Bugaboo - Kangaroo

Bugaboo Kangaroo is far superior to the Uppababy. We have a Silver Cross Wave but if I were to go back and do it all over again I’d get a Bugaboo all the way. We do have the Bugaboo Butterfly as our travel stroller and use that way more (fits in overhead bin on airplane!)

We went with a bugaboo kangaroo due to the rugged suspension (we live in an area with cobblestone streets and uneven sidewalks with poorly cut curbs), and large storage basket for our small pup to ride along. At the end of the day, everything depends on lifestyle: 1. urban/suburban, terrain? 2. do you need to transport the stroller up and down flights of stairs, in and out of cars? 3. do you have ample storage space, or is having a small/collapsible unit a priority? 4. are you planning to have another child in quick succession/ need a stroller that is duo-compatible (whether tandem or side by side)? 5. How key is maneuverability? Are you pushing your child on tight sidewalks and in small stores? up hills? on hikes?

Bugaboo kangaroo for large stroller with incredible wheels (for these sidewalks and streets and cobblestones).  Uppababy Minu v3 for travel stroller in the car (also fits in the carry-on compartment of airplanes), and for smooth ground (going to a mall? American Dream?) 

Bugaboo Kangaroo fits this description. The wheels are powerful and can take on snow and rough terrain. A bassinet that converts to a stroller seat is included with the stroller, as do adaptors for car seats. When the time comes you would need to purchase a sibling seat, and/or a wheeled board for toddlers and older children if they prefer to stand while being carted around.

I have the bugaboo kangaroo and love it but nice list!

Yep, this. Exactly why I went for the Bugaboo Kangaroo instead

I personally love it! I've never had a vista SnooGadgets so I'd definitely use their review as a data point having had both. But the kangaroo has been a workhorse for us. I love the bassinet on top feature and the true one hand fold - vs vista having two hand fold and and bassinet on bottom. I actually can and do fold the kangaroo down with one hand while holding my baby in the other arm. It's big for sure but not insanely so - it's not a travel stroller. I tested both uppababy and bugaboos and bugaboo won in terms of stroller glide and navigation for me, too. Personally I think if you went for the Kangaroo you wouldn't regret it! ETA - all babies are individual but my baby ZONKS out in the bassinet for walking naps - and stays asleep in it when we move the bassinet inside.

Have a bugaboo kangaroo for the same reason. Also, the bassinet frame converts to the seat frame so it's one less thing to store if you live in a smaller space. Have had zero issues when bugaboo customer service!

I have the bugaboo kangaroo. haven’t used it for 2 yet (just found out I’m pregnant 3 days ago!), but it’s been a dream for my girl. excited to use it with them both

If you’re not worried about budget I would suggest not getting a double. If you need it later get one then, they are generally heavier and bulkier prams even in single mode. The uppababy Cruz for example is almost exactly the same as the vista just a single pram and a bit lighter and a tiny bit smaller footprint. As a nanny I pushed a fair few prams, and one I did not enjoy at all was a Joolz. I found it just not nice to push and steer. I’m personally very fond of Bugaboo prams, a Fox or a Kangaroo if you want a double. Edit to add: I’d suggest going to a shop or an expo and pushing a few different prams around with a 10kg at least weight in them too see how they feel with a child in rather than just empty. Most prams feel lovely empty! You can feel the difference as more weight gets on them. Also worth considering your needs, are you city based and not likely to do much off pavement prams use? Or lots of cross country? Cause that matters for choice too. If you’re on and off trams in Melbourne a smaller pram might be what you want

Came here to say this!!! Have the Kangaroo as well and using it for my first right now but bought it for when we eventually have two and can use the bassinet on top level. Love the lower basket space, folds easily, very nice quality. Been walking it in parks as well as roads and it’s so smooth. Wonderful design if you appreciate clean design.

We got the kangaroo and we fricken love it.

Side by sides are tricky in shops and inside places for appointment. I had a side by side for #2 and didn’t like it for that. For #3 I got a bugaboo kangaroo same set up as uppababy but baby can go on top. I have 2y age gaps though with toddlers that are runners, if I had 3y I’d just get a good single.

I got a side by side double for my second and hated it, where I needed it most shopping centres and appointments it was a struggle to fit. 3# baby I got a single to double inline (bugaboo kangaroo) and I’m very happy with it.

Bugaboo kangaroo, uppa baby was designed for smooth foot paths and going in and out of the car. Bugaboo is European and designed for uneven foot paths off road. I have owned an older model vista and the kangaroo it’s just better. Newborn can also be up top, no bar through the middle of the basket

Getting bugaboo kangaroo solves issues with small basket on fox, seat sits higher and can convert to double. I upgraded from a fox to kangaroo for #3 love it, even compared vista side by side to kangaroo and features were very similar, the basket is bigger when you add in there’s not a bar through the middle like how it is on vista. Bassinet can go on top in double mode vs has to go on bottom for vista

We compared bugaboo kangaroo and vista side by side, they are super similar so i dont think you can go wrong either way. things that sold us on the kangaroo was the bassinet up top, no bar through the basket, and better suspension/ more all terrain. i have previously owned a older vista and bugaboo fox too. Bugaboo has easy to buy replacement parts too.

Bugaboo fox / kangaroo is amazing for easy of push and a great all rounder. Thule urban would be a better push but much smaller basket less good for things inside (shops)

You 100% get what you pay for with prams. My advice is go back to baby bunting and test out all the different prams ignore price. Once you have found one you like follow it on fb marketplace for a while, then you can gage what price they go for, for different years and condition and you will know a good deal when you see one. The good majority of prams the fabric can be stripped off and washed in the machine. Personally I love bugaboo I had a second hand fox and upgraded to new kangaroo, only reason I get second hand for the kangaroo is there aren’t any.

Bugaboo kangaroo is love, I have owned a vista and it’s meh, owned and hated city select soo much.

I have a wonderfold, 4 seater. I use it for family daycare when I have 4 children and we walk to the park. I only put it in the car if we are going somewhere like the zoo. A good quality pram/ stroller is soo much nicer to push and put in and out of the car. I love my bugaboo kangaroo for my own 2 children and would go that over a wagon for 2 children.

Kangaroo is what I’m upgrading to for #3, the fox is the best pram in my opinion and the kangaroo is only a tiny bit longer version of the fox. I got a side by when I had #2 and it was just too big for shops and cafes. The suspension is better on bugaboo vs uppababy.

Currently using it with my 2m old and 2y old. Absolutely love it, I previously had bugaboo fox and in single mode it’s super similar. Things I like - can push with one hand, I also have a 4y old so need to hold his hand sometimes. -bassinet up top, toddler can get into bottom seat himself. - huge basket - super smooth to push and can handle grass and other terrain at the park. - bassinet has flaps to allow lots of air flow. - much improved fold vs fox1. For comparison I have owned 10+ prams and also been a nanny using others prams including uppababy vista. Bugaboo kangaroo is by far my favourite.

I loved my bugaboo fox so much I upgraded to a kangaroo. If basket size is a must the kangaroo has the same size as at Cruz/vista without a bar in the middle. Kangaroo has a great fold too vs earlier fox models but fox 5 may have fixed it too. I have owned a vista and the suspension, easy of push on uneven surfaces is far superior in bugaboo.

There’s a huge range but for example Valco ultra and city mini gt are both mid range and fine but not as good as bugaboo.

Having been a nanny before having my own I got to try out many prams, then when I had my first I had a obsession with finding the perfect prams for me. I brought second hand and resold 10+. There is a big difference in cheap and expensive prams in how they are to push loaded up with a toddler /stuff and the features they have. After everything bugaboo is my favourite. We do a lot of park walk on uneven ground. That’s great that you found a pram that works for your family.

Being a nanny before having my own children and buy 10+ second hand prams, I can confirm high end models are worth it, it may not be noticeable when playing with them in shop or with a newborn but once you put a toddler in there and a full diaper bag huge difference in performance. Personally I love bugaboo and would buy a second hand one over a mid range brand new one.

Bugaboo is the best! The Butterfly is awesome for travel and the harness/crotch straps are way better than Uppababy in my opinion.
