The Bugaboo Butterfly 2 is Bugaboo’s most refined compact travel stroller.
Designed as a compact travel stroller and city stroller, the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 is ideal as a second stroller alongside a full-size model. Its one-second fold results in IATA-compatible carry-on dimensions. Suitable from 6 months to 22 kg (48.5 lbs). Newborn use requires a compatible infant car seat and the corresponding adapter, both sold separately.
The Bugaboo Butterfly 2 weighs 7.3 kg (16.1 lbs) and folds to 45 x 23 x 54 cm, IATA carry-on compatible. The underseat basket holds up to 8 kg. Front wheels are 14 cm (5.5 in) and rear wheels 15.2 cm (6 in), both with full suspension. The fixed handlebar stands at 102.4 cm (40.3 in).
If you owned the original Bugaboo Butterfly or are comparing the two models, the differences are meaningful. Bugaboo redesigned the seat, rebuilt the wheel system, expanded storage, and improved the canopy while also reducing the stroller’s environmental footprint.
The most noticeable change is the fully upright seat position, which the original Butterfly did not offer. Paired with larger urban wheels replacing the smaller hard wheels from version one, the ride on varied surfaces is noticeably smoother. Full suspension throughout, compared to the limited suspension on the original, makes a real difference on uneven pavement.
Storage was also rethought. The underseat basket has been expanded, and a new back-of-seat pocket gives parents an easy-reach spot for a phone, wipes, or snacks. The sun canopy now includes a front peekaboo window that the original lacked. Bugaboo also redesigned the frame geometry to improve stability on varied terrain.
On sustainability, the Butterfly 2 carries a 37% lower CO2 footprint than the original, built with 60% recycled aluminum and bio-based plastics. The harness has been upgraded to a softer, color-matching padded 5-point design where the shoulder straps stand independently, making it easier to load a child without wrestling with the harness.
The Bugaboo Butterfly 2 accessories ecosystem extends what the stroller can do across every use case, from Canadian winters to international travel. Each item is available at Kido Bébé in Montreal.
The Bugaboo Butterfly 2 rain cover fits the stroller specifically, protecting your child and the seat fabric in wet conditions. For year-round city use in Canada, where rain and sleet are a reality across every season, this is a practical essential. It fits directly over the canopy and seat opening without requiring tools or additional hardware.
Car seat adapters are required for travel system use and for newborn-stage riding. Compatible car seat brands include Nuna, Cybex, Maxi-Cosi, and Bugaboo via the Turtle Air Shield by Nuna. Each brand requires its own specific adapter SKU, so verify compatibility with Kido Bébé before purchasing.
The transport bag is purpose-made for air travel and stroller storage. It protects the frame and seat fabric during checked luggage handling and provides a clean way to store the stroller when not in use.
The bumper bar is compatible with both the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 and the Bugaboo Dragonfly. It provides a front grip point for the child and adds security for younger riders. It is not included in the base stroller package.
The mosquito net is compatible with the Butterfly 2 and the Dragonfly. It covers the full canopy opening and is designed for outdoor summer use and travel to destinations where insects are a concern. Lightweight and easy to attach, it stores compactly in the underseat basket when not in use.
The Bugaboo Butterfly 2 can be configured as a travel system from birth using a compatible infant car seat and the appropriate adapter. This makes the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 Complete stroller setup a genuinely versatile option for parents who want a single compact stroller that grows from the newborn stage through toddlerhood.
Note that the Butterfly 2 on its own is not suitable for newborns. The seat reclines to 147 degrees, which falls below the flat-recline position required for safe newborn use. An infant car seat clipped in via adapter provides the lying-flat position that newborns need. Without the car seat and adapter in place, the stroller is designed for children from 6 months of age.
Confirmed compatible car seat brands for the Canadian market are Bugaboo (Turtle Air Shield by Nuna), Nuna, Cybex, and Maxi-Cosi. Every brand requires its own specific adapter, sold separately. Always verify compatibility with your specific car seat model before purchasing. The team at Kido Bébé’s Montreal boutique can confirm the right adapter for your setup in person.
