Conclusion

To conclude, all we can say is that even though both strollers have every aspect covered, and we didn’t question that, the Bugaboo Fox 2 being the upgraded version of the Bugaboo Fox is the better of the two but the difference is not much.

The few fine details that they’ve paid extra attention to in the newer version definitely show when using the stroller itself, but we don’t think that they’re worth the extra pay, so for us, the Bugaboo Fox is the winner. Good luck shopping.
