An urban design conceived for the mobility of active parents
The Yoyo stroller, born in 2012, has become a staple on the streets and sidewalks of large cities. Its secret? A perfect balance between compactness and ergonomics. Weighing only 6.2 kg, it facilitates transport in the city, easily slips through narrow sidewalks, and folds in the blink of an eye, ready to become a cabin baggage approved by most airlines. This spontaneous folding, doable with one hand, puts it at the top of ideal strollers for urban mobility. The presence of an integrated shoulder strap also makes it easy to carry on the shoulder, a real plus for those who alternate daily between metro, bus, and walking trips.
Maneuverability that makes all the difference on sidewalks
Sliding the Yoyo stroller between passersby or navigating supermarket aisles is effortless. Thanks to Hytrel elastomer suspensions on each of the four wheels, it efficiently absorbs irregularities from cobblestones or small stones, while offering reassuring stability. The handlebar, although slightly narrow on older models, has been widened since the YOYO³ version for a more comfortable grip. This maneuverability results in tight turns, quick U-turns, and a feeling of lightness, all appreciated assets during urban trips where fluidity reigns.
Baby comfort and adaptability, to accompany growth smoothly
The Yoyo stroller, designed to grow with baby, offers several configurations. The 0+ pack provides a soft and comfortable carrycot for the little ones, allowing a completely flat position essential in the first months. When baby grows, you choose the 6+ kit with an adjustable backrest and footrest, without changing the chassis. This system thus avoids buying several strollers and limits clutter at home. The greatly improved XL canopy on the YOYO³ protects from the sun, and a viewing window allows parents to keep a watchful eye at all times.
- Fully reclined position for the fragile backs of newborns
- Adjustable backrest for naps and awake moments
- Enhanced UV-protection accessories for summer
- Soft and adjustable 5-point straps and harness
Robustness that holds up despite the lightness
Surprising for such a compact stroller, its chassis supports up to 22 kg. This capacity allows accompanying baby up to around 4 years old while maintaining exemplary stability. From smooth asphalt to the steeper paths of urban parks, the Yoyo stroller has shown amazing solidity over the years. Its very good endurance in the face of daily hazards makes it a durable investment, reinforced by a fabric that is easy to remove and clean.
| Criteria | Yoyo Performance | Comfort Ratings |
|---|---|---|
| Smooth sidewalks | Excellent smooth rolling | 5/5 |
| Old cobblestones | Comfortable shock absorption | 4/5 |
| Park paths | Passable, good maneuverability | 3/5 |
| Gravel or rough terrain | Limited, poorly suited | 2/5 |
Accessories that increase everyday practicality
From the spacious basket under the seat capable of holding up to 10 kg, to the kickboard for the older child, the Yoyo undergoes a real transformation to become a multi-use product suited for large families. The rain cover and winter footmuff extend outings in all seasons, while its elegant design is available in several unisex colors, suitable for all styles. The centralized brake proves reliable during sudden stops, offering additional safety for often hurried parents.
- Large capacity under-seat basket
- Removable kickboard for older child

These options transform this compact stroller into a true urban ally, combining style and functionality every day.

Simple actions like regularly lubricating the axes and cleaning the wheels help maintain optimal maneuverability and promote a good resale value.
