Babyzen YOYO2 Stroller

The stroller that folds to cabin-bag size without sacrificing a smooth ride

★★★★½ 4.7 $499 0–4 years (with newborn pack for 0–6m)
+ Folds smaller than any competitor — fits in airplane overhead bins + One-handed fold and unfold — do it while holding a baby + Four-wheel independent suspension for a genuinely smooth push + Newborn pack option means you can use it from day 1

Why we chose it

The moment you own a full-size stroller, you realize you also need a second stroller — one that doesn't require a parking space. For city parents squeezing into tiny elevators, for travelers navigating airports, and for anyone whose car trunk is permanently half-full, the Babyzen YOYO2 is the answer that doesn't feel like a compromise.

The headline feature is the fold: one hand, one motion, and it collapses to 52 × 44 × 18 cm — the size of a carry-on suitcase and explicitly IATA cabin-baggage compliant. You can put it in an airplane overhead bin. Not "some airlines might allow it." It's certified. The shoulder strap lets you carry it like a messenger bag through the jet bridge.

But the YOYO2 earns its place here because it doesn't ride like a compromise stroller. Four-wheel independent suspension gives it a smooth push that rivals full-size models. The seat reclines near-flat for naps on the go, and the UPF 50+ canopy with a peekaboo window is genuinely generous for a compact. Add the newborn pack and you have a lie-flat pram from day one — so you don't need a separate bassinet stroller for the first six months.

Who it's for

City families with limited storage. Frequent travelers tired of gate-checking their stroller and praying it survives. Parents who want one secondary stroller that doesn't feel like a downgrade from their primary.

Things to know

At $499, this is a premium second stroller — price it against the UPPAbaby Minu ($449) or Joolz Aer ($449) and it's in the same bracket. The under-seat basket is small: one diaper bag, max. If you're a chronic over-packer or do big grocery runs on foot, this isn't your only stroller. The seat is narrower than full-size models, which most toddlers don't mind but bigger preschoolers might notice. The newborn pack is sold separately and adds about $200 to the total.

Our verdict

The Babyzen YOYO2 is the travel stroller that solved the travel stroller problem: it's compact enough to fly with but rides well enough to be your everyday stroller. If you live in a city and have ever cursed your stroller in a narrow doorway, on a crowded bus, or in a restaurant — this is the one you want.
