What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—seat not sitting upright enough—directly overlaps the video reviewers' criticism that the seat does not sit upright in normal position.
In their words
“This stroller is amazing!!! We typically use our Stokke Xplory, but it is way too large to use as a travel stroller. We recently used this stroller on our first international trip with our five-month-old son, and it was perfect for the airport and met all of our travel demands. The stroller is super easy to stow in the overhead compartment on an airplane and is very lightweight and easy to put tog”

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
What is the Babyzen YOYO2 best for?
The YOYO2 is built for urban parents who travel by plane or public transport and need a stroller that fits in airline overhead compartments. It handles city streets with cobblestone and tight spaces well, and its tight turning radius makes it agile in crowded areas.
How compact does the YOYO2 fold?
It folds to cabin-luggage dimensions and weighs under fourteen pounds, so it meets airline carry-on requirements. Reviewers note the fold is a multi-step process that requires two hands and practice to master.
What are the drawbacks of the YOYO2?
The storage basket is very small with bars that block front access. The seat does not recline to a full upright position and only moderately reclines. The fold mechanism is annoying and takes practice. Some owners report the buckle pieces do not stay together, and there is no bumper bar sold by the manufacturer.
Can the YOYO2 handle newborns?
The YOYO2 has a modular system that accepts a newborn bassinet, car seat adapters, and a seat for six months and up, so it can accommodate newborns with the right attachment.
Is the YOYO2 good for rough terrain?
It is not designed for rural or rough terrain. Reviewers praise its independent four-wheel suspension for urban surfaces, though one reviewer reported wheel lockup on bumpy ground while others praised suspension performance.
What about the canopy?
Reviewers are split on the canopy. One found it adequate while another noted it lacks the extension coverage of newer competitors, so sun protection varies by reviewer experience.
