The Babyzen Yoyo2 is a travel stroller sold in two boxes. You buy a frame, then you buy a fabric pack to hang on it. The listing we scored is the frame plus a 6+ month colour pack at $449.95, the lowest number in our entire pram field, and it carries a condition you need to read before anything else. It is an ex-display unit at one Brisbane store, in-store purchase only, a white frame with an olive colour pack. That is one shop selling one demonstrator, not a national new-stock price, and every price comparison below should be read with that in mind.
The second thing to know is that this model has a successor. The Stokke YOYO 3 is listed at $599.95 in the same frame-plus-colour-pack format and scores 7.5 to the Yoyo2’s 7.4 on our bench. The Yoyo2 is the outgoing car in the showroom with a sticker on the windscreen.
Our pram bench scores the Yoyo2 at 7.4. Nothing here has been pushed or folded by us. Every figure below is the manufacturer’s or the retailer’s, and where a figure is not published we say so rather than guess at it.
The case for it
The fold is the entire argument, and the number is exceptional. Babyzen publishes 52 x 44 x 18 cm folded and states that this is equal to or less than most airline cabin luggage allowances, with the usual instruction to check your own carrier. Multiply it out and the folded package is 41,184 cubic centimetres. The Joolz Aer2, which holds our Best for travel award, publishes 44 x 53 x 23.5 cm, or 54,802 cubic centimetres. The Yoyo2 is about a quarter smaller than the pram that won the category on fold. The Bugaboo Dragonfly, at a published 36 x 52 x 90 cm, is a little over four times the volume. Fold and footprint scores 9.5, the equal highest figure in our pram field, shared only with the Aer2 at $1,058 and the YOYO 3 at $599.95.
The frame is rated from newborn to 22 kg. That matters more than it first reads, because the limit on this pram is not the chassis, it is the fabric pack you bolt to it. Buy the frame once and it covers the whole span, from a newborn insert through to a heavy four-year-old, and you change the soft goods around it. That is a different ownership model to a pram you outgrow and replace.
The V2 frame is where the money went. Babyzen lists a reinforced frame over the older YOYO+, improved independent suspension on all four wheels, a faux leather handlebar with a tether strap, a redesigned universal buckle, a softer harness strap and a tool-free reversible backrest. Four-wheel independent suspension is not standard equipment at this size. The Cybex Coya specifies front-wheel suspension only. The Joolz Aer2 publishes no suspension detail at all on the Australian listings in front of us. Build and materials scores 8.0, level with the YOYO 3 and the Aer2, above the Coya at 7.5 and well above the Babyhood Air Compact at 6.5. In this field only the full-size Bugaboo, UPPAbaby and Mountain Buggy prams score higher, and the cheapest of those is $729.
One detail matters more on an outgoing model than it would on a current one. The colour pack is cross-compatible with the YOYO, YOYO+ and YOYO², so replacement fabrics, canopies and second-hand parts are not tied to a single production year. The thing that usually kills an old pram is a canopy clip you cannot source.
Then the price. At $449.95 this listing sits $150 under the YOYO 3, $349.05 under the Cybex Coya and $608.05 under the Joolz Aer2 with its bassinet. You are being offered the smallest published fold in the class for less than the cheapest full-price travel stroller we scored.
The case against it
Start with what the $449.95 actually buys, because the bundle is the problem. The frame is rated from newborn. The 6+ colour pack in this bundle is rated from six months. Put those two lines together and the pram you take home cannot carry a newborn until you buy a newborn pack or a bassinet, neither of which appears on this listing and neither of which is priced in it. If your baby is not yet sitting, the real cost of this pram is $449.95 plus an unquoted number. Conversion and versatility scores 6.5, the equal lowest figure in the field, level with the Thule Urban Glide 3 and the Babyhood Air Compact.
The wheels are the price of the fold. Push and wheels scores 6.5, and Babyzen publishes no tyre diameter and no tyre material on this listing, only that the suspension is independent at all four corners. Nothing that folds to 18 cm deep has room for a large wheel, so this is physics rather than cost-cutting, but you should still know what you are buying. Our all-terrain pick, the Thule Urban Glide 3 at $1,379, runs 16 inch air-filled tyres and scores 9.5 in the same column. Take the Yoyo2 off sealed footpaths and you will be lifting the front end over things.
Australian parts and service scores 6.5, the equal lowest figure in our pram field, matched only by the Joolz and beaten to the bottom only by the Rever Bebe Horizon at 5.0. Babyhood posts 9.0 in the same column. A superseded model distributed through Australian retail is the hardest kind of pram to get a spare wheel for in year three, and a demonstrator adds a second question on top. Ask the store in writing what warranty attaches to an ex-display unit before you hand over the card, because that answer is the difference between a bargain and a $449.95 orphan.
The listing also leaves too many boxes empty. Babyzen publishes no weight here, which is a strange gap on a pram sold on portability, where the rivals all publish theirs at 6.2 kg for the YOYO 3, 6.5 kg for the Aer2 and 6.6 kg for the Coya. There is no published basket capacity, where the Coya states 5 kg and the Aer2 states 8 kg. There is no published capsule or travel-system path, where Cybex states outright that the Coya is travel system ready. We treat unpublished as unpublished, and that is part of why this pram sits at 7.4 rather than higher.
Last, the practical objection. This is one ex-display unit in one Brisbane store that you cannot buy online. If you are in Perth, this price does not exist for you, and the pram you can actually buy is the YOYO 3 at $599.95.
How it compares
Stokke YOYO 3 Stroller, $599.95. Bench Score 7.5. The successor, and the one to buy if the Brisbane demonstrator is gone or you are not standing in Queensland. It is sold in the same format, frame plus 6+ colour pack, so it inherits the same newborn problem: the bundle starts at six months and a newborn solution costs extra. What you get for the additional $150 is a published weight of 6.2 kg, the lightest figure in our whole pram field, four-wheel suspension using Hytrel elastomer, and reflective wheels for kerbside visibility after dark. It matches the Yoyo2 exactly on fold and footprint at 9.5, on push and wheels at 6.5 and on build and materials at 8.0. The separation is Australian parts and service, 7.0 against the Yoyo2’s 6.5, which is precisely the current-model-versus-run-out gap. Stokke does not publish folded dimensions for the YOYO 3 on this listing, so the 52 x 44 x 18 cm figure remains the Yoyo2’s alone.
Cybex Coya Travel Stroller, $799. Bench Score 7.4. The same overall score for $349.05 more, which sounds like a poor trade until you read what the extra money removes from your to-do list. The Coya is rated from birth to approximately four years with an ergonomic lie-flat recline built into the seat, so there is no second purchase to make a newborn fit. It is travel system ready, a published 6.6 kg, with a 5 kg basket. Against that it scores 9.0 for fold and footprint to the Yoyo2’s 9.5, it runs front-wheel suspension only where the Babyzen has four corners, and it scores 7.5 for build and materials against 8.0. Buy the Coya if the baby is not yet six months and you want one box to solve it.
Joolz Aer2 Stroller + Aer2 Bassinet, $1,058. Bench Score 7.7. Our Best for travel award holder, and the honest answer to “what is the best version of this idea”. It is 6.5 kg with a 4 kg bassinet included in the price, an 8 kg basket, a travel bag, a shoulder strap and a control set specified for one hand throughout. It outscores the Yoyo2 overall and includes the newborn kit the Babyzen bundle omits. It does not fold as small, at 54,802 cubic centimetres against 41,184, and it scores 6.5 for Australian parts and service, the same weak figure as the Babyzen. It is also $608.05 dearer, which is most of a second pram.
The cheapest pram in this article from a company with local depth is not a Babyzen. The Babyhood Air Compact Stroller Black is $499, holds our Best under $500 award and scores 7.2 overall. Say the ranking plainly: it finishes below the Yoyo2, and it does so on the two columns Babyzen wins, 6.5 for build and materials against 8.0 and 8.5 for fold and footprint against 9.5. Where it wins is the column that costs you money after the sale. It scores 9.0 for Australian parts and service, the equal highest figure in the entire pram field and 2.5 points clear of the Babyzen, and it is newborn-ready out of the box with a reclining seat and capsule compatibility rather than a six-month floor. It runs an assisted auto fold on a powder-coated aluminium frame weight-tested to 22 kg, with high-density EVA wheels that score 6.0 for push and wheels. At $49.05 more than the ex-display Yoyo2 it is the pram to look at if you want a compact you can buy new, anywhere, with an Australian phone number behind it.
For completeness, the leader of our pram field is none of these. Best overall goes to the UPPAbaby Vista V3 Pram + Bassinet at $1,499 on a Bench Score of 9.0, which answers a different question entirely.
Verdict
The Yoyo2 folds smaller than anything else we have scored and it is being sold at a run-out price by a shop that wants the floor space back. Those two facts are the whole case, and for the right buyer they are enough. That buyer lives near the Brisbane store, has a child already past six months, flies often enough that 41,184 cubic centimetres in an overhead locker is worth planning around, and understands that the wheels and the local parts position are what the fold cost. Get that ex-display warranty answer in writing first.
Everyone else should look at the successor. The Stokke YOYO 3 at $599.95 is $150 more, is current, publishes its 6.2 kg weight, and scores half a point higher on Australian parts and service for the simple reason that it is the model on sale. If the baby is not yet sitting, neither Yoyo bundle is finished at the till, and the Cybex Coya at $799 or the Joolz Aer2 at $1,058 will cost less by the time you have added the newborn kit. If you want a compact you can buy new tomorrow with proper Australian support behind it, the Babyhood Air Compact at $499 is $49.05 more and posts 9.0 where the Babyzen posts 6.5.
Bench Score 7.4. Conversion and versatility 6.5, fold and footprint 9.5, push and wheels 6.5, build and materials 8.0, Australian parts and service 6.5. No award.
Assessed on specification, 30 July 2026.
Prices are the lowest listed Australian retail as at 30 July 2026 and will move. The $449.95 Yoyo2 price is an ex-display, in-store-only listing for a frame and 6+ colour pack at a single Brisbane retailer and should not be read as a national new-stock price.
