Babyzen YoYo

We have the YoYo, and love it. Everyone airline recognizes it immediately so there's never any argument about it going in the overhead.

We have flown around 20 segments with our yoyo2 (US and Europe) and haven't had any problems putting it in the overhead bin. We've been super pleased.

Alternatively, YoYo is everywhere because it's really good? we tried a few before, but settled on it eventually. Lightweight, easy to steer, folds down small. Plenty available on Marketplace if you think it's overpriced...

I'm the same height and it's absolutely fine. We use it all the time, much nicer to get around UK pavements and shops than alternatives. Fantastic at airports.

I have a tiny house and drive a VW polo. I love the babyzen yoyo. Tiny, collapses easily, great turning/steering. It is only for town though, can't handle off road.

How often will you be using it? Just saying as you may be better off hiring one. We've hired a Babyzen Yoyo twice now. We only fly once a year, so didn't make sense financially to buy one. Currently in Rome with one from Baboodle and it's doing well. Bit tricky on the cobbles, but we're managing ok. We used it in Crete with our 8 month old and it was fine.

Love our Yoyo too! So nippy and easy to move around tight streets. Worth noting that TUI airline no longer accept it as hand luggage so we had to drop it at the gate along with the larger buggies.

We have the bugaboo dragonfly as an every day pram. It folds with one button and is relatively compact as far as a whole pram goes. It does really well on all terrain. We also bought the YoYo for travelling and sort of walking around bigger cities which is great but definitely not a stroller for a forest walk.

Babyzen Yoyo. My daughter, who is four, can still just about fit in it when she needed to.

My toddler was 18 mo when I got pregnant with my 2nd. We sold our uppababy Cruz, and solely used our baby zen yoyo during my pregnancy. Now we use the baby jogger city tour double.

I think the only other option that meets your criteria is the yoyo2. We bought one, it fits in the overhead on planes (one of the only few that actually does but not sure how useful that is since most airlines will bring your buggy to the door!) More importantly, the cybex you mention fits in it - we bought the same one! I think they have stopped making it now so you might be super lucky. The regular frame fits your budget i think but you'd need a newborn pack or a bassinet until they turn 6...

My husband is your height and finds the yoyo handle comfortable. We both kicked the frame we when we initially started using the yoyo more than our larger fox pram but we got used to it.

Consider hiring a travel pram rather than buying one if you don't travel often. We've hired a YoYo twice now and it's been fine. It was better the second time when our son was bigger, but when he was smaller I didn't like how reclined it was in its upright position. That might the same with all the travel prams though.

We have the Yoyo and will be reusing it for baby number 2 but there are some downsides so I'd recommend the Joolz Aer or Ergobaby Metro (I wish I had bought it on special!) Compact strollers are amazing for travel and I love how easily the Yoyo fits in small paths and cafes etc. The big downside is in the 6 month plus configuration, the seat doesn't recline all the way and the sunshade isn't big enough. I've bought the extra leg rest and used an extendable sunshade previously so hoping that d...

Had a YoYo for 1.5 years as my sole stroller and now have a Bugaboo Butterfly (and an Uppababy Cruz as my daily driver). A major issue with the YoYo is it lacks a one handed fold. You have to reach under it, pull an unseen lever and depress a button, then do an awkward pull motion to fold it. My husband, who is very smart, would choke everytime he had to fold it under pressure, which to be honest is kind of what happens when you travel with a stroller. We hated this thing. It caused ma...

Not sure on alternatives, but definitely avoid a yo-yo as your main pushchair if you're 6'2. I'm 6ft and found it uncomfortable to use. It's very handy for flights though.

I have cybex cloud T and the Nuna triv in London. The bassinet is parent facing and when you move to the stroller seat it can face parent or world. I really like the Nuna and feel it works well on tubes and busses but I probably wouldn't go bigger than that. We've got a yoyo for travel and that doesn't feel super sturdy out and about.

I know a lot of people recommend the Yoyo, and I also have one, but I hate baby's position in it. She cannot stay straight as the backrest is slightly inclined, and she always looks uncomfortable in it. She tries to push herself forward to stay straight.

I bought a second hand yoyo off Vinted and didn't notice it was cracked until it was too late so that was £50 I wasted which made me decide on a new one 😂 fwiw I prefer the quality on the Aries to the yoyo

I guess it depends on the baby, but I read a lot of people having similar experience as me. Also, there is no foot rest and the legs, again, do not feel like they are in a comfortable position.

I absolutely hate the Yoyo! I rented it for a holiday with the view to buying it after but I thought it was awful. Is it so flimsy, doesn't have an extendable sunshade and doesn't lie in any way flat so it's terrible for naps. It's also really awkward to fold. I recently tried a friend's Joolz Aer and will be buying one for this summer
