Bugaboo Dragonfly, An Impartial Review: Mechanics, Comfort, Use

In order to keep our recommendations up to date, we maintain a 'Buyer's Guide' (with a wide spectrum of models, and a lot of technical and lifestyle-related information). Organizing our recommendations this way makes it easier to include good models that we haven't made review-videos for yet, as well as to remove models which have developed unforeseen wear-issues over time, or which have been weakened by the manufacturer in their current iterations.

So much hype around this one, but always your straight forward reviews yank us back from buying fever to reality. I really thought I NEEDED this one, but now I’m like, “it’s too long folded”. 😅

[@Meowcat-nx7kd]

We got this stroller and LOVE it. It’s so narrow! It’s amazing for cruises and tight spaces! We’ve used bugaboo butterfly, Uppababy minu v2, Cruz, and vista.

[@Meowcat-nx7kd]

The basket is amazzzzzing as well

[@rikifriedman1613]

How would you compare to Minu?

[@Meowcat-nx7kd]

@@rikifriedman1613 minu has a much smaller footprint when opened and folded. Hard to compare them as they are different categories. We use Minu for quick shopping trips and dragonfly for longer days where our toddler would need to nap in it for long periods

[@allison2lu]

How is this in comparison to the Cruz?

[@g.gustavo]

We were deciding between this one and the Nuna Triv Next last month and went with the Nuna, so I guess this video confirms we chose well :)

[@user-wb9un5qx7w]

Same!

[@vladkatzaero]

Regardless of which is "better", if you are happy with your purchase you obviously made the right choice :) The TRIV didn't have a bassinet in stock, so we went with the Dragonfly. We got one of the first units and we are very happy with it.

[@creativereindeer]

Thanks so much for this review! So appreciated!! Much food for thought and look forward to the q&a!! Thanks for your work on this video 😊

[@avigailgoldshmidt4618]

Can you do a new review on the butterfly? Our footrest snapped off and we’re not the only ones!😱

[@alexa3669]

They need to recall that I tried it in the shop and it nearly tipped over with my baby in it IN THE SHOP

[@cristinaverbo7401]

I wish you can give a review on Inglesina Aptica XT, on its mexhanics and overall components

[@RuiSilva450]

We are still deciding between this and Cybex Balios S Lux. Although they have very different prices I'm going to move countries within Europe and the support from bugaboo seems more certain. This review was important but wanted to check your opinion on which one of these would be the right choice.

[@KarinPlastkniv]

Same, but cyber talos s lux instead of bailos. What did you choose?

[@RuiSilva450]

@@KarinPlastkniv we ended up going for the Balios because, amongst all the other reasons, it's the only of the two that fits on the elevator where we live. Dragonfly is quite long (106cm) compared with Balios (86cm)

[@misswendywhitt]

I have the Cybex balios, i am looking to switch it out already as whilst i love the frame, the bassinet provides very little sun protection and I live in Sydney, also the handle is very thick for my smaller hands!

[@marybella4350]

Please review the easywalker Jackey XL! Im very curious about the seat on it.

[@Azkika1]

Thanks for the review! So what would you recommend getting instead in the same size category? I guess the Triv next is a option, but I think you mentioned the chassis on that one being a bit unstable, and others mentioned it’s bad turning. I love the Cruz, but not it’s 2 handed folding.

[@alienzzz229]

Also the cruz annoying thing I found was basket is accessible from the side baby isn't facings the seat is very low for such a long pram

[@songjiquan5909]

Is the Bugaboo Dragonfly compatible with the Cybex Cloud Q car seat?

[@waynesma]

nope, they only provide maxi cosi adapters

[@alexa3669]

I’m so glad I bought the bee 6… bugaboo need to test their heads with the fox 5, butterfly and this. Quality is going down hill it’s awful. I have a fox 3 and a bee 6 and love them both.

[@erinboro]

Why do you say that? I haven’t gone to test them as I’ve just started looking at strollers, but fox 5 and butterfly seem like great options for their purposes.

[@alexa3669]

@@erinboroso they’re replacing with a lot more plastic and much less quality. Since the buffalo they’re just going down. I have a fox 3 which I love but I’ve had 2 faults with the chassis within the not even a year I’ve had it. I looked at the 5 but the handle bar they redesigned to the annoying noisy rattly bar. The dragonfly has already had a recall on their seat units. They’re going on about eco and they’re anything but eco… they didn’t pick up the old chassis that I had… they use vegan leather which is way less eco friendly than leather. It should be a decision because the eco leather is awful.

[@MrChocomog]

What is the smallest parent facing pram??

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

It was the Bugaboo Ant, which is now discontinued. At this point, I'm unsure (probably something from Maxi-Cosi or Cybex, I'd guess). That's a great topic for a future video, though! :)

[@alienzzz229]

It doesn't weigh 8kg mate, you need to weigh it yourself. I weighed it in store and it was very well above 8kg. We even compared it to 8.5kg pram folded holding on either arm and it was a very huge difference when it should have felt lighter than the random pram.

[@katinkaklijn9417]

I hate this thing so much.
