Key features

What to expect

Bugaboo Butterfly 2 targets families who want a lightweight and compact travel pushchair without sacrificing comfort. The pushchair weighs 7.3 kg and is suitable for children from birth up to 4 years, or a maximum of 22 kg. Its ultra-compact fold makes it easy to carry, stow away and take on trips. When folded it measures 44.8 x 24.5 x 55.5 cm, which makes it easier to handle in tight spaces.

The seat unit is spacious and ergonomically designed. It can be reclined to a lie-flat position for resting and can also be set fully upright when the child wants to sit up and look around. The seat has a width and depth of 30 x 24 cm, and the space under the hood is 68 cm. This provides good room for a growing child over several years.

Smooth handling and practical use

The pushchair has large wheels and full suspension, which helps smooth out uneven surfaces. The front wheels measure 14.1 cm and the rear wheels 15.1 cm. The handlebar height is 102.4 cm. The combination of low weight and stable ride makes the pushchair easy to manoeuvre in urban environments, on walks and while travelling. It helps when you often need to lift, fold and repack the pushchair.

Storage is also well thought out. Under the seat there is a luggage basket with an 8 kg capacity, and the seat unit has a handy storage pocket. The pushchair can be used with an infant carrier or car seat with adapters, and for newborns there is extra comfort with the Bugaboo babynest. This makes the model flexible for different needs during the child's first year.

Materials and care

The seat fabric and UPF 50+ sun canopy are made of polyester and polyamide, while the seat insert is made of polyester with laminated polyurethane foam. The luggage basket under the seat uses materials designed to withstand everyday use. The faux leather grips can be cleaned with a damp cloth, which simplifies maintenance.

Care instructions are clearly stated. The seat fabric, sun canopy and luggage basket should be hand washed. The seat insert can be machine washed at 30 °C. This makes it easier to keep the pushchair fresh over time. Always check the care labels to follow exact washing instructions and preserve material function.
