The YOYO5 is Stokke's newest generation of the YOYO, and it keeps the compact concept of the YOYO3 it replaces. The main change is a one-hand, one-action fold: slide, press and lift, and the frame closes to about 52 x 45 x 22 cm with the seat attached. Stokke says that folded size is equal to or smaller than most airline cabin luggage allowances, though you should still check your airline. The stroller weighs about 7 kg. The seat is wider and more padded than before, reclines to 149 degrees and now comes with a five-position leg rest. Storage is a 10 kg basket with wider front and rear openings plus a rear pocket. The stroller seat is from 6 months; for a newborn you buy the Newborn Pack or bassinet, which both lie flat and fold with the frame. It is single only, and its small wheels are made for pavement.

Who it is for

Frequent flyers and city parents on public transport who want the smallest fold and a quality seat.
