BugabooButterfly - 1 Second Fold Ultra-Compact Stroller - Lightweight & Compact - Great for Travel - Forest Green

We use our Uppababy Cruz V2 as our regular stroller, but we love this Buggaboo Butterfly! The size is amazing and fits compactly in the trunk of our CR-V, so we just keep it there for unplanned shopping trips and such.The ride is smooth and it's comfortable to push for my husband (6'0") and I (5'8"). The wheel base is a little narrow in the back, but that's what makes it so compact when folded. I could see how it would be easy to tip, but you just have to be careful and not make sudden tight turns. We loop our hands through the safety strap when pushing on hills or in busy areas.We really like the buckle and the fact that they kind of spring away from the seat, which makes it easy to buckle in a wiggly toddler. I also like that each strap buckles on it's own.I thought I wouldn't like the lack of a true peekaboo window on the canopy, but I actually don't mind it at all. If I want to see my daughter, I just unzip the expander and look at her through the mesh panel.I like the reclining mechanism of the stroller seat, and my favorite thing about it is how tall the seat back is! Our toddler is tall for her age and so many other travel strollers have seat backs that looked uncomfortable for her. This one works really well for her! The footrest is also really nice to have so she can prop up her tired legs.I can't bring myself to pay $39 for a cupholder, but I do like the bumper bar accessory. It also comes with a rain cover, which is nice for those of us in the PNW.I would highly recommend this for those looking for a compact but high-end stroller. We're looking forward to using it for plane travel soon.

The short take: backboard is 22 inches, good for taller kids. Easy to fold and is compact. Cushion is better than others in this class. The only negative is the calf support-which I find to be odd and lacking cushion. I bought an aftermarket cushion that attaches perfectly-I just searched butterfly leg cushion and it came up. With the cushion attached it’s pretty close to perfect. I purchased the Butterfly carrying case backpack to protect it when we gate check it-I would have liked a travel bag included at this price point but even without that bonus it’s worth it.Let me save you the time and hassle of ordering a ton of others to try like I did:Runner up cheaper option: mompush lithe V2. I liked it, the backboard was nice and tall, no real negatives but I just preferred the sleek look and size of the Bugaboo (bc of course I did, for 4x the price). If I didn’t like the Bugaboo I would have gone with this one. However the cushion wasn’t as thick or soft as the more expensive options.Others I did not like: uppababy minu, baby jogger eco 2 and ergobaby metro. All three of these did not have a tall enough back for my toddler. His head was dangling off the back or nearly was-which isn’t great bc he likes to relax in his stroller. They had decent cushions and everything else was ok-of these I liked the baby jogger best but a short back doesn’t work for us!Super glad I went with the Butterfly!

Just got my Bugaboo butterfly yesterday and was so excited to get it set up and start using it. We have a big bulky stroller and living in Brooklyn and having to deal with any type of stairs is just a huge issue. I really wanted a lightweight stroller but we do t have much space so when I saw the butterfly and how small it collapsed I immediate had to get it.I must say, It’s so easy to set up and break down! It is just as easy as all of the videos I saw online. Sometimes I see a video and think that looks easy…until I use it when I’m left wondering how in the world something works. It opens, locks, and collapses easily and can be done with one hand (important when you have a baby in the other). It's so light and the shoulder strap makes it easy to carry. I can easily see how this fits in a plane overhead compartment. Speaking of a plane overhead compartment I can tell it's going to be great for travel. We are headed to the beach this weekend and not having my uppababy vista take up our entire trunk is gonna be a game changer. Also, I got green and the color is beautiful - someone stopped me on the street to ask me about it.

We really enjoyed traveling with the stroller and it fit beautifully on the plane.Very easy to open and close.

We bought this because we were traveling and wanted a way to get our baby through the airport. This is a very light stroller and folds to the size of a carry on. However: It will not fit in the bins of very small planes and it does not fit under a seat, so you may have times when you have to gate-check it. We were able to use it in the bin on our outbound but our inbound was a smaller plane and we had to pink tag it. It's nicely maneuverable on pavement and even offroad a little. The only issue we had was with gravel, it wasn't happy rolling over that.

Loving my new butterfly. I opened the box and you simply push in two buttons with one hand and the whole thing pops right open. It also closes that easily as well. It is light weight and so compact. It has a comfortable shoulder strap so it’s easy to carry for trips or even just to take up less room in the trunk when you have other baby stuff to haul around. I got the green and it is the prettiest color for our sweet little boy. The car seat adapter is easy to add to the stroller and his Nuna Air car seat just pops right on. I love this stroller and how it can grow with our little boy for several years to come.
