Bugaboo - Dragonfly

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.

I use it with Bugaboo Dragonfly and love the combo

I’m in Toronto (east of DVP) and I have the Bugaboo Dragonfly. My son in 4 month and we’ve used the bassinet attachment for every walk - he pretty much falls asleep every time. I got the bassinet used (but practically brand new) on fb marketplace, and I didn’t know if it would be worth it, but it has been great for long walks and getting him to nap consistently. It’s working well now for the colder days too because it keeps him out of the wind a little bit better. Definitely look for a bassinet attachment of whatever stroller you go with used, because a lot of people don’t end up using theirs at all or their baby grows out of it quickly. Otherwise I chose not to go with the uppababy because it’s too big and bulky. I use public transit and wanted to be able to maneuver a little easier. The dragonfly is a little bit narrower and has a one-handed fold function. Going to a store to try some strollers out is the best way to figure out what you like the best. Love Me Do Baby is a good one on queen east to try out some different options.

We got the Bugaboo Dragonfly as it’s small & light enough to be portable - it’s a genuine single-handed open & close buggy - but still big enough to be able to deal with pretty much all urban environments (apart from heavy off-road terrain) & have decent storage capacity. We keep ours in our car & take it on holiday with us. Whilst it’s not small enough to go in the overhead, it does fold down small enough to be easily gate-checked. It’s also light enough that I can carry my child in the buggy up & down steps when there’s no step-free access. The Dragonfly sits somewhere between the Yoyo & the Fox 5 and meant we didn’t have to get 2 different buggies. What we found with some of our friends who got the Yoyo was that there’s not much storage & the babies seemed to quickly grow out of it (or at least get to the point where it didn’t seem as comfortable), so they ended up getting a 2nd buggy. The base unit is on Black Friday sale now so only about £590 (not including bassinet or other accessories) in most places.

I like the bugaboo dragonfly. It folds up tiny in the boot (trunk?) of the car, but when it’s unfolded it’s pretty well sized. The bassinet folds up too which is licensed baby is little, and it’s safe for overnight sleep. This makes going away for the weekend or whatever easy as you only need the bassinet when they are little. It’s more suited for city walks so if you’re going be on uneven terrain perhaps something else would be better. For the hardest we have a Cybex cloud t, as it was the safest compatible with our car. I found visiting a store to try out pushchairs and car seats really helpful. My priority was an easy fold and reasonably lightweight to get in and out of the boot

Bugaboo dragonfly. Bassinet and seat fold into the stroller so takes up less space leaving more room for luggage in the trunk

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

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

We got the bugaboo dragonfly with the clek liing car seat- lightweight, small and folds with the bassinet attached. Car seat is very safe, fits into my small car and lightweight.

We are happy with what we got. We have the bugaboo dragonfly. It's expensive but it's exactly what we wanted. It's narrow (narrower than it looks actually) so we can fit almost anywhere which is important cause we have narrow sidewalks that are often full of parked bikes. It has decent suspension which is good for the worse sidewalks here. It folds up for storing easily (I can do it with one hand). The push bar is very adjustable, so can be made short for elevators or tight spaces or very long and tall for my husband. And it pushes super easily, even with one hand, so easy to use even with the dog. The downside is that it is super heavy and doesn't fold all that small. So we don't usually bring it when we go anywhere by car. Instead we just got a second hand yoyo which we will use for this purpose and for when we travel by plane. YouTube was a useful resource to help us figure out what we were looking for in a stroller and once we knew, 20 min in the store trying different strollers and asking the sales agent questions settled it for us. For what it's worth it really was by far the most time I spent researching a purchase.

Dragonfly with a bassinet is a good compromise while still keeping it compact, light and one hand folding.

The bugaboo dragonfly with the Nuna car seat sounds perfect for you! We have the peg perego z4 which we really like too it’s less bulky than a lot of the popular strollers but may still be a little bigger than what you are looking for.

I think the Fox or Uppa Baby Vista probably makes sense as it sounds like you’re in the London suburbs rather than Zone 1 or 2. We live in the Home Counties and our Bugaboo Fox was barely used as it can’t cope with wet and muddy ground and we found it a bit too big around town. We ended up with a Joolz Aer and a proper outdoor buggy (Out n About). I really like the look of the Bugaboo Dragonfly as one of the downsides of the Joolz Aer/Butterfly/Yoyo is that you have to forward face as soon as they’re ready for the seat. The Dragonfly allows for a parent facing seat. Not all kids are ready to face forward at 6m as it can be sensory overload. Just as a word of warning, most luxury “all terrain” buggies won’t with go in the woods in anything other than dry summer weather. Once there’s a bit of mud on the ground, mud gets stuck in the wheel covers and you will spend half your time fishing it out with a stick.

I have the bugaboo dragonfly and its been great. I did get the whole package with bassinet because I was having a winter baby and the bassinet is fleeced lined so it kept bubs lovely and warm. Im not a fan of the nuna turtle capsule because bubs chin was on his chest alot and would keep drives short and didn't really use it outside of the car. But I love everything about the dragonfly. The extended sun canopy is great for naps and the sun. I have the parasol attachment and its been so handy for going on walks in the sun and you just have to get used to changing its direction to block the sun from bubs legs. The wheels are great and durable, it has a great turning circle and can be manoeuvred with one hand whilst shopping. It has the larger wheels at the back to help with going up and down the gutters and steps. I dont like the idea of a travel pram and the tiny wheels getting stuck in cracks too easily.. The shopping basket is bigger than most and it holds alot of groceries. But its easier to use when bubs is facing you in the seat whereas when you have bubs seat facing out it blocks the gap a little bit and you have to lift bubs legs up to get to the basket better or just put the groceries in through the side. Cup holder attachment is great too but just have to be careful of careless people walking too close to the side of the pram and knocking it. It is a little heavier than travel prams and that was a bit hard during my c section recovery. I couldn't get it in and out of the car for the first 8 weeks myself. But otherwise during that time I lived on the first floor and would take bubs out with him in the bassinet first and settle him inside and then I would go back to the frame and collapse it down (its a one handed collapse which is great for a wriggly toddler) and then slowly wheel it up one step at a time by keeping the brake off and that makes it so much lighter. If i had my time over again the only other pram I would consider would be the britax flylite travel system including a maxi cosi capsule with the attachments. All my friend dont like their uppababy's or redsbaby's. Which is why I went the bugaboo dragonfly because I wanted an in between a fuller pram and a travel pram.
