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
FTM and I just got a convertible car seat (Graco 4 in 1) and travel stroller (yoyo3) with newborn and standard packs. Works for me. I don't mind unclipping baby to put him in the stroller or a carrier for errands.
Love my vista 2! Bubs is one now and we go out everyday for walks. The basket is amazing for doing short grocery runs or just over packing to go out to places. It is heavy and it hardly fit in the hatchback, so we upgraded to mid size suv and it’s much easier to take in and out of the car now. I do have a smaller pram (yoyo3) which lives in the car now. Very happy both prams and use them both a lot. Would highly recommend getting them of FB marketplace
I am very happy with our Yoyo3, but the Joolz Aer+ or Aer2 seem great and have a better fold. I love the compactness of the Yoyo and ease of carrying it. I don’t mind the fold, but it’s a lot clunkier than some others. The Butterfly 2 is a beautiful stroller but was too heavy/bulky by comparison. The Yoyo basket is a bit awkward to stuff things in, but the extra pockets in the back of the seat are so great and more useable than some other brands’.
I love the Bugaboo Butterfly as a lightweight stroller and it has a larger basket than the Yoyo. One thing I'll say about the Uppababy Minu is that when it's folded, the bottom of the seat faces out and gets exposed to the outside (if that makes sense) so I feel like it's easier for it to get dirty. The Bugaboo and Babyzen Yoyo fold towards the inside, so the seat fabric is protected. In terms of deals, all 3 strollers on sale Bloomingdale's and they have a gift card promo. When you stack that with Rakuten cashback, you can get these are prices better than used on FB Marketplace! If you are a new Rakuten user, use my [referral link](http://www.rakuten.com/r/NCHENS?eeid=28187) and you get additional $50 off your first purchase (I'll remove if not allowed!). Rakuten cashback gets approved within a few weeks and then deposited to your bank account. You have to use the Bloomingdale's gift card by 1/1/26 or else you forfeit 85% of the value, I usually just use on baby gear accessories (high chair, car seat) or something for myself :) [Babyzen Yoyo 3](https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/stokke-yoyo-stroller-from-6-months?ID=5909818&CategoryID=3866&swatchColor=Black%20on%20Black) \- on sale for $399 - $75 gift card - $60 cashback = $264, 47% off original price, additional $50 off if using Rakuten for the first time - beats some FB marketplace prices [Uppababy Minu](https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/uppababy-minu-v3-stroller?ID=5401409&CategoryID=3866&swatchColor=%20Greyson%20-%20Charcoal%20M%C3%A9lange%20|%20Carbon%20Frame%20|%20Saddle%20Leather) \- $499 - $100 Bloomingdale's gift cards - $75 Rakuten cashback = $324 + tax (you get additional $50 off if you're new to Rakuten and sign up with my [referral link](http://www.rakuten.com/r/NCHENS?eeid=28187)) [Bugaboo butterfly 2](https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/bugaboo-butterfly-2-complete?ID=5555194&CategoryID=3866&swatchColor=Black) \- ends up being $334 (originally $599); It's on sale for $539 - $125 Bloomingdale's gift card - $80 Rakuten cashback = $334+ tax
I have a 4 year old as well I have used yoyo3 around tokyo, osaka, kyoto and fukuoka without any issues.
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.
We got the Yoyo3 and love it but honestly just keep using the Cruz. Also in LA and the sidewalks are awful. Our kiddo hates it when we bring the travel stroller. Mainly use it for flying and road trips. Once the bassinet stage is over it really isn’t a big deal.
