BABYZEN YOYO Board - Safe for Children Up to 20 kilograms (44 Pounds) - Requires YOYO2 Frame (Sold Separately)

Product Information

There are different levels to put the shoulder straps through, so you can adjust this as your baby grows. There’s also a 5-point harness which feels very secure, with padded shoulder straps to keep your baby snug in the seat. Cooper secured safely in the Yoyo harness The buggy is lightweight so can easily be carried, especially because it comes with an attached carry strap. When folded, it is so compact that it can even go onto a plane as hand luggage. Definitely something to consider if you’re a frequent flyer. However, here’s the most important part: Yoyo accessories don’t change! One of the most annoying featuring of basically ALL strollers but Babyzen is that when a new, often only slightly upgraded model comes out (which happens every two years basically) the old accessories don’t fit anywhere. Imagine spending a ton of money on accessories, then wanting to upgrade the stroller, and bam – bumper bar or buggy board suddenly doesn’t fit.

How tall are you? If you or your partner are on the tall it’s extremely uncomfortable. Even if you’re 5’7 it’s already short and you’ll be slouching. Also, if you’ll be traveling to Europe often keep in mind that American car seat are illegal in Europe. So if you get it in the US it’s illegal to use in Europe because of the straps. Many people do it anyway, but if you get into a crash the insurance has a right to reject your claims completely if they see you used a US car seat, so it’s a risk. If you know you’ll be visiting Europe often I recommend getting a lightweight European car seat – they can be actually only 5 lbs like Avionaut Pixel!) As for the brake, it is situated on the right and is really easy to use. It is quite small compared to other brake pedals our tested tried, so it's more fiddly to find with your foot. My firstborn always slept and chilled comfortably in the stroller, and it wasn’t bumpy for him. Also, you can roll it around like a suitcase, which makes rolling even more seamless. Generally, I love how easy it was to move the baby stroller with one hand. The seat is super comfy and well-padded, which I find very satisfying. The seat actually has side protection made of a material, which can be detrimental to the baby’s arms’ safety, especially in tight spots.

Verdict in 10 seconds

When we were choosing our pram, we narrowed our decision to these options. I haven’t gone into the pros and cons of each, but we’re very happy with our decision to buy the Yoyo2! The brake is easy to flip on and off with your right foot. It’s bright red and located on the right side of the bottom of the frame.

The Yoyo+ is available in a great selection of eight colours and even comes with two frame colour options. The high level of personalisation available to parents really impressed our tester. How easy is it to clean? My older son has used the Yoyo here and there and he still fits under the canopy just fine at 41.5 inches tall (105cm), so while the seat isn’t as tall as on some other strollers it doesn’t matter.

I can easily put several items in it without worrying about carrying enough for my baby’s needs. Also, I can access the storage basket from the stroller’s front, which is fantastic. The car seat adapters M (Available in Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, Russia and South America): Here’s another post of mine on my travel blog explaining everything about flying with a baby: https://annaeverywhere.com/flying-with-a-baby/ but about bassinets. Dylan was I believe 3.5 months in this video? Maybe a bit older – not exactly sure since we used to fly with him a few times a month for doctor’s appointments haha (you’ll find this story on my travel blog too). It takes a ton of space in the car. Especially in Europe if you rent a smaller vehicle you will have issues putting the passenger’s seat in a comfortable position if you put Doona behind it. The peek-a-boo window on the canopy seemed useful, but it’s made of transparent soft plastic. You cannot open or close it, so on a sunny day we usually put a rag over it, because the sun gets through it so we often put a cloth on top of the stroller on very sunny days.

Here’s the part where I say that every baby is different! For some reason, Cooper started getting agitated in his newborn bassinet between 3-4 months. It coincided with him wanting to see the world more! He was more alert, loved looking at things, and I think (although I couldn’t read his mind!) that he just got fed up of being cooped up in what is essentially a rigid box. Maxi Cosi Pebble 360 attached to our Yoyo pram The Babyzen Yoyo+ really is exceptional in this area. Out of all of the lightweight buggies we tested, this was the smoothest ride out of them all and by a considerable margin too. I’ve spent so much time testing travel strollers (over 30 different ones and still going!), and I say that compared to other baby strollers, Babyzen Yoyo+ is a fantastic option. It’s not ideal, but there’s no better alternative if you fly a lot. I can take my bub or even two bubs anywhere with Yoyo+ because it’s compact, maneuverable, and easy to navigate in tight corners. More importantly, its accessories are readily available.

What are the key features of the Babyzen Yoyo+?

Yoyo+ is a four-wheel stroller with a suspension system that allows movement on rough terrains. The wheels do seem small but after 3 years of using it pretty much full-time on often cobblestones in Italy and rough trails they still haven’t worn out (they do offer an option of getting just an extra set of wheels, but so far we haven’t needed it and both myself and my husband laugh that we’re seriously beating this stroller up). Babyzen Yoyo stroller is small and portable when folded; it makes transportation easier. It also folds with a footmuff on! If you live in colder climates you will love this function. Overall, the Babyzen Yoyo2 stroller is a fantastic option for parents looking for a lightweight, compact, and versatile stroller that can handle daily life, travel and everything in between. Let me know if you have any questions. I hope this helps you make your decision. Most US cities will require a car seat, correct. However, for everyday use in the city I would just use the bassinet part or reclined seat because babies shouldn’t be rolling in car seats all the time because it’s bad for their spine. In the US it’s a norm, because people just follow the trend, but it’s a big no-no everywhere else. There’s also a little tether strap on the main handlebar which is great to keep a firm grip on the pram while you’re out and about. Macca pushing the Yoyo

Bassinets only are on international flights and only on big planes (so for example, if you’re coming from the US to Mexico there are no bassinets). Booking them is not automatic at all and the way you book it depends on the airline – with some you can reserve in advance online, others only do it at the gate, others you need to call for and request (never guaranteed). Either way, it’s always first come first serve so if there are 40+ babies like on Italy-USA flights only 4 people get them. Realistically speaking babies always fly on your lap and must be on your lap for take-off and landing and turbulences. You can pay for a seat for your baby (then you pay full price instead of the 10% fee) but you need to bring an airline approve car seat for that and you can only put it by the window.

Our tester found that minor marks came off easily with a damp cloth and a little elbow grease. For deeper stains, the seat and covers are easy to remove and pop in the washing machine. Is it good value for money? As buggies go, the Babyzen Yoyo+ is a modern classic, looking both contemporary and stylish. It feels and looks as expensive as you’d expect from such a high value item. Can I get the Babyzen Yoyo+ in different colours? We’ve been using it ever since, but like all other strollers, it’s not flawless. Babyzen Yoyo traveled with us around Italy, Poland, France, Switzerland, Slovenia, Malta, USA, French Polynesia, and Spain.

Created in collaboration with BeSafe®, the Norwegian safety experts, YOYO car seat is designed to protect your newborn baby and ensure he/she travels safely: YOYO car seat is a certified Group 0+ model for children aged 0 to approximately 12 months (up to 13 kg / 75 cm - 28.7 lbs / 29.5 in). It’s super heavy. Sure, it has wheels but you still need to lift it and if you need to get it up the stairs it’s 16.5 lbs to carry on top of the child. It’s more than the double weight of a regular car seat. In Europe most people hate Doona. My friend was getting yelled at left and right at the grocery store for rolling with her baby in Doona, because it’s not healthy to keep an infant in a car seat for extended periods of time. It’s a common practice in the US, but not anywhere else really. It’s not only bad for them but also gets super hot inside the car seat in the summer.
