What’s New with the Bugaboo Butterfly 2
Share
The original Bugaboo Butterfly was a game-changer for parents who wanted a lightweight, ultra-compact stroller without compromising comfort.
Now, the Butterfly 2 has landed with clever updates that make it even more versatile, comfortable, and travel-ready.
1. Lay-Flat Recline for Naps Anywhere
Unlike the original, which stopped short of fully flat, the Butterfly 2 reclines completely flat, perfect for newborns and on-the-go naps.
2. One-Hand Adjustable Footrest
The old two-hand mechanism has been replaced with a smooth, one-hand adjuster, making quick comfort tweaks effortless.
3. Bigger, Smoother Wheels
With larger, full-suspension wheels, the Butterfly 2 glides more easily over uneven pavements while keeping its lightweight feel.
4. Upgraded Canopy with Peek-a-Boo Window
The new detachable UPF 50+ canopy features a peek-a-boo window so you can check in on your child without disturbing them.
5. More Storage Space
The under-seat basket now holds up to 8 kg (~45 L), and there’s a seat-back pocket plus a handle strap for easier carrying.
6. Refined Style Details
Subtle but premium: black buttons instead of white, colour-matched harness, and a silicone logo give the Butterfly 2 a sleek, modern look.
7. Better for the Planet
Built with more bio-based and recycled materials, the Butterfly 2 has a lower CO₂ footprint than its predecessor.
