Just buy this one [https://www.albeebaby.com/products/bugaboo-open-box-butterfly-complete-compact-stroller-black-midnight-black](https://www.albeebaby.com/products/bugaboo-open-box-butterfly-complete-compact-stroller-black-midnight-black) I love my Minu but the Butterfly is awesome, and 370 is a good price for the V1. The $600 V2 adds some stuff but the V1 is at the core the same stroller

I second this! We have a small apt so we use the butterfly as our main and travel stroller and we really like it. You can steer it with one hand and I can open and close the stroller with one hand.

We have a foldable travel stroller which has been amazing, it can fit in overhead compartments on planes. It’s about 13 lbs and take up very little space. It helps not only on the ship (I would say we used it only 1/3 of the time on the ship) but if you get off at ports or the private islands and also for navigating the airport and anywhere else we went (like Disney parks and Disney Springs). We have the Nuna butterfly, there are other brands that have similar models.

I have the gen 1 butterfly and it's been awesome. It's been all over the world and on the Treasure twice. I like that it has real usable storage underneath and lays down flat enough for a nap. My only complaint is that it doesn't lay completely flat but that's not a dealbreaker for me.

We have a butterfly 1 and although it’s light and compact, it’s annoying on uneven roads like cobblestones. I think an investment like this is worth trying out in a bigger baby store, if you have one nearby?

I’ll say Bugaboo Butterfly 1 (but use) or Minu 2. The Butterfly 2 lost a bit of its back height and leg length; I was very disappointed. I ended up going with the Minu 2, as it’s newborn ready and we’re planning for a serving kid. The Joolz Aer lost points for me with the small under basket. I also didn’t like that the mechanics for lowering the back is a zipper. I’m surprised so many people have the yo-yo. It felt the most unstable when doing quick turns. The fold requires 2 hands and a bit of maneuvering compared to the Butterfly abs Minu
