YOYO⁵ Stroller 6+ Complete

by Stokke · Babesta Pick — Most Customizable Ultra-Lightweight Travel Stroller for NYC Families

The new one hand fold YOYO⁵ by Stokke is the gold standard for ultra-compact travel strollers, and for good reason. At 14.8 lbs with a fold that meets cabin baggage standards, it goes from sidewalk to subway car to overhead bin without a second thought. It’s suitable from 6 months out of the box, and with the Newborn Pack or a car seat adapter (both sold separately), it’s birth-ready from day one. However you buy it, you’re covered from the hospital to the airport.

What sets the YOYO⁵ apart from every other stroller in this category isn’t just how it performs — it’s how personal it gets. The canopy and seat pack are interchangeable, which means you can refresh the look any time without buying a new stroller. Babesta carries special edition canopies including the Bonpoint collaboration, the Air France collection, and the Riviera collection alongside the full standard color range. No other ultra-compact stroller in this class offers that kind of ongoing customization.

Specifications

Best For/Not For

Best For

•      NYC families who want one stroller that handles the subway, the cab, and the flight without checking a bag

•      Frequent travelers — cabin baggage compliant fold means gate-check or carry-on (confirm with your airline)

•      Parents who want a stroller that evolves with their style — swap the canopy for a Bonpoint or Air France edition without buying a new frame

•      Walkup apartment dwellers who need something light enough to carry up stairs and compact enough to store in a hallway

•      Families starting from birth — add the Newborn Pack or a car seat adapter and you’re set from day one

•      Design-forward parents who want a stroller with a genuine point of view, not just a utilitarian box on wheels

Not Ideal For

•      Jogging or rough terrain — this is a city and travel stroller, not a trail stroller

•      Families who need a full-size ride quality for long daily park walks; consider pairing with a full-size for those occasions

•      Parents who load the basket heavily on every outing — at 22 lbs capacity it’s solid for this class, but not a full-size basket

•      Parents requiring a literal one-step fold (more on this later)

•      Newborns without purchasing the Newborn Pack or car seat adapter separately (the 6+ version ships seat-only)

Is It Suitable for My Baby’s Age?

Newborn (0–6 months)

Yes, with the right accessories. The 6+ version ships with the toddler seat; add the YOYO⁵ Newborn Pack (sold separately) for a lie-flat newborn setup, or use a compatible car seat with an adapter (sold separately). Alternatively, the YOYO⁵ 0+ version ships with the Newborn Pack included — then you purchase the 6+ seat pack when your baby is ready. Either route gets you full birth-to-toddler coverage on the same frame.

Infant (6–12 months)

Yes — from 6 months the Yoyo3 6+ is ready to go as shipped. The multi-position reclining backrest, 5-point harness, and 4-wheel suspension handle this stage comfortably.

Toddler (1–4 years)

Yes — the upright seat, mesh strap protectors, zipped back pocket for snacks and essentials, and 48.5 lb weight limit carry comfortably through the toddler years and beyond.

Is It Good for NYC / City Use?

Yes — the YOYO⁵ was built for exactly the kind of city life New York demands. The fold is fast enough to do one-handed at a turnstile, compact enough to store under a restaurant table, and cabin-compliant enough to take on a flight to visit family without paying to check it. The integrated shoulder strap means you can sling it hands-free on subway stairs. The 4-wheel Soft Drive™ suspension system handles cracked pavement and curb drops better than most strollers in this weight class.

Beyond that it’s restaurant-ready, with a handlebar that can fold in so that it doesn’t get knocked by a passing server or guest.

Compared to the Joolz Aer2, the YOYO⁵ is similar in weight (14.8 lbs vs. 14.3 lbs) but pulls ahead on customization and newborn flexibility — the interchangeable canopy system means you’re not locked into one look for years, and the 0+ accessory path makes it easier to configure for a newborn without buying a separate bassinet stroller. For families who want their stroller to feel like theirs — not just functional but personal — the YOYO⁵ is the one.

Why Babesta Carries It

We’re a curated store, and in the ultra-compact stroller category the YOYO⁵ earns its spot for two reasons that no competitor has matched. First, the interchangeable canopy system is genuinely unique — no other stroller at this weight and fold size lets you swap the look seasonally without replacing the frame. The Bonpoint and Air France collaborations we carry at Babesta aren’t gimmicks; they’re the kind of thing that makes a well-designed object feel like it belongs to you. In a city where you’re pushing this stroller past the same neighbors every day for three years, that matters.

Second, the birth-to-toddler flexibility is real and practical. The same frame that goes on a flight at 8 months handles pre-school drop-off at 3 years, and the Newborn Pack means you don’t need a separate pram for the early months. The Soft Drive™ suspension and UPF 50+ canopy are the kind of details that show up in daily use — on the walk from the 1 train to the farmer’s market, or across the cobblestones of the West Village. This is a stroller built for the city by people who thought carefully about what city parents actually need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this as my only stroller from birth?

Yes — with the Newborn Pack or a compatible car seat adapter (both sold separately), the YOYO⁵ is birth-ready on the same frame. The 6+ version ships with the toddler seat, so you’d add the Newborn Pack for the early months. Alternatively, the 0+ version ships with the Newborn Pack and you purchase the 6+ seat pack when your baby is ready. Either way, one frame takes you from the hospital to pre-school.

What is the difference between the YOYO⁵ 6+ and the YOYO⁵ 0+?

They use the same frame. The 6+ ships with the toddler seat pack and is ready to use from 6 months; add the Newborn Pack separately for birth use. The 0+ ships with the Newborn Pack for birth use; add the 6+ seat pack separately when your baby is ready. The total investment is the same either way — it’s just a question of which accessory you want in the box.

Can I change the canopy or seat pack?

Yes — this is one of the YOYO⁵’s standout features. The canopy and seat packs are interchangeable, so you can update the look without buying a new stroller. Babesta carries the full standard color range plus special edition collections including Bonpoint, Air France, and Riviera.

Does it work with infant car seats?

Yes, with separately sold car seat adapters. Compatible brands available at Babesta include Nuna Pipa series, Clek Liing, Cybex Aton series, Maxi-Cosi Mico series, and the BeSafe YOYO car seat. Ask our team for the right adapter for your specific car seat model.

Does it really fit in an airplane overhead bin?

It meets cabin baggage standards at its folded dimensions of 20.5″ × 17.7″ × 8.7″, making it one of the few strollers genuinely suitable for carry-on travel. That said, cabin luggage allowances vary by airline — always confirm with your carrier before you fly.

Is it suitable for jogging?

No — the YOYO⁵ is a city and travel stroller, not a jogging stroller. For jogging options, ask the Babesta team.

Is it a two step fold?

No, the new YOYO⁵ now is a one step fold!

Can I try it in person?

Yes — come see us at Babesta Tribeca, 56 Warren Street. Our team can demonstrate the fold, show you the canopy swap system, and roll it on the pavement outside so you can feel the suspension for yourself. We also have a weighted test baby so you get the real feel of it loaded up.

Can I add this to my baby registry?

Yes — the YOYO⁵ is a registry staple at Babesta. A Babesta registry comes with exclusive perks and services, and our team can advise on which YOYO⁵ configuration and accessories best match your lifestyle.
