We haven’t had problems with the quality of the brake. Sometimes the brake doesn’t immediately engage when we press it the first time.

The Butterfly handle is a refined faux leather that feels well-made. It is 39″ high and is not adjustable. This handle height is workable for the majority of parents. Both of these strollers receive our buy recommendation and scored in the top 3 out of 20 along with the Zoe Tour+. Choosing one over the other comes down to preference. Please do not dishonestly try to claim the bag was received defective and/or never used. With the greatest of respect, we are not a bag hire company. In the past, we have even had bags returned with airline tags inside when the customer stated they had not used the bag! We are an honest and decent company, so please extend us the same courtesy. PADDED VERSIONS: The padded versions have upholstery-grade padding inside and are lined in robust nylon. This padding and lining offer additional protection from both the bumps and scrapes of the baggage handling systems and from the elements helping to keep the contents dry and clean. The stroller is designed for children up to 22kg/around 4 years which is bigger than most in the travel stroller category. My petite 6 year old (21.5kg) has ridden in it on some longer days and it is still easy to push and tall enough in the seat to handle her. At 5 foot 9, I often struggle with stroller’s that don’t have a height adjustable bar, but I find the Butterfly is still comfortable to push. The Bugaboo Butterfly basket BasketOur bags are designed differently to others and are manufactured with baggage handling systems in mind. We only use industrial zips and fittings and all straps have breaking strains well in excess of weights of prams, contents (or anything likely to be lifted by a human being).

This stroller tested about average when it comes to ride-smoothness which is a measure of vibrations and bumps felt in the seat. Canopy fully extended To open the Butterfly you press the white release button on the handle and squeeze the fold button while pulling the stroller upward to an unfolded position. Both strollers have excellent folding operation and maneuverability, although the Joolz Aer scored slightly higher in both categories. See our full Joolz Aer Stroller Review. I have been testing the Butterfly with my nine month old baby who still naps twice a day and I love how easy the stroller is to recline.

With the sun canopy fully extended, kids’ upper bodies are fully protected. The canopy doesn’t extend over their legs or feet so you’ll still need sunscreen at times.

The stroller seat is 22 inches high, which is higher than any other stroller we tested. It accommodates children up to 4 years old or 50 lbs. It is sized where most bigger kids will fit comfortably. Quality and Safety These bags are ergonomically designed to be carried. With good shoulder straps and/or carry handles we have tried to make our bags as easy to carry as possible. They are NOT designed to be dragged along as this can cause scuff marks and/or damage. If carried as designed your bag will last way beyond pushchair/car seat travel days and become a nice sized bag for days on the beach. TOP TIP . Make the baggage handler's job easier by NOT overloading the bag. We know they are spacious bags but don’t take the sink along with you! The Bugaboo Butterfly has a sturdy frame and solid part and material quality. The zippers and fasteners operate smoothly.We performed pinch testing by inserting a pencil in hinges and other places pinches were likely to happen. The Bugaboo scored 8 out of 10 in our pinch test. We found a few places where pinches could occur during the fold process. A car seat adapter is sold separately. It is compatible with certain Nuna, Clek, Cybex, Kiddy Evolution and Maxi-Cosi infant car seats. And is of course compatible with the Bugaboo Turtle Air and Turtle One car seats. Folding and Transport It is among the smallest strollers folded at 2.0 cubic feet, but as we mentioned above, it is 3 inches wider than some airlines allow in an overhead compartment.

They are simply to assist you to take your own stroller and other essentials abroad etc. which is done at your own risk.
