Seems like noone has a priam here... and the bugaboos are always highly recommended by stores and imas here...
I will say, I love the priam style and dragonfly feels more like a travel style and I'm seriously leaning toward priam.
Yes, I'm one of those that don't want the bugaboo just "because " and I'm not interested in being like everyone else.
And, I really don't think they're as indestructible as they say - uppababy is great also...

I just got the Priam.
I was open to getting a Bugaboo, but the Dragonfly looked too much of a travel carriage for me. It has a great fold, but I didn't love the wheels and the seat, both too small.
The Priam has a good fold, not tiny, but nice for a full size carriage.
There were good sales on it for Black Friday. Try to see if you can still get it.

Thanks for your replies. I really dislike the look of the dragonfly and love the look of the priam.
Which color do you have? I love the rose gold frame and black fabric but I am worried that 2 years down the line I will be sick of it.

I was the OP of the other thread if bugaboos are really the best and it seems like I got all the "boos" for not wanting one lol

I have had bugaboo with my other kids and I was happy with it but I dislike the look of the the dragonfly. in our community Bugaboo is definitely the 'norm' but I was wondering if the priam in coming in because it was advertised in the Ami magazine

I have the Dragonfly and don't love it. I find the seat shallow, so if my baby wants to sit up and lean forward, she is almost falling out despite being strapped. I hate the angle of the safety bar, too high up and blocking baby's view. Perhaps the frame of mine is defective (store won't replace it, have to deal with bugaboo directly), but the lever to switch seat positions often jams and shifts without warning.

That's good to hear. Do you see it around in your community or are you unique? I don't see much of it where I live but I am OK being unique as long as I feel confident with it

The Bugaboo (all models) is way more popular than the Cybex, but I definitely see the Priam around, in the rose gold and also the chrome. I personally prefer the Priam, but each to her own.

If I end up getting the priam I want the rose gold frame.
I don't specificly think you'll get "bored" of the priam any more than any other stroller.
But if you think you might, then maybe just get a bunch of cheap ones...

I have the dragonfly

Pros:
Folds easily and compact - was a must for me because I have a narrow entrance
Very lightweight
Bugaboo has excellent service and the four-year warranty
Nice size bassinet
Roomy basket - although I wish the sides were a bit higher
For me it's the perfect size between a travel stroller and a full size one, especially as I said before I have a small entrance. Most people who I asked told me I should rather not get the real full size one like the fox.

Cons
Like a poster said before the seat is shallow, there's not a lot of room.
The hood it's off. Either too short, or too long.
I never tried the handlebar, I never felt the need to put it on.

Go to their site and you can input your serial number and see if you're eligible for a replacement seat. It's very easy to do and they will send it to you.

But mine jams a bit sometimes too.
