"it goes in the overhead compartment of an airplane WITHOUT removing any wheels"
"The only time the Bugaboo didn't fit in the overhead bin was on a very small regional jet, other than that it fit in there perfectly."
"wanted a pram we could take on board and keep with us from Manchester ... it has the same dimensions in case anyone challenged me on size"

"It’s also the only one I found that had a true one hand open/close."
"is really easy to fold one-handed (which is a lifesaver when juggling bags or a squirmy kid)"
"I used it many times flying solo with my little one all the way up to the gate. ... I could hold him and still fold the stroller one handed."

"Lightweight and indestructible because we travel and between me and the airlines, our gear gets treated like deep fried trash."
"Hands down we used and still use the bugaboo butterfly. ... We also like to travel and we used to travel with my daughter when she was a newborn every 2 weeks for a medical condition that required going out of state."
"Baby Jogger City Tour 2 has been in use for travel since my baby was 8 months old. She’s now 4 and we still use it. Not joking, probably 60+ flights- from beaches to cobble stones to Disney."

"huge storage basket. It’s held full grocery loads for me."
"The stroller basket is supposed to be for up to 10lbs, but I frequently put way more than 10lbs and it holds. Ive put quite a few heavy soup cans with our other groceries and my heavy purse in the basket and it’s held and doesn’t show any signs of it going out despite me constantly being way over its limit."
"it was a lifesaver being able to shove the kids, the personal items and diaper bags in one place while my husband dealt carrying the other stuff. ... just to be able to haul all my bags and car seat and still at least have one hand free if needed."

"If you have wild kids or go over not perfectly smooth sidewalks, it's not great."
"The minu is basically a janky doll stroller in comparison lol. ... I can take the vista across gravel or grass with no issue. The minu is so uncomfortable for my kid and the steering is so stiff and the wheels are tiny. I never use it and wish I hadn’t ever bought it honestly!"
"Walking around, we hit an uneven bit of pavement and it would have tipped over if I hadn’t had a good grip on it."

"any climbing can cause it to fall over backwards."
"It is very slippery, and although I am thin and not tall, I wake up minimum 10 times a night and often my body or legs ends up on the bottom of the tent because I simply fall off the pad."
"had the Nuna TRVL double stroller and it didnt handle bumps well at all. ... It actually tipped forward with our LOs in it."

"My Nordstrom rep showed me it’s top heavy with a baby in there. ... It really felt unsteady, like if you hung a heavy purse off the handle it could tip backwards."
"we had it with her car seat which is what we used in the early days (don't recommend). I dont like it at all."
"The minu v3 is technically infant compatible but I personally would not use it with an infant. ... You can’t make them parent facing and it’s not fully flat"

"And the seat doesn’t sit all the way upright so she was always slouching and looked uncomfortable."
"It’s not newborn compatible, it doesn’t recline nearly enough for that."
"less comfortable for baby (in particular the butterfly doesn’t let him sit up that straight and also doesn’t recline as far)"

"significantly lower and if you are anything north of 175 cm you will find yourself kicking the axle from time to time so you will have to walk in an uncomfortable way to make it work."
"The handlebar is also lower on the Bugaboo."
"most people much prefer the travel stroller except for my 6’3” husband (travel strollers don’t have adjustable handlebars)"
Depends on your needs. I’d consider the doona more maybe if I live in a city and would be moving from taxi/ride share to public transport to shops etc often but I don’t so I decided against it for a lot of other reasons. I have the Nuna mixx with the pipa and just got a bugaboo butterfly as a travel stroller because the mixx is great for parks, bigger events etc it’s a little bulky to travel with or throw in and out of the back of the car frequently.
r/Buyingforbaby • Doona vs Nuna Pipa + Travel stroller? ->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.
r/Buyingforbaby • Anyone just have a travel stroller? ->Doona then bugaboo here, found it easier to collapse one handed than the yoyo
r/AskSF • Parents Question --Which Stroller to buy for SF living? ->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!)
r/BabyBumps • Stroller recommendations ->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!
r/BabyBumps • Stroller recommendations ->I was about to say I love our butterfly but it def doesn’t lay flat! I wish it did!!
r/BabyBumpsandBeyondAu • Please pick one stroller👶 ->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.
r/nycparents • What collapsible travel stroller do you recommend? ->I did a side by side comparison at Nordstrom and the Bugaboo Butterfly won for several different reasons. *Straight pushbar instead of rounded *Larger bottom basket *Smoother push *Included footbar
r/Buyingforbaby • Joolz aer+ vs bugaboo butterfly ->Unbelievably good considering the size, wish I hadn't waited so long to get one!
r/Buyingforbaby • Travel Stroller - Analysis Paralysis ->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.
r/Buyingforbaby • Travel Stroller - Analysis Paralysis ->I looked at the Yoyo, the Nuna Trvl, and a few others but ultimately went with the Bugaboo Butterfly. The basket on the BB is so much larger and the fold was smaller. I'd skip the bundle with the cupholder, stroller bag, or small bag that hangs on the handlebar. The small bag is too big, the stroller bag is tough to get around it especially if you add the bumper bar, and the cup holder holds very little in a way that inspires trust. I would get the bumper bar, that was a lifesaver in being able to attach the tethers to keep him from throwing bottles or toys around the airport.
r/Buyingforbaby • Travel Stroller Recommendations For 16 Month Old ->I sold my minu v3 and bought a butterfly! The minu was creaky and got stuck closed alllll the time!
r/Buyingforbaby • Bugaboo Butterfly or Minu? ->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
r/nycparents • Lightweight stroller options ->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
r/dcl • Which travel stroller do you swear by for a Disney cruise? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
