Reviews

If you want to know what other parents think of the Butterfly, take a look at some of the reviews from verified Butterfly buyers:

Highly recommend: “Cannot recommend the Bugaboo Butterfly enough! I purchased one for our holiday abroad and to use for quick trips out and about and it’s so easy to use, fold and manoeuvre. Baby is super comfortable in it and the basket underneath is a decent size.” (Five stars, 27/06/2024)

Sturdy and lightweight: “Love this stroller! Initially wanted the Yo-yo but this is 100% easier to fold, especially when holding a baby. Definitely worth its price tag!”  (Five stars, 05/05/2024)

Changed the game for us: “It’s just much better than the Yoyo2 we got when she was born, it has a much larger basket which for us is essential, taller and more comfortable and the canopy/cover really brings a nice shade and shelter place to our daughter. Also way easier to close it and open it than the Yoyo2. Of course, the Yoyo has the bassinet for the first 6 months so that was super handy too. I added some pictures directly on the website review.” (Five stars, 04/05/2024)

Absolutely awesome: “I’m really pleased to have this stroller. It’s very light so easy to fold with one hand and impressed with quality of materials.” (Five stars, 27/04/2024)

The buggy of travelling dreams: “We had to downsize from the bugaboo fox which we were a little apprehensive about as the fox had served us so well after 2.5 years. However, as we were moving countries, we needed something smaller and solo mum flight friendly! This pushchair has been amazing. We placed it in the overhead compartments on a British airways flight and I had no issue carrying a toddler and this pushchair in hand throughout the day. It’s now serving us so well as a city cruiser. Highly recommend!” (Five stars, 01/05/2024)
