The Babyzen Yoyo+ was purposely designed for fast-paced urban parents to take the stress out of navigating clogged up city streets, and maneuvering around tricky subways. And it does this without any struggles.
Measuring 7″L x 17″W x 20″H when fully collapsed, the Yoyo+ automatically unseats the Mountain Buggy Nano that is 20″L x 22″W x 12″H when folded to become the smallest stroller that I have seen so far.
The Babyzen Yoyo+ was designed with the aim of making flights completely hassle-free. And the fact that it does fit in most airplane overhead lockers is just a telltale of how tiny it is. Its ability to fit in almost any small car’s trunk and even in your car’s rear seat footwell is actually its key selling point.
It is unbelievably lightweight too at 14 pounds. But what’s more interesting is that you can carry it over your shoulder with a detachable shoulder strap that it ships with.
Nothing changes in terms of width when the stroller is fully opened. So, weaving your way through narrow shopping aisles and going through standard doorways is super breezy.
Unlike its previous versions, the new Yoyo+ has been updated to accommodate your kid right from birth. To enjoy this luxury, however, you’ll need to purchase the Yoyo+ Newborn Pack.
Another important update that most parents can help raving about this stroller is its ability to convert into a compatible travel system. At each side of the frame are 2 white buttons that allow you to clip on particular infant car seats provided you have the right adapters. These car seats are Babyzen iZi Go Modular (this one comes with the adapters), Nuna Pipa, Cybex Aton Q, Maxi-Cosi Mico AP, and Bebe Comfort Pebble and Pebble+.
This stroller’s seat (dubbed the 6+ Color Pack) is meant for babes who can comfortably sit on their own- usually at around 6 months. For such a small stroller, one would expect the seat to be notably smaller than what we are used to with the conventional gargantuan strollers.
While this partially true, the seat is still very roomy boasting a width of 14 inches and an 18-inch high seat back. This seat has been designed to accommodate kids until they are around 40 pounds (averagely 4 years) and has a pretty tall canopy, 26’’, to cater to taller toddlers.
This seat is blessed with a 5-point harness system with shoulder pads and 3 adjustable height positions so it practically grows with the rider. Getting the child in and out of the seat is a breeze too since both the waist straps and the shoulder straps are released by a single press of a red button.
Although it does not offer a fully flat recline, this seat has a notably deeper recline enough for most kids to nap.
Is it easy to maneuver?
The small wheels on this stroller signify that it is meant for city surfaces. While it is endowed with a 4-wheel suspension system to make smooth pavements feel much smoother, the wheels will struggle a lot on badly cracked pavements. This is a city buggy, so don’t expect it to take well to mud too.
The handle is not adjustable and this might not sound so good to most of us. But it’s quite tall at 42’’ and should, therefore, accommodate both short and tall parents with ease.
What do previous parents have to say about it?
It’s nothing but positive feedback and a high rating for the Babyzen Yoyo+ around the internet. As expected, one thing that most people can’t stop raving about is its small size both when folded and opened.
Most parents appreciate that it fits almost anywhere including the tightest store aisles, narrow sidewalks and standard doors. Others highlight its lightweight design, large basket (60% bigger than with the previous model), and the fact that it can be wheeled with a single hand.
On the other hand, there are a few who feel that the price of this stroller is way too high for what it offers.
Pros
- Very light
- Easy to push with one hand
- Most compact
- Fits in the tightest corners
- Folds with one hand
- 4-wheel suspension system for smoother riders
Cons
- Quite pricey
- Not the best for off-road
