  For what it is worth, we recently tried a bunch of these folding prams and went with the Joolz Aer+. It is so vastly superior to the Yoyo2 in a number of ways, including general rigidity, a better seatbelt latching mechanism, and a more cavernous bottom basket. We got ours for ~$580 on a recent Baby Kingdom special.

    I think it's definitely worth trying them both out (fold mechanism, etc), to see which you prefer. These are the two best options, in my personal opinion.

    FWIW, we chose to buy a second Yoyo over getting an Aer+ (Aer wasn't around when we bought the first Yoyo). There are definitely things that are much nicer on the Aer+ (like the one-handed fold). But the Newborn Nest for the Yoyo is far more compact than the hard bassinet options for both the Yoyo and Aer+, which was probably the main reason we went with the Yoyo.

    And the fold, while it is more complicated on the Yoyo, is a bit of an overblown issue to us personally: yes, it isn't as simple and joyous to use as the one-handed fold on the Aer+. But in practice, after doing the first stage of the Yoyo fold two-handed (folding the handlebar down), it also is a one-handed fold from that point as well - and we find it totally fine (there has never been a time where doing the first stage two-handed has ever been an issue for us). And actually, the two stage fold has been a positive feature for us, as we very often use the pram with the handlebar folded down (at the table in restaurants, etc) to take up less space. So what is always billed as a major advantage of the Aer+ is actually a major advantage of the Yoyo to us. YMMV, of course.

    The other major advantage of the Yoyo for us is one-handed pushing: the one-hand-fold mechanism on the Aer+ is precisely in the spot where I would want to hold the pram for one-handed pushing (for balance), and makes it more awkward for me to hold. So for me, it's more comfortable to push the Yoyo one handed (which I do more often than not) than the Aer+. Again, YMMV.

    Yoyo is also more compact and recognised by airport staff, which is handy.

    Add to that, for us, the flexibility of accessories sharing between two prams, and a second Yoyo was a no-brainer choice for us (unfortunate for me, because I actually wanted to get an Aer+, to have one of each!). But even if we didn't have our first Yoyo, I think we still would have gone with a Yoyo.

    But definitely, I would agree with trying them both, and see which you prefer! Our "main" pram is a Joolz, btw - my wife LOVES Joolz (and yet, she is the one who chose the Yoyo over the Aer+). :)

    Another vote for the Yoyo 2 here. (Curious if the original commenter has actually had real world usage of both…)

    We have had our YoYo for years (after cycling though many bigger bulkier alternatives). It has served three kids well which speaks to its high build quality. We have taken it on A LOT of overseas flights/ trips and have never had an issue with it anywhere (narrow Tokyo ticket gates, trains, etc). Also, airline staff recognise it straight away which for us is a major draw card.
    Another plus is the amount of excellent accessories (bassinet, skateboard, foot rest/foot muff, shopping duffle bag etc) which are easily bought and sold secondhand- excellent resale value and easy secondhand market.

    We still use ours and always recommend it to other parents Love its compact size and weight- it has been a game changer for us.

      Yes, we borrowed a friend's Yoyo 2 for a while before going for the Aer+. Have you had real world usage of both before making your unbridled recommendation? :)

      • 

        stonedewok on 20/05/2024 - 13:09

        Ok, that is nice for you.
        In honesty no, I have not tried that particular model (others, yes).
        Difference is, I never attempted to make comparisons that one is "so vastly superior in a number of ways" to another?

        This post is for the Yoyo2, and I am speaking to our very positive experience of owning one - hardly "unbridled" lol.

        Anyway, enjoy your purchase, sounds like you did your homework.

        Same experience with yoyo and aer+. Would reco the joolz for sure. Much nicer to handle and much smoother to push. I'd just add the foldable bumper bar and you're set. Comes with a 10 year warranty too.

        • 

          xyron on 20/05/2024 - 13:13

          @911r: Yes, the bumper bar is on our list of things to buy. Thankfully the Aer+ bumper bar folds down with the rest of the pram - the old model required you to take it off, which certainly took a shine off the "one handed fold" selling point!

          • 

            911r on 20/05/2024 - 13:14

            @xyron: You can use the foldable bumper with the old one too now. But yeah they should have made them foldable to begin with.

            Also no issues on flights. I think the days of yoyo being the only one that attendants knows are over there are many options now and generally they care more that you have the bag to put it in.

      I have similar experiences as this. Ours has been all over the place and it still feels like new. Once you get used to the folding, it's no issue at all. We also really appreciate that every airport/airline staff member knows what a YoYo is as well, and I see one hell of alot of them at the airport all the time.

      Our daughter has outgrown it and we are keeping it for child 2, but in the meantime we lend it out and it's still trucking along like we just bought it. It's been around for a long time and you don't see many issues or questions with longevity/quality

      Not sure why you are attacked for liking a product?

    used the Yoyo 2 for about a year and the Aer+ for the last 4 months - actually got the Aer after Jetstar lost our Yoyo. Summary:

    Yoyo 2
    - Pros: mechanically very sturdy (no cables and all), good accessories
    - Cons: the folding is a bit clunky, mostly cos of how the wheel-axle placement is designed, sometimes the wheel gets stuck and I have to manually make sure the wheels are pointing the same way (sometimes getting my finger pinched). Lie flat isn't really low enough for comfortable naps

    Aer+
    - Pros: the fold is very slick, and lie flat is more flat than the Yoyo (but the zipper is kinda cumbersome)
    - Cons: Unsure if mechanically will last over time. It's been fine so far but I'd imagine that's the first component to fail. Carry strap feel a bit flimsy (it's one of those stretchy ones).

      Spot on with the tricky folding mechanism and thanks for the comparison.

      The staff performing a demonstration at the weekend's baby expo ran into this same issue on first demonstration and had to give it a light slap out of the way. Can see that being an issue if you are juggling a baby, shopping, phone, etc on one hand along with the two button press on the sides.

      My sister swears by the Yoyo 2 (they travel a lot for her husband's work and has used one for two kids).

      The Aer+ looks really good.

    kaizilla on 20/05/2024 - 16:04

    The Aer+ is not for us. Maybe the EU model does, but they are not selling to Australia. The flat recline was the selling point. the AER+ backboard is not tall enough. I bring my Yoyo to the compare side by side. Visually, the AER+ looks bigger, which may cause it not able to be brought into the flight.

    • 

      caprimulgus on 20/05/2024 - 17:15

      Yeah, lay flat recline is not available here on any compact stroller (for safety compliance reasons). I think only EU and asian versions of the Aer+ have the lay-flat.

      Personally, I prefer to use Newborn Nest on the Yoyo, as it feels more secure without having to do the baby up in the harness. But it is an added expense, for sure.

      • 

        tkboi on 20/05/2024 - 21:52

        if im misunderstanding "lay flat recline" but there are plenty strollers out there that you can lay flat the chair?

        We got a silver cross jet and that lays fully flat. One of many strollers that do

        • 

          caprimulgus on 20/05/2024 - 23:11

          @tkboi: Interesting. That is what I had read / the reason I was given for the lay flat not being available on the Aer+ in the USA and Australia. Perhaps it is particular to the Joolz Aer's design, that the lay flat functionality they had implemented on the pram was not compliant with standards.

          (Not a function that I actually care about - hence not realising it was available on the Silver Cross and other prams. But good to know!)

          Strange that they removed that functionality from the Aer+, when other travel strollers have it! It's billed as one of the major features in the markets where it does have it, so they wouldn't remove that functionality without reason!

      This is the real value play - shame Target don't seem to be selling them anymore (just selling the Kmart Anko models).

      Spending $600 on a travel pram was a hard pill to swallow but it kept the other half happy so c'est la vie. Our main local walking pram is a $50 Steelcraft Strider that we got off facebook marketplace!

        Yeah we took a chance on it when it was newly released at the time, after deliberating for the longest time about whether we should get an expensive 'brand name' travel stroller (like the Yoyo). Glad we didn't in the end and saved a bunch of $$$!

  Dad of a 6yo who has been through a few long trips (including family visits overseas):
  - there are very similar options of this model available online for 1/5 or less of this price. We used one for a few trips, and they worked great. It even became our daily stroller as it was so practical
  - when the kids get a little older and you need to use it as a portable chair only (no baby stuff), the ultra-lights like the Qbit ones can be your solution (can fit in a backpack)

    caprimulgus on 20/05/2024 - 16:48

    They seem to be the most popular prams (for full sized prams). For travel prams, I would say Yoyo is probably most popular (and then Aer), at least amongst the more high end ones.

    Personally, we use our "travel pram" (Yoyo) much more than our full size pram (Joolz Geo2), but YMMV. Around home: Joolz. Everywhere else (unless we know we are spending a lot of time off-road): Yoyo.

    (Having multiple prams for different uses is obviously not necessary - but it is a nice convenience to have, and we have mostly purchased second hand to make multi-pram ownership more affordable!)

    cynicor on 20/05/2024 - 20:33

    The bugaboo butterfly is excellent. Larger basket I believe, and possibly more recline. Not used the yoyo though. Also the add on scooter is great.
