Bugaboo makes several premium strollers, but the best one for your family depends less on which model is “best” and more on how you plan to use it. The Butterfly, Dragonfly and Kangaroo each solve a different problem.
Quick answer
Choose the Bugaboo Butterfly if compact travel and an easy-to-carry stroller are your priorities. Choose the Bugaboo Dragonfly if you want a more substantial everyday stroller that still stores compactly. Choose the Bugaboo Kangaroo if you want a stroller that can adapt as your family grows and potentially carry two children.
Bugaboo Butterfly: best for travel and compact convenience
The Butterfly is the most travel-focused choice in this group. Its compact design makes it especially appealing for families who fly, use public transportation, have limited trunk space or simply want a stroller that is easy to grab for quick outings.
The tradeoff is straightforward: a compact travel stroller is designed around portability rather than the expanded configurations and larger footprint of a full-featured everyday stroller.
Bugaboo Dragonfly: best everyday compact stroller
The Dragonfly sits between an ultra-compact travel stroller and a larger full-size stroller. It is a strong fit for families who want everyday comfort and storage without giving up a relatively compact fold.
For apartment living, city errands and families who regularly move a stroller in and out of a vehicle, that balance can make the Dragonfly the sweet spot.
Bugaboo Kangaroo: best for a growing family
The Kangaroo is the most expandable option of the three. Its biggest advantage is flexibility: families can begin with a single-stroller setup and configure the stroller for an additional child when needed.
That makes the Kangaroo particularly compelling for parents planning for siblings close in age or anyone who wants to avoid replacing a single stroller later with a double.

Build the right Bugaboo setup
After choosing your stroller, consider how you will use it during the newborn stage, for travel and with an infant car seat. Bugaboo accessories, bassinets and adapters can change what each stroller can do, so compatibility matters as much as the stroller itself.
