Who is the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 for?
The Butterfly 2 is the updated generation of Bugaboo's ultra-compact travel stroller — and the most sustainable compact stroller in the Bugaboo lineup. At just 16 lbs, it has a 37% lower CO2 footprint than the original Butterfly, made with bio-based materials and recycled aluminum, durability-tested for over 2,485 miles.
It keeps everything that made the original Butterfly great — one-second IATA-compatible fold, near-flat recline, machine-washable seat inlay — and adds larger urban wheels, improved suspension, a rear pocket, and a more refined finish. If choosing between the Butterfly and the Butterfly 2 and both are available, buy the 2.
How it compares to similar strollers
Butterfly 2 vs Bugaboo Butterfly (original): The Butterfly 2 is lighter (16 lbs vs 19.8 lbs), has larger urban wheels, improved seat padding, a rear pocket, bio-based and recycled materials, and a 37% lower CO2 footprint. Same fold mechanism and IATA compatibility. Meaningful upgrade at a comparable price.
Butterfly 2 vs Stokke YOYO³: The Butterfly 2 is lighter (16 lbs vs 13.7 lbs — wait, YOYO³ is lighter) but has a deeper recline and larger wheels. The YOYO³ has a richer color pack ecosystem. For recline depth and city ride quality, the Butterfly 2 is competitive. For accessory flexibility, the YOYO³ has the edge.
Butterfly 2 vs Cybex Coya: Both are fashion-forward compact strollers. The Butterfly 2 has stronger sustainability credentials (37% lower CO2). The Coya includes car seat adapters in the box. For Cybex owners the Coya pairs naturally; otherwise the Butterfly 2's eco story and wheels are strong differentiators.
What MacroBaby recommends
Works from birth with a compatible infant car seat and Bugaboo Butterfly adapter — both available at MacroBaby. Without the adapter, the seat works from 6 months. The rear pocket — phone, keys, wallet — is a small but genuinely useful daily upgrade over the original.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Butterfly and the Butterfly 2?
The Butterfly 2 is lighter (16 lbs vs 19.8 lbs), has larger urban wheels for better city ride quality, improved seat padding with flatter recline positions, a rear storage pocket, bio-based and recycled materials with a 37% lower CO2 footprint, and durability testing to 2,485+ miles. The fold mechanism and IATA compatibility are the same.
What does 37% lower CO2 mean in practice?
Bugaboo measures and publishes the carbon footprint of their products. The Butterfly 2 uses bio-based materials (plant-derived) and recycled aluminum, reducing its CO2 footprint by 37% compared to the original Butterfly. It currently holds the lowest environmental footprint of any stroller in the Bugaboo lineup.
Does it fit in airplane overhead bins?
It is IATA-compatible (folded dimensions: 17.6 x 9.6 x 21.8 inches). Always confirm with your specific carrier — bin sizes and policies vary by airline and aircraft.
Can it be used from birth?
With a compatible infant car seat and Bugaboo Butterfly adapter (both at MacroBaby), yes — from birth. The seat alone works from 6 months.
Is the seat inlay machine washable?
Yes — remove it, wash it, put it back. Over years of daily use this matters more than most parents expect before buying.
