✈️ Traveling with a baby? Your stroller will either save your trip—or ruin it.
As parents who travel often, we quickly learned that not all baby gear is made for the road (or airport). After testing multiple strollers on flights, trains, and cobbled streets in Europe, we found the one that changed everything: the Babyzen Yoyo+.
But is it really worth the price tag?
Let’s break it down 👇
👶 What makes a stroller travel-friendly?
Before diving into models, here’s what you should look for when choosing a travel stroller:
- Compact when folded (ideally cabin-size)
- Lightweight enough to carry with one hand
- Reclining seat for naps on the go
- Durable wheels for uneven streets
- Easy folding mechanism (trust us: airports are not the place for 3-step folding puzzles)
⭐ Why we picked the Babyzen Yoyo+ ( https://amzn.to/4j4mkEi )
After trying out 5 different brands, here’s why the Yoyo+ came out on top:
✅ Fits in overhead compartments on most airlines
✅ One-hand fold (yes, really)
✅ Smooth ride – even on cobblestones
✅ Reclines nearly flat for naps
✅ Stylish and sturdy
We’ve used it in Lisbon, Marrakech, and on 12+ flights — and it’s never let us down.
🛑 The downside?
It’s not cheap.
💸 Retail price: around €400–€450
💡 But compared to bulky strollers that break in transit or have to be gate-checked and lost? It’s an investment in stress-free travel.
✈️ Other popular travel strollers (shortlist):
| Model | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Ergobaby Metro+ | Great comfort | Heavier than Yoyo |
| GB Pockit | Smallest fold ever | No recline |
| Joolz Aer | Sleek + easy | Handlebar not adjustable |
| Bugaboo Butterfly | High-end feel | Pricey, limited recline |
🧳 Our tip:
If you’re planning more than one trip a year and want independence (especially in cities), it’s absolutely worth getting a compact travel stroller. Your back and your sanity will thank you.
