I Road-Tested the Bugaboo Ant Stroller, and It Makes Traveling with a Toddler (Almost) Bearable
As for my toddler’s reaction to it? I actually think he behaves better in it. He’s a bit lower to the ground, given that it’s more compact, which seems to make him feel more engaged in the world around him. It’s like he zones out and forgets about me the second he’s in it—a parenting win.
The only caveat: There’s a bit of a learning curve at first. I definitely had to watch the official directional video a few times and follow along step by step to really master how to quickly fold this guy. That said, now that I've figured it out, I am obsessed with how seamless it is to set up and break down. I can basically do all that one-handed too.
Would I take it on my next flight? For sure. We’ve taken it on road trips already, and it takes up zero space in the car. Will I continue to use it to hit up the local playground and dash to music class or the grocery store with my toddler in tow? Absolutely. I love my full-size stroller the most, but the Ant is an actual weight lifted.
And by weight lifted, I mean all that back-breaking upper-body effort I used to exert just to get up my stairs. Talk about relief.
