Head-to-head comparison

Bugaboo Butterfly 2 Plus vs UPPAbaby Minu V3

Two compact travel strollers that both say they suit a baby from birth without a separate bassinet: the Butterfly 2 Plus with its seat reclined flat, the Minu V3 as sold, which UPPAbaby says needs no insert or liner from birth. Weight and folded size are close, so price, basket and seat details decide it.

Specification comparison by Pramkin editorial, from each brand's Australian product pages. Key figures re-checked 25 October 2026. Not a hands-on review and not a car-fit test.

We have not tested either pram in a car. Compare the published folds above with your boot opening and floor; the shape of the boot matters as much as the numbers.
