it woke the baby. Purchased mainly for the "all-terrain" aspect so it won't get a lot of use unfortunately.
Also very bulky to transport. Quite disappointing to spend this amount of money and not be able to use as all-terrain. Otherwise the pram is ok.
- beautiful
- comfy driving
- foldable with the seat attched
- roomy in both the bassinet and the seat
- lightweight
- seat reverses
- not that all-terrain
- fold is a bit bulky
- basket access with the carrycot could be even better
- price
It’s not as all-terrain (hardcore bumps, dirt roads and cobblestones can be felt a lot) but otherwise excellent in every way. Stylish, lightweight, patent-facing and world-facing, folds with the seat on, and pushes comfortably. Truly a high-end product.

It’s love at first sight 😍
OH-MY-GOD just what I needed. I can't wait for this to be used with my baby. I only missed more ventilation on the Fox 2 and now it's PERFECT.
Your questions about the Bugaboo Fox 3
Hi, Agnete,
As a mostly fabric-based bassinet, it is not heavy at all. Its weight is not explicitly stated, but it is a bit heavier than the seat because of the mattress etc. - count on about 3-point-something (up to 4) kg. That is the weight of pretty much any mid- to heavier car seat for reference.
You have to carry the carrycot by the bumper bar, but the easiest and safest way is, of course, moving it on the frame of the stroller. With a baby of up to 9 kg, you should be able to use the bar for carrying. And, again, it is not hard to do so - the harder it gets, however, the heavier the child inside- ;-)
