Babyzen Yoyo

DISCONTINUED in 2016
see 2 parent reviews

The Babyzen Yoyo is the world’s first stroller accepted in the folded form as cabin luggage by most airline companies. Thanks to the width of only 43 cm and the Soft Drive System, the extraordinary compact chassis is easily maneuverable too. Quality wheels are equipped with a suspension system. Although Yoyo’s wheels don’t have a locking feature, according to the manufacturer, there is no need for it. Despite the small wheels, the stroller can handle even slightly uneven terrain. The Yoyo is, therefore, an excellent secondary stroller for travels. Combined with the newborn pack, it can handle even the role of a primary, urban stroller suitable from birth.

With a choice of a black or a white chassis, you combine a set of hood and textiles that you buy separately. The seat unit is forward-facing and can be reclined, but doesn’t have a lie-flat option. Therefore, the Yoyo in a conventional set up is suitable from 6 months upwards, or better yet, for children able to sit independently. By purchasing the Yoyo 0+ textile set, the Yoyo 6+ can be transformed into the Yoyo 0+ featuring a ‘reversed’ seat suitable from birth. The newborn pack also comes with a nest for the smallest babies with internal dimensions of 70 x 26 cm. The padded fabrics are fully washable. Pre-2014 models can be recognized by a missing pop-out visor on the hood.
