Bugaboo Butterfly vs Joolz Aer+ | Which is the Travel Stroller Champion?

[@cmorge01]

I live in Germany and decided to get the Joolz Aer+ because of the full flat position you can purchase here in the EU. You don’t get this with the Bugaboo. I have a 2 year old and expecting my second one in 3 months. With the full flat position I can even put a newborn in the buggy although I wouldn’t do it for long walks. I love you can add a baby bassinet and a little board for the older child. It’s an amazing buggy for city life. You can even add the newborn car seat on top of the buggy. Best purchase ever :) Thanks for the great review!!

[@thestrollermom]

I LOVE hearing testimonies like this. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@thuytrangmi123]

Hi, I am considering how comfortable the child can sleep without leg rest. Can you please share your experiences?

[@sherrie-annyoung4039]

Thank you for this review!!! I’ve been researching travel strollers for several weeks and narrowed my search to both of these strollers. I’m purchasing the Joolz today!

[@thestrollermom]

I'm so glad!

[@chloemarshmellow]

Thanks for the comparison. I just bought the Joolz Aer+ and almost had buyers remorse due to all the great things I keep hearing about the Bugaboo on travel forums. Though I will miss the larger basket, your review convinced me to keep my Joolz! One question- Do you know if I have to remove the seat to attach my Nuna Pipa lite RX car seat?

[@ConsistentFix]

I have an RX (non-lite) personally but it attached without seat removal. It gets a little tight where the car seat needs to sit in between the stroller hinge so you may need to push it in a little there.

I live in Taiwan. I decided to buy Joolz are+. I have used for over one year. It’s a very great stroller for uneven street of Taiwan. But the chair back zipper design is really inconvenient.😂😂😂

[@thestrollermom]

I couldn't agree more! haha

[@hiphopdude89]

I"m torn between Joolz Aer plus and Uppababy Minu Stroller V2. Can you do a review comparison for that, please???

[@thestrollermom]

I am trying to get my hands on one!

[@sarahknadler3386]

Please compare these two!!

[@alexandracollins0807]

These were the two I was between a year ago before my baby was born. I ended up getting the Joolz Aer+ so I could take baby on walks as a newborn in the bassinet. Happy with my decision. I went on so many walks, and newborns sleep well in the bassinet. It isn’t healthy developmentally to keep babies in their car seats for very long, especially if the car seat isn’t in its base or the baby will be sleeping (as newborns do). Joolz Aer+ has been great as my everyday stroller in a city.

[@thestrollermom]

I am so glad you love it!! The bassinet is the best.

[@tatianavirlan6780]

Thank you for the comparison-really helpful! I have a quick question though: my baby is turning one and we are looking for a light stroller to use it on a daily basis too(stores, etc). Is the upright position on these two the same as on Nuna trvl and Minu2? Thank you in advance!

[@thestrollermom]

Both are good and very similar. I am so glad to hear the reviews are helpful!

[@victoriab.8102]

Did you pick a stroller and do you like it? We're in the same boat!

[@SaraTarte]

Our family is a huge fan of baby jogger strollers. We love our city sights. We are trying to buy a travel stroller that can be placed in the overhead for our upcoming airplane trips. What would you recommend between butterfly, joolz aer +, baby jogger tour 2 or the ergo metro + We don’t need any infant coverage cause we elect not to travel till babies are 1. It would solely be for traveling, biannual

[@thestrollermom]

If budget is not an issue, I would do Joolz. Otherwise I think you would be happy with Babyjogger or Ergo metro. Ergo is actually running a sale right now for $75 off: shrsl.com/4ge3i

[@t_tc4032]

I would really really appreciate it if you can do a comparison between the Uppababy Minu V2 and the Joolz Aer Plus ... struggling badly to find any reviews of these and which one to get ❤

[@thestrollermom]

The Minu will probably be the next stroller, I will buy to test out. What is/are the most important feature(s) to you?

[@t_tc4032]

@thestrollermom aww thank you for your reply. Looking forward to it 💜 For me I think will be child's comfort, durability and compactness... which obviously I know joolz is much more compact compared to minu but just worried about the durability and sturdiness of it as I've yet to see it in person yet.

[@thestrollermom]

@@t_tc4032 the Joolz is super well-made! I think you’ll be really happy with it!!!

[@t_tc4032]

@thestrollermom I'm going to be visiting the store next week so can't wait to see it in person. On another note, have you heard of Inglesina Quid2?

[@Ezrm24_]

Can you do review on the Zoe tour & the Joolz aer + I’m debating between the two. Thanks!

[@thestrollermom]

Yes, coming soon! I just got the new Zoe Tour a few days ago and it’s great so far :)

[@jakeraneloaguarobles5902]

The latter is a copycat.

[@brandyfey5704]

I’m so stuck in some stroller black hole. Seriously where is the perfect stroller?!? Does the Joolz footrest find with the stroller? And is it adjustable? I hate the lack of peek a boo window. Oh Emily please help me find a stroller 😭 Looking for the tall back to have it last longer since my little is already 15 months. Compact but will be our everyday adventure stroller. Seat upright upright. Peek a boo window is a plus but wondering if I can take off the canopy and add one myself….hmmmn What would you choose?

[@thestrollermom]

Yes you can fold the stroller with the Joolz footrest. Joolz has that small area of ventilation which is better than nothing. I would not change out the canopy, but would look at something else. What about the minu?

[@inlovewithmymentor]

Finally!!!

[@thestrollermom]

It has been a long time coming :)

[@blablabags]

That zipper recline is killing me!

[@thestrollermom]

I know!!! It's annoying when you use the car seat adapters too. It really is an amazing stroller otherwise!

[@arml22]

Thank you for the review. I am purchasing the stroller for my 2+4 year old to use interchangeably. My challenge with most travel strollers is my husband is 6’5 and tends to kick the bar at the back (thats why we had the uppa baby vista2). Would you say one over the other? I like the butterfly because of the extra inch on the seat…but otherwise would you recommend something else?

[@thestrollermom]

Maybe the Joolz, but just a bit... The only other one I would maybe recommend looking at is the Ergo because it has an adjustable handlebar. It isn't that much taller though, if there are features on the Joolz that you are liking more.

[@gabrielagonzalez6305]

Would you happen to know if you can put one of the armrest bars across the bugaboo for the bag attachment similar to the European designs

[@thestrollermom]

Great Question..I tried to find it on the website, but it does not say. I would reach out to Bugaboo and confirm.

[@raquelbeylus9667]

Hi! Super random question. Would you happen to know if the shoulder strap from the Joolz is compatible with the butterfly? I love the strap on it and would buy it just to put it on the butterfly!

[@thestrollermom]

I don't think you can take it off from the looks of it. But you might be able to buy some elastic strap on Amazon and make it work. :)

[@Mistanchi]

Would either of these be okay with cobblestones (we live and travel in Europe) or is there snother travel stroller one should look at for that use case?

[@thestrollermom]

The both do okay! most travel strollers are not amazing at cobblestone, but that's the trade off. Both of these are REALLY well made though.

[@catherinecoquilla22]

Hi, would you have/do a review on Bugaboos Butterfly vs Uppababy Minu v2?

[@thestrollermom]

Yes! Currently testing the Minu now. They are both great strollers. what are you looking for?

[@catherinecoquilla22]

@@thestrollermom just trying to narrow down my choice of trvl stroller 😅

[@thestrollermom]

@@catherinecoquilla22 bugaboo is small and fits in almost every overhead bin and has a taller seat back, but minu can be closed with car seat adapters, works with a bassinet, has a slightly better fold. Both have great storage baskets and easy folds. I like unfolding the minu just a little more. They are both good strollers! Have you also looked at the Joolz Are+?

[@catherinecoquilla22]

@@thestrollermomyes, with this video you posted but not in person. Just the backseat adjustment seems easier on the Bugaboo, I like the big canopy too, but the full fold on the bugaboo is abit bigger.

[@mountainlife8056]

I travel alot, like lightweight and simple. Im short and husband very tall. What do you recommend

[@thestrollermom]

These are both so similar... How tall?

[@mountainlife8056]

@thestrollermom he's 6ft1 but we bought the butterfly. Joolz aer was my preferred but something no video goes into Is if you've got giant feet you kick the brake on with the joolz aer plus unfortunately

[@thestrollermom]

@@mountainlife8056ugh I’m finding that with more and more strollers. He doesn’t have that issue with the butterfly?

@thestrollermom no. Its quite set back. He loves the butterfly pram. Which was quite amazing he raved about it for hours

[@만물깨돌이]

[@thestrollermom]

The Joolz is great!

[@amandawright8367]

Great video! When using these strollers with their car seat adapters/ car seat, can the stroller seat be removed? I find it looks a bit strange with both the car seat and toddler seat on at the same time

[@thestrollermom]

You can for Joolz, I don't believe so for Bugaboo. I personally like keeping the toddler seat on because it gives you options as your baby get older.

[@AnitaVarian]

Which one sits more upright when in the top position? My baby likes sitting upright. Thanks

[@thestrollermom]

They are pretty similar honestly. Maybe the Joolz, but barely. I highly recommend getting the bumper bar if your baby likes being upright.

[@gkarkalis]

@@thestrollermom the answer is always the joolz.... on every question!Nice paid review!

[@thestrollermom]

@@gkarkalisI wish it was paid! I bought this stroller myself 😅

[@saragoody6195]

Thank you for this great review.. I think I will choose this one. I wanted to ask what did you mean about a different feature if you purchase the joolz aer from Europe?

[@wavey_official]

The EU version has a full flat recline option whereas the US and AUS versions don't (assuming it's due to safety requirements).

What do you think about Cybex Coya ?

[@thestrollermom]

I would love to get my hands on one, but have not had the chance.

[@MagdalenaBruzova]

Thank you for this comparison! Still not sure, which one to choose. In our suburbs, we walk downhill (uphill) very often. I wonder, if the bugaboo basket could hold everything when reclined (up to 15 % downhill recline) or Joolz would be safer in that situation. Thanks 😊

[@thestrollermom]

I would probably go with the Joolz + based on what you described above.

[@silviamurgu5138]

Does the taupe color have a slight pink hue to it?

[@thestrollermom]

I didn't think so.

[@heilychan6635]

Thanks for sharing your insights on this! For Joolz, does it open & close the same way and as smooth if we add-on the handle bar and foot rest?

[@thestrollermom]

Yes it does!

[@rebeccabeiro568]

Can you fold the butterfly with the car seat adapters?

[@thestrollermom]

It's not intended...But you can. It's just awkward to put in and out of your car. The Joolz on the other hand is very seamless.

Oh no! I love Joolz. Do you need the footrest? If not it is a great option!

[@ChantelleTitheridge-ut4bp]

Please can someone advise me on a compact stroller for holidays for a 3 year old. Is it worth paying more for this age group or is it better to getter a cheaper version of these. I already have a stroller I use to walk.with only needing it to fit in car.

[@thestrollermom]

If you are not wanting super high quality, I would look at the Baby Jogger City Tour 2 (amzn.to/3VaQDAC) stroller or the Zoe Traveler ($15 off with my link) glnk.io/zlzjm/the-stroller-mom.

Not amazing, but you can do it. Sadly no travel stroller really does amazing in those settings.

Can you review the Colugo Compact stroller? ❤

[@thestrollermom]

Yes, it's on my list!

[@clairemanry]

Thanks for your review and I am purchasing the Butterfly because it has the leg rest build-in while the Joolz one doesn't. For the belly bar, you need to pay for extra too. Overall the Joolz one is more pricy than butterfly. But if budget isn't an issue, I would go for the Joolz one.

I agree with everything you said. :) Depending on where you buy, I would love it if you would shop through my links!!

That’s true in the European version, but it’s not allowed in the US version.
