Mixed

The Bugaboo Dragonfly receives a mixed response from UK parents. Some appreciate its compact fold, flexible storage, and smooth city driving, but others report durability problems and design flaws that make it frustrating to use. Positive reviews tend to come from urban parents with smaller living spaces, while those with more active lifestyles or older babies find it less suitable.

What parents love

Compact foldParents like that the Dragonfly can fold with the seat or carrycot attached, making it easy to store in small homes or car boots.
Flexible storageThe large underseat basket and expandable rear pocket get praise for accommodating all the gear needed for daily outings.
Smooth city drivingThe Dragonfly's manoeuvrability and suspension are highlighted as making it well-suited for urban environments.

Worth knowing

Durability concernsMultiple parents report issues with the frame, wheels, and fabrics wearing out prematurely, even with light use.
Design flawsSome find the one-handed fold and seat adjustments difficult to operate, and the canopy doesn't provide enough coverage in wind or rain.
Suitability for older babiesAs babies grow, the Dragonfly is said to become less comfortable, with the seat and harness feeling restrictive.

Best for

  • Families who need a compact, flexible stroller for daily urban errands

May not suit
