1030

Seems to be ATL on OzBargain, fit airline carbin.

Description
The Babyzen YOYO² is now, more than ever, THE absolute must-have stroller to make life as a parent as easy as possible.

With YOYO², Babyzen has improved the technology of their iconic stroller, without changing its DNA, which is still and will always be spectacularly easy to fold and unfold, compact and amazingly lightweight.

When folded, it is so compact that it no longer resembles a stroller, but believe us, it is! It is so easy to fold and unfold that parents are guaranteed a weightless and stress-free experience, making their lives so much easier, every day.

From birth, you can switch from the 0+ newborn nest (sold seperately), stylish rear-facing stroller, to a compatible car seat. From 6 months, on the same frame, simply change to your 6+ fabrics and your stroller will accompany your child to early childhood… You can find the complete Babyzen YOYO² stroller with Newborn Nest here.

What are the differences between YOYO+ and YOYO²?
YOYO has a new look and evolves into YOYO² with a new reinforced frame, improved independent suspensions on all 4 wheels and a new handlebar in faux leather with a tether strap. It now has a new universal buckle design, new harness strap more pleasant to the touch and a new tool-free reversible backrest. Still just as lightweight and compact, YOYO² has double the agility and ingenuity to make your life even easier!

Can YOYO² still be taken onboard a plane?
Yes! The dimensions of the folded YOYO² stroller (52 x 44 x 18 cm) are equal to or less than most airlines cabin luggage allowance. It's a revolution for traveling parents. The tip is to carry YOYO in its travel bag, sold as an accessory, or in the protective bag already supplied.

Does YOYO² have the same weight?
Yes, 6.2 kg for the 6 month+ version and 6.6 kg for the 0+ version. A record for an all-in-one city stroller that can be upgraded from birth onwards!

What is the maximum weight supported by YOYO²?
YOYO² is designed to accommodate a child weighing up to 22 kg

        Oh.
        Shellharbour has stock 😁

  • +9

    Now I just need a baby

  • +1

    This is a great price for one.

    Note: Yoyo 3 has been released - although there was a recall on it (due to an issue with the brake, from memory). Not sure what is happening with that.

  • +1

    These prams are great.

    Fits in overhead lockers.

  • +4

    I have this one and love it. Very easy to take apart and machine wash the fabric. Only complaint is that you need both hands to fold it, because there is two release buttons on each side of the pram.

    • +2

      I've mostly been able to put baby somewhere else so I have two hands free, but in the very few times I've needed to do it one handed, I've folded down the canopy with baby still in the pram, got baby out and then with a bit of luck and some momentum am able to fold it with one hand. Definitely a bit of a pain though.

      • +3

        This is the way.
        2 hands to press the handle bar down. Pick up baby, 1 hand nunchuck flick fold.

  • I know a lot of parents rave about the yoyo, but can someone chime in on the wheels? They look small and flimsy… Are they good for all terrains aside from city use?

    • Took to Canada recently, it's not great off road but good in city. I have yoyo+ though not 2

    • They arent the best for all terrain use - but fwiw, we used one on our trip to Vietnam (which doesnt have the best sidewalks!).

    • Folds up very small and proficient on most surfaces. Storage isn't huge but can hold one reasonable sized bag.

      There's a bugaboo stroller out also that is quite good and goes a bit bigger, but not as small and compact. Need to weight up the two and cost I guess but I love our stroller and it goes in the car without fuss

    • They are well built and wouldn't brake easily, but the ride is clunky anywhere that's not super smooth. I took our child in one recently just around an inner city block hoping I could get them to sleep, and the ca-clunk, ca-clunk, ca-clunk every time you go over sidewalk cement joins is not great.

      Our main pram is a bugaboo (had a fox, now have a donkey) and the ride of the bugaboo is ridiculously smooth in comparison, but they're a beast of a thing and not designed for extreme portability.

      Would highly recommend the Yoyo as a second pram for travel and to keep in the car.

      • I do exactly this, have a donkey and a yoyo. It's great for quick trips to the shops when I cbf getting the donkey in and out of the car.

  • +1

    Great pram for travel use
    most airline staff knows YoYo they don't even ask to weight or measure the size

  • This is a great stroller for travel as its lightweight, fits easier than many more bulky and more expensive strollers. Got the earlier model just for travel and domestic flights. Worked like a charm!

  • +2

    To be honest, we could gate check a normal stroller and they would have it either on the gate when we exit, or in oversized/fragile once we picked up the luggage. The yoyo is great to take on board. The mclaren accordian fold up was sturdier and easier to get around in mixed terrain.

    For really small kids, a sling is better and easier. Especially in crowded places. We did mainly international flights (Asia, Africa, Europe).

    After 3+, the kids should be able to walk.

    ymmv

    • QANTAS check-in agent in SYD refused to let us gate check our stroller. It was a Valcobaby somewhat-lightweight pram we bought specifically for overseas travel. She wouldn't budge. Every other flight (Qantas at LAX, Finnair, AA) they were totally fine with it.

      It wasn't fun trying to kill 3 hours with a tired toddler, we were banking on him napping in the pram for most of it. The flimsy loaner pram was terrible.

      So I just bought this now, as we are expecting another baby and will again be travelling to Europe with a toddler + 4 year old.

      If it fits in overhead surely they'll be happy

  • -4

    What's the advantage of this over the one in Aldi? Help the kids walk earlier n faster ?

    • +7

      Gets them into brands earlier in life. By two they'll be asking for a iPhone Pro Max.

  • My friend with kids says he likes the Aer+ better, can someone confirm?

    • +28

      I can confirm your friend likes the Aer+ better.

      • -2

        I can confirm that other ozbargainers below also prefer the Aer+.

    • +1

      I dont have an Aer, but yes, it does have some advantages over the Yoyo, like much easier one-handed fold.

      To me, I think Aer and Yoyo are the two best options I would consider.

      Our big pram is a Joolz. Aer wasnt around when we bought our first Yoyo, but I might have bought it instead. When we bought our second Yoyo, I did consider getting an Aer instead (and have one of each) - but ended up choosing to stick with another Yoyo, and bought one second hand off marketplace (cheaper than a secondhand Aer, because there are more Yoyos around).

      One thing I dont like about the Aer is that the folding mechanism latch is in the centre of the handle - I push one-handed often (most of the time probably), and I find it more awkward on the Aer, because of that bulky latch on the middle. YMMV.

      Best advice is to check them both out in store for yourself, and see what suits you preferences.

      • One hand fold would be a game changer. I have the Baby Jogger City or something, folding is OK but not great. If I got a new lightweight pram I would be looking for the easiest one to fold and unfold.

    • +1

      I compared the two and got the Aer+ and don't regret it - felt far better made. The Yoyo has great marketing as I see them everywhere!

      • Thank you.

    • +1

      We love our Joolz Aer.

      • Did you also buy the bumper bar and foot rest?

  • +2

    Have a city tour 2 and much prefer it over this. Used overseas on several trips and airlines and never had an issue as carry on. This stroller has so many compromises to make it small. Not the biggest seat, limited recline basically no storage for anything, cumbersome 2 hand fold, expensive. It is definitely very small and light though but other strollers like a City Tour 2, Joolz Aer+ are just a bit more practical. If price isn't a concern the bugaboo butterfly is the best stroller by far.

    • I 100% agree! Butterfly is THE BEST!

    • Isn't the butterfly same price as aer+?

  • Well worth it(or at least the style of stroller)- I bought a knock off because it was assumed it wouldn't be used much. This was wrong - after getting this, we stopped putting our larger stroller in the car.

    It's also been travelling with us without issue in a knock off travel bag. It was easy to put into overhead lockers.

    • hey mate, are you able to link to your knock off?

      • I purchased it on eBay 3.5 years ago. Our one has "baby grace" on the side, which was not shown in the description.

        It is probably obvious, but keep in mind all the usual caveats if buying such an item.

  • +1

    Said it before and I’ll say it again. If you want a travel pram, this is it. Tried and tested overseas for four months straight. Worth its weight in gold!

    • -6

      Travel and little kids?
      Just doing the same thing in a different location making it more difficult.

      Put it off until theyre a little older.

      I have a 20month old and 3.5 yr old. I would only be considering o/seas travel when the littlest one is at least 3. Just too hard otherwise. Mid day naps, nappies, lunchboxes, nappy bag, prams… too hard, too much gear required.

      • +6

        Disagree completely. Took our 8-month old overseas for 3 months and had a blast! Couldn’t have been better. Egypt, Middle East, Europe

        Doing another 3-month trip next year. Europe and Northern Africa. Will be taking our then 3-year old and an 8 month old. Can’t wait!

        • +3

          Took our 8 month old to Japan and it was a blast. So many people told us it would be hell, and some of it was difficult, but I wouldn’t change a thing.

          • +4

            @JeffNuts: The same people who told me it would be hell are the ones who seem to struggle to keep their head above water in the first place. Seems more of a them problem than a kid problem

          • +1

            @JeffNuts: Been to Japan like 10 times and last yr was our first with our toddler.

            was the struggles the stares from the locals when the baby cries?

            I honestly love japan but the culture shock for me was there attitude towards toddlers/babies that really shocked me.

            • @tkboi: I think it depends where you go.

              People in Tokyo, especially older people couldn’t stop staring and smiling when on the trains, even if crying. Some would even try and pull funny faces to get a smile. Baby and wife are ranga though, so I think that’s extra interesting for them too. Pretty much the same vibe in Hiroshima and Osaka. The only time I noticed someone get really annoyed was on the Narita Express back to the airport, it was late at night and baby was tired but refused to sleep and it was a bit of an ordeal, but we got through it.

              Kyoto was noticeably different, with locals not giving us the best looks and certainly ignoring baby more. I think that’s kind of how Kyoto locals are to a lot of tourists though, so I didn’t think much of it.

              What was your experience?

              • @JeffNuts: I think the further out you get from the main cities like Tokyo and Osaka, the more you get the stares,

                Tokyo and Osaka was relatively okay, but i just think thats due to the sheer volume of people/tourists in those cities.

                Hiroshima i also had the same experience as yourself while i was in Kyoto, alot more stares.

                Luckily i never got anyone annoyed to the point where they approcahed us but yeah the stares do get annoying, for my wife she just ignores it, for myself i was getting extremely frustrated.

                I think the best way around it is going via taxi and not eat at resturants lol (atleast small ones)

      • +2

        Depends on the parents/kidw really. May as well get a trip in before you have to pay for a extra plane fare.

        You'll just have a different set of problems with a older kid.

        Younger kids are easier in many respects - tired? Into the stroller/carrier.

      • travelled with baby at 8 months and 12 months. not easy but still doable. you just have to adjust your activities and time it right and be flexible.

      • also completely disagree. took our 1.5 yr old to Singapore for a week and absolutely no issues on the flight. Not too much gear required either, we had our travel size pram, small bags to keep things in. Naps were either in the pram or in my arms.

      • +1

        Completely agree.

  • We have had a Yoyo2 for about 18 months now, fantastic travel pram, highly recommended. It doesn't do offroad particularly well, but if you keep to the footpath/indoors it is completely fine.

    I bought the official travel bag for it, but it was too heavy and bulky, so just used the slip it comes with when taking it onboard the plane.

  • I've taken it to Melbourne and Japan. Very easy and compact. We still use it at home when going for quick trips to the shops, so easy to fold and is so compact.
    Bonus that you can take it as carry on with pretty much all airlines.

  • +1

    Is it really normal to spend $500 plus on strollers? I am going to be a second time parent after 7 years and the first one just did fine in the $100 stroller

    • I think most people get this for travel, at least from the people I've spoken to. Compact and one of the only ones almost guaranteed to get in the overhead locker without any issue. People even rent these out of FB Marketplace for travel.

    • Pretty standard. My stroller has also an approved overnight bassinet. Is so convenient!!

    • Pretty normal. Many people we know spent a lot on a stroller and kids stuff in general.

      We got a hand me down which was a bit big for what we wanted and later got a more compact $50 stroller from marketplace.

      Also got a knock off version of this but would have considered buying either second have or on special if we knew how much it would have been used.

    • Prob normal but seems to go higher than 500 these days to keep up with trends

      The Maxi Cosi Laika pram I got on here for ~80 does the job for us so ymmv

    • We wanted something light and easy to fold. We found that cheap strollers are generally neither of those two things. Got a Bugaboo Dragonfly with bassinet and we love it.

  • How does it compare to Safe-n-Sound Move EZ Stroller https://amzn.asia/d/hjj3FOn

    • +1

      Safe-n-Sound Move EZ is larger than this. I have it and it works fine as a day-to-day stroller but may not fit in the overhead cabin.

    • +1

      We have the MOve EZ and it is great.
      Inexpensive, even lighter than the yoyo, wide seat for the kid and a huge canopy.
      Only downside is that it doesn't fold down into carry on luggage size.

  • save yourself money and get this. bought mine for $165
    https://amzn.asia/d/6vRBARH

    we used it extensively for our Europe trip and fit easily in overhead cabin in flights

    after we came back, sold it easily on fb marketplace for $150

  • Got one at baby bunting last week for $479 using my 15% off GC I got.

  • There's levels to the pram game, and Yoyo are the peak. I have to look away watching dad's struggle putting other brands into their cars or overhead in planes.

  • +1

    I agree with all the stellar reviews of the yoyo. They're built super strong but still quite light. It's great as a daily not just for travel, especially if you have a small car or can't lift a large heavy pram. My only warning is the basket is quite small and is obstructed by the lower sub frame. Attachments can be found 2nd hand or knock off's are decent for the price.

    • we have both a cruz v2 and the yoyo and tbh we don't use the cruz v2 that much now the yoyo is much easier to lug around in the car. it's not as sturdy so if you do a lot of walking on uneven ground/parks I'd go with a heavier pram with larger wheels but really can't complain with the yoyo as a travel pram. collapsing it takes a little getting used to but once you're used to it it's second nature

  • The Yoyo is a great pram. Remember to bring the storage bag if taking it on the plane. I can steer the pram one handed and it glides on smooth surfaces (inside a shopping centre and airport etc). Both my girls still sit in it together (little sis on big sis lap). They’re 5 & 8 so over 40kgs.

    I don’t rate the attachment behind at the back so big sis can sit or stand on the platform because I’m always kicking the wheel.

    Overall having this pram on travels has been great. Especially from when you’re off the plane and need to get through Customs (so many times the officers see the pram and we are directed to the shorter queue for elderly, wheelchairs etc).

    • also useful for transporting carry on luggage when the kids dont want to sit in it

  • Such a bargain snatched one, dont even need it great little trolly for my shopping grocery's

  • hello all, just be careful, the YoYo failed safety testing as mentioned here: mouthsofmums(mouthsofmums.com.au)
    "BabyZen YoYo Not recommended — failed safety test

    From Choice(choice.com.au)
    • Failed safety test: When the harness straps are in their longest and shortest settings, loops created pose a potential strangulation hazard.
    • Failed safety test: The head barrier is inadequate to prevent the child falling out the back of the stroller.
    • Minor safety failure: The harness straps are positioned such that there are large gaps which may make a smaller child less secure.
    • No front bar or tray
    • The harness straps might not be long enough to fit a bigger child"

  • This is also an Xbox.

  • Thanks OP, bought one. Having been forced to check our pram last we travelled by stubborn QANTAS agent, this seems a good investment for our next RTW trip

  • +2

    Take a look at Reds Baby Skip stroller. On sale for $360.00. We have taken our Reds Baby all over the world & never had an issue with placing it in the overhead lockers or on uneven roads. The Reds baby also reclines & has an adjustable footrest for sleeping which is great for sleeping babies when travelling. When I see people pushing the Yoyo around, children always seem to look so uncomfortable when sleeping.

    • +1

      Agreed, I have the Skip2 and I reckon it looks like a significantly better product than the Yoyo. The recline functionality is awesome.

  • Expecting our first child in few months.

    Can I consider this + the bassinet/new born package as my full time pram? Would it be comfortable? Is it practical with infant/baby car seat?

    Or I'm I better off with 2 prams?

    Alternatives and suggestions would be appreciated :) Thank you!

    • +2

      Yes, lots of people use Yoyos as a main/daily pram. We have a bigger pram, which we use for local walks, or when we know we are going somewhere very "offroad". But use our Yoyos 90% of the time. Like many, we bought a Yoyo as a travel pram, and ended up enjoying the convenience that it became our main pram. Common story!

      So yes, you definitely could use it as your only pram.

      Is it comfortable? It's fine. It's not going to be AS comfortable for the child, or AS comfortable to push on uneven ground as a larger pram with larger wheels. It's more of a chore to push them over tan-bark, or even grass or gravel trails, than a larger pram would be. But that's the trade-off you have to deal with. You definitely can - its just not best suited for off-road/all-terrain use. But our kids sit/sleep in them just fine, and have never complained about preferring the larger pram. (On occasion, we would have preferred having the larger pram to handle the terrain - but it's never been a major deal, and the Yoyo has always been manageable.)

      Is it practical? Absolutely! The practicality of such a compact (both compact to pack in the car, and compact to manoeuvre around shops or fit at the table at cafes, etc) is precisely why we use it as our main pram. In terms of ease of use, which is what I assume you mean - it's pretty similar to other prams. They all have their quirks. Eg. The two stage fold is more awkward than prams with one-handed fold - but it's not a big deal, and most larger prams are just as cumbersome. The basket is smaller and more awkward to use than one on a large pram, and the newborn nest (soft folding bassinet, which we prefer to the hard bassinet) is smaller and a bit more awkward to take the baby in and out of, because it's much smaller, and the hood doesn't fold out of the way. But it's also far lighter and easier to carry or chuck into the car than a large pram, and the nest can be folded with the pram instead of having to remove it, which is awesone…so yeah: it's just compromise and trade-offs. For us, those trade-offs are clearly worth it!

      Better off with 2 prams? We have found having 2 prams (large one for off-road and local walks which dont benefit from compactness, Yoyo for daily use or travel pram) a nice luxury to have, if you can afford it. But you can certainly make do without it.

      I personally would buy a secondhand "big pram" and a secondhand Yoyo/Aer, rather than buying just one pram new. (We bought big pram from Marketplace, our first Yoyo new, and second Yoyo from Marketplace. In hindsight, I would have bought them all off Marketplace!)

      Hope that helps!
