Bugaboo - Butterfly Series

I love my bugaboo butterfly

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 just got a bugaboo butterfly off marketplace and that thing is SO good. One handed fold up/down and it’s so light!

So I went to the store, set on buying either the butterfly, the yoyo or the minu. Once I saw the products I was somewhat disappointed and bought a regular stroller with fantastic wheels and springs. Great canopy and other useful and comfortable features. We also planned to travel a lot which is why we thought about the one and done travel stroller, but to put in perspective, we go out for walks twice a day. And that's not counting the days we actually have destinations to go to. I cannot imagine going through all the terrain we did with just a travel stroller. My vote is to get a regular stroller, and then look for a travel stroller second hand. (Well actually if you find a good deal, a second hand main stroller is fine too). What I would not cut the budget on is the car seat, get that new.

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!!

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

How big are the kids? We love our Bugaboo Butterfly for all travel. Its super lightweight, folds up tiny (fits under the cabin beds or in the closet) and I can maneuver it one handed pretty easily. It's good up to 50lbs

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.
