Choosing the perfect stroller is a crucial decision for parents, and at least in my side of the world, whenever I am in a public park there seems to be a LOT of Yoyos. In this blogpost I will look into the stunning Babyzen Yoyo2, a real life review for anyone who is in the market for a stroller. This review will be based on my own family’s real life experiences. Here we go!
Overview:
The Babyzen Yoyo2 is a compact and innovative stroller designed for modern, on-the-go families. Known for its portability and adaptability, the Yoyo2 has gained popularity as a travel-friendly option that doesn’t compromise on features.
Key Features
Compact Design
The Yoyo2 is celebrated for its compact fold, making it one of the most portable strollers on the market. Ideal for families with limited space or frequent travelers, its foldable design allows for easy storage in tight spaces.
Lightweight and Maneuverable
Weighing in at a mere 13 pounds, the Yoyo2 is remarkably lightweight. This feature, combined with its nimble design, makes it effortless to maneuver through crowded streets, narrow aisles, and various terrains. If there is an obstacle in your way, it is easy to pick up with your child is strapped inside, and carry to the desired destination.
Travel System Compatibility
The Yoyo2 is compatible with various infant car seats, transforming it into a travel system. This adaptability ensures a seamless transition from car to stroller and back, catering to the needs of parents on the move.
Quality Construction
Despite its lightweight and compact design, the Yoyo2 doesn’t compromise on durability. Constructed with high-quality materials, it offers a sturdy and reliable platform for your child.
Great Accessories
Apart from the base model there are several accessories to improve your overall experience with the Yoyo. For instance, if you have an older child in need to be carried then the back board is great. If you need two seated positions for two children then the back seat Connect is a solution for a straight line push, or the side by side adapter. The Infant bassinette is a must for newborns in the family.
Limitations
While the Yoyo2 shines in portability, it may lack some features found in larger, full-sized strollers. The limited storage space and absence of a reversible seat might be considerations for families with specific needs. I have also found that the placement of the folding mechanism underneath the seat is a bit problematic. Definitively not deal breakers unless you really need to fold your stroller with one hand while standing up.
Real Life Situations
Here are some real life situations I have encountered with the Yoyo2, which I believe might be relevant for your evaluation. First, travelling in a plane is unparalleled with the Yoyo2. Nothing beats it. Once folded it fits perfectly in the overhead bins. Airport/Airline employees already know about the Yoyo and are often helpful to allow its entrance. Having your stroller by your side all the times during air travel is priceless. Second, having a compact stroller once folded is extremely helpful to fit inside your car’s trunk, or under any restaurant table. Also, being so compact allows you to push your stroller with your child inside strapped through many tight situations, as train hallways, busy restaurants, or any turnstile.
On the flip side, the sun protection of the Yoyo stroller is small. When walking under the summer sun my daughter’s legs are overly exposed, specially compared to other strollers as the Uppababy Vista. Also, as the philosophy of the Yoyo is its compact nature, its storage net underneath the seat is tiny. If you are planning on walking to the store to get groceries, then this stroller will not be of any help to carry your belongings.
Conclusion
The stunning Babyzen Yoyo2 emerges as a top choice in this real life review, for parents seeking a lightweight, compact, and travel-friendly stroller. Its innovative design and portability make it a standout option for urban dwellers and families with an active lifestyle. Consider your specific needs and lifestyle to determine if the Babyzen Yoyo2 is the perfect fit for you and your little one.
