Mountain buggy nano vs bugaboo butterfly best for travel?

Which one would you recommend?

Mountain buggy is way cheaper and reclines more than the butterfly.

I heard from a friend that the butterfly is not very sturdy and can tip side ways but pushes and folds amazing.

Anyone have any and could weigh in and help me make my decision?

I have the mountain buggy nano for close to 6 years and it's still in excellent condition. It doesn't recline fully, but maybe the newer version does. I really like it, but there are some things in wish would be different. Again, maybe the newer version doesn't have these issues.

When the canopy is closed it covers the handlebar somewhat and is not so comfortable for the hands.

It's not a one hand fold, so you can't fold it when you hold a baby.

Did you have any issues with this in the past 6 years?

I love the nano. Best car stroller ever. Folds small and weighs nothing. Only good things to say about it. It askari can hold a car seat without an adapter which was the reason I got it.

Thanks. I wonder if the butterfly is so much better?
Or if its just because of the "brand"

My nano, 2020 I believe, reclines fully which is amazing
Push is ok, nothing like a bugaboo.
I also have a hard time cleaning it. It's funny. My bugaboo washes amazing. (Not butterfly, I know nothing about it)

Butterfly is my best stroller purchase by far! Excellent push! One hand fold! Huge basket! Only con is it doesn’t recline fully. But good enough for my baby to sleep

The nano has such a hard push & more complicated fold.
The bugaboo pushes like a breeze & has a one hand fold, as well as a better canopy than nano.

And are your kids comfortable in a semi recline for sleep?

Yes, but I didn't use it for a newborn. Only for older babies.
Yoyo is also a good option, but it's a 2 hand fold.

My nano has held up very very well. I got it right when it came out, I don't remember the year but it's been quite a few years and many international trips. I do wish the canopy was a little better. The push is not amazing, not terrible. It's very sturdy. I can hang a heavy diaper bag and it won't tip over even when the stroller is empty (obviously I'm still careful). It also has straps to attach an infant car seat on it which is extremely useful. I don't know if others have that feature but it's amazing when you're taking an infant.
