Babyzen recently launched the new YOYO2, which has a more luxurious look and feel compared to the earlier model YOYO+. The YOYO2 comes with a leatherette handlebar, a higher weight limit, and improved suspension.
Pro-tip
Other small improvements include:
Because the design and size of the two strollers are almost same, accessories that fit the YOYO+ will also fit the new YOYO2 model.
The French-designed BabyZen Yoyo2 is the best for families who travel frequently. It can also work as your everyday city stroller, because it folds so compactly, and you can just toss it over your shoulder. It folds to roughly the size of a gym bag, so it boasts an incredibly small footprint. It weighs in at around 14 pounds, depending on the version, and has true one-handed fold feature.

BabyZen Yoyo2 Stroller seems like a perfect stroller for the Jetsetter; it seems to be the most popular stroller in the airport. Designed to go anywhere, it folds and unfolds easily, can be carried like a bag and is one-hand driving. With minimal storage required, it can also be taken as cabin luggage.
Use from birth to toddlerhood
The Yoyo is available in newborn and toddler options. The stroller is suitable for kids from 6 months of age to up to 40 pounds, but this stroller is also a travel system; it has an adjustable seat which can hold an infant car seat with an adaptor, which means it can also be used for a newborn.
You can also opt for the newborn pack that includes a bassinet with headrest and a footrest, a rain cover and mosquito netting, and a frame to accommodate a YOYO car seat.
For using the stroller for a newborn until 6 months old, you will need to purchase the newborn pack. The seat should be used rear-facing in a reclining position. From 6 months onwards, you can use the regular chassis, seat will be set in a forward-facing position, and the recline position is now adjustable.
Folds to a compact size
BabyZen Yoyo+ weighs just 16 pounds and is approved to be stored in an overhead cabin on an airplane. You don’t have to gate check a bulky stroller; just fold it and keep it in the overhead bins.You can fold it up and slung it over your shoulder with the built-in strap, just like a big purse. Folded accordion style, it is barely recognizable as a stroller and makes through tight spaces a breeze.
Easy to Steer
It steers easily and can be pushed with one hand, which is another plus. You can open a door and turn it with one hand.
Its easy to operate through New York City sidewalks and the subway. It’s also really easy to carry up the stairs if a family is in a walk-up building. Strollers like the Babyzen Yoyo make the ease of lifting children over steps on our own much easier.
The lightweight BabyZen Yoyo+ stroller is a very popular choice for families on the go, who feel this stroller is worth the investment (despite it being priced slightly in the higher side).
The original Babyzen Yoyo (2016) was very popular due to its travel friendly features. Over the years, the stroller has become more compact, with better suspension, and raised canopy to make it comfortable for taller kids. The Babyzen YOYO2 stroller may feel pricey but its lightweight, compact, sturdy, easily foldable and every traveler’s dream come true.
