Which one? Our YoYo handles and hood folds down so the back twin can see everything. Great piece of engineering.
We have a front to back YoYo for our twins. We travel a bit so folds up nicely overhead. We have gone from bassinets to seats now. It's great. The hood and handles on the front one folds down so the back twin can see everything.
My husband won’t let me buy a fourth stroller LOL! I have a double chariot we’ve had since #2 was born (for biking and running), a single for walking/running that we’ve had for 3 years, and double YoYo for travel. They’re so different than I don’t think it’s excessive. I would love a double running stroller but my husband is right the chariot is OK for it. Thing is, there’s so much hassle to having little kids that if something makes hauling them around 10% easier I want it… Most people with little kids have at LEAST two strollers though, your and my 3 aren’t excessive imo.
This was a week ago but just in case: I LOVE our Yo-yos for my 1.5 and 3.5 year old, used it a lot for travel during their lives, but the main thing is that you don’t have to gate check. Once you have to gate check, the size becomes a moot point for your scenario which is just airport use and a market one day. I did travel with my big running stroller once before we had the yo-yos and it was fine. It’s a bit like picking a checked in luggage at that point, smallness isn’t that important. I will say I think even with gate check they get banged around a bit, I felt it really didn’t drive nearly as smooth even with some maintenance done on it, so I wouldn’t check in my favorite stroller.
I have a Yoyo and a Yoyo Connect, which converts the Yoyo into a double. Best of both worlds!
We’re in London and love our yoyo. In our part of town every second pram you see is a yoyo! Great for going in and out of shops/cafes/the bus. Really easy to chuck in the car as well. We also used the baby carrier a lot in the early days, probably more than the pram until he got heavier! We’ve no regrets at all, though it is a bit bumpier than the bigger prams and I have a friend who didn’t get on with it for this reason. As for prams v carrier, it will really just depend on your baby I’m afraid! I see other people on this thread whose babies didn’t like being in the carrier but I know plenty of people whose babies preferred carrier to pram! Our thinking was that that we’ll be using this pushchair for the first few years of their life and as we only wanted to buy one the yoyo just made the most sense for our lifestyle.
We have the bugaboo dragonfly as an every day pram. It folds with one button and is relatively compact as far as a whole pram goes. It does really well on all terrain. We also bought the YoYo for travelling and sort of walking around bigger cities which is great but definitely not a stroller for a forest walk.
I only have experience with the Yoyo. I bought it because of the issue you mentioned of all of the other ones not actually fitting within the baggage guidelines, I didn’t want to risk it getting taken away and not having it for layovers. Whenever I fly they ask if it’s a yoyo and when I say yes just wave me through. I’ve never had an issue with it coming on a plane with me both to/around Europe and internationally to Australia.
Which airline is it wider than? It fits within the guidelines of everything I checked when I bought it a year ago, but maybe I just haven’t flown that airline
I current have the babyzen YO-YO but i’ve traveled with it twice and can confirm I very much dislike it 🙃 would love one that’s lightweight, very compact travel stroller to use during europe! Do not want to use my main full size stroller. I’ve been looking at the Nuna trvl, uppababy minu v3, Joolz Aer 2, bugaboo butterfly, and the mompush. If the storage basket is pretty roomy that would be a plus!
okay good to know about the wheels on the butterfly! I’ll cross that off my list. In regards to the Yoyo, wheels are not durable, the side part where the adapter click completely broke off, storage basket is extremely small which I can expect from a compact stroller but i’ve still seen some that had bigger storage space, the canopy is also really small and doesn’t cover anything or give off shade and the seat is hard to adjust.
We use the babyzen yo-yo and it’s been great for travel - airport, resort, off resort!
I don’t mind the uppababy Cruz although my go to stroller for short trips/convenience is the babyzen yo-yo. It folds super easily, compact and litterally fits it tight spaces like doctor offices, elevators etc easily. I found after 6 months, I used that stroller more for outings and I used the uppababy for family walks!
