A good travel stroller is hard to find: Trust me, I’ve tested quite a few in the nearly eight years since I first became a parent. But after recently welcoming my second kid, now 10 months, I approached my search for a travel stroller with a more discerning eye. My primary questions: Was it really easy to fold one-handed? Could it hold up to less predictable daily use? (Does anything go according to plan on the road? Hardly ever!) Did my infant truly feel safe and secure? (A lot of travel strollers seem better for the toddler set.) That’s when I was introduced to Bugaboo’s recently re-launched Butterfly 2 Travel Stroller. Before I dive into my honest review, let me tell you: It’s a good one.
