Bye-Bye Buggy Buying Tips

Year after year, the Bye-Bye Buggy by Angeles is one of our most popular preschool products. The buggy is an early childhood educator's dream, allowing for safe and easy transport of multiple children during nature walks, field trips and more.

Since the buggy is so durable, it's common to see models made 20-plus years ago still being used on a daily basis. Newer models sometimes require different replacement parts, so take note of these helpful tips that allow you to find the correct accessories quickly and easily.

Difference in Bye-Bye Buggy Models

Here at Schools In, we carry three base models of the Bye-Bye Buggy.

  • Original Bye-Bye Buggy - The most noticeable difference on the Original Bye-Bye Buggy is the striped seat pads. The Original was also initially built with "thin" tires. Current models of the Original Bye-Bye Buggy are sold with upgraded Fat Tires, but buggies that date back several years might still have the thin tires. Comes in four- and six-seat styles.
  • Never Flat Bye-Bye Buggy - The Never Flat Bye-Bye Buggy has gray seat pads. This unit was originally made as an "upgrade" from the Original Bye-Bye Buggy as it featured their new Fat Tires. However, due to the damages in the new design, the Never Flat was changed to match the design of the Original Bye-Bye Buggy with Fat Tires. Comes in four- and six-seat styles.
  • Bye-Bye Bus - The Bye-Bye Bus has a yellow exterior and fun school bus design. Comes in a six-seat style only.

Remember: The Original Bye-Bye Buggy, Never Flat Bye-Bye Buggy and Bye-Bye Bus that we currently sell at Schools In are all the exact same unit with the following exceptions: the Original has striped pads, the Never Flat has gray pads and the Bus is painted yellow.

Knowing Which Bye-Bye Buggy Replacement Tires to Buy

There are a few tips to keep in mind when ordering replacement tires:

  • Fat Tire Replacements are always compatible with the Never Flat Bye-Bye Buggy. They are only compatible with the Original Bye-Bye Buggy and Bye-Bye Buses that currently have Fat Tires. If a customer has a Bye-Bye Buggy or Bye-Bye Bus with thin tires - these Fat Tire Replacements will not be compatible.
  • Fat Tire Upgrade Replacements are available on Bye-Bye Buggy and Bye-Bye Bus models that currently have thin tires. This system upgrades the unit from outdated thin tires to Fat Tires. Since Angeles has discontinued all thin tires, the upgrade kit is the only way to replace thin tires.

Can My Thin Tires Be Upgraded?

Most Bye-Bye Buggy thin tires can be upgraded but since the buggies have the potential to last for decades, there are some exceptions among very old models. Here's how to check if your Original Bye-Bye Buggy or Bus with thin tires can be updated; the key is to look at the canopy hole location:

  • If the canopy holes on the Bye-Bye Buggy or Bus are down the center of the stroller (three holes in between each seat) then the thin tires CAN be upgraded using the Fat Tire Upgrade Kit.
  • If the canopy holes on the Bye-Bye Buggy or Bus are located on the sides of the stroller (on the outer edges - six holes), the unit CANNOT be upgraded as compatible parts are no longer manufactured.
