Bugaboo Butterfly

The one handle button used to collapse the pram isn't as sturdy. Once the button stops working. The pram can no longer fold properly. They ships out a replacement kit, which suggests it's a known design flaw. Show details

Great 2nd pram – I purchased this as my 2nd pram. I use it for running errands at the shops. The fold/unfold is quick and easy. It pushes quite well for something with such small wheels, it performs well on concrete or pavement. Not suitable for pushing through dirt, the wheels are too small and you just end up getting bogged. The basket holds 8kgs but is shallow.… Read more

The only thing I don't like is that the seat doesn't lie flat, it does recline but there isn't a completely or near flat recline.

We love our travel pram – We bought this to take to Europe, and now we use it instead of our non-travel pram. It's super easy to fold and unfold and takes up minimal space in the boot, is manoeuvrable, and seems comfy for our now one year old (have been using since he was 6 months old). We used with the insert from our bigger pram when he was less than 9 months old for a… Read more ·  1

little extra cushion. Both our one and three year olds have had many sleeps in it. I thought it would be an issue that it doesn't recline back to flat, but that hasn't mattered at all. We have the scooter board for the back which is the perfect addition to get the two around longer distances. And the basket is a decent size for a small grocery shop or big nappy bag.

The downfalls - the seat doesn't go as upright as I would like, so it's always in a slightly reclined position, it can be a bit tippy - but I suppose that's what you get with a lightweight travel pram, and it is hard to push on gravel due to the small wheels. There is also a little pilling in the fabric as well after 6 months of use. But structurally it's holding up well.

Great travel stroller ! – Love this stroller! It’s so compact, lightweight and easy to open/close. I have three kids under 3 and as soon as my youngest one was old enough to sit in this pram, I sold the baby bassinet pram and bought another Butterfly. It’s been the only pram we use in the family. Pros: - Compact (I can fit two of these in my SUV and still able to fit my… Read more ·  1

groceries) - Lightweight - Easy to open/close - Easy to buckle (5 point buckle)

Cons: - Furballs build up on the seat inlay where the kids put their feet, however, I contacted Bugaboo and was able to get a new one for free. I’m sure it will still happen again with the new one though.

Best everyday pram- wish I bought it from the start! – Wish I bought this pram from the outset! It’s a great everyday pram and also travel pram. Rolls better than I expected on uneven and rough road, shopping centres and grass. It doesn’t push through gravel, but neither did my main pram with double the size wheels, so I think it travels just as well! The basket is very generous for a travel pram. I… Read more ·  1

can fold and unfold and put it in the boot of the car while holding bub in my other arm. Seriously impressed with how sturdy it is while also being incredibly lightweight. I rave about this pram to everyone I know and wish I just bought it from the start. It is compatible with the bugaboo NUNA capsule so is suitable from newborn age. The only downside is that it doesn’t fully recline to a lie down position, however my bub doesn’t sleep in the pram anyway so this isn’t an issue for us.

Indoor pram only – The pram looks good. That’s about it. We took this home hoping to use it as an everyday pram, we are lucky to get maybe an hour a day out of my daughter in the pram, so we wanted something small and easy to fold and store (we previously had the bugaboo fox 3, which was amazing but way too big to take anywhere). Our streets all have flat… Read more

footpaths, but they do have slight slopes due to being in a hilly area.

This pram tips over.

Every time I attempted to course correct, the pram would tip on two wheels to the side and it would take my entire strength to keep it upright.

I believe this is due to the high centre of gravity and the back wheels being closer together than the front.

For something that holds an infant, there should be no tipping whatsoever and I shouldn’t have to use my upper body strength to keep it upright- I may as well carry my kid.

Minor notes: the pram rattles right out of the box. The fold down buttons are stiff and require some jiggling. The fold down motion is a little awkward. And the unfold requires you to push the pram together to you can “unstick” the buttons, but this may be just that it was new and needed some breaking in.

But the pram does look good. The fabric is nice. If you’re only ever going to use this pram in a shopping centre or the airport, it’s for you. But anywhere outside of those two places, buy something else.

We returned and ended up buying uppababy minu v2, while a bit heavier I am in love with this pram and have no complaints so far.

I can only assume that all the good reviews are people who think it’s normal to assist a pram to stay on 4 wheels? Or are paid reviews.
