Babyzen - YOYO³

I had a pram where baby was buckled in while lying flat when she was a newborn (Yoyo3 with newborn pack) and it was completely fine, she never had any issues. I actually liked it bc my pram steering sucks lol

Yoyo babyzen stroller (I think it’s called stokes now?) is the best. It’s pricey but it’s pretty useful. It’s compact, comfortable and can be taken as cabin bag in all flights (across airlines). [Mine lasted for 3.5years coz my kid decided he is too big for strollers now 😆] But as other comments have mentioned - unless the parents specifically know that you are giving a stroller, it’s better to give gift cards/cash (if that’s okay - like in my culture we do give cash directly) to them. Very useful for new parents to have that kind of flexibility to buy what they need.

I had a bunch of strollers and the minu was so smooth! I did have an issue with my daughters preschool letting us keep it there and didn’t love having to fold and carry so I keep my yoyo around as well…

I’m on year 10 of a 4 story walk up. My rent is so cheap and I love my neighborhood. The baby stuff goes fast! I never had a giant stroller and used a minu and yo-yo. I had a backpack that I was either wearing or under the stroller. I had groceries delivered or went without the baby(my fave!). It really depends on what you can tolerate. We also went and looked at 1 bedroom apts that were double the price and the numbers didn’t work.

Chiming in here too 😊 As the other poster said, the newborn pack is great for travel because it folds up. Bassinet needs to come off and get carried/stowed somewhere when stroller is folded. We found the bassinet at a consignment event for a whopping $25, so obviously had to pick it up. I really like the bassinet for going to restaurants because he doesn’t need to be clipped in. If he starts fussing, I can very quickly scoop him up vs. the newborn pack where you have to fiddle with the clips.

I think it’s more about head/neck control than size fit with these strollers. I was debating between these 3 strollers myself! I bought a yoyo3 because it’s super compact and should be cabin friendly, but it also has adapters for an infant car seat if we’re going anywhere before baby has better control of his neck or if we just have quick trips where we want to have a more nimble stroller while home.

I have a Nuna mixx next with a bassinet attachment for when I know we’re going on long adventures- park walks or out to a restaurant. I have a yoyo travel stroller with infant car seat attachments for quick errands- in and out of stores, doctors appts, etc. it’s a lot smaller than the big Nuna! I also just got a bob jogging stroller for when baby is big enough to accompany me on runs!

I have a Yoyo and a Yoyo Connect, which converts the Yoyo into a double. Best of both worlds!

Second hand yoyo worked for us

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.

Yep yoyo here too. Works pretty well in SF

mom of one with a second on the way -- If it markets itself as newborn ready, I think that recline should be fine. the "flat" idea is just so they dont slide around. don't get the metro+, unless they've made improvements I haven't seen to the canopy -- you'll want lots of shade for your newborn. i LOVE my original Minu (and would love the V2 even more), but the Joolz Aer is slightly more travel-friendly if that is important to you. It is small enough to bring into the airplane cabin if you're concerned about gate checking and is lighter/smaller. And you are smart to prioritize one-hand fold, that is crucial! And the reason I do NOT like the YoYo.

I actually have a yoyo for travel! I love it! My only complaint is the storage basket is pretty small! Otherwise it’s the best lol.

The vista is a beast, if you’ll be going in and out of the car a lot I’d consider something lighter! I ended up with 2 strollers, 1 light weight travel stroller we keep in the car (yoyo) and the vista which we use strictly for neighbourhood walks (all sidewalks), it’d do fine on dirt roads though. If you need all terrain (trails etc) I wouldn’t get the vista.

I’d look at the minu, city mini gt, Ergobaby metro, I’ve heard mixed things about the butterfly seat fabric. I personally have the yoyo in addition to my giant mammoth vista but it isn’t one hand fold, still love it though!

We love our yoyo! My 2.5 still fits great in it! Fits in the overhead bin (minu doesn’t fit in most I don’t think)
