First things first, let's talk about what makes the Kangaroo so special.  

This is a stroller that grows with your family. Starting as a sleek single stroller, it cleverly transforms into a double when needed. It's like having a stroller with a built-in expansion pack! 

This front-to-back inline design is a first for Bugaboo and it's causing quite a buzz! Why? Because it solves the age-old problem of maneuvering bulky side-by-side double strollers through narrow doorways and crowded spaces. At just 24.4 inches wide, the Kangaroo hops through standard doorways with ease, making it a dream for city dwellers and suburbanites alike. 

Newborn-Friendly: For the tiniest travellers, the Kangaroo Stroller comes with a spacious bassinet. Featuring open and closable breezy panels and a PureBreeze™ mattress with antibacterial technology, it's like a mobile, five-star hotel room for your newborn! 

Room for More: Bugaboo also includes an ergonomic padded toddler seat that can carry up to 50 lbs and can be positioned in both world-facing and parent-facing modes. It features a super-soft 5-point harness with reflective lines for better visibility at night and is made from durable, machine-washable fabrics. 

Using the bassinet and seat simultaneously means your toddler and newborn can both ride comfortably at the same time! 

Once your second child outgrows the bassinet (around 6 months of age), simply pick up Bugaboo’s Sibling Seat and it’s smooth sailing for years to come.

Hot Features

Now, let's dive into the juicy details that'll have you counting down the days until you get your Kangaroo: 

One-Handed Wonder: The Kangaroo allows you to fold, adjust, and maneuver it with just one hand. For multitasking parents, holding your toddler (or latte) while gracefully unfolding your stroller is now easier than ever! 

XL Wheels and Suspension: Cobblestone streets? Bumpy park paths? No problem! The Kangaroo's XL 8.5-inch and 12-inch puncture-proof wheels and optimal front-wheel suspension system promise a smooth ride for your little ones, whether you're navigating urban jungles or actual ones. 

Basket Case: For storage needs, the XL under seat basket holds a whopping 28.6 lbs. That's enough for a diaper bag, groceries, and maybe even that impulse buy from the baby boutique (we've all been there)! Plus, there are 4 pockets to stow away belongings out of sight. 

Adjustable Comfort: The Kangaroo’s high padded seat has a 3-position recline and an adjustable footrest that grows with your child, ensuring comfort from babyhood to toddlerhood. For parents, there’s a telescopic handlebar that adjusts to different heights with one hand. 

Sun Smart: An extra-large, extendable UPF+50 sun canopy keeps your little ones shaded, whether they're snoozing or sightseeing. We also love how it includes a breezy peek-a-boo panel that provides excellent airflow and how the canopy is height-adjustable to accommodate growing kiddos.  

Car Seat Compatibility: With the right adapters, you can turn the Kangaroo into a travel system by attaching a compatible infant car seat to the frame. This makes the transition from car to stroller seamless, because we all know how precious those moments of uninterrupted baby sleep are!

Compatible Seats (with adaptor) Include: 
Nuna Pipa 
Nuna Pipa Lite 
Clek Liing 
Cybex Aton 2 
Maxi-Cosi Mico 30 
Maxi-Cosi Mico XP Max 
Maxi-Cosi Coral XP 
Britax Willow S 

Compact Fold: The compact self-standing fold makes storage a cinch. Plus, the Kangaroo can be folded as a one-piece with the seat or pram or as a two-piece compact fold for transport in tight spaces. 

Configuration King: When combined with a car seat, Sibling Seat, upper newborn adapter, and Bugaboo’s Comfort Wheeled Board, the Kangaroo offers over 20 configurations!

Hopping Towards a Greener Future 

In today's world, being a conscious consumer is more important than ever. Bugaboo gets it, and they've packed the Kangaroo with eco-friendly features that'll make you feel good about your purchase: 

  • Built to Last: Tested beyond industry standards, this stroller is designed to be your family's trusty companion for years to come. 
  • Bio-Based Materials: With a focus on reducing environmental impact, Bugaboo has incorporated bio-based materials in the Kangaroo's construction. 
  • Carbon Footprint Reduction: The total CO2 footprint of 273 lbs. (124 kg) represents a 16% reduction to date. That's like planting a little tree with every stroller! 
  • Vegetarian Leather: The handlebar grips are 100% vegetarian leather. Stylish and animal-friendly? Win-win! 
  • Ethical Production: The Kangaroo is made in Bugaboo's own Xiamen factory under safe and fair conditions, so you can feel good about the hands that crafted your stroller. 
  • Modular Design: If repairs or refurbishment are needed, the modular design makes it easier to keep your Kangaroo hopping for longer.  
  • Eco-Friendly Shipping: Even the journey from the factory to your doorstep is green, with biofuels used for shipping. 
     

How Does the Kangaroo Stack Up? 

You might be wondering how the Kangaroo compares to other popular strollers. Let's take a quick hop through the competition: 

  • vs. UPPAbaby Vista V2: While both convert from single to double, the Kangaroo's narrower frame gives it an edge in tight spaces. 
  • vs. Bugaboo Fox 5: The Kangaroo takes the Fox 5's stellar single-stroller design and adds the flexibility to accommodate a growing family. 
  • vs. Bugaboo Donkey 5: The Kangaroo's inline design makes it nimbler in urban environments compared to the Donkey's side-by-side setup. 
     

A Triple Threat 

Here's where things get really exciting.  
 
As previously mentioned, the Kangaroo supports the Comfort Wheeled Board — transforming it into a triple stroller! You can now push your infant and toddler while your preschooler rides along on the wheeled board.
