Create a new list. Bugaboo Ant. You may be surprised to learn that Australia only has mandatory standards in place for a limited number of products, and they don't always cover all the safety risks.
These 18 models failed our test mostly because of the buckle on the stroller's harness. The buckle's design fails to separate the straps and prevent them from forming a loop, which is a potential strangulation risk. This safety feature is currently voluntary for manufacturers, but we think it's time for it and other safety standards on babies' and kids' products to become mandatory. There is some good news: six of the nine models we recently tested passed our more stringent safety standards.
We've added these to our recommended prams and strollers. When it comes to products for babies and kids, the need for tougher rules to prevent injury speaks for itself. As it stands, there are no mandatory safety standards for a list that includes the basics that most parents would own: bassinets, cot mattresses, high chairs, change tables, baby bottles and teats, safety gates and barriers, backyard play equipment, baby carriers and slings and play pens.
The mandatory safety checks were written almost 20 years ago, based on stroller designs that are far different from today's. And when it comes to prams and strollers, the mandatory safety checks in the Australian market were written almost 20 years ago and were based on stroller designs that are far different from today's.
We think it's time for an update, which is why standards that may be voluntary for manufacturers are mandatory in our CHOICE testing labs. We've long been advocating for the introduction of a stronger product safety law. One that would require businesses across the marketplace to make sure the products they sell are safe before they go on sale.
The way it works now is that businesses can wait until someone gets hurt before considering a recall. The things we buy shouldn't hurt us or our loved ones. As a parent, it made me nervous.
The seat was too angular and exposed, and there was no weather cover. There were also no straps to keep the child in — just a bar to go over their legs, like a sketchy funfair ride. As was the name Bugaboo, silk-screened on to the red fabric seat. Visually, this made a simpler, more attractive design, the nearly straight line from the handlebar through the front wheels giving a sense of strength.
Functionally, it would enable you to do things such as change the direction the child faced just by swinging the handlebar over the seat. Central joint, front leg, rear leg, seat, handlebar. Barenbrug graduated from design school with honours and an award, but this meant little in the commercial world. Over the next three years, Barenbrug redesigned the stroller, making it safer and more comfortable. In , his then brother-in-law, a physician and entrepreneur named Eduard Zanen, fronted the seed money to make new prototypes in Taiwan, and became a co-founder of the company.
Retailers and manufacturers who had passed on the prototype suddenly loved the version. After a few hiccups and some tweaks to the design, they began producing a new model, the Classic, in Uptake was immediate, Barenbrug said. There was no sales push. You want the best for your child, and you worry about not only being able to provide it, but also being perceived by other parents to be providing it.
When Bugaboo came along, it seemed to offer a way out of these anxieties. It presented its products as brilliant, useful pieces of design, not as vehicles for trumpeting your wealth.
The company had hit a sweet spot. Part of the way Bugaboo sold this image was by addressing people as adults rather than parents. Instead of placing adverts in parenting magazines, the company targeted sophisticated design and lifestyle publications such as Dwell and New York Magazine, cultivating the perception that it was a mobility design company that just happened to make strollers. Bugaboo also sells luggage, but has never sold any other baby products, despite what seems like a logical expansion of its brand.
In his office, Barenbrug asked me if I had owned a Bugaboo. Instead, we got the less expensive Quinny Buzz, which ticked most of the boxes — not too shiny, adjustable-height handle, and so on — despite having a name that sounded like Victorian slang for vagina. Hearing this, Barenbrug grimaced. These days, it may not be obvious to parents what they get for the extra few hundred pounds a Bugaboo costs.
After years of doubling and tripling sales, the question of value became a problem for Bugaboo during the recession. It was a turbulent period for the company, but it doubled down on its message that their buggies were investment pieces. In the middle of the financial crisis, it raised the price on its Cameleon model. Then, in , the company put out its answer to a double stroller, the Donkey. Many of the other companies that leaped into the parenting-gear bubble in the early s are no more.
But Bugaboo is still here: each week at its factory in Xiamen in China, 2, strollers roll off an assembly line that Barenbrug designed himself. This month, Bugaboo released its latest model, the Fox, which folds down to the size of a small suitcase.
This cachet is what private investment firm Bain Capital banked on when it agreed to buy the company last month; Barenbrug, Klaasen, and other staff will stay in their positions. After the birth of our first son, the Quinny was the object I touched more than anything else in the house, except my phone. Our first son abused it until our second came along two-and-a-half years later and evicted him. But it resonates. We buy things to reflect who we are and who we want to be; it would be nice to be that parent who keeps hold of the person they were before the baby came.
And once the baby does come, you have the kind of dependent relationship with a buggy that you might have with your first car, but deeper, because it has to do with your children and the finite time you have with them.
