The Big 3 Absolute essentials: travel, sleep, carrying
Bugaboo Dragonfly
Why it’s for you: Built for city life. One-hand fold, slips through shop doorways, steers brilliantly. Note: a 2024 CPSC recall affected some early 2023 units. Current retail stock is unaffected.
SnüzPod5 Bedside Crib
Why it’s for you: Wheels for moving between rooms, dual-view mesh panels for better airflow, and a half-height wall that makes nighttime reaching easier.
Joie i-Spin 360
Why it’s for you: 360-degree swivel is a game changer in small cars and tight parking spaces. Face baby toward the door, no contortions required.
