New York City; West Side: A Bugaboo, with insect net, on the subway:
Normally, I don’t photograph Bugaboos or Maclarens. Hordes of them tend to exist where the stroller spotting is best, which inherently makes them less interesting as sightings. I mean, you wouldn’t expect your average orinthographer snap robins like a fiend, would you?
However, one doesn’t often see the more exotic accessories in use. And, although it’s not clear why a Bugaboo-specific accessory is worth the money — you can get insect protection almost anywhere for a lot less than Bugaboo charges for theirs (at least in the US) — but this is one sleek net. See that seam? The day’s travel has misaligned it, but it’s meant to hug that hood perfectly. And the fit over the seat? No sloppy extra folds here, folks, no indeed.
For the record, the bugaboo insect net is included with the bugaboo. I won’t go into the costs of the bugaboo, but at least nobody is paying an extra $20 for the insect net.
Unless, of course, they lose it and *must* have a new one.
Good point – the accessories come with, so my reference to the Bugaboo cost is only if it’s replaced. You pay the “extra” upfront!
