Head to head
Stokke YOYO vs Bugaboo Butterfly
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
Check price on Amazon
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
Check price on Amazon
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.
