With the sun canopy fully extended, kids’ upper bodies are fully protected. The canopy doesn’t extend over their legs or feet so you’ll still need sunscreen at times. All stroller manufacturers recommend that you keep children several feet away when folding and unfolding strollers. The Butterfly, probably because of its weight and wheel configuration was a bit more likely to tip over sideways than other compact strollers in our tip-over test. Tip over testing an UPPAbaby stroller Genesis bags are ergonomically designed to be carried. With good shoulder straps and/or carry handles we have tried to make our bags as easy to carry as possible. They are NOT designed to be dragged along as this can cause scuff marks and/or damage. If carried as designed your bag will last way beyond pushchair/car seat travel days and become a nice sized bag for days on the beach. TOP TIP. Make the baggage handler's job easier by NOT overloading the bag. We know they are spacious bags but don’t take the sink along with you! Please be assured that we care about our luggage as much as you care about your contents. Our market-leading reputation has been built up over fifteen years and we take great pride in our work. Your satisfaction is our main priority.

The canopy can be unzipped to reveal a large mesh section that allows you to see your baby. This pekaboo window also provides a significant amount of ventilation. If you live around cobbled streets then this isn’t the stroller for you, as it is definitely more suited to city pavements but the 4 wheel suspension means it can handle uneven ground too.Historically stroller designs have allowed for pinching, and in some cases amputation when fingers were caught in folding mechanisms or closing canopies.

The wheel treads are rubber and other wheel components are sturdy plastic. There is spring suspension on all four wheels. There is a safety strap attached to the handle you can use to keep the stroller from running away from you, but is really only necessary on hills.PADDED VERSIONS: The padded versions have upholstery-grade padding inside and are lined in robust nylon. This padding and lining offer additional protection from both the bumps and scrapes of the baggage handling systems and from the elements helping to keep the contents dry and clean. NOTE: These bags are not armoured or indestructible and will not prevent crushing or other similar damages from occurring. They are simply to assist you to take your own stroller and other essentials abroad etc. which is done at your own risk. Both of these strollers receive our buy recommendation and scored in the top 3 out of 20 along with the Zoe Tour+. Choosing one over the other comes down to preference. The Butterfly stays folded when you carry it. The pad is comfortable but the strap may not be as long as you prefer. The carry strap is sometimes hidden when the stroller is folded.

True. There is a nice carry strap but it gets sandwiched inside the frame when the stroller is folded. Folding it down is also done with the same two buttons pressed together and pushing down on the handle. The Bugaboo Butterfly travel stroller is very compact The Butterfly’s seat recline mechanism is faster and easier to use, as well as its harness adjustment. The Butterfly is truly a one-hand fold whereas the YoYo2 requires two hands to start the folding process and is a bit complicated even after that. Once folded, the stroller is a very compact 45 x 23 x 54 cm which means it fits in most car boots (we have a Ford S Max 7 seater and with all 7 seats up I could fit in several folded Butterflys).This stroller tested about average when it comes to ride-smoothness which is a measure of vibrations and bumps felt in the seat. Canopy fully extended We haven’t had problems with the quality of the brake. Sometimes the brake doesn’t immediately engage when we press it the first time.

Our bags are designed differently to others and are manufactured with baggage handling systems in mind. We only use industrial zips and fittings and all straps have breaking strains well in excess of weights of prams, contents (or anything likely to be lifted by a human being). A car seat adapter is sold separately. It is compatible with certain Nuna, Clek, Cybex, Kiddy Evolution and Maxi-Cosi infant car seats. And is of course compatible with the Bugaboo Turtle Air and Turtle One car seats. Folding and Transport I have been testing the Butterfly with my nine month old baby who still naps twice a day and I love how easy the stroller is to recline. There is a very small amount of give where the handle attaches to the frame. Generally, the handle feels rigid and secure even while pushing older, bigger children. Faux leather handleWith Bugaboo making it clear that the Butterfly stroller isn’t a replacement for its popular city favourite the Bee6, there are some clear differences between both pushchairs. The Joolz is 13.4 lbs vs the Butterfly’s 16.1 lbs. The Joolz Aerfolds to just 1.8 cubic feet which is a tad smaller than the Butterfly’s 2.0 cubic feet. Neither are guaranteed to be accepted by airlines to fit in the overhead bin, although both qualify for some airlines.
