I will have 3 kids under 3 any day now. We had a Bugaboo Frog until about a year ago when we moved 10 blocks (we still live pretty much downtown and don't take the car out hardly at all). Now I take public transportation (have to fold the stroller) so much more frequently we have traded the Frog for a Bee. That combined with a bECO Butterfly carrier really has been the best system for us. I can open and close it with one hand, 16 month old in the carrier and still have a hand for my 3 year old to get on and off the bus. It rolls behind like a suitcase so even at 39 weeks pregnant I still jump on and off the bus with ease. The ONLY thing I wish is that Bugaboo would come out with a Wheeled Board to fit the Bee's axle/chassis (hint hint), then everyone could be carried or ride. I see no reason for a double, I would loose the efficiency and switch-rich nature that is designed into the Bug's compact functionality. Not to mention it is still an awesome ride and incredibly easy to use. IF we were to move closer in where everything were within a half mile waking distance and we didn't take the bus, I might consider a Phil & Ted's Vibe.

Maybe because growing up my family cut, spit and stacked our own wood for heat during the winter makes this seems a bit useless, not to mention a lot of work. What makes it a strong design element is the texture and pattern made by an unexpected element that is otherwise out of context.
