Bugaboo - Butterfly 1

Doona then bugaboo here, found it easier to collapse one handed than the yoyo

Bugaboo Kangaroo is far superior to the Uppababy. We have a Silver Cross Wave but if I were to go back and do it all over again I’d get a Bugaboo all the way. We do have the Bugaboo Butterfly as our travel stroller and use that way more (fits in overhead bin on airplane!)

Have you tried both of these strollers in person? Not sure where you are located but most Nordstroms typically carry both and their baby gear experts can walk you through the differences. The quality of the bugaboo fabric & build felt better as well as suspension. The uppababy strollers I tried felt cheap in comparison. Bugaboo Butterfly is worth getting for travel alone! We started using it when our son was maybe 5 months old and that’s all we use now. We’re at Disneyland this week and have a Thule jogging stroller and the Silver Cross Wave and Bugaboo Butterfly. Brought the Butterfly on this trip and are so glad we did!

I was about to say I love our butterfly but it def doesn’t lay flat! I wish it did!!

Butterfly! We’ve legit gone down aisle on an airplane with it. People always get amazed by it. It’s super light and folds like a dream.

Unbelievably good considering the size, wish I hadn't waited so long to get one!

I hesitated buying the Bugaboo Butterfly for so long and after finally getting it, I'm kicking myself for waiting. I do wish it reclined more, but the fold and underseat basket are amazing and the ride is very smooth.

Same here! My brother lent me his Vista and we bought the Bugaboo Butterfly before our first trip. My husband hated using a stroller until he tried the Bugaboo. I’m using the Vista with my second now since he is little and the bassinet is 10/10 but I find the Vista so heavy in general and it barely fits in our car with a seat attached. I’m thinking of getting the Bugaboo attachment for my oldest so he can stand when we use the stroller once my youngest is older. We will probably also baby-wear my youngest a lot until summer comes so we’re not in a rush.

I have the butterfly and want that Aer+ 😭. True bigger basket and has sturdy feel but the Joolz is lighter by -3 or -4 lbs and I find once baby is older than 6months lighter stroller is most important

We were in the same boat last year thinking uppa baby vista v2 was the right choice until I tried it in the store. It was just way too heavy. Didn’t seem suitable for the city/subway (I wasn’t in nyc at that time but was expected to move soon) either. We then researched on the lightest strollers and ended up deciding on bugaboo butterfly and I cannot stress how happy we are with that decision. It is insanely lightweight. It’s also IATA approved which means you don’t need a secondary travel stroller for your vacations. We put it in the overhead compartment so don’t have any wear/tear from airline travel. Has a great basket for groceries/basket at the bottom and also opens and closes with one hand. I think the nuna trvl is also a great choice similar to this so you should def check these out.

Controversial opinion: don’t get 1 do it all stroller. Get several “specialty” strollers, optimized for a specific purpose and buy them used/cheap (unless you have 1 type you want to splurge on). Example: We bought a used graco click-lock that worked with his car seat. It lived in the car. We did some travel, so bought a significantly cheaper knock-off version of the Bugaboo Butterfly. Finally, we wanted a really good jogging stroller so splurged on a Bob All-terrain. Had an adapter for the car seat until he outgrew it. All three of those combined NEW (even if you max out with the BOB All-terrain Pro) come out to less than the Bugaboo Fox 5. And you may not need all of those and/or can buy in stages.

We have an uppa baby vista and a Doona. We LOVED our Doona and used it until 11/12 months (have a 99th percentile baby). we got a bugaboo butterfly for travel/quick trips.

We use a travel stroller-bugaboo butterfly. It fits in the overhead. If we’re going on a longer trip I might rent a vista on babyquip.
