Introducing the New Bugaboo Dragonfly: Why We Love It
ANB Baby is thrilled to present the Bugaboo Dragonfly! The Bugaboo Dragonfly is an incredibly impressive stroller, offering the perfect mid-size choice for those seeking more than the Butterfly. It features sturdy, larger wheels and excellent maneuverability, making it ideal for tackling challenging hiking trails, concrete, or asphalt. While not as bulky and heavy-duty as the Lynx, Fox, or Donkey, the Dragonfly strikes a perfect balance. And the best part is that it includes a bassinet, allowing you to start using it right from the moment your baby arrives!

The Bugaboo Dragonfly: An Amazing Compact Stroller With a Bassinet!
One of the most remarkable features of the Bugaboo Dragonfly is its fantastic bassinet can actually fold together with the stroller! This means you won't have to deal with any complicated maneuvers or hassle, which is truly amazing for busy parents. The stroller conveniently folds while keeping the seat in either the rear-facing or forward-facing position. Moreover, you can easily remove the bassinet with just one hand while securely holding your baby with the other. (Please note that currently, the only option to purchase the bassinet is by ordering it together with the stroller.)

Lightweight and Plenty of Storage: Bugaboo Dragonfly Is Perfect for Everyday Use in the City
The Bugaboo Dragonfly provides generous storage capacity to keep your essentials within reach. It features an extra-large storage basket capable of accommodating up to 22 pounds of belongings. Additionally, there is an expandable pocket that can be conveniently placed at the front, rear, or handlebar of the stroller. Weighing just 17.4 pounds, it offers a lightweight alternative compared to the 22.9-pound Bugaboo Fox and the 16.1-pound Butterfly. If you want a stroller that’s not overly heavy but still offers the advantages of a full-size stroller, the Bugaboo Dragonfly is the perfect intermediate choice, delivering the best of both worlds!
Excellent Maneuverability: Bugaboo Dragonfly Is Easy to Use
The Bugaboo Dragonfly boasts standout features that truly set it apart. Its high-performance wheels and advanced suspension system work in perfect harmony to ensure a remarkably smooth ride for your baby, regardless of the terrain you're navigating. This makes the Dragonfly an excellent choice for both urban explorations and outdoor adventures. With its exceptional capabilities, the Dragonfly effortlessly handles various surfaces, including gravel, grass, and city sidewalks.
The Bugaboo Dragonfly offers an effortless pushing experience, thanks to its advanced suspension and high-performance wheels. Maneuvering this nimble stroller is a cinch. Moreover, it features a practical and convenient carry strap for easy transport. The Dragonfly also stands out with its unique one-hand, self-standing compact fold, adding to its user-friendly design. Another bonus? The Bugaboo Dragonfly can be used with the Bugaboo Comfort Wheeled Board +. There's no need to purchase a new board specifically for this stroller!
Chic, Stylish, and Easy to Clean: The Bugaboo Dragonfly Is a Beauty!
In addition to its existing canopy color options, the Bugaboo Dragonfly introduces a stunning new addition: Sky Blue. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is also offered in several other delightful colors, providing a diverse selection to suit different preferences.
The soft, durable Bugaboo Dragonfly fabrics are finished with an eco-friendly water-repellent coating. That makes them easy to keep clean! We also love that all fabrics on this stroller are machine washable in warm water (86°F). To clean the chassis, use a soft towel and lukewarm water, then wipe off any remaining water with a dry cloth. Use a soft brush to clean sand and dirt from the mechanisms and sliding tubes of the chassis, and take care to brush away from any sliding joints. For the wheel, use a brush and water to remove dirt gently. Bugaboo also recommends periodically removing the wheels from the chassis and brushing off any dirt or sand in the inside axle of the wheel.
Can Bugaboo Dragonfly Go on an Airplane?
City strollers like the Bugaboo Dragonfly are perfect for everyday urban use, offering durability and easy maneuverability through crowded streets. They provide built-in comfort for both parent and child. On the other hand, travel strollers such as the Bugaboo Butterfly are designed for easy transport and portability, folding up compactly for car, train, or plane travel. Having both types of strollers offers urban parents the flexibility to handle daily errands and travel with ease.
Most airlines allow you to push your Bugaboo stroller to the gate, where you can fold it into a compact size for the flight. (The Dragonfly's folded size with seat is 14.2" x 20.5" x 35".) The airline staff will store the stroller in the luggage compartment and return it to you when you land. Bugaboo recommends using a transport bag for extra protection and checking the stroller as odd size luggage to minimize the risk of damage. Contact your airline for specific details. Note that the warranty does not cover damage during air travel.

With its reliable large wheels and comfortable reversible seat for your baby, it combines practicality and style seamlessly.
