r/BuyingforbabyAnyone just have a travel stroller?
7 months ago

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.

Once you get into the price range and brands you're looking at they're all very much the same. At that point it comes down to personal choice/fashion choice. I have the bugaboo :)

2 so far. Bugaboo fox 5 and butterfly 2  If I get pregnant again soon then I’ll have to get a double like a cybex gazelle or silver cross wave

r/BabyBumpsTravel stroller, is it a hype?
4 months ago

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.

r/UKParentingJoolz aer2 vs bugaboo butterfly 2 for plane travel abroad
10 months ago

I saw them both in person today and the folded bugaboo looks clunky compared to the joolz which looks so nice and neat but I’m torn because: 1. Will I be annoyed about the recline having to unzip and re zip 2. Basket size - I could easily put in a whole nappy bag into the bugaboo but really struggled with the joolz 3. I really do like the lighter weight of the joolz tho, especially living in the city where there are so many bloody stairs! So will I be annoyed at the bugaboo because it’s heavier and less portable?!

The Bugaboo Butterfly 2 due to be released September 1 is supposed to have full recline. Global got it but not America. The picture linked above is of the Butterfly 1 so depends on how soon you want it. I really like the Butterfly in store. Proper one hand and easy to maneuvre.

I’m holding out for the Butterfly 2 because of this feature. Do you think it won’t have it like the US?

Sorry - I thought you were already referring to the yet to be released one. My bad!

r/BabyBumpsandBeyondAuBugaboo Butterfly 2 or Redsbaby Skip 3? Is a "near-flat" recline actually okay for a newborn?
3 months ago

I wouldn’t get the bugaboo. It doesn’t recline much at all. I just bought it as a travel pram for my near 4 month and am going to return it for something that reclines more

r/UKParentingJoolz aer2 vs bugaboo butterfly 2 for plane travel abroad
10 months ago

I tried the butterfly 2 and joolz aer+ and thought the aer+ was better constructed. I bought the aer+, but then literally the day after taking it out, realized the bottom basket was a bit too small, and was a little annoyed by that - and ALSO found out about the joolz aer2, which hadn't been on my radar. The joolz aer2 has a larger basket, so that would've been perfect! I regret not considering the basket, and would've really preferred the aer2, but am (overall) very happy with the joolz aer+.

r/BuyingforbabyButterfly 2 or YOYO3?
6 months ago

The Yoyo has quite a complicated fold. I'm not really sure why people love them so much, I assume it gets easier? Can't really comment since I'm just researching myself, but from my personal short experience with both I much preferred the Butterfly 2

r/bigbabiesandkidsLie flat infant stroller recommendations? Ideally travel size.
9 months ago

Uppababy minu 3 and bugaboo butterfly 2 both have lie- flat positions and are small enough to be carried aboard a plane. The butterfly has a bit longer seat back & a bit more space under the canopy. In the US, the butterfly is not considered ‘from birth’ because it doesn’t have an enclosure by the legs like the minu, but in Europe and elsewhere it is. It is ‘lie-flat’ enough, just missing the enclosure. There are loads of comparisons online to compare the two - they have super similar specs :)
