Our verdict

Babyzen builds a tight travel range around the YOYO⁵, and it suits parents who fly often and want a lie-flat seat rather than a full-size or double stroller. Both the one hand fold and the cabin size fold are listed as yes, and the top of the range is €599.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • A one hand fold and a cabin size fold are both listed as yes, so the YOYO⁵ collapses in a single movement and still meets cabin size limits.
  • Newborn use comes from lie flat seat, and a Maxi Cosi seat fits the same frame for the earliest months.
  • The range covers compact, travel and travel system, keeping a compact city pushchair and a travel system inside the same catalogue.
  • The catalogue is short and specific: YOYO⁵ Stroller, YOYO⁵ Newborn Pack, YOYO⁵ Base Frame, covering the stroller, the newborn pack and the base frame.

Cons

  • Support runs on chat and help centre only, so anyone who prefers a phone call has no line listed.
  • Entry at €479 is a large step above the €87.70 entry price typical across our data, and the top of the range reaches €599.
  • The range covers compact, travel and travel system only, with no full-size or double pushchair in the catalogue.
  • Prices are published for a single market in euro, which limits comparison for shoppers buying elsewhere.

Who it suits

  • Parents who fly with a baby: the one hand fold and the cabin size fold are both listed as yes, and the folded package is 52 x 45 x 22 cm.
  • Families starting at birth: lie flat seat covers the newborn stage, and Maxi Cosi seats fit the same frame.
  • Shoppers who want the stroller, the newborn option and the base frame from the same maker: YOYO⁵ Stroller, YOYO⁵ Newborn Pack, YOYO⁵ Base Frame.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone after a full-size or double stroller: Evenflo Company lists full size, compact and travel, adding full-size and double to the categories here.
  • Buyers who want a wider aisle from a single retailer: Kids2Shop covers full size, compact and travel, including the full-size models this range skips.
  • Shoppers after a double wagon rather than a travel pushchair: Harppa Baby sells double.

Core features

Everything about the YOYO⁵ is arranged around the fold. The one hand fold is listed as yes, and the cabin size fold is listed as yes, so the same frame collapses in a single movement and still meets cabin size limits. Those two ticks are what separate a genuine travel stroller from a compact pushchair that merely gets smaller, and they are the reason the model is designed to be carried, stored and used again on the next trip rather than parked at the kerb.

Plans and prices

Weighed at the stroller itself, the YOYO⁵ Stroller is listed from €479 and the range runs to €599, covering YOYO⁵ Stroller, YOYO⁵ Newborn Pack, YOYO⁵ Base Frame. These are purchase prices for the product, so the amount paid at entry and the amount paid later are the same figure: nothing on this range renews by instalment and there is no separate subscription line. The wider figure sits with the newborn pack and the base frame, while €479 is the starting point for the stroller alone. Buying the seat by itself is the cheaper route, adding a car seat or the base frame is what lifts a buyer toward €599.

How it compares on our data

Babyzen's entry price ranks 36 out of 43 brands in our stroller data, and its top price ranks 22 out of 41. Read together, the entry position sits deeper into the field than the top price position, so the starting figure carries the premium and the ceiling lands nearer the middle of the market. That pattern fits a focused travel maker: a narrow catalogue held at a high entry point, with the top of the range close to what most comparable ranges ask for.

The company behind it

Babyzen operates under Stokke AS, which puts a named parent company behind the pushchairs rather than a workshop of its own. Service runs online through chat and help centre, so help comes as written answers in a help centre plus live chat rather than a call. Owners buying this as a travel purchase can treat the brand as part of a larger operation with its own support setup, and they will be planning around online contact instead of a telephone conversation.

How Babyzen compares

Frequently asked questions

How much does the YOYO⁵ cost?+

The YOYO⁵ Stroller is listed from €479, and the Babyzen range runs to €599. That covers YOYO⁵ Stroller, YOYO⁵ Newborn Pack, YOYO⁵ Base Frame, so the top figure is the fuller configuration with the newborn pack or the base frame. The listed figures are purchase prices for the stroller, not a plan that renews.

Do I pay again later, or is this a one off price?+

Babyzen's figures are prices for the stroller itself, so the amount paid at entry and the amount paid later are the same: €479 to €599. Nothing on this range renews by instalment, and no subscription line is attached to the pushchair, which keeps budgeting simple for anyone saving ahead for a trip.

Can the YOYO⁵ be used from birth?+

Yes, through lie flat seat, so a newborn can lie flat in the seat rather than being propped up. A Maxi Cosi infant seat also fits the same frame for families who prefer a car seat on the move. Babyzen lists compact, travel and travel system within the same range, so the chassis carries on after the newborn stage.

Will it fit in an airline cabin?+

The cabin size fold is listed as yes, the one hand fold is listed as yes, and the folded package measures 52 x 45 x 22 cm. Together those place the YOYO⁵ at the small end of travel strollers, which is what overhead storage tends to reward. Airline rules vary, so check the carrier you actually fly with before travelling.

Which car seats fit the frame?+

Compatibility is listed as Maxi Cosi, which is the only family named for the YOYO⁵ frame. A newborn can also travel on the seat itself, since the from birth setup is lie flat seat. The listed compatibility therefore covers that family alone, so check your own car seat before buying.

What models sit in the Babyzen range?+

The catalogue covers YOYO⁵ Stroller, YOYO⁵ Newborn Pack, YOYO⁵ Base Frame, a stroller, a newborn pack and a base frame. Type coverage is compact, travel and travel system, so the brand competes in the compact, travel and travel-system corners of the market rather than across every category. Buyers wanting a full-size or double pushchair will need a different maker.

How do I get help from Babyzen?+

Help comes online. Support channels are chat and help centre, meaning a help centre for written answers plus chat for live questions. Families who prefer a phone call have no line listed, so it helps to have the model name to hand, such as the YOYO⁵ Base Frame, before starting a chat.

Which company stands behind Babyzen?+

Stokke AS is the legal entity behind the brand, so a Babyzen purchase sits with a named parent company that has its own operation behind it. The practical side for owners is service: help is handled through chat and help centre, which is worth weighing before buying if you expect to lean on a manufacturer after a long trip.

Where does the price sit against other brands?+

On entry price, Babyzen ranks 36 out of 43 brands in our stroller data. The top price ranks 22 out of 41. The entry position sits deeper into the field, so the starting figure carries the premium and the ceiling lands nearer the middle of the market.
