Babyzen YOYO2 review: buy or skip?

What the Babyzen YOYO2 does well

The headline: folds small enough for an overhead bin. Key specs: Weight: 13.6 lb; Fold: Compact; Car seat compatible: With adapters; Max child weight: 48.5 lb. In our list it is the pick for: travel. It usually sells for $499–$549.

Who it suits: people who fly or live in a city.

The trade-offs

Good: very compact, light, overhead bin. Not so good: small basket, pricey. Read the skip-if line before you order: skip it if you walk on rough trails.

What to buy instead

Instead, consider the Joovy Qool ($449–$549): convertible stroller from single to double. Better if you plan a second child soon.

Instead, consider the Thule Urban Glide 3 ($599–$699): light, sporty jogging stroller. Better if you run with your child.

Instead, consider the UPPAbaby Cruz V2 ($699–$799): full-size stroller in a more compact frame. Better if you want UPPAbaby quality without the Vista's size.

Before you buy

Fold: one-hand folds help when holding a baby. Wheels: bigger wheels ride better on sidewalks. Travel strollers fit overhead bins.

US buyer tip

Many strollers work with infant car seats through adapters; check compatibility before buying.

Prices on Amazon.com move in a pattern. The deepest cuts land on Prime Day in July, Prime Big Deal Days in October and the Black Friday to Cyber Monday week, with smaller drops around Presidents Day, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and back-to-school. Judge a deal against the usual price we show, never against the crossed-out list price.

Order from Amazon itself or the brand's official storefront so the US manufacturer warranty applies, keep your order confirmation and register the product with the brand. Most items can be returned within 30 days, and holiday purchases often get an extended return window into January.
