Is the YOYO³ the Right Travel Stroller for You?
If you’re searching for a stroller that makes life simpler, especially when you’re out and about, the YOYO³ is well worth a look. The latest version of this much-loved pram is still ultra-compact and easy to fold, but with added comfort, improved suspension, and a smoother push than ever before.
Whether you're heading on a plane, tackling public transport, or simply want something light and easy to manage, the YOYO³ is designed to make everyday outings more enjoyable – for both you and your baby.
One thing that’s helpful to know before you start building your YOYO³ - the frame is sold separately. This gives you the flexibility to customise your setup from the beginning — and makes it easy to update or upgrade later as your little one grows.
This modular approach is just a part of what makes the YOYO³ so popular: it's a compact pram that evolves with your journey.
What makes the YOYO³ so popular?
- Parents love the YOYO for its versatility and portability. Here’s why:
- It folds and unfolds with one hand – ideal if you’re holding your baby or juggling bags.
- Once folded, it’s compact enough to sling over your shoulder or tuck away in small spaces.
- It weighs just 6.4kg with the 6+ seat, 6.6kg with the Newborn Pack, or 8.1kg with the Bassinet.
- The folded size (52 × 44 × 18 cm) fits in the overhead lockers of most airlines.*
- You can use it from birth through toddlerhood by choosing the right setup for your child’s age.
Choosing your newborn setup: Bassinet vs Newborn Pack
One of the first decisions to make is how you'd like to use the stroller from day one. The YOYO³ has two newborn options:
The YOYO³ Bassinet
This lightweight, semi-rigid bassinet clips onto the stroller frame in one click. It offers:
- A ventilated shell and breathable double mattress for comfort
- A parent-facing position so you can keep an eye on your baby
- The ability to unclip the bassinet and place it down flat without disturbing your little one
- A snug, bassinet-style interior with no harness – just soft fabrics and space to stretch
Many parents prefer this option if they want a more traditional pram experience or the ability to move baby between stroller and indoors without waking them.
The YOYO³ Newborn Pack (0+)
This clever option transforms your stroller into a lie-flat, parent-facing pushchair that folds in one piece with the frame – no need to detach anything when you’re heading onto a bus or popping it into the boot.
It includes:
- A soft nest with a 5-point harness for safety
- A 2.5cm mattress insert for newborn comfort
- The ability to fold down ultra-compact – perfect for travel or tight storage spaces
If you’ll be using the YOYO³ for quick errands, public transport, or frequent travel, the Newborn Pack offers ultimate convenience.
Not sure which is right for you? It often comes down to lifestyle. If you need something super compact and easy to fold at a moment’s notice, go with the Newborn Pack. If you want a more spacious, removable bassinet, the YOYO Bassinet might suit you better.
When do you move to the next stage?
Once your baby is sitting independently (around 6 months), it’s time to switch to the YOYO³ 6+ Seat Pack. This setup is forward-facing and features:
- A five-point harness for growing explorers
- A multi-position reclining backrest
- A sun canopy with ventilation panels to keep your little one cool
- Easy access to the under-seat basket
From here, your stroller grows with your toddler, adapting to everyday life and bigger adventures alike.
What about using a car capsule?
With the right adapters, you can also clip certain car capsules directly onto the YOYO³ frame. This can be helpful for short trips where baby falls asleep in the car – just transfer the capsule to the stroller without waking them.
That said, for longer walks or nap times, it’s best for baby to be lying flat in either the Newborn Pack or Bassinet, as this supports healthy spine development.
Accessories to make life easier
There’s a full range of optional accessories that fit the YOYO³, including:
- Footmuff for winter strolls
- Rain cover and parasol for all-weather outings
- Leg rest for added comfort
- Cup holder for your coffee on the go
- Travel bag to protect your stroller during flights
- Stroller board for an older sibling
- And even ski attachments for snowy destinations!
Plus, if your family grows, you can get an add-on that lets you turn your YOYO³ into a double stroller! You can mix and match seats or bassinets depending on the ages of your children.
Is the YOYO³ for you?
The YOYO³ really shines when you need something reliable, compact, and easy to handle. Whether you're catching flights or just want a pram that doesn't take up the whole boot, it’s a strong option from newborn right through to toddlerhood.
