The Babyzen YOYO2: Is It Worth the Hype?
The Babyzen YOYO2: Is It Worth the Hype?
If you've ever walked through an international airport, you've seen it: the distinct white frame and colorful canopy of the Babyzen YOYO2. It's ubiquitous for a reason.
Travel with kids is stressful. Your stroller shouldn't be.
The Magic Fold
The primary selling point of the YOYO2 is its fold. It collapses into a package so small it is certified as carry-on luggage by most major airlines. This means no gate-checking, no waiting on the jet bridge, and no risk of baggage handlers breaking your expensive gear.
Performance on the Go
Unlike many "umbrella" strollers that feel rickety, the YOYO2 has a surprising amount of suspension. It handles cobblestones in Europe and cracked sidewalks in New York with equal aplomb.
Pros
- Overhead Bin Size: Fits in the overhead compartment of a plane.
- One-Hand Drive: You can push it easily with one hand while holding a coffee (or a toddler) in the other.
- Customizable: Swap out color packs or convert it to a newborn bassinet mode.
Cons
- Price: It's an investment.
- Storage: The under-seat basket is on the smaller side.
Conclusion
If you plan to travel by plane even once a year, the YOYO2 pays for itself in convenience. It changes the entire logistics of a family trip.
