Choosing the right buggy accessories

On Wednesday, a pregnant friend stopped by after work and we talked through what she needed to buy to prepare for her little one’s arrival. I started listing buggy accessories, but perhaps what I really should have said was ‘one of everything’.

It certainly feels like we’re buying one of everything sometimes. For our Bugaboo Cameleon, which comes with a raincover, it simply wasn’t enough to buy a cup holder. We’ve built up quite the collection of Bugaboo accessories.

I was back at Harrods last weekend to buy a new cup holder after I’d managed to break the first one, and I also picked up a bamboo seat liner and parasol for the summer.

Baby Girl already had the sunshade and the breezy sun canopy, but a friend had the parasol. After one walk seeing the other baby sitting happy in the shade behind the parasol, and Baby Girl, who is quite sensitive to sunlight, sitting in the sun crying and moving around, I was sold. Baby Girl really did need a parasol too.

I guess Daddy T should just hope Bugaboo doesn’t release more accessories in the coming years.
