As Bugaboo strove to perfect their first model (the Frog) two newmodels were introduced. One of these was the Bugaboo Gecko. With moremodels on the market Bugaboo wanted parents to have options to choosefrom. The Gecko has a minimalist design for parents who know exactlywhat they are looking for in a stroller. The Gecko is a smallerthan the Cameleon, but it still has the same features that are standardon all Bugaboo strollers. The reversible handlebars and the largewheels are all the same, but reviews praise this Bugaboo for city use.It is perfect for those who dont use a car and just stroll aroundtown. The Gecko easily maneuvers through crowds and over curbs anduneven sidewalks. Off road activity is a little to adventurous for thismodel. Though it has air filled wheels, the frame was not designed foruneven terrain or jogging. The downside to the Gecko is theprice. It does come with some accessories, but to get additional items,such as a car seat adaptor or a sun canopy, it is very costly. However,when you weigh this with the amount of money some families spend goingthrough multiple strollers, it may be worth it for you. Plus, Bugaboohas one of the highest resale values of any stroller brand Pros: Versatile Sturdy Reversible handlebars Lightweight Smooth ride Washable fabric Easy to maneuver Large tires built to last Reclining seat Detachable storage bag Cons: Awkward to fold Bulky No cup holder Gecko Specs Age: Suitable from birth to 4 years (or up to 40 pounds) Weight: 20 pounds Safety: five point harness Features: reversible seat, reversible handlebar, 2 wheel position, 3 position seat, compact fold, and swivel wheel
