Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew vs Nuna MIXX next
A $599 difference, with the more expensive stroller being the Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew at $1,499 against the MIXX next at $900. The Fox is the lighter at 26.45 lb against 28.3, and it includes a bassinet, where the MIXX seat reclines flat from birth and its bassinet is sold separately. Fox also lists a handlebar that adjusts from 36.2 to 42.5 inches; Nuna publishes no range. The Fox folds with one hand to 17.3 x 23.6 x 35.4 inches, and the MIXX folds to a long 27.5 x 23.6 x 19. Car seats are close to a draw but each supports only one family by default: the Fox has a Turtle adapter, sold separately, and the MIXX has an included ring adapter for the Pipa. Owners praise both for suspension on rough ground, and some MIXX owners say the seat gets shallow past about 7 months. Without a tall parent or a firm wish for a bassinet in the box, the $599 is hard to justify, and the MIXX is the default.
Folded, the Nuna MIXX next makes a 7.14 cu ft box to the Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew's 8.36 cu ft. Neither fits a 22 x 14 x 9 in carry-on sizer: the Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew misses by 13.4 in and the Nuna MIXX next by 10 in. The Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew is 1.85 lb lighter by its maker's figure (26.45 lb to 28.3 lb).
