Bugaboo butterfly or Joolz aer+?

I’m so torn! I have done a lot of research on both and can’t decide! We don’t live anywhere near a stocklist for Joolz so can’t see it in person unfortunately, swaying towards Joolz due to the lie flat recline however have to purchase footrest separately which is a bit annoying. I have a 2 year old and 2nd baby due in August. Does anyone have either and can recommend? Thanks!

I have just bought the bugaboo butterfly and picked that over others due to 5 year warranty, the look of the pram and the fact it has the longest torso part of the pram, if that makes sense lool, essentially meaning older children will still be able to use it (4/5 years old). It can’t be used until baby is 5 months old, due to it not being lie flat but that wasn’t an issue for us as not going away until baby is 5.5 months old and he can already hold his head up independently, so it depends if you think you’ll be using it before 5 months for new baby x

yes that makes sense! Thank you so much, we are going away when baby will be approximately 5 months so should be ok with the bugaboo 😄 xx

one more question sorry! Do you find it sits upright enough? I read on a few blogs some saying their toddler pulling themselves forward have you had this problem? Xx

When I saw it up in the shop it looked upright enough. I’ve not used it yet as bubs is only 3 months old. It has a 5 point harness also but I couldn’t say for sure sorry x

We have a bugaboo butterfly and love it. Use it as our main pram now. Our wee girl is 2 but we got it when she was 8 months

fab thank you! Did you find it laid flat enough for her to nap in at 8 months?

I’ve got a joolz aer+ and it’s great. Looks lovely and it’s really easy to push, even with my 3 year old in it. I’ve never tried the butterfly but chose the aer+ as it lays flat and the backrest is upright. It’s easy to fold and unfold too, and it comes with a 10 year transferable warranty. I agree with the leg rest though, and will probably buy one for my youngest soon

We hve the Aer and love it, was deciding between both 2 aswell. What swung if for me was the weight, also I see a lot of people with bobbling butterfly seat fabrics. The seat and handle height are great also. Yes agree annoying re stockists, I happened to see a lady in the shopping centre with one and she kinda let me have a good butchers.

thank you! Really helpful x

that was lucky! Thank you for your help x

do you find the recline easy enough to do and to sit back up? This was something that kept coming up on reviews because of the zip x

Avatar

yes never been an issue for us! I’ll add a few pics to give you an idea size wise

it’s been ok so far but I have only had my 3 year old in there and she can lean forward when asked to. Not sure how easy/difficult it is with a younger child

Joolz Aer+! Much more comfortable seat (my toddler is super comfortable in the Joolz but frustrated with the recline in butterfly seat when upright). Lay flat on Joolz = better naps. Apparently the butterfly can tip too when turning corners when your child gets bigger! This is just my experience anyway ☺️

thank you!! X

Hey does anyone use joolz aer+ as their main pram not just for travel? The onylcthing that is putting me off is that it's only forward facing from 5monts, did anyone find this an issue

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol
