Folding
Folding the Bugaboo Butterfly 2: what to expect
The Butterfly 2's one-second fold is its headline feature. The sequence below follows the manufacturer's fold steps — the motion is a single pull once you've done it a few times.
- 1Close the canopy and lower the seat to its most upright position (fold works best from the seat upright).
- 2Pull the fold trigger on the handlebar — on the Butterfly 2 this releases the frame so the whole pram collapses in one motion.
- 3Guide the frame down as it folds: the wheels tuck in and the pram ends up free-standing at 45 × 36 × 23 cm, small enough for overhead cabin storage.
- 4Lift by the built-in carry handle or slip the included travel bag over the folded pram for airline travel.
- 5To unfold, pull the frame up by the handlebar until the locks click — the Butterfly's frame locks out automatically at full extension.
- 6Note the Butterfly 2's fold is upright-and-pull — it doesn't require removing the seat or bumper bar, which is the point of the one-second claim.
