General Review

Why does the Chameleon get such great user reviews on here and the Gecko get pretty ordinary ones?

It's almost exactly the same pram people.

Minus the adjustable handle and the grab bar, plus slightly lighter to boot.

Also considerably cheaper than the Chameleon.

It's a good pram.
Moves and steers very easily.
Light, sturdy, safe.
Bub loves it.

I have the optional wheeled travel bag, which is fantastic for airline travel.

It's good value for what you get.
Like anything, you get what you pay for.
Buy a cheap pram and you get a piece of junk that makes your like more difficult than it can be.


Pros

Sturdy, light, easy to push

Cons

Have to take the seat off to fold it.

Kind of big when folded.

My tyres leak. Even after having the tubes replaced which took an outrageous three months, they still leak slightly.

A nice system, but I reckon the Hauck Infinity has the edge slightly in terms of quality and design and it is half the price

Pros

Light, well designed, funky,

Cons

handle height not adjustable (other Bugaboo models are). Check that you are comfortable with the height before buying.

price 9not not all accessories included)

Not all fabric is removable for washing

seat must be removed before collapsing

General Review

I find it funny when people describe the gecko as a "simple stroller" or say that it has a "minimalist" design. Although it may not come with every bell and whistle like the Cameleon, what most do not know is that it actually REPLACED the frog, along with the cameleon, as a newly refined option. I can actually get up shallow stairs with this stroller! Simple is not the word I would use to describe. Its the smoothest push for mom and ride for baby-that's the most important thing. It is easy to use and versatile, sophisticated in looks ( I get a lot of compliments on this stroller) and the underseat bag is a better size than most strollers that followed the bugaboo design but were cheaper in price. I LOVE this bug...you will too!

Pros

Smooth push, turns on a dime, great all-inclusive features. Cool design!

Cons

The only con is that to adjust the seat position on the Gecko, it has to be done under the seat. But you don't do it too many times during a walk,etc so its really not a hassle.
