Stokke YOYO³ Stroller Review

If you’re slightly confused hearing YOYO and Stokke in the same sentence, we get it… 

The YOYO stroller line was owned by Babyzen until Stokke recently bought them out. This merger brought together Stokke's commitment to innovative design and Babyzen's expertise in compact, travel-friendly strollers.  

The result? The best of both worlds in the form of the YOYO³! 

 We've got the inside scoop on this little gem.

The YOYO³ is the latest addition to Stokke's stroller lineup, building on the success of its predecessor, the YOYO².

The YOYO³ comes in two sleek frame options — an all-black version for those who love a classic look and a black-and-white combo for parents who want a bit more contrast. But here's where it gets fun: you can customize your ride with their 6 Months+ Colour Pack. If you opt for the all-black frame, you've got a whopping 8 colour options to choose from, while the black-and-white frame gives you 3 stylish choices (talk about making a statement on your morning coffee run!). 

If you plan to use the stroller from birth, you can do so in a compatible infant car seat or pick up the Newborn Pack, which is also available in an assortment of colours.

But this upgraded baby ride isn’t just about looking good. Stokke has taken a step towards sustainability with the YOYO³. They've reduced plastic use in the stroller's construction and packaged it all up in recycled cardboard — without a drop of glue in sight. Now that's what we call eco-friendly parenting!

Comfort Is King 

A comfortable baby makes for a much more enjoyable outing, and the YOYO³ has pulled out all the stops to ensure your little one rides in luxury. 

The backrest and seat area are perforated and made with mesh fabrics, allowing for better air circulation. No more sweaty, cranky babies on hot summer days! Speaking of weather, the extended canopy now features a ventilation window and a peek-a-boo window that you can actually close. 

Additionally, the seat pad has been redesigned to be wider, with a new cushion and increased backrest height. This means your growing toddler will have plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the ride! And for peace of mind, there's a secure 5-point harness to keep your precious cargo safe and sound.

Convenience at Your Fingertips 

Parenting is hard enough without wrestling with a complicated stroller. The YOYO³ gets it, and it's here to make your life easier. 

For starters, it has incredible folding ability. True to its Babyzen heritage, this stroller folds down to a remarkably compact size that's perfect for travel or storage. With just a few simple moves, you can collapse the YOYO³ into a package so small it complies with most airline carry-on requirements (check with your airline to be sure).  

Stokke also upgraded the stroller’s handle for a better grip, which is perfect for those one-handed steering moments when you're juggling a latte and a diaper bag!  

Speaking of bags, the new basket can hold up to 22 pounds of all your essentials (and let's be honest, probably a few non-essentials too). The basket is also more conveniently attached, making it easier to access all your stuff. 

Need to hang a few extra bags? No problem! The YOYO³ is also equipped with integrated hooks (because sometimes the basket just isn't enough).

Smooth Moves 

A smooth ride can make the difference between a peaceful stroll and a fussy baby meltdown.  

Stokke’s got you covered with 8 improved shock absorbers and a Soft Drive system on this stroller. Whether you're navigating city sidewalks or park paths, the YOYO³ glides along like a dream! 

Also, here's a neat safety feature: the wheels are reflective! Forget your worries on late afternoon walks or early morning jogs as you'll be visible and safe at all times.
 

Mix and Match 

The YOYO³ is more than just a stroller — it's a travel system that can adapt to your changing needs. Here are some cool accessories you can add to your setup:

1. The 0+ Newborn Pack: This cozy nest turns your YOYO³ into a newborn-friendly ride. Your tiny human can lay completely flat, facing you, in maximum comfort. The Newborn Pack even has mesh straps for better comfort and a ventilation window to keep things breezy. 

2. The 6 Months+ Colour Pack Rain Cover: Because sometimes the weather doesn't cooperate with your plans. This rain cover has been optimized to fit snugly over the canopy, with a rear extension to cover the pocket.

3. The Stroller Board: Got an older sibling who's not quite ready to walk the whole way? The YOYO+ Stroller Board attaches with one click and can hold a child up to 44.1 pounds. They can choose to stand or sit on the removable saddle.

4. The YOYO Cup Holder: Because caffeinated parents are happy parents! This versatile cup holder can be attached to 6 different points on the stroller frame and fits everything from small baby bottles to big Stanley quenchers.
   
   

Wrapping It Up 

The YOYO³ Stroller combines style, comfort, convenience, and eco-friendliness in one sleek package.  

From its customizable colour options to its smooth ride and thoughtful accessories, this stroller is designed to make your parenting journey a little bit easier and a lot more stylish. Whether you're navigating busy city streets or exploring the great outdoors, this stroller seems ready to tackle whatever adventures your family has in store! 

If want to use the stroller straight from birth, the YOYO³ is also available in a bundle that includes the Stroller Frame + Newborn Pack. Then, once your baby outgrows the pram (around the 6-month mark), you can pick up the Colour Pack- 6-Months + to create your toddler seat.
