Bugaboo offers several premium strollers, but each model is designed around a different type of everyday use. Some focus on lightweight portability and travel, while others prioritize city comfort, larger wheels, expandable seating, or more room for growing families.

In this guide, Babysquare compares the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 Plus , Bugaboo Dragonfly Plus , Bugaboo Dragonfly , Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew , Bugaboo Kangaroo and Bugaboo Donkey 5.

We will look at the differences in stroller weight, newborn suitability, seating capacity, fold, storage, wheel size, suspension, and expansion options. The goal is not to decide which Bugaboo stroller is “best” overall, but which one makes the most sense for your family, lifestyle, and everyday routine.

Family Size & Newborn Suitability

One of the biggest differences between Bugaboo strollers is how each model fits into your family now — and how well it can adapt as your family grows. All six models support newborn use in some form, but their seating configurations and expansion options are very different.

The Bugaboo Butterfly 2 Plus is suitable from birth and is primarily designed as a compact single stroller. It can also accommodate an older sibling with the Bugaboo Wheeled Board, making it a practical choice for families who want maximum portability without moving into a larger multi-child stroller system.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly Plus and Bugaboo Dragonfly are also intended primarily for one child, with support for a second older child through a wheeled board. The Dragonfly Plus seat configuration can be used from birth, although a compatible infant car seat is recommended for greater newborn comfort. The bassinet-and-seat configuration provides a more complete newborn-ready setup.

The Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew follows a similar single-child approach. It is suitable from birth and can carry an older sibling using the Bugaboo Wheeled Board, but it does not convert into a true double stroller.

Families planning for a second child should pay closer attention to the Bugaboo Kangaroo . Unlike the Butterfly, Dragonfly and Fox families, the Kangaroo can expand with a sibling seat, allowing it to carry up to three children when combined with the Bugaboo Wheeled Board. This makes it a much more flexible option for a growing family.

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 goes one step further. It can convert from a single stroller into a side-by-side double and is the only stroller in this comparison specifically suitable for twins. It can also accommodate a third child with the Bugaboo Wheeled Board, making it the strongest option here for twins or families with children close in age.
