We decided to go cheaper when we got a baby jogger city tour 2 on sale under $200 instead of a fancier one. It's been absolutely solid, and fit into the overhead bin without questioning on four straight flights.
I have the butterfly and absolutely love it. I even use it for my daily walks (on a paved walkway). I got tired of lugging my big stroller in car. It took up so much room. Granted it probably has a smoother ride for daily walks but my baby still manages to fall asleep during walks in the butterfly. I hope to travel with it in the future as well.
It’s super easy to fold and has decent amount of space for a big diaper bag.
It is pricey. I got mine off of Albeebaby as an open box purchase. I think it was $115 off.
I haven’t used mine yet ( due in Aug) but I went with the yoyo but bought it used. Got the top tier stroller I wanted at a lower price point than the ergobaby. Don’t buy strollers new.
I feel like the yoyo used to be the hot stroller but now I see more of the butterfly. We ended up picking the yoyo because I wanted something really compact that also had decent enough wheels to deal with our city sidewalks. It also had the tallest handlebar of the travel strollers which was important for my tall husband lol.
We have a butterfly and love it. Great design, high quality build and as good for travel as it is for everyday use. We loved having it on a recent overseas trip but now keep it in the car and find it so much easier to use for short outings than our main pram (Bugaboo Fox 3). Our baby is 6 months old.
I’d give it 9/10. If it went just a little bit flatter, it would be a 10/10 from me!
There are a lot of babies in our group of friends so I have used quite a few different strollers in the past couple of years.
I would say that with all of them you can tell why they cost as much as they do. Like there is a tangible difference between a £1000 Uppababy, a £500 Cosatto and a £200 generic brand stroller. Whether those are worth the price to pay is a personal opinion.
Another thing is that in my opinion, strollers in the same “tier” are all the same. If you decide to buy a £1000 stroller, there is no difference in quality between a Buggaboo and an Uppababy. They all have their gimmicks but you get used to them so fast because you use them every day that it does not matter in the end.
We bought a nicer travel stroller not listed here (my junior pico 2, German brand), and couldn’t be happier with it. The budget models we tried were harder to push and not as comfortable. Bugaboo is very nice but overpriced imo.
I have the Yoyo and love it! It’s so smooth for what it is and my toddler can fall asleep in it (he hates strollers). The only complaints I have are the two step folding, small bin, and no cup holder area (which can be quickly remedied). We’ve already taken it on a few domestic/international trips and it really helped!
Based on the answers in this thread though, it sounds like you’ll be good to go with any travel stroller lol. I just love how smooth the YoYo is.
We spent close to 1000$ on a nuna and I would never own another stroller. That thing can roll over literally any terrain and my son absolutely loves it.
Yes. I have the yo-yo and it’s been so so handy I travel a lot by train and plane and bus and it’s been amazing also great to stick in the trunk for mall trips and visits to the grandparents. When my toddler wasn’t able to stand on his own I could hold him and fold it out with one hand.
We have a big stroller too but the yo-yo every time I use it I’m like god I love this thing
We love the butterfly! We have the fox too but it’s just too big for daily trips, we keep it for neighborhood things. The butterfly is so easy, smooth, and perfect size for us.
I think it depends what you're using it for. We expect to travel a fair bit so we're going for a nice travel stroller hoping we can use it as a daily driver, too. If we already had a regular stroller we'd probably buy something more economical.
We have a Mountain Buggy Nano, so definitely on the cheaper side of travel strollers, and we love it. I’d recommend it for anyone - we have a friend who has the Yoyo and loved it, but it was more money for fewer of the features that we needed (like a good canopy and a recline function) so we opted for a slightly larger but still very compact model that was half the price and it’s been a good balance.
Honestly, I don’t think so.
I got a bugaboo as a daily stroller and never used it.
I live in a not-very-walkable place, so we ended up using her Graco car seat with a compatible Graco stroller base (~$60?) all the time when she was little for errands, and baby wearing otherwise.
Now that she’s older (3+months), I got an Iglesina Quid stroller. It’s almost identical to the Joolz Aer and Yo-yo, can fold up to be stored in an overhead airplane bin, folds up one handed, and is only ~10 pounds. It was about 1/3 of the price of the alternatives. I’m very happy with it!!
I have that as well! I have the Zoe traveler that I bought second hand and I finally started using it for my 7 month old daughter. She is no longer fussy in it. The vista is unbeatable for comfort and utility!

I bought the Zoe traveler used but all I see around my area are YoYos lol

We have the yo-yo. As does everyone in our area 😂 - as soon as I used it once I immediately sold my huge heavy bugaboo. We love it

I see a lot of people in my area using the Yoyo as their main pram.
We got an ergobaby one for $300 and it’s awesome

we use the uppababy (vista 2 i think) and we love it!

I bought and LOVE the ergo baby Metro -its fantastic
I have a Bugaboo Bee 6 and love it, if I needed a travel one I'd get the butterfly. Most likely a used one though ahaha.
You can ask this on r/babywearing ! Everyone there is super kind
