A pram is one of the most important purchases for parents. The large pram market does not make the decision any easier, because there are countless models in a wide variety of designs. In this pram jungle, the question is which model meets your expectations and optimally complements your lifestyle. Bugaboo strollers have long been known for their quality and innovation. In this blog we will take a closer look at the new runabouts - Fox 5 and Dragonfly to help you decide which pram best suits your needs.
Bugaboo Fox 5 & Bugaboo Dragonfly
Which pram is right for you?
The Fox 5 is the latest version and is often referred to as the "all-in-one pram". It is designed to provide parents with the highest level of comfort and ease of use. The Fox 5 has a robust yet lightweight frame that is easy to manoeuvre and ensures a smooth ride even on uneven terrain. With its large yet compact design, it is suitable for both city walks and trips into the countryside. An outstanding feature of the Fox 5 is its reversible seat, which allows you to ride the child facing or facing you. This gives you flexibility and allows you to adapt the pram to your child's preferences and needs. In addition, the Fox 5 has adjustable suspension for a smooth ride, as well as a spacious shopping basket that offers plenty of room for baby gear.
On the other hand, we have the Bugaboo Dragonfly, which is specially designed for travel and the urban lifestyle. The Dragonfly is a perfect companion for parents who travel a lot. Despite its light weight, it still offers stability and safety. This pram offers smooth and agile manoeuvrability, ideal for tight spaces and crowded walkways. It folds easily while standing and fits easily into the boot of any car or into tight storage spaces on public transport. Although the Dragonfly is slightly less robust than the Fox 5 due to its light weight, it still offers a pleasant ride. Another outstanding feature of the Bugaboo Dragonfly is its breathable material, which allows good ventilation and keeps your passenger cool in warm weather.
Why Bugaboo Fox 5?
The Bugaboo Fox 5 is a versatile and lightweight pram that is suitable for both urban and off-road use. Here are the key features of the new Fox 5 pushchair:
- Compact and Practical: one-hand fold, one-hand extendable backrest, one-hand extendable footrest, and extendable sun canopy. One of the most practical features of the Fox 5 is its compactness. The Fox 5 offers you the possibility to fold the pushchair in two different but very practical ways. You can fold it as a whole. That means with the seat or carrycot. This way you can easily park your pushchair in the hallway or in the corner of the living room and always have it within easy reach. Or you can fold the frame and carrycot or sport seat separately. The advantage of this is that you can easily stow it in the boot of your car or even take it with you on a flight.
- Versatility: The Bugaboo Fox 5 is designed to adapt to different terrain and weather conditions. It has large, all-terrain wheels that provide a smooth ride. In addition, the pram's chassis is equipped with advanced suspension to absorb shocks and bumps.
- Reversible and tiltable seat: The pram's seat can be positioned either in the direction of travel or towards the parents, allowing you to interact with the child or let them explore the environment. The seat can also be adjusted to several positions to keep your child comfortable.
- Adjustable handlebars and large storage space: The handlebars of the Bugaboo Fox can be adjusted in height to comfortably accommodate parents of different heights. The Fox 5 also has a large storage basket under the seat to stow away essentials for outings.Ventilation system: The Fox 5's carrycot has a ventilation system that regulates your baby's natural body temperature. The breathable mattress with its innovative 3D mesh fabric also gives your little one a pleasant ride.
- Extendable footrest and sun canopy: The footrest and sun canopy can be extended by approx. 10 cm - a pram that grows with your child.
- Construction: The Bugaboo Fox 5 is a robust, versatile and durable pram that is suitable for a variety of terrains. It has a wider base and larger wheels that provide better shock absorption and a smoother ride. The Bugaboo Dragonfly, on the other hand, is a lighter pram designed for urban use. It has a slimmer design, smaller wheels and is overall more compact and manoeuvrable.
- The seat and carrycot are higher than those of the Dragonfly - so your back is optimally protected and you enjoy better eye contact with your little passenger.

Why Bugaboo Dragonfly stroller?
The Bugaboo Dragonfly - the new, modern and compact version designed primarily for use in the city. This pram shares some similarities with the Bugaboo Fox 5, but is optimised for a lighter and more streamlined experience. Here are the Bugaboo Dragonfly's key features:
- Unique folding mechanism: both pram models are relatively easy to fold and transport. However, the Bugaboo Fox 5 has a slightly more complex folding mechanism that may require some practice. The Bugaboo Dragonfly has a particularly simple and quick folding mechanism, the so-called, patented "stand-up fold", which can be operated with one hand while standing, even when the seat is still on.
- Extra sun protection: The Dragonfly has a larger, extendable sun canopy. The retractable sun canopy with SPF 50+ protects the child from sun, wind and light rain and also offers a ventilation option on warm days.
- Smooth ride: Although the Bugaboo Dragonfly is not specifically designed for off-road use like the Bugaboo Fox 5, it still offers a smooth and comfortable ride. Its small swivel wheels offer manoeuvrability in urban environments. The full suspension and new, flatter wheel design provide a smooth ride, even on rough city streets.
- Reversible and adjustable seat: Similar to the Bugaboo Fox 5, the Bugaboo Dragonfly has a reversible seat so the child can face you or the environment. The seat also offers multiple recline positions for your child's best comfort.
- Additional storage space: The shopping basket of the Bugaboo Dragonfly can be opened to provide even more space. Although the Dragonfly has an extendable push bar, it is built slightly lower than the Bugaboo Fox 5.
