There’s a reason why Stokke’s colourful, all-in-one, lightweight stroller is considered the one you need; it's proven itself for both travelling and city living. The Babyzen YoYo² is ultra-compact and yet seems to have it all; it’s functional, folds tiny, and with an array of colour options and accessories, it can grow with your family from birth to a weight of 22 kg (48.5 lbs).
Founded in France in 2009, Babyzen was designed to solve the mobility needs of families in urban landscapes, with excellent manoeuvrability in tight spaces. Its small footprint allows it to fit in overhead compartments (airline dependent) making it ideal for travel on planes, trains, cars, and subways, which really showcases its accessibility and ease.
Stokke's Babyzen YOYO² is a featherweight compared to the competition. Its included shoulder strap allows you to sling it over your shoulder while holding your little one, ascending stairs. In the 6+ Version the stroller weighs 6.2 kg (13.6 lbs), with the newborn pack it’s 6.6 kg (14.5 lbs), and with the bassinet, it’s still only 8.1 kg (17.8 lbs).
Purchasing your YOYO²
The purchase of Stokke's Babyzen YoYo² feels like a Choose Your Own Adventure novel, with aesthetic colours and accessories to allow your personal needs and style to be customized.
Step One is to select your frame colour: available in all black or black and white the YOYO²’s frame is reinforced and all four wheels have independent suspension, offering comfort from the bumpy city sidewalks to the cobblestones across Europe.
Step Two is to choose which stunning hue and style of the fabric seat to put on the frame. If you are using your YOYO² from birth then the Newborn Pack 0+ creates a cozy nest for your fresh baby. This baby seat is complete with a 5-point harness, a comfortable mattress that lies flat, a canopy, head support, and a foot cover.
At 6 months old, switch to the Colour Pack 6+, which allows your little to sit up and face the world. With an incline of up to 145°, your baby can still nap on-the-go, while safely strapped in the padded 5-point harness. There’s an Anti-UV (UPF 50+) canopy that has a window for keeping an eye on your child. And the zippered pocket in the back is perfect to keep those important snacks tucked safely away.
My family started with the Colour Pack 6+, using it when our daughter Clementine turned 6 months old. With a small baby and young child, our walks seem effortless as this little stroller can take on our neighbourhood’s older uneven sidewalk. When our daughter was born earlier this year, and we began to plan our first international trip, we knew that Stokke's Babyzen YOYO² would be the ideal stroller for long day trips and Europe’s cobblestone roads.
Step Three is when you begin adding accessories to your YOYO² stroller. Customer favourites include the YOYO Board - a foot-board for older children to catch a ride, the YOYO+ Bag - an attachable enclosed bag supported with a wheel that allows your stroller to carry home groceries or your family’s gear while exploring a new city, and the Parasol -a small umbrella adding UPF 50+ protection and enhanced sun coverage.
