# Stokke YOYO vs Bugaboo Butterfly

    
 
Quick answer — Stokke YOYO³ vs Bugaboo Butterfly: which should I buy? 

 
The YOYO³ is the better cabin-bag stroller for flying. The Butterfly is the better compact if it will also do pavements and you will check a bag. Both are second chairs, not full-size replacements.

These are the two premium compacts UK parents cross-shop. Both fold small; only one is a true cabin-bag ritual. The other pushes more like a small pram.

     
## Stokke YOYO³

   
From £440

 
9.5/10

 
The cabin-bag icon, now under Stokke: one-handed fold, shoulder strap, and a newborn pack that makes it a genuine from-birth travel chair. The reason it stays at the top is not the Instagram fold — it is that you can actually steer it through a gate with a coffee in the other hand.

 

Choose if: You fly, want a shoulder-strap cabin fold, and will buy the newborn pack if needed.

## Bugaboo Butterfly

 Cheaper  
From £429

 
9.3/10

 
Bugaboo's compact that actually pushes like a small pram: deeper seat, better wheels than a pure cabin bag, self-standing fold. The one to buy if the compact will do the school run as well as the airport, and you are willing to check it.

 

Choose if: You want a compact that still feels planted on pavements and you will check it.

## Our verdict

 
Fly often: YOYO. School-run compact that sometimes goes in a hold: Butterfly. If you need one chair for parks and kerbs, buy a full-size instead of either.
