Anywhere with you: Meet the Bugaboo Butterfly 2

Planning a holiday with small children? You’ve probably already imagined the beautiful beach walks and fun family adventures… along with the jet lag, snack emergencies, and impromptu tantrums. But here's the good news: with the right travel mindset (and the right gear) your next family getaway can be a whole lot smoother.

That’s why we’ve teamed up with TUI to bring you the ultimate travel tips for parents, and introduce our newest travel companion: the Bugaboo Butterfly 2.

One-second, ultra-compact fold

Designed for families on the move, the Butterfly 2 features a lightning-fast, one-second fold. Whether you're navigating an airport, grabbing a taxi, or loading the car boot, this ultra-compact stroller is ready when you are. It’s IATA-approved for air travel, meaning it fits neatly into most overhead compartments. So no more nervously waiting at the luggage carousel, wondering if your stroller made it.

Sits upright, lays flat, ready for any adventure

From sightseeing in a new city to afternoon naps by the pool, your little one will ride in total comfort. The spacious, padded seat allows for an upright position to take in the view or reclines flat when it's time to rest. Whatever the day brings, the Butterfly 2 adjusts in seconds to keep your baby cozy and content.

Bigger wheels, smoother rides

Airport terminals, cobblestone streets, sandy boardwalks, the Butterfly 2’s larger wheels and smooth suspension help you glide through every twist and turn. Because let’s face it: holidaying with kids is unpredictable enough. At least your stroller can handle the terrain.

Pack it all (without feeling like you're moving house)

Travelling with a baby often means packing like you're heading off for a month (not a weekend!) But with the extra-large under seat basket and a handy back pocket, the Butterfly 2 offers plenty of space for snacks, toys, diapers, and all the ‘just-in-case’ essentials.

TUI’s top tips for travelling with little ones

We asked our friends at TUI for their best tips to help parents stay sane and actually enjoy their holidays (yes, it is possible).
Pack snacks. Lots of them. Hunger is the fastest way to a meltdown.

Be flexible. Museum visits may turn into playground detours, and that’s okay.

Entertainment is everything. Think games, colouring books, favourite toys and maybe a playlist of calming tunes for the flight.

Expect the unexpected. Sudden naps, bathroom breaks, or forgotten items? Laugh it off and roll with it.

It won’t always be picture perfect - and that’s okay!

Let’s be honest: the first holiday with your baby isn’t always the dreamy escape Instagram makes it out to be. Some days will be wonderful, others… chaotic. But in between the snack crumbs and unexpected detours, you’ll create memories that last a lifetime. So take a deep breath, fold up your Butterfly 2, and head off on your next big (or little) adventure. With the right prep - and the right stroller - you'll be ready for whatever the journey brings.
