The swoon-worthy Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew is a multi-faceted grow-with-me baby stroller. It comes with a pram as well as a toddler seat — both of which easily attach to (and detach from) the stroller frame. Additionally, parents can connect both in parent-facing or world-facing positions.

PRAM MODE:
The pram can be used for the first 6 months of your baby’s life (or until they can sit up unassisted). This gives them a flat surface that’s comfortable for napping while being chauffeured around town (what a life!).

The bassinet now features a new quilted interior lining for an elevated feel, a built-in pocket on the apron for small essentials, and the new dual-sided PureBreeze™ mattress with antibacterial protection and breathable comfort.

TODDLER SEAT MODE:
The toddler seat is the next step up as your child grows. With one-hand reclining capability, the seat has multiple positions for a comfortable ride every time. It’s ergonomically padded to support their development, and comes with a new adjustable footrest to give growing kids a couple of extra inches to stretch out!

The seat is reversible, extendable by up to 10 cm (4 inches), and includes a super-soft, independently fastened 5-point harness for a snug but comfy fit.

CAR SEAT MODE:
The Fox 5 Renew can be turned into a travel system by attaching your child’s car seat to the frame. It’s compatible with seats from Cybex, Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Clek. (Adapters sold separately.)

The Freewheelin' Fox

Bugaboo makes operating the Fox 5 Renew a total dream wherever you’re going! If you are looking for a stroller that can perform on all terrain, you won’t be disappointed.

SMOOTH AS BUTTER:
A refined chassis design ensures the stroller moves with ease at all times. The central joint has been moved closer to the rear, making for lighter steering and giving parents extra room when pushing the stroller.

WONDER WHEELS:
Designed with 8.5” wheels in the front and 12” in the back, the Fox 5 Renew’s wheels are durable and spoke-designed for a premium look and feel. The front swivel wheels can also be locked for added safety and stability on rough terrain or when jogging with the stroller.

HANDLE WITH CARE:
Parents will love the handlebar, which is wrapped in high-end stitched leather.
The stroller’s fold, handlebar height, recline, and canopy adjustment are all designed to be controlled with just one hand for ultimate convenience.

Baby-Orientated Design

Babies enjoy their time in the Fox 5 Renew thanks to a number of thoughtful comfort features:

HELPFUL HARNESS:
Children stay safe and secure in the toddler seat via its harness, which comes with a 5-point buckle system for getting them in and out of the stroller easily. Each strap fastens independently for hassle-free loading. Dense padding is also included on the harness straps so your child stays comfortable at all times.

HIGH-UP SEATING:
The seating position for the bassinet and toddler seat is quite high — this keeps babies closer to their caretakers and also makes it easier for parents to reach their little ones.

BENEFICIAL BUMPER:
A bumper bar is included on the toddler seat to give children something to hold on to (it also protects them if you accidentally bump into something!).

COMPLETE CANOPY:
The extendable UPF 50+ canopy includes a peek-a-boo window for airflow and connection. It adjusts with one hand to accommodate your growing child.

Convenience for Parents

Not overlooking parental needs, Bugaboo includes features that will delight operators as well!

HERE, THERE, & EVERYWHERE:
The Fox 5 Renew collapses in a one-fold (with the seat or carry cot) or two-fold configuration, making it easy to store out of sight or load into your vehicle when taking it with you for the day. The stroller has an automatic, self-standing position.

COLOUR US IMPRESSED:
Choose from five all-new, earthy colourways inspired by nature — giving this edition a sleek, modern refresh that’s both stylish and sustainable.

WASH ‘N GO:
Not only are the stroller fabrics soft, super durable, and water repellant, but they’re also machine washable for easy cleaning whenever needed! Better yet, the fabrics are crafted from 100% recycled PET bottles and the frame from recycled aluminum and bio-based materials — reducing its carbon footprint by 30%.

BIG BASKET:
The easy-access under-seat basket with extendable flaps can hold up to 22 lbs. of daily essentials — perfect for stowing your purse, diaper bag, and anything else you may need when you are out and about.

ONE-HAND ADJUSTMENT:
As a busy parent, it may always seem like your hands are full. Keeping this in mind, Bugaboo designed many of the Fox 5 Renew’s features to be adjustable with just one hand, including a one-handed fold, handlebar, backrest recline, footrest adjustment, and canopy length adjustment.
