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.
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.
Honestly, I got what was available. Somebody was selling a used Yoyo for like 220 usd with all the bells and whistles, so we just figured a stroller in hand… Was it the absolute omg best we could have? Probably not. But was it budget-friendly, available, and good enough? Yep! Sure, the basket is small and it doesn’t do so well over the less nicely paved streets of Tokyo, but it carries the baby and folds down with only a small hassle.
4 years old usually don’t need stroller anymore even going a flight. Yoyo is a good stroller if you need travel with the kid and it compatible with flight cabins requirement. For day to day life, like for a walk in park or museum, stroller below $100 usually can do the job. But we use Yoyo everywhere before 3.
