Bugaboo is a long-loved favorite among celebrities, royals and Chelsea delicious mummies.
It is the smaller that the better. Travel bloggers love to rave about the lightweight and maneuverable “Ant”, while more robust Bee, Fox, and Donkey are other favorites.
High profile fans include Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, Victoria Beckham and Sir Elton John, as well as Pippa Middleton and her husband James Matthews who have been seen pushing their eight-month-old son Arthur in a £1,100 model.
Reports have previously suggested that Archie gave the Bugaboo Fox to the Sussexes – the model Pippa and James used – from an old friend. The design costs roughly £1,200 once add-ons are included.
Many royal watchers speculated that an anonymous friend might have ‘used it herself.’ This led to many people watching the monarchs suspect Amal Clooney was the mysterious gifter. She chose a Bugaboo Bugaboo for Ella and Alexander.
After being pictured with the £1,600 Silver Cross baby carriage at Princess Charlotte’s Christening, the Duchess of Cambridge is rumoured to have purchased a Bugaboo ahead of the birth of Prince Louis in 2018.

Even though celebrity endorsers are commonplace now, Max Barenbrug, the founder of Dutch Brand Max Barenbrug said that his first endorsement was very important to him.
‘Madonna was the first to have one – I went completely crazy,’ he continued.
He stated that the idea of the company was to make a stroller an attractive investment rather than an unsightly necessity.
These designs look equally at home on urban streets as on country roads. These designs are eco-friendly, as well.
Bugaboo Fox Classic models come with hand-stitched handlebars, eco-friendly fabrics and other high-spec features. This model is perfect for parents who enjoy the finer things of life.
The car also features features that make it as luxurious as possible. These include a micro-twill lining, and an advanced all-wheel suspension system. It sounds like a supercar.

Elsewhere Rochelle Humes opted for Free People and Vogue Williams wore Muse & Moda to dress their stylish bumps, with floaty dresses the must-have attire for yummy mummies.
What’s out
Silver Cross prams, clunky old-fashioned style
After being pictured with the £1,600 Silver Cross baby carriage at Princess Charlotte’s Christening, seen, the Duchess of Cambridge is rumoured to have purchased a Bugaboo ahead of the birth of Prince Louis in 2018
Once the ultimate symbol of luxury, the £1,600 Silver Cross baby carriage seen at Princess Charlotte’s Christening simply isn’t practical for the modern day influencer.
These pushchairs are stylish, comfortable and compact enough to fit in a standard car.
Tiffany said to FEMAIL, “Influencers like celebrities and royalty are constantly on the move trying to capture perfect Instagram photos. They need lightweight luggage that can be carried as hand luggage when they travel.”
Bright, colorful baby clothing
Out: ‘Brightly coloured clothes are out – gone are the days when influencers dress their babies in multicoloured, unicorn pyjamas’ (left). The latest trend is the classic look. This was Tabitha Willett, MIC’s star, wearing a hand-mocked gown on Ottilie.
This is the latest trend in fashion – traditional looks include smocked collars, traditional dungarees, and hand knitted clothes.
Tiffany stated that brightly colored clothes have gone – no longer are influencers dressing their children in unicorn pajamas and multicoloured clothes.
‘It’s now all about traditional wear and dresses. Smock London has the most stunning collared night gowns that Mary Poppins would love.
“End all trendy hooded tracksuits for baby! British tradition is being adopted by influential people who choose to dress their children in traditional smocked clothes, including Anna Fie.
Purchase new
Secondhand is not the new thing: Sustainable fashion has been in the limelight more than ever. Even yummy mummies and influencers are now taking a peek at their kids’ closets
Even influencers, yummy mummies and yummy mommas are now taking an in-depth look at the closets of their kids as sustainable fashion is making headlines.
Baby clothes will not last more than three months so it is a good idea to shop second-hand at designer shops.
Tiffany said: ‘Buying everything new is out – influencers still wants their little ones decked out in designer clothes but there’s now a new way to do it. Kidswear collective, which offers preloved designer clothes, is currently the best place to shop.
For the baby, garish gyms
This is not aesthetically pleasing.
To blend with the influencers’ chic interiors, wooden gyms are a better choice.
Plastic and bright gyms, just like clothes, are not the new trend.
Tiffany stated, “Flashing colorful and bright play gyms is not the way to go. Anything garish or musical will be out.”
“Activity gyms need to be sleek and wooden, just like Little Dutch models and the play-gym de jour from lLovevery, in order to fit in with the stylish homes of influencers.
Clay handprints
The old DIY handprinting kits made of clay are now obsolete.

Tiffany suggests that bronze sleek sculptures will be a great way to keep your child’s first memories – as well as tiny limbs.
FEMAIL was informed by her: “Clay handprints at the birth of your baby are not in.
‘Influencers are turning away from clay handprints and instead heading to Wrightson and Platt who create beautiful bronze sculptures using your baby’s hands and feet. Pure luxury’.
Tiffany says that sleek bronze sculptures can be a great way to keep your baby’s first memories – as well as tiny limbs.
