VAN GOGH ON THE GO C ultured City kids rejoice as Bugaboo launches yet another stroller inspired by one of the world’s finest artists. The Bugaboo Bee 3 + Van Gogh collection takes the Dutch artist’s signature style and soft color palette and applies it to Bugaboo’s ultimate city stroller. This art aficionado-approved ride is a top pick for museum hopping—from the Louvre to the V&A to the Met. The easy stroll, excellent suspension, one-piece fold and compact size makes it pond-hoppingly simple and city-right. The stroller features a canopy and footmuff in the Almond Blossom print with a silk/satin finish, after Van Gogh’s study of the flora famously painted for newborn nephew Vincent Willem, which now hangs in the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. The detailed design of the art-inspired stroller befits the masterpiece. The coated green chassis and matching faux leather handlebar serve as a visual extension of tree branches and the petrol blue seat fabric and bassinet recall the painting’s clear blue sky background. If you already have a Bee 3 , don’t fret! Bugaboo offers a Van Gogh breezy canopy and footmuff separately. Talk about art from the start! babesta.com/bugaboo
