Operating the Stroller
Folding the Stroller
To fold the Bugaboo Butterfly 2, ensure the seat is in the upright position. Locate the folding mechanism on the handlebar and activate it. The stroller will collapse into a compact, self-standing unit. This one-second fold is designed for quick and easy storage, making it ideal for travel and overhead compartments on planes.

Reclining the Seat
The seat offers multiple recline angles, allowing your child to sit fully upright to observe their surroundings or recline for a more comfortable nap. Adjust the recline using the lever located at the back of the seat.
