Bugaboo Kangaroo 2-in-1 Stroller (Single Seat & Bassinet)

Babesta Pick — Best Eco-Stroller & Best Newborn Ready for Growing Families 

Bugaboo Kangaroo 2-in-1 Stroller is a single-to-double stroller that comes with both a bassinet and seat, built to grow with your family. It converts to a tandem setup with a sibling seat (sold separately) as you add a second child. It's suitable from birth to about 4 years, with a bassinet and seat that both work from day one, and a one-hand, self-standing fold for getting in and out the door.

At Babesta, we recommend the Kangaroo 2-in-1 for families who want a newborn-friendly bassinet as well as the seat, and need a stroller that will grow with their family. Keeping newborns close is a priority for many, and when in double mode, the Kangaroo's bassinet sits in the upper, primary seat position (with a newborn adapter), unlike some double-stroller systems  that place the infant seat lower, tucked beneath a toddler seat. It's the first tandem stroller built with eco-friendly materials, including recycled outer fabrics and a bio-based frame, a detail our NYC families care about.

Specifications

Best For/Not For

Best For

• Growing families who plan to add a second child: converts to a tandem stroller with a sibling seat (sold separately)

• Keeping a newborn close from day one, with a bassinet in the upper seat position in both single and double mode, suitable from birth

• Parents who want one stroller system from birth through about age 4 (max. 50 lbs)

• Environmentally conscious families: built with recycled outer fabrics, recycled aluminum, and a bio-based frame

• Rough NYC sidewalks and daily wear, given the XL wheels, full suspension, and durability testing over 4,349 miles (7,000 km)

Not Ideal for

• Parents who want the most ultra-compact single-stroller fold available: the Kangaroo is a single-to-double system, larger than a dedicated travel stroller

• Families who won't need the tandem/sibling-seat conversion and want to avoid paying for growth capacity they won't use

• Very tight elevators, hallways, or store aisles, given the larger in-use footprint of a single-to-double system

Is It Suitable for My Baby's Age?

Newborn (0–6 months)

The Kangaroo 2-in-1 is suitable from birth, using the spacious bassinet with breezy panels for breathability and visibility that close for warmth, plus the new PureBreeze™ mattress with dual sides for all-season comfort. The bassinet sits in the upper, primary seat position, keeping your newborn up close.

Infant (6–12 months)

As your baby grows, the reversible, reclinable seat with a high padded design and adjustable footrest lets them face you or the world, with a reflective five-point comfort harness.

Toddler (1–4 years)

The seat is suitable up to about 4 years with a 50 lb weight capacity, and the handlebar adjusts from 38.9 to 42.5 inches so caregivers of different heights can push comfortably as your toddler grows.

Is It Good for NYC/City Use?

The Kangaroo 2-in-1 is built to go anywhere, with XL wheels and a full suspension system that the manufacturer tested over 4,349 miles (7,000 km) of rough surfaces without significant wear and tear, which matters on NYC's cracked sidewalks and cobblestone stretches. The one-hand, self-standing fold means it stays upright on its own when you fold it at a cab door or in a cramped elevator, without needing to lean it against a wall.

Why Babesta Carries It

We carry the Bugaboo Kangaroo 2-in-1 because it's newborn ready from day one and in double mode, solves a real problem for growing families: most single-to-double strollers ask you to compromise on where the future newborn rides, and this one doesn't. When in double mode, the bassinet sits in the upper, primary seat position, so a new baby stays up close rather than tucked into a lower second seat.

It's also the first tandem stroller built with eco-friendly materials, including recycled outer fabrics, recycled aluminum, and a bio-based main frame, which is a detail more and more of our families are asking about. Between the durability testing over thousands of miles and the one-hand, self-standing fold, it's a stroller we're comfortable recommending for the long haul of NYC family life.
