But which one is the best travel stroller and why? Learn more about our Stokke YOYO® pram 6+ and why it is a great stroller for traveling.
A pram design focussing on your family’s needs
At Stokke, we start our product development by walking in the parents’ shoes while always keeping your baby’s needs in mind. What are the challenges at the airport? Will the pram be sturdy enough to survive bad handling on the plane? Does it comfort your little one in a stressful environment?
We are committed to creating products which enhance the lives of parents and children alike. While you as a parent are looking for a pram to offer reliability, comfort and safety, the YOYO® pram will at the same time be the starting point for your baby to embark on unforgettable adventures and start exploring the world around them. Like all our products, YOYO® pram meets the highest standards when it comes to quality and safety. It is a testament to our dedication to quality, innovation, and understanding the unique needs of families on the go.
What makes our YOYO® pram ideal for travel?
No matter if you travel by plane, train or in your own car: a travel pram is an essential companion for parents on the go. During your vacation, you might maneuver in various settings, such as large airports and train stations, narrow city streets, or busy tourist attractions – that’s where our stroller comes in. The YOYO® pram is our best travel stroller for various reasons:
- Its ultra-lightweight design makes it easy to push and navigate.
- It folds and unfolds in a moment – and, once folded, it can easily be worn over the shoulder.
- Planes, trains, cars, buses: this stroller tucks in anywhere – and fits most cabin baggage dimensions. YOYO is officially approved by multiple airlines and can be stored easily within the allotted cabin storage.
- Sturdy and super maneuverable: move with ease on cobblestones and through crowded places.
- It offers extra storage, coming with a spacious under seat basket which can hold up to 10kg/22lb.
- It has been designed to provide optimal daily comfort to your child.
As you can see, our YOYO® pram allows families to explore and travel with ease while at the same time ensuring that your little ones remain safe and comfortable throughout the journey. It truly comes in handy, making family adventures more enjoyable and stress-free – and allowing you to create great memories.
Our YOYO® double pram: the best double pram for travel
Are you bound to travel with twins or two children with a small age gap? Especially during your vacation, you will walk around a lot to discover your surroundings – having a pram at hand that both your kids will fit in can be crucial for an enjoyable time together.
Discover our YOYO® double pram 6+ / 6+ to transport two kids from 6 months old and up to 48.5 lbs / 22 kg – the first double pram accepted as cabin luggage by various airlines.
As the most compact two-child transport solution, it takes up very little space in your trunk when folded. Because it is just as wide as a single pram, you can still navigate narrow streets and busy sights without taking up too much space.
Tips for traveling with the YOYO® pram
Make the most out of traveling with kids and your YOYO® pram – read our tips to ensure safe and sound travels:
- Check airline regulations: Before your trip, familiarize yourself with the specific guidelines and restrictions of the airline regarding pram transportation. Some airlines allow you to gate-check the pram, while others require it to be checked in with your luggage.
- Protect the pram: To prevent any damage during transit, consider using a pram travel bag or cover. This will help protect it from scratches, dirt, and other potential hazards.
- Remove accessories: Take off any detachable accessories, such as cup holders or sunshades, and pack them separately. This will help reduce the overall size and weight of the pram.
- Secure loose parts: The YOYO® pram does have movable handles and wheels. Make sure they are securely fastened or locked in place. This will prevent any accidental unfolding or damage during handling.
- Utilize storage space: Take advantage of the pram's storage compartments to pack essential items, such as diapers, wipes, snacks, and extra clothing. This will help maximize space in your other bags and keep necessary items easily accessible.
Using our YOYO® prams in different weather conditions
Equip your YOYO® pram with the right accessories to make it suitable for various weather conditions:
Our YOYO® parasol with UPF 50+ protection and enhanced opacity protects your baby from the sun – and is ideal for a beach holiday. Just apply our YOYO 0+ newborn pack mosquito net to keep mosquitos and insects away from your baby while not compromising on air circulation.
Use our easy to install YOYO 6+ rain cover or the YOYO 0+ newborn pack rain cover to protect your child from rain. Just envelop the canopy to ensure perfect water tightness and enjoy your time outside even in wet weather. If it's cold outside or snowing, our YOYO® footmuff comes in handy! It comes with Sherpa lining with a double layer of padding for optimal comfort and a fleece hood with drawstring to keep your baby even warmer.
