Ease of use
High maneuverability is one thing that really makes this stroller stand out from the rest. Thus, you can easily push this stroller through crowded shops or city roads. When you do encounter bumps, the suspension on the wheels ensures a smooth ride for the baby.
Another feature of the stroller that adds to its ease of use is foldability. You can easily fold the stroller without removing the seat and place it in a self-standing position. Unfolding the stroller is also very easy. The seat can easily be reclined using the lever attached. When using the Bugaboo Lynx as a travel system, the car seat can be easily attached to the stroller using an adapter.
Material
The stroller is made of aerospace aluminium that makes it an exceptionally sturdy structure even though it is lightweight. The high-quality fabric used as the upholstery is easy to maintain. Once it gets soiled, all you have to do is to wipe it with a damp cloth or mild soap and warm water. The puncture-proof wheels provide good grip and offer a smooth ride on all terrain.
Moreover, the stroller is available in eight attractive color combinations – Alu/black, Alu- black/ fresh white, Alu- Blue melange, Alu- grey melange, Alu – light grey, black, black/grey melange, and steel blue.
Dimension
The surprisingly compact dimensions of this full size stroller is 34.45” H x 20.87” W x 12.2”L, and the one-piece fold self-standing dimension is 23.62” H x 23.62” W x 34.65” L. The stroller weighs just 20.7 pounds and can carry a child weighing up to 50 lbs. The front wheel is 7” and the rear wheel is 11.4” in size.
Assembly
As a premium product, Bugaboo has put a lot of thought into making sure that this is a very easy to assemble stroller.

The entire assembly can be done in less than 10 minutes, and if necessary parents can get help from online videos and the instruction manual.
Parents can also easily reverse the seat from forward to rear facing with just the press of a button.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning the aluminium frame is rather easy. All you have to do is wipe it down with a cloth. The upholstery is made of high-quality material that can be cleaned using a mild soap and warm water as necessary. The wheels require occasional washing to get rid of dust and dirt, and after cleaning be sure to towel them dry completely. Lubricating the wheels after cleaning helps to ensure that the ride is smooth.
Additional features
The Bugaboo Lynx stroller has an easily reversible seat, so parents can adjust it to face the back or to the outside world depending on your preference.
Moreover, the stroller is also compatible with a Bugaboo wheel board. Parents can fix the board onto the back of the stroller and convert it into a stroller for two kids. The older child can ride behind comfortably on the board.
