How to Take Flight with Bugaboo

When travellers become parents, the first thing they promise is that a baby will not affect future travel plans. With the launch of Bugaboo’s Butterfly 2 ultra-compact travel pram, taking your young child with you on adventures is easier than ever.

Made for travel as well as comfort, the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 hits the perfect balance of portability, progressive design and sustainability. This pram is made for families on the move with enhanced functionality, including extended recline, one-hand footrest operation, a detachable sun canopy, and it looks smart too, with premium black accents.

Every day is an adventure with a new baby, but there is something extra special about taking them out to explore the wider world with you. It’s about sharing a love of travel, a love of the outdoors, or a love of going to the beach that helps build lasting, loving bonds.

Plane sailing

Not only does the new Bugaboo Butterfly 2 fold easily with just one hand, once it is closed it is compatible with International Air Transport Association (IATA) rules for stowing in a plane’s overhead compartment. The pram weighs just 7.3 kg, so it is light enough to lift overhead by yourself. Fast, compact and ready to take to the skies.

Urban exploring

Whether you are hitting the streets in a new city, exploring where you live, or taking off on a hike in nature, the Butterfly 2 pram has larger wheels (front 14 cm, rear 15.2 cm) with full suspension that offers better manoeuvrability, grip, and resistance in a wide range of conditions.

Made with durable materials and tested to travel over 4,000 km without showing much wear and tear, this is the pram you need if you are an adventurous family who loves living life on the road.

Comfort for everyone

Your child will be cared for better than a first-class airline passenger with an ergonomic seat featuring a 148° relaxed recline (making it suitable from newborn) and fully upright seat angles. You can also adjust the integrated footrest with one hand to get the perfect angle for your precious cargo.

Parents benefit from features like a convenient backseat pocket, one-hand adjustable footrest, a new detachable sun canopy with peek-a-boo window, and extra-padded harness. Every detail is crafted for comfort on the go.

Made for a better world

It is important to Bugaboo that their prams are not only convenient but that they conserve the planet for the next generation of travellers. The Bugaboo Butterfly 2 features tubes made from 60 per cent recycled aluminum. The engineering plastic components are made from PFAS-free plastics, derived from renewable biological sources, significantly reducing the environmental impact compared to conventional plastics.

The Butterfly 2 achieves a 37 per cent reduction in CO2 footprint compared to its predecessor, supporting Bugaboo’s Push to Zero strategy to reach net-zero CO2 emissions by 2035.

Bugaboo Butterfly 2 is made for explorers. It is the perfect pram for introducing your child to the joys of travel while making sure that both you and your child are not sacrificing comfort. The new Butterfly 2 has also recently been awarded the prestigious Red Dot: Best of the Best Design Award 2025, for blending Dutch design excellence with practical features tailored to modern Australian lifestyles.
