One of the most well-liked travel strollers among parents, particularly in Europe, is the BabyZen YoYo stroller. When we initially arrived to London with our 9-month-old infant, I bought this stroller. We expanded our family and included a Buggy Board attachment. Flash forward four years, we have two more babies and traveled to over 25 countries with this stroller!

Tiny and Lightweight: The BabyZen YoYo’s lightweight and tiny design is one of its best characteristics. It is convenient for travel and storage due to its quick and simple folding design. The stroller is easy to use in busy places and small spaces, both inside and outside, because of its reputation for agile and smooth mobility. It’s convenient for Europe, where room can be scarce.

Versatility and Accessories: The YoYo stroller is designed for use from birth and can be used as a travel system with compatible car seats. You can start off with the bassinet (I never purchased this) for younger babies, but several friends really likes theres. It offers different recline positions, including a lie-flat option suitable for newborns. There is also a buggy-board attachment to use to add for an older toddler. Although I never purchased a second YoYo, I saw that recently, they had a new connector tool can be purchased to connect two strollers together, front and bank. I also loved the footmuff that came with the YoYo to keep kids warm in the colder weather.

Airline Cabin Approved: The stroller is designed to fit into the overhead compartments of airplanes, making it a suitable choice for families who frequently travel by air. This eliminates the need to check the stroller at the gate. It is so popular that, generally, as airport staff look at the stroller, they immediately recognize that it is a YoYo and can go in the cabin face.

AirplaneEase of Folding: The stroller’s one-handed folding mechanism allows parents to fold and unfold it with convenience. When preparing for a trip with a baby and other essentials, this might be quite useful.

Some of the things we don’t love about the YoYo are that

Doesn’t Lay Flat: It doesn’t lay completely flat for a more comfortable sleeping position for kids. Our kids could sleep in for short naps, but they didn’t nap as well as they did in our larger double stroller (see our review on the Cybex Gazelle here).

Lack of double stroller set-up: With the new connector tool, it is possible to connect two YoYos from the front and back. However, because of my kids personalities, I don’t think either of them would have liked to be in the YoYo that is in the back, since it is not elevated and that child wouldn’t be able to see. When they were younger, I usually had the older sit in the stroller, and used the baby carrier for my younger one. Once my son was old enough, we started using the buggy board attachment which he did enjoy for sometime. Now they both are at an age where they get more excited about sitting down. So this dynamic can lead to fights between the two. I wish there was a proper double stroller set up with this brand, where both kids had a clear view from the stroller.

All in all, this was one of our best purchases for our kids. The amount that we travel means we needed a lightweight travel that is easy to fold for the trips where our double stroller is just too heavy to take. For the full review on our double stroller, visit this blog post here.
