The Bugaboo Fox 5 is a 2023 release of this flagship, iconic all rounder stroller system, and an iteration of the original Bugaboo Fox. The Bugaboo Fox5 differs from the Fox3 in new, improved fabric styles and colorways with PFAS-free water-repellent fabric coating. The stroller is claimed to be produced with mass-balanced bio-based materials, reducing CO2 emissions by 20 %. The stroller also boasts new premium detailing with fewer white buttons, brushed fabrics, renewed wheel spokes, and an embossed bumper bar for a more balanced and premium look.**
The fabrics are interchangeable between the Fox 5 and other Fox models.
The Fox 5 still feels lightweight and is suitable for, Bugaboo says, any terrain. The wheels are not that robust so heavy, hard terrain would probably not be the best usecase, other than that though, the stroller will wotk well in most terrain conditions and is easily maneuverable. The suspension stays located in the central joint (as inspired by the Bugaboo Runner) to absorb shocks even with such a lightweight pram. The Fox 5 has a two-piece fold (a bit more compact) as well as a one-piece fold, and the folding can be done one-handedly. too.
The bucket-type seat unit is set at a height of 59 cm on the frame, just like the previous generation. 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 5 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 carrycot is well-ventilated thanks to the opening mesh windows in the bottom part. 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 Bugaboo Turtle car seat (by Nuna) can be added to the Fox frame (5 as well as previous generations) without any need for adapters. The stroller is usually offered as a complete stroller system set (with carrycot). Also, you can customize your Fox 5 by picking some of the designer-feel colorways of the fabrics, or pair up different parts for your own custom combination.
