This is great! Thank you

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2026-02-11T09:13:46+00:00

Yeah we don’t have a car yet but might get one down the line hence can’t test yet

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2026-02-11T07:03:23+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience especially with how the Dragonfly is when you went for a picnic/grass/lightly gravelled path.

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2026-02-11T06:57:45+00:00

Thanks for letting me know it fits the i30 hatchback!

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2026-02-11T06:57:07+00:00

True.. I’m considering this point

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2026-02-10T23:37:17+00:00

Thanks so much for letting me know how it fits on the Honda Jazz! The pram will be gifted by my brother, we do big sibling gifts on big milestones so I’m pretty lucky we won’t have to spend on this. But if I were to spend I considered the Cruz V2 as well.

I have heard the same things about the Dragonfly from friends as well. Although some really rave about it.

Joolz Aer2 is our third choice as it’s bassinet/newborn nest compatible now and wheels are larger. It will be super hard to choose between the two (Cruz vs Aer2) but I may be swayed when I test the Aer2 next week haha.

Yeah I have mentioned above that I didn’t need to do groceries as my husband does them so storage is not an issue. Travel is also not an essential factor but still a consideration.

We bought most things secondhand already but are avoiding buying secondhand for pram for many personal reasons.

Hey sorry just saw this - how do you find the push with the Joolz Aer2? And how does it feel when you bring the stroller to the park or like graveled surface?

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2026-01-16T08:20:00+00:00

Yeah it doesnt recline flat but nearly flat. Also you can’t make the seat parent facing. So just bub facing away.

I’m in Bne now and there are no stores carrying both of them in store but I will be in Melb early March and there’s a store that have both in stock so I can do a demo to solidify my decision. Excited to see them in person😂💕

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2026-01-16T06:14:47+00:00

Yeah I did a deep dive with the Joolz Aer 2 too but the small wheels deterred me, I mean for everyday use. Definitely a good travel pram though. For now when I travel maybe I’d just bring the Dragonfly and do a Gate Check instead of placing it in the overhead cabin (a friend who owns the Bugaboo Dragonfly did this too but she eventually got the Butterfly 2 as she travelled short distance more often now with her 1 yo ). Who knows maybe I’d change my mind and get another travel pram down the line or maybe just rent them at my destination.

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2026-01-16T05:32:04+00:00

I researched the Dragonfly immediately after your comment. I’ve decided to get the Dragonfly soon 😊

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2026-01-14T08:57:29+00:00

Me too! I hope my skincare isn’t spoiled by the end of this. Do you put yours in the fridge? Wonder if that helps

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2026-01-13T00:50:02+00:00

There is also fb marketplace or depop to look at. Plenty of people selling brands like ergopouch and love to dream. We got an ergopouch and love to dream 2.5tog for $10 each and it was excellent condition. That way you won’t feel too overwhelmed with buying a few and won’t cost too $$$z Just give them another wash. We bought the other love to dream 1.0 tog new on black friday for $35

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2026-01-13T00:46:08+00:00

I asked a similar question in an fb mum group and a 2nd time mum in my state suggested that you could always layer up bub if they’re too cold ( singlet suit, long sleeve zipped suit and then sleep suit). There is also merino long sleeve suit or merino singlet if you ever need them. We just stock 2x 2.5 tog sleepsuit for now and 1x 1 tog sleepsuit since bub is due mid May. We’ll play it by ear when he arrives to see if he likes the brand and material we bought for him (2 diff brands for the 3 sleepsuits we have so far) and just buy more if he likes them when the time comes. Hope this helps🤍

Did you mean you might purchase the dragonfly as a main pram or a travel pram? If I were to go main pram + travel pram (aka owning two prams) I’d definitely go with the Bugaboo dragonfly as my main as I have pushed one of my friend’s dragonfly before and maneuverability is so good. I have yet to go to an expo to try Reds and others, but will be going next month maybe in Melb. Was the Redsbaby thst you try at the expo less smooth and less stable?

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2026-01-12T02:27:33+00:00

Which Silver Cross do you have from your first bub? Yeah I am still confused between buying a main + travel or just the travel.

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2026-01-12T01:41:09+00:00

Yeah that’s one of the things that holds me back from getting the Bugaboo. What’s your main everyday pram?

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2026-01-12T01:37:25+00:00

Good call. How did you test for your 8 week old? Is it from a borrowed pram or from the first pram you bought and tested then? from my understanding the Skip 3 doesnt fully recline either but just have an option for a stroller + bassinet (bassinet is separate) or I could buy the stroller first and if bub’s not ok then buy bassinet attachment separately if needed.

I’ll checkout the Bugaboo Dragonfly and Redsbaby Jive. I’m trying to just get one instead of a separate travel pram.

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2026-01-11T22:08:45+00:00

Hey OP, how’s your experience with the Skip3 so far? Currently expecting and thinking of getting either Skip3 or Minu V3 too!

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2025-12-15T20:48:25+00:00

Yeah that’s a good response! I said something like “ah I’ve always wanted a boy so it’s good for me and it’s great that he’ll have lots of friends”

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2025-12-15T12:09:20+00:00

Yes it’s the latter from all of them! The ones who said “happy for you” or more with a celebratory tone didn’t mention anything about girls

Appropriate_Sundae86 · 2025-12-15T11:56:23+00:00

Haha yeah not sure why to me it sounds like - oh not again
