Uppababy Minu vs Bugaboo Butterfly vs ???

[richking58]

Looking for a second, (ultra)compact stroller. Primary stroller is a Demi Grow (I’m not a fan of Nuna’s smaller strollers). Baby is currently 6mo, and we have the Nuna Pipa car seat. I don’t necessarily need the stroller to be compatible with the car seat but it would be nice (I realize I’ll have to buy adapters and that’s ok).

Which would you get? The minu or the butterfly or something else?

@richking58 I have the Minu V2 and I love it! Could easily be your primary stroller, but also compact. They do sell an adapter for Nuna for the Minu.

@archmike Does the recline mechanism bother you?

 

[archmike]

@richking58 No, not at all. Seems pretty easy.

@archmike Yeah I love the Minu V2 and have no issues with it!! We use it as our primary stroller. Have taken it over dirt and gravel trails too and it’s been fine.

@richking58 The mini looks great I was considering getting it but I ended up getting the GB pocket (pockit?) and I LOVE it. It folds up so small it’s crazy.

@richking58 We have the babyzen yoyo2. It lives in the car and we've taken it on 2 flights/vacations. We use the UPPAbaby Vista for walks around the block.

@richking58 I’ve seen the Minu in action and friends that have it don’t stop raving about it. I’ll probably get one myself

 

[archmike]

@smithsd Can agree, the hype is real. It is actually one of Uppa's more reasonably priced items too, at least for now.

@richking58 I have the butterfly and love it. I found the minu difficult to collapse & open.

 

[richking58]

@jbeez Any issues with the fabric? I’ve read reviews that it doesn’t hold up well

 

[farout]

@jbeez Have you had any problems with the butterfly tipping over with your child inside? I've read a few reviews that say it's a problem.

 

[jbeez]

@farout Never - we have had it for about 11 months. But that does make me nervous!!

 

[farout]

@jbeez Thanks for the reply! My daughter is 38lbs and I'm nervous she's too heavy even though it says it goes up to 50lb.

@richking58 I have the butterfly and it's amazing. I didn't get the babyzen because I didn't like the curved handle. It's hard to hold when you're walking.

@richking58 I have the Cybex Libelle and just ordered the Butterfly to replace it. I would have gone with the Minu instead of the Cybex but it wasn’t in stock when I needed it—I would pick the Butterfly over either based on friends’ reviews.

 

[richking58]

@ahappycamper With my first I also bought a cybex and ended up wishing I’d gotten something else

 

[ahappycamper]

@richking58 Love the car seat, not a fan of the stroller!

 

[richking58]

@ahappycamper I’ve never had one of their car seats

@richking58 Another vote for the minu! It basically ended up replacing our vista because it’s so awesome.
