Bugaboo - Dragonfly 2-in-1 Stroller

Glad I'm not the only one to come away from JL more confused about what I want! I really struggled to commit to one just based on internet reviews / the John Lewis test drive. I ended up with a Bugaboo Dragonfly (which I LOVE) but I rented it (brand new) from Baboodle with a view to trying out as many prams with the baby as I needed to find the right one. I was stressing about picking the perfect everything and that took the pressure right off. Baboodle also allowed me to realise I hate the Artipoppe sling without pissing away 300 quid on one.

The **bugaboo dragonfly** is the only stroller that meets all your requirements. Reversible seat, bassinet option (it even collapses with the bassinet on), quite light, compatible with Nuna car seat. You could also consider the **joolz aer+** if you would like to prioritize keeping the stroller in the air cabin vs reversible seat (which is valid). You may not need parent-facing for too long anyway if you use the bassinet. I know the Bugaboo works with Nuna - unsure on this one.

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

Bugaboo all the way! I use dragonfly bcos I live in London and want it to be easier to take in the tubes etc but the upper versions are much better. Its. Dutch brand and we did plenty of research before buying one. Also it has a warranty of 4 years. Our pram was broken when we took it for travelling and it was exchanged in a couple of days. The customer service was amazing and hassle free.

Bugaboo Dragonfly, first stroller, bought new but planning to re-sell after we won't need it 🥰

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.

The bugaboo dragonfly works really well in the countryside!! I live in a rural village and I took it up and down somewhat rocky paths multiple times and it was absolutely fine. Not with the bassinet maybe though but once baby is old enough to be strapped in, you’ll be ok.

I researched the Dragonfly immediately after your comment. I’ve decided to get the Dragonfly soon 😊

You can't go wrong with either. I personally would choose a V2 ($699) and newborn insert over either and pocket the savings, or V3 if I had the disposable income. [https://uppababy.com.au/collections/expo-deals](https://uppababy.com.au/collections/expo-deals) I have used a friend's Bugaboo Dragonfly and did not like the maneuverability, storage, frame sturdiness (especially over rough surfaces during our 1.5-2hr afternoon walks) and materials versus the Cruz V2 at the time. Ours fits in a Honda Jazz boot or behind the passenger or driver seat in the footwell vertically if needed for long road trips and the storage space is so good when doing grocery runs. The fold is easy and solid compared to some single handed models that are hit and miss (the only single fold we like for consistency is the Joolz Aer+/2 versions). The con of the fold is that we have steps at our home between the garage and front door so we have to collapse and carry the pram before bringing it in/out on occasion when we wanted to do neighbourhood strolls. If I ever consider getting a small pram I would miss the build quality and ability to go over rougher surfaces so it is forever our primary though the Joolz Aer 2 would be a look in with the upgraded tyres.

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

Dragonfly is the best and not enough people know it!
