divided
Reviewers praise
  • Rigid, well-constructed chassis with reinforced metal reduces alignment issues and rickety feel compared to other compacts
  • Large seat with tall backrest and wide dimensions accommodates toddlers comfortably through three to four years
  • Smooth push on pavement and indoor surfaces with sturdy handling that feels premium
Reviewers push back
  • Heavier and bulkier than many competing travel strollers at sixteen pounds, making carrying less convenient
  • Small wheels struggle on cobblestones, gravel, and broken pavement
  • Fold and unfold require practice and can feel stiff or stick initially, not as effortless as advertised
Reviewers agree the Butterfly delivers a sturdy build, smooth push, and roomy seat for a compact stroller, though the fold takes practice and the extra weight and bulk may frustrate some travelers.
— best for: Parents who prioritize build quality and a roomy seat for older toddlers, mainly pushing on smooth urban surfaces and occasional air travel.

Where do I begin, so many positives about this stroller! Having had the first version of another branded travel stroller, this is by far a better version. It is lightweight, sturdy, with very smooth, effortless maneuverability, making it very light and easy to steer. It is simple to fold down and can be done so with the bumper bar still attached...click the buttons on the handlebar and fold in one Poppy · johnlewis.com

The bumper bar is definitely a must-have! My baby is still a bit small, but she already loves using it. She rests her feet on it, holds onto it to keep her toys from falling, and seems to enjoy the feel of the leather material. The stroller itself feels very secure, but the added support of the bumper bar makes it even better for us. It’s super easy to install, to remove, and to clean. Just a quic Rose · Target
