Bugaboo Dragonfly

Thread: "Pram choice criticism "

I've got the bugaboo dragonfly and love it for all those reasons. The folding is super helpful for storing in tight spaces and the pram is lightweight but feels robust.

Thread: "Need one great stroller — is the Cybex Priam it, or is there something better?"

I don’t have experience with the Cybex but we have the Bugaboo Fox 5 and we love it. Based on what you’re describing I’d consider the Bugaboo Dragonfly! If you are near a big department store like Nordstrom, maybe try to pop in and test them out!

Thread: "Prams - did you regret getting a larger, heavy pram for your first baby?"

I have a redsbaby nuvo but I have twins and so I needed a double pram from the get go. The nuvo is great and I really like it but if I was just having a singleton I would genuinely go for like a travel pram. The redsbaby skip 3 looks really good because it has an actual bassinet attachment as well as the regular seat. I've also heard good things about the bugaboo butterfly and dragonfly. If you're planning on a second baby in close succession to your first you might want a pram that can be a double though which might rule out a lot of the more compact prams.

Fox 5 and Uppababy Vista is only a pound or two difference.. and they're both equally bulky (i have both) Have you considered a Dragonfly from Bugaboo?

Thread: "What stroller did you get? "

Loveeee my bugaboo dragonfly, I recommend it to everyone.

Thread: "Stroller help - bugaboo dragonfly as the only stroller in the city?"

I was looking for a stroller this time last year and was debating between the Minu v2 and the Dragonfly. I ended up going with the Minu because the Dragonfly had only just been released a few weeks prior and I didn’t want to make such a large purchase without enough time in market.

Thread: "Yoyo bassinet vs bugaboo dragonfly for nyc"

Yeah from what I’m reading I think we’ll probably go for the dragonfly and get the butterfly down the line. I love bugaboo! :) considering joolz aer+ too now! A friend has it and loves it! Doesn’t have the fold down bassinet though. Would love to get my hands on that!

Thread: "Bugaboo Dragonfly vs Uppababy Cruz v2"

I don’t think the Cruz is in the same category, it’s not an easy fold or lightweight by any means. I looked at the dragonfly and the salesperson at the store actually talked me out of it. The folding mechanism is a bit weird. I ended up going with the Nuna Triv Next, which is super easy to use. I saw they have another model now, the Swiv, which can move sideways and looks like it stands on its own. But if I had to carry a stroller up 4 flight of stairs I would go with something like a Minu or Joolz Aer that’s way more lightweight. Try to go to a store where you can test them out in person. Albee Baby on the UWS is great!

Thread: "Is a pram necessary?"

Get a Yoyo or the Bugaboo dragonfly - perfect for walking around and public transport in London

Thread: "Prams - did you regret getting a larger, heavy pram for your first baby?"

Went with the uppababy Cruz v2, i love the overall pram but still find it fairly bulky. I wish I had opted for the Nuna triv / bugaboo dragonfly as it was also the top contenders when searching for a pram at the time.

Thread: "Need one great stroller — is the Cybex Priam it, or is there something better?"

So not the exact stroller but we were between the Cybex Gazelle and Bugaboo Fox 5 and after testing we felt bugaboo in general felt smoother and higher quality. 4 months in and love our Fox 5. Agree with the other comment recommending the Dragonfly!

Thread: "Good city strollers?"

Our daily driver with my six month old is a uppababy Cruz. There’s a reason that uppababy has the chokehold it does on DC, they’re amazing. At first I did struggle with the size/weight but as baby gets bigger and as our trips around the city get longer, I’ve really come to appreciate why it’s worth it. If space permits at all, though, it can be really nice to have something smaller/lighter for different situations - we keep a Chicco caddy in our car for short trips with the chicco car seat (we’ve also used that one for plane travel in the past) and we recently added a bugaboo butterfly for future trips that involve more walking. That said, if I could go back, I’d seriously look at the bugaboo dragonfly as a good marriage between a travel stroller and a full size. The fold is AMAZING. It was a bit out of my budget at the time (I got the uppababy on a Black Friday deal too good to pass up) but I keep trying it when I see it in stores because it’s just so good. European strollers in general seem to be a bit better tailored to the stairs-and-walking city life than the more car-oriented American market.

Thread: "Brooklyn Stroller Recommendation- Doona and Uppababy Vista?"

I also want a lightweight, travel-friendly stroller for the city and am waiting for the updated Uppababy Minu v3 to drop in early 2025 to compare with Nuna Trvl Lx, Bugaboo Dragonfly, etc. I have friends who really like their Doona, but I read that it’s not approved for sale in Canada because it didn’t pass their safety tests and generally isn’t rated as high on safety compared to other car seat brands so leaning towards a Nuna car seat that can go baseless.

Thread: "Bugaboo dragonfly or Uppababy Cruz?"

We have the dragonfly and really love it! It folds with the bassinet which is handy, has a carrying strap for over the shoulder, and has a decent amount of storage space for a smaller stroller. Oh and the seat is super easy to change between forward facing and rear facing which is an unforeseen handy feature in the summer with the sun! All in all we really like it and always say it was one of our best baby purchases.

Thread: "Pram choice criticism "

Thank you, its so useful to hear from people who have it!

Thread: "Stroller help - bugaboo dragonfly as the only stroller in the city?"

Ive used my friends dragonfly and its size is in between a Cruz and butterfly (which we have one of each) If your apartment had an elevator then I'll def recommend a Cruz for grocery /neighborhood walk since it's newborn compatible. If you don't plan to use the stroller much the first 6 months, then get the butterfly since you can use it only after 6th month and use a baby carrier the first 6 months. If you really just want one stroller , then it's the yoyo with newborn bassinet.

Thread: "Stroller help - bugaboo dragonfly as the only stroller in the city?"

I use the dragonfly as my daily - that’s the one that lives unfolded in the hallway because it gets enough use to justify the floor space haha. I really don’t like the yoyo very much, so only use it for big outings. Once a week at most. My kids are 15 months and 4.5 years old for reference! The big one is pretty lazy though so she loves having a ride on board (which we do for both strollers)

Thread: "Stroller help - bugaboo dragonfly as the only stroller in the city?"

I looked at the dragonfly, but ended up getting the fox for our main stroller plus a butterfly. It’s annoying, but 2 strollers makes more sense than trying to find one that does it all.

Thread: "Are bugaboo strollers worth the hype? [BC]"

We’re in Vancouver as well and just got the dragonfly. Loving it!

Thread: "Nuna Triv Next as the only stroller?"

I use this as my only stroller but I recently got a bugaboo to take with me to trips. Don’t want our triv to be destroyed by handlers

Thread: "Bugaboo dragonfly or other suggestions"

We have the dragonfly. Our baby is only 5 weeks old, but we love it. You said this isn’t important to you, but it’s very light and easy to load in and out of the car. In my opinion, the dragonfly feels solid and is very easy to maneuver. I chose it because we wanted a full size stroller with good storage, but not something quite so heavy or awkward (all our friends have the uppababy). We live in a hilly area and haven’t had any moments of concern. A bonus for us is that the stroller is incredibly easy to maneuver and store when folded. It’s very flat, stands on its own, and can be wheeled around instead of carried.

The joolz does have a bassinet! It’s a great nyc stroller imo

Thread: "Buggy suggestions?"

This is after a John Lewis appointment, we were set on the Dragonfly but then went to read the reviews. I think we will have to make a trip back again now.

Thread: "Losing my mind shopping for strollers - some specific needs!"

The dragonfly should be fine on gravel because it’s four wheel suspension. Bigger rocks might be a problem, but gravel should be fine.

Thread: "Bugaboo Fox 5 renew or Dragonfly"

We live in a city and had this same debate. Ultimately, we went with the Dragonfly and have loved it. It’s so easy to fold while holding the baby (took a little practice, but it’s a breeze now). It’s light enough to carry up and down our half flight and it folds up really narrow. What we have loved most is how easy it is to take out to restaurants and the grocery store. It being so narrow makes moving around so easy! It is harder to push around in things like snow, but overall I wouldn’t go back and change our decision as lugging around a bigger stroller would be more inconvenient more often than the smooth ride would be nice.

Thread: "Yoyo bassinet vs bugaboo dragonfly for nyc"

I can fold with dragonfly while holding my baby, and it’s much much sturdier than the yoyo. I actually purchased the butterfly over the yoyo for a travel pram too. The yoyo was just a bit flimsy imho

Thread: "Anyone with a sedan- what stroller are you using that fits in your trunk?"

We have a well loved peg perego stroller someone passed down to us, and we got a peg perego car seat to go with it. But I also bought a bugaboo butterfly for when baby turned 6 months cause the other one was huge and I hated lugging it around. The bugaboo butterfly is amazing. I also considered the dragonfly but in the end butterfly was the better option for us. I got it off Albee baby on sale as open box, got about $115 off.

Thread: "Buggy suggestions?"

We got the bugaboo dragonfly and loving it!! Living in a really rural area and had no issues so far getting it up and down hills, through little paths (with sticks, leaves and dirt) and it’s really light so easy to carry for short distances even if you have to. Folds in like 3 seconds too so you wouldn’t have an issue with it in London. They can also use it until they’re around 4 years old so it’s pretty good value for money. I also used to live in London so got friends there and I know some people who also got it and like it. So that’s my vote but I can’t speak on the other two.

Thread: "Bugaboo dragonfly or other suggestions"

Are you able to go to a store to test it out in person? I thought the Dragonfly was super cool and loved it in theory when I saw reviews on youtube. When I went to test it out in person, the frame still felt a bit wobbly and the fold was just kinda awkward. I think I googled Dragonfly near me and found a local boutique baby store that had a selection of strollers. Maybe try to see if you can find something near you? I have the Uppababy Cruz v2 and love it! Feels super sturdy and great for walking. The basket is SO BIG and I tend to overpack so it’s nice to have a large basket to dump things in.

Thread: "Bugaboo Fox 5 renew or Dragonfly"

FTD here, and we're leaning towards the Dragonfly. The size is a little smaller and lighter than an UppaBaby Cruz, and the one handed fold looks great. I think the Fox takes a bit more to fold

Thread: "Bugaboo dragonfly or Uppababy Cruz?"

We love our bugaboo dragonfly! So much storage and such smooth handling.

Thread: "Nuna Demi Grow on sale in Nordstrom, should I wait for Black Friday?"

>Bugaboo Dragonfly The Drangonfly is a compact stroller and I want it something "bigger" for space while shopping, but I guess that depends on where you live. I live in Colorado, with 4 seasons weather from 100 degrees to Snow time, so having a good big stroller with strong wheels was the way to go for me. But for people in a city when they move around a lot I might went with he Doona to start or the drangonfly for sure! If worth something off alll reviews I really liked the lady from destination baby & kids. Bests reviews ever! Two great videos here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2QxLk6fxFc&t=68s&ab\_channel=DestinationBaby%26Kids](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2QxLk6fxFc&t=68s&ab_channel=DestinationBaby%26Kids) .

Thread: "Redsbaby Aeron vs Baby Jogger City Mini GT?"

Mostly pretty happy. There is no perfect pram - just a pram that you’re most happy to comprise on certain things for so you can have other things. The basket size has been good. Means I can pop out for a small supermarket shop and fit it in the pram. I will say the pram fold is not as smooth and easy as it looks in the redsbaby videos! But I rarely fold it anyway, because it’s such a drag to put baby in the car and car seat, so we walk almost anywhere if we can. And it’s good to have a lighter and smaller pram for zipping around the inner city streets and going in little cafes. Bottom line, I would say if you need a compact pram for inner city living with a fair amount of basket space, I think it’s a good option and not as exy as the comparable Bugaboo Dragonfly.

Thread: "Travel systems "

I'm planning to buy the Bugaboo Dragonfly. It's lightweight and folds easily. It also has good reviews, especially on Which? But I actually preferred the Fox 5. It's also lightweight, but, unfortunately, it's really bulky.

Thread: "Travel systems "

Your insights are suuuuper helpful thank you so so much. Our nursery appointment at John Lewis is next week so I will be sure to try both the Fox 5 and the Dragonfly. Best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy 😊

Hi, did you get the bugaboo dragonfly in the end? How have you been finding it? In particular the suspension/ability to go over kerbs, grass or gravel? Looking for a lightweight travel system from newborn to toddler stage!

Bugaboo dragonfly. All the durability of a full size with the lightness of a travel. It’s legit AF

Thread: "Did you have a bassinet attachment for your stroller?"

The donkey and dragonfly look like good upgrades (and are newer) from the bee!

Thread: "Did you have a bassinet attachment for your stroller?"

In that case I’d honestly recommend the Fox or Dragonfly. The rider board they sell is compatible with both for older toddlers. If you really want a double though, I’d go Donkey. When it’s in single mode, you have a great side basket attachment that is super nice. I would have absolutely used the donkey with a singleton.

Thread: "Please just tell me what stroller to buy"

Bugaboo dragonfly. Bassinet and seat fold into the stroller so takes up less space leaving more room for luggage in the trunk

Thread: "Prams - did you regret getting a larger, heavy pram for your first baby?"

We got the uppababy vista originally but hated how much boot space and footpath space it took up (we walk a lot in our suburb). We ended up switching to a bugaboo dragonfly and really love it!

Thread: "Stroller advice/Bugaboo Dragonfly wheels? "

Ugh I’m so torn! The bugaboo dragonfly is on sale on Amazon for 70% off but I don’t live in the city. While most of my time will be spent on sidewalks, pavement or indoors, we do live in an area where we occasionally go to festivals and have to walk through a field of grass or a pumpkin patch and what not.

Thread: "Brooklyn Stroller Recommendation- Doona and Uppababy Vista?"

Ugh also waiting for the Minu v3 to drop but I’m due in April and it’s unclear when it’s being released!

Thread: "Strollers - what did you wish you knew before you bought?"

We are happy with what we got. We have the bugaboo dragonfly. It's expensive but it's exactly what we wanted. It's narrow (narrower than it looks actually) so we can fit almost anywhere which is important cause we have narrow sidewalks that are often full of parked bikes. It has decent suspension which is good for the worse sidewalks here. It folds up for storing easily (I can do it with one hand). The push bar is very adjustable, so can be made short for elevators or tight spaces or very long and tall for my husband. And it pushes super easily, even with one hand, so easy to use even with the dog. The downside is that it is super heavy and doesn't fold all that small. So we don't usually bring it when we go anywhere by car. Instead we just got a second hand yoyo which we will use for this purpose and for when we travel by plane. YouTube was a useful resource to help us figure out what we were looking for in a stroller and once we knew, 20 min in the store trying different strollers and asking the sales agent questions settled it for us. For what it's worth it really was by far the most time I spent researching a purchase.

You actually can get a bassinet attachment for the joolz aer! I used it for my second kid and it was great!

I would check out the yoyo 3. The new model has a bigger basket and is newborn compatible.

Thread: "infant stroller recommendations that are not travel systems"

I really like the bugaboo dragonfly. Great one-handed fold with seat or bassinet, good storage space, excellent push, but still lightweight.

Thread: "infant stroller recommendations that are not travel systems"

It just seems like most of them are not fully designed for a newborn unless you use the car seat or a bassinet attachment. The as is stroller configuration for a lot of models seems to be for 6mo and older. I'm just curious which strollers are designed to accommodate newborns without a carseat/bassinet attachment.
