Bugaboo Stardust is built around speed. Bugaboo describes a one-piece design that opens and folds in one second with the mattress attached, so there is nothing to assemble or lay in afterward. A zip-in bassinet brings a newborn closer, and Bugaboo rates it up to 19.8 lb or 35 in long; the play yard holds up to 33 lb, the highest limit on this list. The crib weighs 16.7 lb and folds to 25 x 5.5 x 33.8 in, which is slim for a model with a built-in thick mattress, and a travel bag with a Velcro closing is included. Stability feet and a bassinet buckle add security. The age range is 0 to 2 years. The outer fabric wipes clean with a damp cloth and the mattress can be washed at 86°F. At $349.00 it costs $119 more than the BabyBjörn, which lowers its value score. We compared documented features and published prices.
