Got the Nuna Triv next because it was supposed to be lightweight without compromising features. I hated it. Hate the fold. Hate that it doesn’t stay folded/flops open all the time. Hate the stupid buckles that always get twisted. It was heavy/bulky to me. Getting it in and out of my car just pissed me off. Got the butterfly 2 and am so much happier. Is it as smooth as ride as the triv? Nope but my baby could not care less. If you value easy, one handed fold and a lightweight, well-thought out design (the buckles are so much easier!) get the butterfly.

We also started with the Graco prammette, but recently upgraded to the Bugaboo Butterfly 2. The bassinet feature was AMAZING when he was tiny since we live in a very urban area and do lots of walking. Though agreed, it’s a little wobbly depending on how you position them in it. However, our kiddo is big (95+ percentile) and very quickly outgrew the bassinet weight limit (around 3 months) and now even the normal stroller seat is too small for his booty/thighs (he’s not even 5 months 😅). The Bugaboo is miles above and beyond the Graco. It’s ridiculous. It’s so much more smooth, significantly lighter for carrying down our rowhouse steps, and he fits so well in it/seems so much more comfortable. In hindsight, I probably would have opted for the Bugaboo system with the bassinet, but we still get good mileage from the Graco since it clicks in with his car seat (we now just leave it in the car for dr appts).

I bought the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 and just wanted to say that the recline is not the same in the US/Canada version as it is for the international one. Only relevant if your baby is younger than 3-4 months I guess. I purposely bought the international version to be able to use with a newborn soon.

I have the bugaboo butterfly as our travel stroller and I’m obsessed with it. The ONLY thing is that I like having a stroller that I can pop my car seat into which you cannot do with the butterfly which is why it’s more of a secondary stroller for us right now

Not gonna lie I 100% thought there weren’t adapters or anything for it lol. But either way, the butterfly is a great choice. AND they’re currently $90 off so you really can’t go wrong

We just got one for my very tall 2 year old. The longest we found were the ICandy PIP and the Bugaboo Butterfly 2, we went for the Bugaboo and she can lay down comfortably in it. You can also pack it away in the overhead lockers on a flight, the only con is it was pretty pricey.
