Babyzen Yoyo

Thread: "Please share any recommendations for a travel stroller ? "

silver cross makes the jet/jet 3, which do fit in overhead bins and are aimed at travel like the yoyo or butterfly. but unlike nuna, they don’t really market the “non-toxic/greenguard” angle, fabrics are standard polyester/foam that meet safety regs, not the eco-focused stuff. if materials are a priority, nuna’s usually the pick, silver cross leans more on portability/build. there’s not a lot you need to keep in mind yourself tbh, [this post swears by](https://www.reddit.com/user/BarberUnited7894/comments/1pf2iva/midtier_vs_premium_stroller_wagons/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) baby trend and i’ve found it to be helpful. feel free to just use it as a checklist as well

Thread: "Please share any recommendations for a travel stroller ? "

I have heard not so great reviews about the baby zen yoyo, so crossed that off my list. Nina travl is still too big in my book. I went with the Ergobaby metro+ and have absolutely zero complaints. Small enough for overhead, rides great, comfortable for us to push, baby sits practically upright unlike a lot of travel strollers, and it even lays nearly flat for naps and for small babies the footrest is adjustable and can turn it into a bassinet. Would 100% purchase again, I wish I had it from the start and not the giant mockingbird stroller.

Stokke Yoyo. It does very well on cobblestone (also checks off your other requirements) and you’ll likely see many when you’re over there!

Thread: "Recommendations: Everyday stroller that is also good for traveling [on]"

We love our ergobaby metro! Edit: some considerations that will help you narrow down options - what's your budget? The bugaboo butterfly, uppababy minu, joolz aer, stokke yoyo etc are highly rated compact strollers but are the most expensive. The ergobaby metro is a mid range priced stroller. There are also very affordable options too. Are there specific features you care about? For example, do you want it to be able to fully recline flat for naps or for younger babies, or a canopy with good coverage, or a good size basket? The ergobaby metro checks those boxes. Or do you care more about being super lightweight? The joolz aer is only 13 pounds. Or do you want a large basket? The bugaboo butterfly is your pick.

Yo-yo or ergo baby metro. Have both and have used them both for traveling. They both fit in the overhead compartment.

Thread: "Travel stroller that fits in overhead compartment? [AB]"

FYI WestJet made us gate check our YoYo. They said it couldn't go in the overhead "because it has wheels". If you're set in carrying it on, I'd make sure it's in a bag (travel bag or even just a backpack) before boarding.

Thread: "Travel stroller: Stay in UppaBaby family? "

Honestly I would get the Minu. I had a Babyzen yoyo before the Minu and actually didn’t find it helpful to put it in the overhead bin. Being able to use the car seat or bassinet with it and having a decent basket size was personally worth it to me and it is still very compact when folded up and stands on its own. You can get a padded bag if you’re worried about it getting damaged when gate checked.

Thread: "Travel stroller recommendations"

I hate the yoyo. It is small but it is SO annoying to fold and unfold. Impossible to do with baby. Sold it and got the Minu and love it. Not as compact but it’s easy to fold. You might like the GB Pocket.

Thread: "Best travel stroller for Europe"

For Europe I gotta go Yoyo. It doesn’t fit all of your criteria but it’s the king of durable and navigating tight spaces. It also can be put in overhead bins which is a lifesaver. Because it is so compact it doesn’t have a ton of storage, but you can fit more underneath than it looks. It’s much bumpier than a running stroller, it’s quite bumpy over cobblestone but it doesn’t get stuck. But it is light, does recline sufficiently for naps, and also has a good cover. Some packages also come with a rain cover and you can also buy an extra umbrella. You may balk at the price but I will say it lasts forever. I’m on my second kid with it, and my 5yo can still fit in it. Even in the US it’s something we can keep in the car for emergencies.

Thread: "Travel Stroller Help!"

Yoyo with a newborn pack. There are good reasons you see them all over major European cities.

Thread: "Travel Stroller recommendation"

We did a lot of extensive research (we do a lot of international travel) for a stroller. Ultimately we decided om the yoyo because it is guaranteed to fit on all airlines (only stroller to my knowledge thats approved for flights, the rest may fit the dimensions and criteria but arent necessarily approved ). I know some people are saying that they have been told to gate check, but i have been assertive in needing my stroller (or carryon for that matter) and they have been ok with it, mostly because its for a baby/child. Some are also saying to just gate check, but the issue with that is sometimes you wont get the stroller for your layovers, and in some countries you dont get it until past passport control in baggage claim. For me, paying the extra money and getting the yoyo was worth it just so that i had peace of mind that i would be able to use my stroller as soon as i land. We have flown locally with aircanada as well as internationally in the last six months and they havent given an issue taking the yoyo on board. Matter of fact, they put it in business class on one of the trips for us because there was no space in economy! As for the yoyo itself, ive used it on all terrains imaginable and the stroller has held up amazingly. The wheels have ball joints so the shock is absorbed better, and makes for a smooth ride on cobblestone, gravel, rocky surfaces, sand, you name it!

Thread: "Uppababy Cruz vs Babyzen Yoyo+"

I haven’t used BabyZen, but the benefits of a full size stroller for us were that the wheels are better and bigger in my opinion, which helped with walks on less even terrain. We really love the UPPABaby Cruz, it’s been amazing for air travel, especially considering their travel bag that comes with insurance for the stroller. All in all, see if you can actually go and look at the strollers you like. Cruz has an adjustable handle that extends for shorter/taller person which we used a great deal. It can also stand on its own when in folded position. Also, what I really really love is that you can put bassinett/seat forward or towards the parent- not all strollers have that I think. Oh, also Cruz has a huge sun visor which was super useful, especially with a younger baby.

Thread: "Uppababy Cruz vs Babyzen Yoyo+"

I think a more equivalent comparison would be the uppababy minu vs babyzen. The Cruz is bigger. We decided on the babyzen after reading this article - https://strolleria.com/blogs/news/uppababy-minu-vs-babyzen-yoyo-stroller-comparison and purposely didn’t want something as big as the Cruz. Edit to add: we are going to use babyzen as everyday stroller but I know so many people that LOVE their Cruz and it’s prob a little more sturdy than the babyzen plus has a bigger under basket. My friends with the Cruz do not like flying with it though and also bought a travel stroller

Thread: "Recommendations for a stroller that's for an 8mo and fits overhead compartment on a plane? "

The Babyzen Yoyo seems to be the most popular and most recognised by airlines. We have a Joolz Aer+ which I bought instead the Yoyo as it has a 1 hand fold and is a bit taller, I really like it, I use it for travel and for quick trips out at home where I don’t want to get the big pram out. But every time I try to take it on a plane I’m told I need to check it, then I say “no it fits in the overhead” and then they ask “is it a Yoyo”. Initially I just said it was like a Yoyo but that was causing issues, so now I just lie say that it is because it’s easier. So if you don’t want to be questioned - a Yoyo is the most recognised and accepted for air travel.

Thread: "Lightweight/travel stroller recommendations, please!"

Babyzen yo-yo! You can find them on marketplace for a decent price and I really like how easy it is to fold and carry. We’ve used ours traveling quite a bit and it’s great for trips to the mall etc where I don’t think we need our Cruz. The parts for the yo-yo are replaceable so if something is worn you can easily reach out and get a replacement for a reasonable cost too. We have had zero issues taking it on the plane and we’ve flown air Canada and west jet. Overhead compartment fits easily and no one hassled us.

Thread: "Travel Stroller Help!"

The only stroller that I know fits in the overhead bin is the Babyzen Yoyo. I think there's at least one other stroller on the market that fits, but I don't remember which one, and most of the strollers you listed would need to be gate checked. Despite that, I'm inclined to recommend the Minu. We have it and use it as our full-time stroller, and it's great. I haven't traveled with it, but I live in an old American city, and it rolls pretty smoothly over uneven brick sidewalks. I'm happy to answer questions about it if you have them.

Thread: "nuna trvl as everyday stroller??"

We have a babyzen yoyo as our only stroller and in works in almost every situation. I definitely don’t think you need something huge!

Thread: "Please share any recommendations for a travel stroller ? "

Everyone has their own preferences, but personally I would never buy a yoyo. We were gifted one second hand and it’s fine but not great and I’d never pay what they ask for one. +it’s small and easy to fold +on flat ground the ride is easy/smooth +it turns easily +it’s easy to push one handed +our kid is tall and still fits in it (not true for the graco system we first bought) -the harness is so low that our kid can easily get out/fall out regardless of how tight it is. We didn’t get this until she was big enough to have some core strength so it’s not a major issue for us but would not work if she wanted out at all. If she’s not in a cooperative mood the stroller is totally useless for us. -if the terrain is bumpy at all we can’t get over it. When our kid was like 1 we could tip the stroller back to get the wheels over a bump but now at 2 she’s too heavy for the and it feels like we’ll break the stroller that way. We live in a suburban area and if the sidewalk is uneven/broken/bumpy we can’t get over it so there are multiple streets that are just a nightmare to navigate with minor bumps in the sidewalk. -you have to buy all accessories like cup holders separately, which, at this price point annoys me

Thread: "Strollers taking up overhead space?"

If you get a stroller small enough and considering it as a carryon over head I think it's okay. They do have compact carryon strollers smaller than a carryon luggage. Gate checking strollers risk damaging it. If I'm paying for a compact stroller I should be able to place it in the over head. Thats why we have these strollers (Munchkin Sparrow stroller is tiny or Strokke yoyo3). So we don't check it in and saves space for others.

Thread: "Looking for travel and quick errand stroller. Uppababy Minu v2 or nuna trvl?"

I love my Uppababy Minu. I have a Cruz and a BOB and I never use them now that I have the Minu. I would encourage you to go to a store and try out the smaller strollers - the GB Pockit stroller is another small travel stroller and it felt super flimsy when pushing, Babyzen Yoyo feels very top heavy and awkward when turning imo. I would go see how it feels for you folding/unfolding/lifting. I have never liked a stroller as much as my Minu!

Thread: "Travel strollers"

We have the GB Pockit+ All-City and I regret it. Does it do the job? Yes. But I don’t think it was worth the money we spent on it, the seat is pretty cramped, the stroller itself is a bit rickety and I don’t expect it to last a long time or maintain resale value. Also, even in its most upright position, it’s pretty reclined and my daughter likes to sit up all the way so she can look around (especially while traveling). The fold is cool (which is why we bought it. My husband LOVES that fold), but isn’t that simple, and there’s no reason it needs to fold THAT small. As long as it fits in the overhead bin on the plane, that’s what matters (that feature was extremely useful when traveling with only 1 kid. Not having to wait for a gate checked stroller, or worry about it getting damaged by baggage handlers is invaluable). If I were to redo it, even though they’re super pricey, I’d go with either the Babyzen Yo-Yo or the new Bugaboo Butterfly. We have a 2nd kid on the way though (25 month age difference) and have given into the fact that traveling will just be harder now and our best bet now is a lightweight double we’ll be gatechecking.

Thread: "Best travel stroller for Europe"

Yep! Yoyo is the answer! Got it before a Europe trip and it’s so great. A couple trips ago I forgot it at home and spent the first afternoon buying a used one on fb marketplace. My baby, now toddler, has always napped great in it and it’s light enough I could haul stroller and baby up and down stairs solo. Side note, if you’re planning a Europe trip. Half the reason I prefer Europe to domestic US travel is skipping the car seat and taking trains/buses/metro/just walking everywhere! So I know the yoyo is compatible with some car seats but I never took advantage of that.

Thread: "Thoughts on the GB Pockit Air+All Terrain / GB Pockit+All Terrain"

The babyzen yoyo is another good choice. Why don’t you pick up a used GB and yo-yo off Facebook or one of the parent groups and give it a shot? Or at least show up to test them out. There might be physical stores you can try them too. Have the yoyo and love it. Perfect for us

Thread: "Best travel stroller that isn't $600?"

If you are doing a lot of air travel I would spend the extra cash for the Babyzen. It folds so small it fits in the overhead bins. And it is sturdy enough for cobblestones, etc. It is worth it.

Thread: "Travel Stroller Question: Ergobaby Metro+, Inglesina Quid or BabyZen Yoyo2"

Cruz is our every day stroller and we have the yo-yo for travel. Honestly I love it We’ve been on a half dozen flights now international and domestic. Every single one has made us gate check the stroller. We have the travel backpack case for it (highly recommend this accessory) and it’s never been an issue. It’s easy to fold down and can fit under the car stray/behind the drivers seat in our car so it is super handy for running errands. It’s light yet sturdy and I love the carry strap. Easy to maneuver and it’s definitely not an off-road stroller but can do fine on cobblestones or streetcar tracks. It reclines enough that he’s napped in the stroller. Sometimes we fold the top back and use it as a makeshift high chair. The downside is for the price you still need to purchase a lot of the accessories that would come standard otherwise. We did get the leg rest and travel bag and for us those are must haves. All in all I am happy with our purchase

Thread: "Yoyo3 newborn pack or bassinet"

I got the yoyo stroller when my little one was 3mo. I was able to use the infant pack for about 1.5-2 more months. It depends on the size of your little one. I liked using it for naps when I was visiting a friend’s home. I liked the infant pack except that it has straps on the inside that took me a little while to get used to. Sometimes I would put my little one down and trying to buckle him up would startle him awake. I have not personally used the hard shell bassinet. It doesn’t have the straps on the inside like the infant pack, and it does not fold with the stroller.

Also worth a mention is that the Yoyo pushchair handle is shorter and sits lower to the ground. My husband did not find it comfortable to use

Thread: "Travel Stroller Question: Ergobaby Metro+, Inglesina Quid or BabyZen Yoyo2"

I have and love the metro+ and have used the yoyo, agree with all the above, but have gotten used to how it opens. I put my skip hop organizer on it for my phone keys water etc. The basket is also pretty decent! I keep it in the car for running around. In regards to flights, it depends on the plane. It was too big to cabin check for WestJet, one domestic AC flight I recently did it was fine, then return it was a different plane. Bear in mind that even if technically it’ll fit, if it’s a full flight they’ll make you gate check it. You may want to consider the new upgraded metro+ that was recently released, it has some of the lux touches like the belly bar, bigger basket and I think a cup holder if that is important to you.

Thread: "Any parents using a Travel stroller for everyday use?"

I’ve only just now starting bringing it on flights. I’ve done maybe 3-4 flights with it so far and have been able to fit it in the overhead. Flight attendants usually aren’t familiar with it so sometimes they push back but I just say “it’s the same size as the yoyo and fits overhead!”

Thread: "Baby Yo-yo2, bugaboo butterfly or joolz aer?"

I had the yo-yo for 5 years and got rid of it for the joolz aer for my second child. The two handed fold of the yo-yo is a pain IMO. Mainly because the second step requires you to reach down and under a bar. So you have to hold onto the child, while crouching down on the floor to fold the stroller up. Butterfly is heavier than the joolz and yo-yo.

Thread: "Travel strollers"

I also did a ton of research and am so glad I went with the Aer+. I tried out the Yoyo, Butterfly & Trvl in a store, and I just like the Aer better (there were no stores that carried it in my area, so I just had to order it and hope for the best). The steering is so smooth, and the fold is really easy. Honestly, my only regret is that I bought an expensive travel system to be my "main" stroller, and now I never use it because the Aer+ is just so convenient.

Thread: "Thoughts on the babyzen yoyo bassinet (as opposed to the newborn nest)?"

We have the yoyo + bassinet as our everyday pram and love it! We used the bassinet over the newborn nest as we felt it was more sturdy and we could be used independently without the pram. The bassinet has a good cover which was great for blocking out sunlight and wind, it also has a thicker mattress over the newborn nest. The only downside was that it took up some space in the boot but I guess it is a short lived phase before bubs moves to the pram seat. If you don’t mind second hand ones, we bought ours on Fb marketplace. I’ve seen them priced at $200-300. The mattress has a cover that is washable which was very handy.

No advice on the nuna but I can assure you the yo-yo isn’t flimsy, ours has been dropped and knocked over more times than I can remember and it’s still going strong after 2 years. It’s a real workhorse! You can actually buy off-brand hood/seat covers from AliExpress that turns it into a completely flat laying stroller.

Do you have a Nordstrom near you? I’d highly recommend going in person to try them out. We preferred the Butterfly over the yoyo but you might feel differently.

Thread: "Nuna trvl review"

I’ve got the nuna trvl - it’s solid and great as a day to day pram (particularly if you have a small car) as well as a travel pram. The one handed fold down is great and it comes with all the accessories / has pretty decent basket storage. The lie flat works well for sleep - the seat is probably not as straight up as standard prams. But (big but) it does not fit on a plane (they might tell you it could; but you can tell it’s bigger than other travel prams eg yo-yo etc). You’ll need to gate check it or check it in. Ultimately this hasn’t been a problem for me (the pram has gone on multitudes of short and long haul rides and still going strong) but I didn’t realise it when I bought it.

Bugaboo butterfly is for sure better than the minu, yoyo, nano, etc. It can be folded with one hand, has the best canopy and basket, smooth push and maneuvering, and more. Hopefully there’s a baby gear store near you where you can see them together in person since the difference is quite significant.

Hi, I bought the Aer+ recently too and am looking forward to using it! My baby is only 6 weeks so she’s still too small without the bassinet feature. What age was your little one when you started using it?

Thread: "Travel Stroller Help!"

We have the Joolz Aer and debated all the ones you were considering. It has fit in the overhead bin for us without issue. The bottom basket isn’t huge, but I think it’s better than the YoYo if I’m remembering right. We put a diaper bag down there, so it’s at least useable. I thought the upright position of the YoYo was a bit too reclined as well. Ultimately the dealbreaker was that my husband found the Joolz to be most comfortable and to use (he’s 6’4). Other things we like about the Joolz: very lightweight, one-hand fold is super easy, great warranty. When we’re home, we keep it in our trunk for quick trips out to the mall, etc. and keep our Uppababy Vista for neighborhood walks.

Yoyo hands down!! Get it new or used, no regrets. We basically use it as our every day stroller as well since it is so easy to pack down and take out.

Thread: "Please share any recommendations for a travel stroller ? "

I bought the yoyo when it was The Travel Stroller but there’s lots of options now. It is far and away the most common one I’ve seen in European cities, and it’s by no means bad, but it has a kinda fiddly fold and a slouchy seat that I don’t love. Super tiny though! I usually end up packing it into a checked bag and having kid in car seat on a roller for in the airport, since we prefer to have the kid in their own seat and will need a car seat when we arrive. I have put it in the overhead compartment though, and it fit beautifully. You can even push it down the aisle with the kid in it though that is a bit more trouble than it’s worth to be honest.
