Bugaboo Fox Vs Fox 2: A Head-to-Head Comparison

Have you heard about the latest version of Bugaboo Fox? The brand has launched a new, sleeker version of Bugaboo Fox Pushchair, and it has everything you need for your little munchkin.

The Bugaboo Fox 2 comes with new features, a redesigned canopy with excellent ventilation, a more accessible foldable mechanism, and an ergonomic seat recline handle. Not to mention, you will also find new colors and a fresh look in this pushchair that is irresistible.

In this article, I will talk about all the differences between the Bugaboo Fox Vs Fox 2, so you can decide which one you are going to go for.

Bugaboo as a Brand!

When it comes to finding high-end strollers for kids, Bugaboo is the top brand that comes to my mind for going on a shopping spree. Their manufacturing quality is top-notch. The best part about this brand is that they have a price range diversity.

At Bugaboo, you cannot only find a high-end, luxury stroller like the Fox, but you can also come across an affordable option like the Bee. These lineups have their offerings and cater to a wide range of consumers.

As far as Fox is concerned, every stroller in this lineup has come with new upgrades every time the brand launches something new. It is one of the most lightweight strollers on the market, and that is something parents loved, including me!

So, in this article, I will compare the models, Bugaboo Fox and Fox 2, so you can better understand what significant differences are between the two. Whether Fox 2 is a real bang for your money or not and if you should take the plunge and invest in the upgrade.

But first, I will create a comparison table of both models and then do a quick review to have an overview of what you will be signing up for.

Bugaboo Fox Stroller Review

The Bugaboo Fox Pushchair is an award-winning stroller with enigmatic features, a lightweight body, and a stylish design. Though this is a luxury stroller, it does come at a higher price point; if you’re looking for more affordable options, maybe you can check out this comparison of Bugaboo Bee 5 & Bee 6.

The Bugaboo Fox has a beautiful design with a soft fabric that you can customize in various colors of your choice and a sumptuous carrycot. It is pretty challenging to assemble, which did put us off, but once you have put it up together, the pushchair feels like a breeze to take along from then onwards.

The stroller has a maximum weight capacity of 17kg. It has a one and two-piece fold. Plus, the folded stroller can stand independently, so you will not have to find a wall to stand the stroller against. It also has several reclining positions, and you can also place it in a lie-flat recline, which means the Bugaboo Fox can be used from birth until the baby is 3-4 years old.

Although the brand did claim that Bugaboo Fox has a one-hand fold, in my experience, I had to use both my hands to fold it. I also loved the mesh shopping basket on the inside of this buggy. It can carry all my baby’s things on the go, and I don’t even have to take an extra bag anymore.

The wheels are made up of high-quality material. All four wheels feature a separate suspension system, suitable for all riding terrains. It has excellent value for money, though a little expensive, but if you’re looking for a stroller that can last long, it is worth considering.

Bugaboo Fox 2 Pushchair Review

Now, moving ahead with Bugaboo Fox 2 Pushchair, you are genuinely going to love it for all its aspects. Don’t worry; it has all the high-end features of Bugaboo Fox along with some new features and upgrades that you’re going to enjoy.

The Fox 2 came with two magnificent upgrades to Bugaboo Fox. I found the seat on this stroller way too ergonomic than the previous one. On top of that, it features a push-button, so now parents will not have to spend too much setting it up. There is also some additional storage space on this stroller that I found very useful.

In my experience, the Bugaboo Fox 2 was designed while keeping maximum convenience for parents and babies in mind. It is great for taking along when you’re going for a stroll in the park. The Bugaboo Fox 2 features a durable, high-end canopy with two peek-a-boo windows promoting better airflow and ultimate sun coverage. I found this stroller ideal because I am always on the go and need a pushchair that is easy to move around. The peek-a-boo windows allowed me to stay connected with my baby even in the world-facing position.

As far as the aesthetics are concerned, I fell in love with how gorgeous and stylish the pushchair looked. The simple yet elegant design and the fact that you can create your color combination for the seat and the hood is reason enough to buy this thing.

Moreover, the Fox 2 also felt very lightweight. I didn’t have much trouble dragging it on the road, nor did I face any difficulty carrying it over on public transport. It is also made out of high-quality fabrics that feel lightweight and breathable. The internal seating fabric feels very smooth to the skin, so your child doesn’t feel any itch while lying in there.

Despite its enigmatic and lightweight construction, the Fox 2 feels very light and has a maximum load capacity of 22lbs. You can use it until your kid is 5-years old, so think about it as a long-term investment.

Bugaboo Fox Vs Fox 2 – Comparing Features

Now that you have read reviews for each pushchair, it is time to pick a winner by comparing their features. Below, I will compare every aspect of these two strollers and find out which beats the other.

Toddler Seat

The toddler seat on both strollers is very comfortable and virtually the same. The only difference Fox 2 has is that it has more reclining positions than Fox. The lever handle of the seat was also redesigned on Fox 2 so that parents can benefit from it the most. I don’t think I have to elaborate anything further. Bugaboo Fox 2 is the winner here.

Canopy

Like all the high-end strollers, Bugaboo Fox and Fox both come with reliable canopies. You can choose the color according to the stroller you opt for.

It was quite a bummer for me that a high-end pushchair like the Bugaboo Fox doesn’t come with peek-a-boo windows. But, that concern was addressed beautifully when Fox 2 came out. The brand introduced two peek-a-boo windows in the successor of the original Fox stroller to make the pushchair even more convenient. So, without any second thought, the Bugaboo Fox 2 wins here.

Bassinet

Now, all Bugaboo strollers come with bassinet fabric that you can attach to the seat and turn into a walking lay-down space for your infant. The seat of the Bugaboo Fox is designed ergonomically, which keeps your child comfortable. It has various reclining positions that will allow you to keep your kid safe on daily adventures.

The Bugaboo Fox 2 offers a flat-recline position that its predecessor doesn’t. This ensures you can use this stroller right from when your kid is born. It’s very ergonomic and safe to use, giving it an upper hand over Fox. Here again, the Bugaboo Fox 2 wins because of its high level of functionality where the bassinet is concerned.

Car Seat Compatibility

These strollers are also compatible with a wide range of brands where car seats are concerned. You can make it your ultimate travel buddy when headed out of town or even country, for that matter.

In terms of car seats, there isn’t much of a difference. These strollers are compatible with the same number of brands, so there is not much to say over here. So yeah, in the car seat compatibility aspect, both strollers, Fox and Fox 2, have the same score.

Wheels and Suspension

Bugaboo Fox features forever-air tires that are very sturdy and highly durable, so you can efficiently run them on even bumpy terrains with a smooth riding experience. These tires don’t require inflating, and you also will not have to worry about them getting punctured.

As far as the tires on the Fox 2 are concerned, there is no significant upgrade over here. The brand has virtually used the same tire, so I guess I would call it to tie around here between both strollers. We also wrote a comparison of the Bugaboo Fox 3 and Fox 2 to help parents choose between the two.

Final Thoughts:

So, this is everything I could gather for the Bugaboo Fox Vs Fox 2 comparison. I reiterated my own experience with the stroller, everything I have mentioned, and all the features I talked about.

I can safely say that Bugaboo Fox 2 is a safer choice than Fox if you’re investing in the stroller today. It has all the latest features, can last for a long time, has better weight capacity, better durability, solid construction, and whatnot. So yeah, I hope I could address all of your concerns.
