Stokke - YOYO³ double stroller

My boy outgrew the Yo-yo at 3/3.5m and we also bought a full recline stroller. Saved our asses lol

I started with a Stokke Yoyo then got a Cruz and it was the best decision I've made post baby lol. It handles well on footpaths and in shopping centres, decently on grass, I love the big basket (it fits SO much), I like the versatility of having the seat recline or sit up and parent/outward facing options, and it's sturdy but not so big I feel awkward taking it on public transport.

I started out with the Stokke Yoyo3 as my only pram (with the newborn pack) bc we live in a first floor with no lift apartment with not much space and I get public transport a lot. So it did make sense for us on paper but I ended up getting a secondhand Uppababy Cruz about 4 months in. The Yoyo is great and is awesome for getting around on public transport but I kind of wish I'd had the Cruz from the jump. I have to be so much more judicious with what I bring with the Yoyo bc there is very little storage (which makes sense obviously, it's a travel pram!) and if I'm taking a full size nappy bag I have to carry it, whereas with the Cruz I can throw everything in the basket and take bigger items like a picnic blanket. I just didn't factor in how much stuff I needed to lug around and honestly a big part of the reason I got another pram was just so I could put a pack of nappies in the basket which you can't really do with the Yoyo. I also like being able to talk and engage with my baby on walks when she's facing me, which isn't possible with the Yoyo for 6m+ as it only faces out. And the newborn pack was great at first bc she could lie flat and nap, but from about 4m she wanted to look out and look around so I'd constantly have to take her out. Plus it's just not the best for surfaces like grass, pebbles etc. All that said I genuinely do think the Yoyo is great lol, but it has worked much better as a second pram for me. I will say I rarely ever fold down the Cruz, the Yoyo now lives in our boot. If I were having to constantly fold it down into a car boot I might feel differently!

Having just purchased a travel stroller, we looked at the stokke yoyo, bugaboo butterfly, uppababy minu v3, silvercross jet 5, and joolz aer -- all comply with most overhead cabin sizing. I would recommend also purchasing the stroller case/carrier so it looks more like a standard carry-on. Some airline staff might make you gate-check regardless of size once they see that it is a stroller. Having the cover/case will reduce that issue.

We are also doing it again 7 years later! We just picked up adapters and a clek liing infant seat for a Yoyo, and are rolling without a travel system.

Facebook Marketplace. Ppl in switzerland have a lot of money and buy allll the items. Whenever I see smth I want, i first look at marketplace. I got my Stokke stroller, original price 1000-1500.- with all acessories, for 250.-. A suburban mom bought the whole shabam and never used it because her baby didnt want to be in it as a baby, and as soon as it walked, it didnt need it. So I got it for cheap, and brand new

I started my stroller journey by buying a highly recommended stroller and hating it... and ended up with multiple ones, which turned into testing over 100 models and reviewing them :) That said: NOT LOVING: Uppababy Vista - rides smooth, but too big and bulky Mockingbird - awful, scary with recalls, doesn't drive smoothly as all Cybex Orfeo - too flimsy Cybex Coya - where do I even begin with this bad fold GB Pockit - not worth your fingers Ergobaby Metro - too heavy for a travel stroller and unfold feels meh SummerInfant 3d quickclose - too good to be true, super flimsy Nuna TRVL - too short seat, too big to take into the cabin and too expensive for what it is Uppababy Minu - too big for a travel stroller model, weird bumper bar and flimsy canopy LOVING: Cybex Priam - amazing, especially the e-version. If I were to get a one full-size stroller this would be my top choice Stokke Yoyo3 - most well-known and guaranteed on board Joolz Aer - smooth ride, great accessories Joolz Hub2 - solid mid-size option Cybex Gazelle - good for 2 under 2 Bombi - good mid-size option Bugaboo Butterfly 2 - didn't like the first version, but these upgrades made it better Mamazing - good budget option Zoe Traveler - amazing canopy and solid stroller Inglesina Quid - cute solid compact stroller

Wrong sub…. But get the yo-yo lol. Abroad airlines know the yo-yo because it’s most popular stroller in Europe basically and will let it on plane for overhead bin. Other strollers overseas YMMV

You may want more than 1 pram here. My guess is given your requirements, a do-it-all pram might involve some unfortunate tradeoffs for portability, storage, manoeuvrability, etc. We do this: we have an Uppababy Cruz for day-to-day walking around the neighbourhood. We also have a Stokke Yoyo for the car. For your use, you might want a pram that can go offroad/trails (maybe a 3-wheeler?) for your property. Another everyday kind of pram for the car. And possibly a portacot or playpen for bub for the inlaws that you can just leave there.

Diaper bag? Doesn't matter. Get one that's fabric instead of pleather because it'll be washable. I have a skip hop one and it's fine. car seat/car: We thought we'd need a big family car for a baby, so we got a porsche cayenne. It's not practical though. It's too high up, hoisting carseats and baby up all the time isn't fun. It's wide so all parking spaces seem too small and it's often hard to open the door all the way without touching the neighboring car. So IMO you want a sedan or station wagon, not a truck, not an SUV. I "downgraded" to a subaru legacy and even though it's not as "nice" as a porsche, it's more practical and comfortable. Stroller: You want something that folds and stows as easily as possible. We got 2 strollers, assuming the big heavy tank of a stroller would be our main (stokke), and then an auxiliary lightweight foldable travel stroller to have in the trunk of the car (peg perego selfie). And well..... the lightweight one gets used so much more. The big one is such a hassle to fold, transport, and assemble so it only ever gets used if we go for a walk around the neighborhood. But the travel one gets used daily, in and out of the trunk of the car no problem.

The Bugaboo Butterfly 2 and the Joolz Aer2 are better in my opinion. The Butterfly 2 has a more upright seat, excellent basket, seatback pocket, and just feels so premium. The Minu v3 is too reclined for my child… yours may not care, but most toddlers want to sit up and see! It also feels kind of heavy and bulky to me, and the unfold kept sticking when I tried it at Nordstrom. Honestly I went with the Yoyo3 over all of them because I just wanted the smallest and lightest option.
