From the above specs, you can see that without adding any accessories the UPPAbaby Minu V2 can be used a few months earlier than the Stokke YOYO³ and can accommodate a couple more pounds. However, the YOYO³ is smaller and weighs less, so it’s easier to carry and push.

Similar Strollers

The YOYO³ and Minu V2 are both strollers your baby will love. But aside from their compact nature, what other similarities do they share?

High-Quality Materials:
The YOYO³’s frame is a mixture of aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and fiberglass-reinforced technical plastics. The Minu V2 has an aluminum frame

Comfort Grip:
Both strollers have an upgraded wrap on their handlebar to enhance grip and comfort. However, the Minu V2 uses natural leather and the YOYO³ uses faux leather.

Protective Canopy:
Shielding your little one from the sun is a UPF 50 canopy, included on both strollers.

Suspension System:
If you’re hoping for a smooth ride, you’re in luck! The YOYO³ and the Minu V2 have shock-absorbing all-wheel suspension systems to keep baby bump-free and happy! ( The YOYO³ features "Soft Drive" for increased child comfort and a better push on uneven surfaces.)

Airline Compatible:
Family vacation time demands you bring your stroller on the road. The YOYO³ and Minu V2 can both be compacted down to carry-on luggage size, fitting neatly into the overhead bin on your flight (although we still recommend you double-check with your airline before travelling to be sure).

Newborn-Friendly (with accessories)
Both strollers are suitable from birth with accessories. The YOYO³ requires the Newborn Pack for the first few months, while the Minu V2 requires the V3 Bassinet and Minu and Bassinet Adapter.

Travel System Compatible:
These strollers can also be turned into travel systems using your infant car seat. The YOYO³ offers a car seat adapter for a wide range of different brands, and the Minu V2 is compatible with Mesa Infant car seats with this adapter, and has one for the Maxi-Cosi and Nuna car seats.

Easy Fold:
Collapsing these strollers is simple and can be done by any parent. In the case of the Minu V2, it can even be folded one-handed! Once collapsed, you can sling either stroller over your shoulder by using their attached carrying strap. However, some parents find the fold on the Minu V2 a bit more intuitive than the YOYO³.

Colours:
While the Minu V2 is available in several colours, the YOYO³ has more options and even allows you to select what frame colour you want — black or white — so you and your baby can rock the town in style!

Contrasting Baby Buggies

Stroller manufacturers put their own unique spin on their products to entice parents. Here are the ways the YOYO³ and Minu V2 differ:

Underseat Basket:
The YOYO² can hold 22 lbs., while the Minu V2’s basket can hold 20.

Bumper Bar:
The Minu V2 comes with a leather-wrapped bumper bar for both protection and something your baby can grab on to during their ride.

Harness:
Both strollers' seats have a secure 5-point harness, but the Minu V2’s is no-rethread, making it easier to resize as your child grows.

Waterproofing:
The YOYO³’s fabrics are waterproof, whereas the Minu V2 would require a rain shield to keep them dry.

Fabric:
The Minu V2 is GREENGUARD Gold certified.

Footrest:
The Minu V2 has an adjustable footrest for optimal leg comfort, whereas the YOYO³ has no footrest.

Canopy:
The canopy on the YOYO³'s newborn pack is large and ventilated, while the 6m+ pack has an extendable waterproof UPF 50+ canopy with a closable peek-a-boo window on top so you can keep an eye on your little one. The Minu V2’s zip-out canopy is extendable with mesh for added ventilation and a peekaboo window.

Toddler Seat:
The YOYO³ has a closable mesh ventilation window on the back of seat to allow for better air circulation on hot days. It also features a built-in head cushion, perforated backrest and seat area, and a rear seat pocket for your phone or wallet.
