Babyzen YOYO² vs Stokke YOYO³: The Best Selling Newborn-Ready Travel Stroller

At first glance, you might not notice the subtle improvements made by Stokke to the iconic YOYO stroller, but the YOYO³ is more than just a re-brand, it offers more features than its predecessor that defined the travel stroller space. Stokke put in numerous upgrades to the YOYO³ stroller which we have listed them out below. The transition from Babyzen YOYO² to Stokke YOYO³ is feature packed for parents and kids, making it one of the top rated, airline cabin approved travel stroller on the market in 2024.

As one of the leading baby retailers in California that has sold over thousands Babyzen strollers since inception, here is our take on why the YOYO stroller is so beloved:

  • The YOYO is first of its kind - the Babyzen YOYO pioneered the premium-level travel stroller market.
  • Airline approved - the YOYO is widely accepted as cabin-approved by most airlines due to the size and weight of the stroller.
  • Lightweight - the new YOYO³ and previous models weigh 13-14 lbs. which is comparable or lower than others in this category.
  • Travel System ready - the YOYO stroller is compatible with several car seats (adapters sold separately) such as Nuna PIPA series, Cybex Aton series, Maxi Cosi Mico series, Clek Liing
  • Newborn ready - The foldable Newborn Set option for YOYO allows your newborn to ride in the stroller comfortably yet still keep the compact fold design for traveling parents.

So how could they make this well-rounded stroller even better? We listed out the most notable upgrades made by Stokke to the YOYO³. We will review certain key points that are important to parents.

Top 3 reasons why Kidsland loves the new YOYO³:

More Shade and Breathability

Summer time usually means family vacation! Time spent outdoors and soaking in the sun (let’s get that Vitamin D!) is great but be sure to protect baby from prolonged periods of direct sunlight. We LOVE that Stokke has decided to extend the length of the YOYO canopy to provide more coverage. In addition to the extended canopy, Stokke has redesigned the backrest and seat to allow better breathability to keep your little one cool and comfortable throughout their ride.

Improved Shock Absorbers and Reflective Wheels

These two separate enhancements made to the YOYO³ are improvements that we were most excited to see and we can confirm that we LOVE it. Improved shock absorbers makes it a smoother ride for your child while parents will experience better handling. In addition to better handling, Stokke YOYO³ has designed the wheels to be reflective to ensure better visibility as you stroll.

Increased Backrest Height

The reason we LOVE this upgrade is due to the pillow headrest that is integrated into the seat to provide a little more height and comfort for your growing child allowing parents to get more usability of their stroller.

In conclusion, the YOYO³ is more spacious, enhanced in comfort, and overall a smoother ride for both parents and child. Stokke addressed many of the concerns and lack of features that parents had with the Babyzen YOYO² making it more child and parent friendly for their growing family.
