Very well made. The videography in this is so clean and crisp, making it one of the best detailed videos I've seen of the Butterfly. This video solidified my choice in a compact stroller, so thank you for taking the time to create such a great video and review. Well done!
I just wanna say I ended up getting the Bugaboo Butterfly after months of debating between BabyZen and Minu 2. This is by far the most in depth and visually striking review I’ve come across. You definitely helped in my decision process. Thanks a bunch!
We bought this stroller and we are going to return it. The quality is really nice but there were two deal breakers for us. It was very wobbly (from side to side). Also its very front light so the stroller tilts back with little effort. It's a bit narrower stroller so the stability isn't really there for everyday use. It's not really an issue if you're just using this stroller once in a blue moon. Also the collapsing buttons are pretty bad. It's a cheap mechanism that they definitely saved money on. The minu has a awesome collapsing system that blows the butterfly out of the water. I really think the seat cushion is awesome on the butterfly. We haven't decided which stroller were going to but this one is a 7/10 for us.
Im wanting an everyday errand stroller (school pick up, quick trip to the shop etc) that I can keep in my car instead of lugging a big one around, and also use it for our yearly holidays. I’m torn between the Minu V2 and Bugaboo Butterfly 😭 which would you recommend for my purpose?! I have a 6m old and 4 year old so mainly for the baby 😉 I did hear about the tipping with the butterfly… do you mean tipping when it’s standing still?
@@samanthahalpin8640 we ended up keeping the butterfly. After testing more pie at Buybuybaby and Nordstrom this one was best because it’s lite weight. Also the mesh/canopy doesn’t ever touch the ground when it’s collapsed (minu 2 had this issue). Many travel strollers when collapse the canopy touches the ground. You don’t want parking lot germs all over your stroller. The tipping isn’t really an issue for us cause our baby is small and doesn’t crawl around in the stroller. For non tipping stroller you have to get one that has bigger wheels and bigger back stance; but then they become too heavy or it becomes a two piece. We really have grown to like this one even after being critical. Also the collapse button gets better over time. Definitely get the bumper bar if you order this stroller; it’s a absolute must. Sold as a accessory.
I was torn between this one and the metro+ deluxe by ergo baby and ended up going with the metro, it’s honestly the best for the price! Such a great stroller in my opinion I love it!
I've been doing a TON of research on compact/travel strollers and the minu v2/butterfly debate went on for months. Your vid is cementing the choice - thank you!
I bought this pushchair recently and am currently trying to return it to the retailer. We found it had quite a big issue with tipping sideways due to its high centre of gravity and just wanted to share this information as I didn't see anyone mention it in any of the reviews I watched. If you intend to push it along anything other than perfectly flat even surfaces then I would strongly advise against this pushchair. I never considered sloped driveways, slopes caused by tree roots etc when I was looking at this stroller. I would also say I particularly looked at it because it was one of the larger seats and weight limits for a travel stroller, but when my 11.5kg baby leant to one side whilst we were walking along a perfectly smooth but slightly sloped path, the buggy did tip over. Of course I had hold of the handle bar so no harm done but this happened several times over a 1.6mile round trip. I can only imagine that issue getting worse the bigger your child, and it really pulled on my back and shoulders keeping it upright.
Thank you so much for this info. Been very confused on whether to go for this or the yoyo - was sold on this due to the easy fold/unfold but you are the 2nd person to mention the tipping so now I am confused whether it work work with my 2 year old. x
@@mash8308 I really couldn't recommend it at all unless you're literally using it on perfectly smooth flat even surfaces ie. Indoors or in perfectly flat city centres
@@staceygreenwood5477 Unfortunately, living in Central London - we’re out of luck of having smooth flat surfaces. We also go for walks near the river/canal with a lot of redevelopment/constructions happening all at once - and sometimes our Egg pram even struggles. 😫 Have you decided whether the Yoyo would be better or rather an alternative stroller than those I have listed. Thank you for taking the time to reply. xx
We have a Bugaboo Chameleon 3+ from our first born and now using it for baby number 2. It needed some maintenance that I did myself (remove gunk from the wheels to help it spin freely) and works like new. The butterfly is a no brainer
After traveling with our continent of a stroller recently for our 1 and 3 y/o, we are looking to simplify things with either the Butterfly or Minu. I’ve watched both videos on each one dozens of times and still can’t decide 😆 I’d love to hear your thoughts on the stroller boards on the Minu and Butterfly for an occasional double situation! Keep up the awesome content.
@@hannahmiller8887 thanks! I travelled to check them out yesterday and I’m torn. The seat back on the butterfly was taller no? The part that kills is the butterfly very easily tips onto its 2 side wheels when going around corners 😱 which isn’t something I want to have to be aware of all the time to correct! But you’re happy enough with the Minu? Based on the tipping I think I’ll have to get the minu haha
@@samanthahalpin8640 honestly, I don’t think you can really go wrong with either! But I am so in love with our Minu. It was the right decision for us for sure
I haven't reviewed the TRVL in particular because it's not one I would recommend anyone buy. It's among the most expensive compacts but it's not worth the cost with a seat angle doesn't hold children upright enough and flimsy build. Also, despite it's name and nice fold, I don't believe it passes IATA specs for air travel (a bit deceptive in my opinion.) I'd easily stick with the Butterfly, Minu or Metro+.
Thanks for this review! I’m looking at getting this as our full time pram now that I just have one kid in a pram some of the time, downgrading from a city select.
Which one does your kid feel more comfortable in ... Minu v2 or butterfly ? The butterfly looks not upright enough And the peekaboo window would make more sense closest to the handle But compact fold on the butterfly is defintely better.
We are considering a Butterfly as our everyday stroller. Which would you recommend for someone who lives in a non-walkable city (we get around in the car everywhere but live in a city so don’t have huge open suburban spaces): the Cruz V2 or the Butterfly as an everyday stroller? What we like about each one so far (based on just watching video reviews online): For the Cruz V2 we like the bassinet add-on for the first months/year, the bigger storage space and the overall robustness and maneuverability For the Butterfly: the super light weight and compactness for getting it in and out of the car/apartments, as well as convenience in general especially as the baby grows into a toddler. Also the obvious benefit of it already being overhead bin approved for when we travel. For both we like the option of attaching a car seat directly on the stroller especially in the newborn/infant phase So hard to decide!
Thanks for doing these reviews! How do you like this comparing to the ergobaby metro plus? And there’s now the ergobaby metro deluxe, will you be making a video review on that stroller?

My daughter hates the angle. She prefers sitting a bit more upright (currently using the bugaboo cameleon). But i do like the lightweigt of it. So will see
So sorry to comment again . Now you have me stuck between keeping the colugo or switching. Leaning towards uppababy, butterfly, nuna or metro. Important for me is child comfort and safety, recline and upright. Won't tip over (as easily), easily fold and open ( as I am hurt)

I'm thinking between baby jogger city tour 2 vs butterfly! I am a bit worried because there are bad reviews of the butterfly fabric. I love bugaboo as we have the Fox and really satisfied.
@@rachelanndoles2329 I didn't buy yet because it is still snowing here in Norway å lot, so I am still using our bugaboo fox. I'll probably buy the bugaboo butterfly.

You know, I actually quite like Zoe gear including the Tour. I would personally still pick the Butterfly, but I think you'd be quite happy buying the Tour.
Hey thanks so much for this review! I just purchased the bugaboo butterfly and have 1 son as a first time father..just curious tho..is the only reason you have 2 strollers one full size and one compact at all times is because you have more than one child? Is there any reason for me to get another stroller that is full size?
I’m looking for an everyday compact stroller. Would you say this is your top pick? I currently have a baby jogger but it’s so bulky. However my baby is 1 and she still naps in her stroller on walks. So definitely need something comfortable for her
I'm looking at the butterfly or the cybex coya or the ergobaby mertro +. The cybex and the ergobaby have the handles in the seat where my toddler would sit, do you think this is uncomfortable/unlevel for the baby?
Can you compare it to the nuna trvl? Can either of these be used as an every day stroller if I live in Pasadena (suburban)? I’m a single mom and weigh 100 lbs so worried I’ll never use a full size stroller. Thank you!!
Thanks for this video. Could you help me? I'm looking for an everyday compact stroller. My baby is one year old and weighs 27 lbs/12 kg and measures 31 inches so I'm looking for something comfortable and durable for him. I’m not dure if minu2, butterfly, yoyo2, jet3. Thanks
Oh i forgot to ask. By any chance did you get the bumper bar as well? I haven't seen anyone reviewing the stroller with bumper bar. I'm curious how it folds with the bar. Thank you!
I’ve seen a video with the bumper bar and it seems to protrude out when folded. It adds a little length to the frame when folded. I think the lady is on RU-vid - Australian lady. She only does a very quick video. This video was great and very informative!

I’m torn between the Minu V2 and Bugaboo Butterfly 😭 which would you recommend for my purpose?! I have a 6m old and 4 year old so mainly for the baby 😉
Which one did you end up getting? I'm currently torn between these two but have heard that the Minu V2 will need to be gate checked on some airlines which is a bummer for us since we were leaning towards the Minu before.
We recently got the Butterfly to replace our Egg, save boot space and for travelling. It folds up and down very well, nice and compact also. I’m 5’3 and it’s a good height for me. Seat is soft and loads of growing room for our tall 15 month old. Be warned though it will try to tip! Any uneven surfaces or tight corners say bye bye to your baby 🤣 no but in all seriousness how did that pass the safety tests?
@@ally4503 thanks Ally! Argh I’m really bothered by the whole tipping thing cause otherwise I really loved this pram. I might have to get the Minu V2 instead. When do you find it mostly happens? Going around the corners changing aisles at the shop?! That’s how we tested it yesterday and it did tip onto the 2 side wheels. How on earth did this not get picked up during safety tests!!!
Not for this one. A majority of compact options in the market don't really have bassinet adaptation, but the Ergo Metro+ has a built-in bassinet conversion feature.
Thanks for the video! Do you feel like the butterfly has a deeper seat than the minu. We have the minu and feel like my son is sliding off. He just doesn’t look comfortable.
@@dadverb thanks so much!! Out of all the comparisons no one has mentioned the depth of seats. Do you of any other compact stroller with a deep seat? Thanks so much! I’ve been watching your videos since before my son was born.

I don’t understand why u have all the same answers to all asking to make a review for Nuna trvl, it sounds you’re so against Nuna, nina trvl is a nice stroler and it’s not flimsy at all and we used that everytime we travel. I also have butterfly and both great
@@l.c1011I didn’t get that he hates Nuna. He just doesn’t think it’s worth the money for the reasons he stated compared to all of the options out there.
I just bought the minu v2 a few weeks ago. Is it worth selling the minu for the butterfly? Bugaboo is my preferred stroller brand as I have the buffalo as well. I can’t decide what to do! I honestly hate how cumbersome the minu v2 is when folded.
What did you decide out of curiosity? I just got the butterfly, and i'm having second thoughts. I don't love the seat fabric. It looks like it will pill easily. I saw some reviews mention this. The break feels like it could easily break. One of the buttons to unlock gets stuck. And I don't care for the "foot rest." It doesn't help that mine arrived with scuffs already on it. I know strollers get scuffed up, but I want to be the one to do that.
@@abbieg2052 how is your butterfly holding up? I’ve heard the seat pills easily. My top 3 are the silvercross jet, Uppababy Minu and butterfly, not sure which one to get for our upcoming trip to hawaii
Just curious, why do you need 2 types of strollers in each car? I already find there's very little space for groceries when I have the cruz in the car.
Greetings from CA! Just wondering if you have found the minu to fit overhead cabins? We have it but looking if I need to purchase another for domestic flights. Delta, united and America airlines is what we usually fly
Hoping I could get a response on this one. If you could recommend one do-it-all stroller for a growing family that doesn’t want to have multiple for different scenarios, what direction would you point them in? Bumbleride Era? Considered a Doona but been reading quite a bit about the safety concerns considering the inability to allow the newborn to lie flat.
I would probably say depends on your overall budget. I know the Uppababy Vista V2 can go anywhere from 1 to 3 kinds with different configurations. We just got one and a clip in car seat for travel system as well. It also comes with a bassinet for flat back. And can double as a sleeping bassinet for first few months.
It depends on what you're looking for, budget, size of your car, and where you live ( sidewalks,gravel,grass,...) and how offten will you have to put the stroller in the car and get it out 😊 we have the bugaboo donkey and LOVE IT it glides so effortlessly on any surface and it's really easy to steer with twins. I used it a couple of times in single mode and it's narrower than the 2 single strollrs we had with our first son 😊
I wish I could have one of that strollers. Im traveling with my daughter twice every week and i always carry her. Commute. She was diagnosed with hydrocephalus and cerebral palsy. And we cant afford to buy such expensive strollers like that.she is 7 years old now and hoping she can walk someday. I hope you can donate one for my daughter.
What car seat would you recommend for an infant and toddler all in 1? If I get the bugaboo I would need to purchase a extra accessory for the newborn which adds to the cost? Wouldn't it make more sense to get a Doona (cost effective)? Will a Doona be big enough for a toddler? I like the concept of Doona just not sure if I could use it when the newborn becomes a toddler. In the case do people buy a separate stroller/car seat for the toddler stage? Your recommendation would be greatly appreciated and keep up the great content!
From what I’ve heard, it’s a matter of your baby’s size/weight with the Doona - once their shoulders are too broad or they weigh as much as the limit, then you’d have to buy an entirely new travel system (car seat and stroller). Some babies last a year and a half, some don’t even make it a year! 😵
@@dolcman81 you can't put a newborn on the seat of the bugaboo because it doesn't fully recline, you'd have to use the car seat attachment whose use is not recommended for long periods of time
