Solid Choice

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a well-regarded stroller that parents find to be a solid all-around choice. It earns praise for its adaptability from birth to around 4 years, lightweight yet sturdy build, and smooth ride on various terrains. However, some caution that the lack of included accessories like a rain cover and footmuff may be inconvenient, and the sun canopy could provide better coverage. Overall, the Dragonfly seems to be a reliable option for city-dwelling families who value quality and versatility.

What parents love

Adaptable from birth to toddlerParents appreciate that the Dragonfly can be used from the newborn stage with a carrycot (sold separately) up to around 4 years old, making it a long-lasting investment.
Lightweight yet sturdyAt around 8kg, the Dragonfly is easy to lift and manoeuvre, yet parents report it feels solidly built and suitable for all-terrain use.
Smooth rideThe Dragonfly's suspension and large wheels provide a comfortable ride for little ones, even on uneven city streets and park paths.

Worth knowing

Lack of included accessoriesSome parents note that the Dragonfly doesn't come with a rain cover, footmuff, or other accessories, which may need to be purchased separately.
Sun canopy coverageA few parents feel the sun canopy could provide better coverage to protect their child from the elements.
Basket designThe basket's open sides mean items may occasionally fall out, which some find inconvenient.

Best for

  • City-dwelling families who value quality and versatility
  • Parents who want a stroller that can handle various terrains

May not suit

  • Families who need a compact, cabin-approved stroller for air travel
  • Parents on a tight budget who want all accessories included

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Consider whether the lack of included accessories like a rain cover and footmuff will be an issue for your needs.

Shopping Tip

Check if any Bugaboo bundles include the accessories you want, as buying them separately can add to the cost.

Getting the Most Out of It

Adjust the handlebar height and seat recline to ensure your child is comfortable on longer outings.

Safety Note

Always use the 5-point harness to keep your little one secure, especially when navigating uneven terrain.
