When it comes to travel strollers, parents often face a tough balancing act. You want a lightweight design that’s easy to carry, a sturdy build that won’t fall apart on tough terrain and features that’ll make life easier—like a quick fold and enough storage for essentials. Finding a stroller that checks all these boxes while still offering enough space and comfort for baby can sometimes feel impossible.

Enter Bugaboo’s Butterfly 2. This next-gen stroller reimagines the travel experience with an emphasis on convenience, sustainability and smart design, offering parents everything they need and nothing they don’t.

Not your ordinary upgrade, the Butterfly 2 improves on its predecessor in several key ways. Here’s what you can expect from the updated version:

  • One-second, International Air Transport Association (IATA)-compatible fold: Breeze through the airport with this ultra-compact stroller that fits in overhead bins for hassle-free travel. Tested for over 10,000 folds, it’s built to last, so you can rely on it to perform just as smoothly on your thousandth fold as it did on the first.
  • Bigger wheels with full suspension: Designed to tackle all terrains, larger, tougher wheels with full suspension provide a smoother ride for both you and your little one. Tested to last over 2,485 miles, you can feel confident on cobblestone streets and cracked sidewalks.
  • Eco-friendly design: With 60% recycled aluminum and bio-based plastics, the Butterfly 2 has a 37% lower CO2 footprint than its predecessor, making it better for both baby and the planet.
  • Upgraded sun canopy: The new sun canopy includes a peekaboo window for better visibility and extra sun protection, keeping your little one shaded and cool on sunny days.
  • New back-seat pocket: Keep your essentials like phone, snacks and wipes handy with the new back-seat pocket—perfect for quick access without pricey add-ons.
  • Extra comfort features: Enjoy a one-hand adjustable footrest, extra-padded harness and built-in shoulder strap, designed for comfort and easy carrying during long outings.

Ashleigh A., a mom of a 6-month-old, had the chance to test the Butterfly 2 ahead of its release. “The Bugaboo Butterfly 2 stroller is impressively easy to push and steer on flat ground like sidewalks, offering a smooth, effortless ride with a baby on board,” she told The Bump. “The overall size is just right: compact enough for tight spaces but roomy enough for a comfortable ride.”

The Bugaboo Butterfly 2 is available in four timeless colors to match any style and starts at $599. The standard model includes the high-quality features Bugaboo is known for, from best-in-class safety to durable, water-repellent, PFA-free fabrics and 100% vegan leather handlebar grips. While the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 may have a higher price tag, its durability, ease of use and long-lasting design make it a solid investment for parents who travel often or have multiple children.
