Important Safety Announcement - Bugaboo replaces carry handle for the Bugaboo Cameleon³

The safety and wellbeing of our customers and their families is paramount at Bugaboo. It’s our policy to act whenever we identify potential risks for injury, or are made aware of them - even if the likelihood of this occurrence is limited. 
That’s why we’re sharing news about a replacement carry handle for Bugaboo Cameleon³ pushchairs with specific serial numbers S/N 190101115300001 to 
S/N 190105124800215. 


The Bugaboo Cameleon³ is compliant to all international regulatory safety standards. However, a small number of customer reports and our own follow-up testing confirm that in the case of these specific Bugaboo Cameleon³ pushchairs (serial numbers 
S/N 190101115300001 to S/N 190105124800215) their current carry handle connectors may break, presenting a falling hazard. No injuries have been reported. Carry handle connectors connect the carry handle to the carrycot or seat. 

Bugaboo is making replacement carry handles available to those affected Bugaboo Cameleon³ owners at no cost. Our replacement carry handle has been proven to withstand stress at the carry handle connection point in extensive, practice-driven tests by Bugaboo and recognised international bodies, TüV and Intertek. 
 Customers who have registered for a replacement carry handle will receive a replacement handle, with instructions for installation, within three weeks after registration subject to availability.
