"It’s also the only one I found that had a true one hand open/close."
"Bugaboo has been great the one hand fold is brilliant for that last minute toddler pick up and fold."
"has a one-move open unlike the yoyo"

"And the wheels are pretty durable/ sturdy on the streets including the cobble stones in my neighborhood"
"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."

"It immediately became clear that Bugaboo’s product was far superior when it came to shocks/ensuring a smooth ride."
"The wheels aren't huge but I used it on cobbles in Spain and it was fine 😊"

"Edited to add that we used it on several flights and it’s been a dream. We put it in the overhead (American Air) for one of the flights and had no issues."
"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."

"the criticisms about being a rough ride on uneven terrain are 100% warranted though because of the wheel size"
"Travel strollers usually don’t have the suspension or wheel size you’d want to navigate rough terrain. ... We have the bugaboo butterfly for a travel stroller which is pretty similar to the Aer. It would be miserable or impossible to use on cobblestone."
"What both the bugaboo and the Joolz is NOT good for is the rough terrain of Central Park. ... We tried it and it was terrible. ... A lot of the Central Park winding paths have bumpy roads because of the large tree roots so it was such a pain to maneuver."

"It’s not newborn compatible, it doesn’t recline nearly enough for that."
"I would say it's better for babies that are more upright, cuz it doesn't fully fold back"
"less comfortable for baby (in particular the butterfly doesn’t let him sit up that straight and also doesn’t recline as far)"

"Stormy blue has faded so so badly with only 2 weeks of use on two sun holidays! ... Really surprised and shocked at how much it has."
"We did note the one in store had quite pulled fabric as you mentioned"
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 ->Doona for travel/errands until they size out, then bugaboo butterfly for travel. Uppababy vista for every day.
r/NewParents • What's the best stroller you've used? ->We have an uppa baby vista and a Doona. We LOVED our Doona and used it until 11/12 months (have a 99th percentile baby). we got a bugaboo butterfly for travel/quick trips.
r/NewParents • What kind of/how many strollers do people have? ->We use a travel stroller-bugaboo butterfly. It fits in the overhead. If we’re going on a longer trip I might rent a vista on babyquip.
r/Parenting • Turns 3 in two months - do you air travel with a stroller? ->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 :)
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Stroller Choice is Overwhelming - would LOVE some guidance on a FTM stroller for urban areas [qc] ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
