what are the differences? I know the new one has a bigger seat for bigger toddlers, it expands as they grow. I noticed from pictures the new one doesn't really have sides on it as such. It doesn't look like it would feel very secure or cosy? The old one has kind of side wing thingys? What is so new and improved about it?

Also what is the difference between the baby nest and foot muff? Would one of these do? Does it come with a rain cover?

Thanks wise people

new bee has improved suspension, the handlebar doesnt slip as it has 10 set height adjustments. Hood is a lot better, and seat is LOADS bigger. The wings have gone so it folds a lot easier, and its a lot easier to get the seat on and off to change from front to rear facing.
The nest is smaller and is narrower than the seat so cosier for tiny babies. it is built specifically for newborns to give the support they need in the seat. It has a built in head hugger, and the back is much more padded than the footmuff to make the seat softer if you see what I mean. The footmuff is bigger has no head hugger and not as much support for a newborn. I wouldnt put a newborn in either the new or old bee without the nest, but I'm a bit neurotic about these things. buy the nest second hand as they are in use for such a short time there are always loads available in excellent condition!
Yes it comes with a raincover.
