Dragonfly Plus Seat & Bassinet Stroller Complete

By Bugaboo — The Complete Newborn-to-Preschool City Stroller

The Dragonfly Plus (Seat and Bassinet) by Bugaboo is the full package: an agile, easy-to-push midsize stroller with both an ergonomic reversible seat and a full-size padded bassinet, covering your child from day one through age 4. The signature is still the patented one-hand, one-piece fold, and here's the impressive part: it folds without removing the seat or the bassinet, then stands on its own.

This is the version we recommend for expecting families. The bassinet, with its breezy panel and dual-sided PureBreeze™ mattress, gives your baby real protection during those first months on the go. Around it, everything that makes the Dragonfly Plus a city natural: full suspension, high-performance wheels for urban terrain, a swivel wheel lock for better control on public transport, and storage that actually keeps up with a New York errand day.

Specifications

Best For/Not For

Best For

•       Expecting parents who want maximum newborn protection: the full-size padded bassinet shelters baby during the first months while they're on the go

•       Small apartments and walkups: the self-standing fold stores compactly, and folds even slimmer with the bassinet on (12.6” deep) than with the seat

•       Subway and bus riders: the swivel wheel lock offers better control on public transport

•       Storage-hungry city days: 22 lb underseat basket plus a flexible bag that attaches below, hangs from the handlebar, or comes with you

•       Families who value sustainability: bio-based materials, PFAS-free fabrics, and a modular design built for repair rather than replacement

Not Ideal For

•       Airplane travel: the fold is compact for its class but not overhead-bin small, so a companion lightweight is still the move for flying

•       All-terrain routines: the suspension isn't that of a full size, so you feel the ground a bit more than with a Bugaboo Fox 5, Kangaroo, or Donkey

•       Families who only need the seat: the Dragonfly Plus is also available in a Seat Only version, since the reversible seat lays flat and is suitable from birth on its own

Is It Suitable for My Baby's Age?

Newborn (0–6 months)

Yes, and this is where this version shines. The full-size padded bassinet with breezy panel and dual-sided PureBreeze™ mattress (firmer foam, enhanced breathability, summer and winter sides) protects baby during the first months, and holds up to 20 lbs. An infant car seat can also be attached with the included adapters.

Infant (6–12 months)

Once baby outgrows the bassinet, switch to the ergonomic reversible seat: parent-facing or world-facing, upright or fully flat, with a one-hand recline. The fully extendable UPF 50+ canopy with pop-out visor and peek-a-boo panel keeps them covered.

Toddler (1–4 years)

Strong through preschool. The seat holds up to 50 lbs with a roomy 22.8” × 11.8” seating area, a rotating bumper bar for an extra layer of protection, and a handlebar that adjusts from 39” to 41.3” with one hand.

Is It Good for NYC / City Use?

Very. This is an agile, easy-to-push single stroller built for city living. The fold is the magic: one hand, one piece, with the seat or bassinet still attached, and it self-stands in a hallway or cab line. With the bassinet on, it actually folds slimmer than with the seat, at just 12.6” deep. An integrated carry strap allows 100% hands-free carrying, which anyone who has hauled a stroller up subway stairs will appreciate, and the swivel wheel lock adds control when boarding a bus or crossing a rough platform.

Within the Bugaboo lineup, it sits between the ultra-compacts and the full-size strollers. The Bugaboo Fox 5, Kangaroo, and Donkey have bigger wheels and more robust suspension, so this one lets you feel the ground a bit more. In exchange you get a stroller that's never too big or overwhelming, with a real bassinet included, something the true travel lightweights can't offer. It won't fold small enough for an airplane overhead compartment, so we still like a companion lightweight for travel.

Why Babesta Carries It

We like this stroller for its easy push and its amazing, genuinely compact fold. In a city where the stroller lives by the front door (or in the trunk of a cab, or at the bottom of a brownstone stairwell), a one-hand fold that keeps the seat or bassinet attached and then stands on its own is a daily quality-of-life upgrade. The storage story is just as good: the underseat basket plus the additional bag that attaches below, hangs from the bar, or comes with you when you hop out.

The bassinet is what makes this the version we steer expecting families toward. It protects your baby during those first months on the go in a way a lay-flat seat alone can't match. And we love the sustainability: bio-based materials, PFAS-free water-repellent fabrics, vegan leather grips, and a modular design that supports repairs and refurbishment. One honest note: the suspension isn't that of a full size. This is a very easy to push, agile single stroller built for city living, and that's exactly the job it was chosen for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Dragonfly Plus (Seat and Bassinet) be used from birth?

Yes. The full-size padded bassinet makes it newborn-ready from day one, with a breezy panel and a dual-sided PureBreeze™ mattress for summer and winter. The bassinet holds up to 20 lbs, and the stroller overall covers ages 0 to 4 years (max. 50 lbs).

Does the stroller fold with the bassinet attached?

Yes. The patented one-hand compact fold works without removing the seat or the bassinet. Folded with the bassinet, it measures 12.6” × 20.5” × 35.4”; folded with the seat, 14.2” × 20.5” × 35.4”. Either way it self-stands for easy storage in small spaces.

Are car seat adapters included?

Yes, car seat adapters come in the box. They're compatible with the Bugaboo Turtle Air Shield by Nuna and many infant car seats; check the car seat adapters page for a full compatibility list.

When should my baby move from the bassinet to the seat?

The bassinet holds up to 20 lbs and is designed for the first months. When your baby is ready, the ergonomic reversible seat takes over, and it lays fully flat for continued comfort. Wheel into Babesta and we'll swap the bassinet for the seat for you as part of our free in-store assembly service.

Will it fit in an airplane overhead compartment?

No. The fold is compact for its class, but it does not fold small enough for airplane overhead compartments. Many families pair it with a companion lightweight travel stroller for flying.

Is it good for the subway?

Yes. The swivel wheel lock offers better control on public transport, full suspension smooths rough pavement and platform gaps, and the integrated carry strap allows 100% hands-free carrying on stairs.

How much can it carry?

The seat holds a child up to 50 lbs and the bassinet up to 20 lbs. The underseat basket holds up to 22 lbs, and the flexible rear bag holds 5.5 lbs when placed on the handlebar.

What's the difference between the Seat and Bassinet and Seat Only versions?

Both versions of the Dragonfly Plus are suitable from 0+. The Seat Only version relies on the lay-flat reversible seat for newborns, while this version adds a full-size padded bassinet, which we like for the extra protection it offers while baby is little. Both fold one-handed with the seat or bassinet still attached.

Is it sustainably made?

Yes. It's crafted with bio-based material, uses durable, water-repellent, PFAS-free fabrics and 100% vegan leather handlebar grips, and has a CO2 footprint reduced by 3% compared to the Bugaboo Dragonfly. Its modular design supports repairs and refurbishment, and it's been tested over 2,485 miles without significant wear and tear.

How do I clean it?

Mattress foam, the underseat basket, and the leather-look grips should be cleaned with a damp cloth. All other fabrics are machine-washable at 86°F. Always consult the washing label for exact instructions.

Can I try it in person at Babesta?

Yes. Visit us at 56 Warren Street in Tribeca and test drive it with a weighted test baby, outside on real sidewalk, so you can feel curbs and uneven terrain before you decide.

Can I add it to my baby registry?

Yes. Create a registry with Babesta and you automatically get all of our services plus a registry close-out discount. Our links can also be added to Babylist; just let us know you've added us and we'll apply our services.
