The suspension has been made slightly softer to improve comfort for both parents and babies, while the front wheels rotate to make it easy to turn corners, even one-handed. Its small footprint and tight turning circle mean it can easily maneuver narrow aisles in shops and hallways and is therefore ideal for city living.

It's a great choice for those who live in the city and often take the tube to work, wish to fold your pushchair and place it in your trunk while driving or need a lightweight pram for days out with just you and baby. It's also eco-friendly.
The YOYO 2 is priced at PS399 for the chassis and 6+ color pack and the newborn bassinet or a branded car seat (sold separately) and you'll pay around PS800 for an entire travel system. This is in line with similar "urban pushchairs" such as the Bugaboo Bee 6. Bugaboo Bee 6.
YOYO 2 folds down to 52 x 44 x 18 or 20 173 x 7.1 in. It is compatible with baggage allowances for cabins set by most airlines. It is also among the few double strollers which can be used right from birth, with either the bassinet for newborns and/or the newborn fabric pack.
It has wheels that are small and are ideal for pavements and grass, but it is able to take on bumpier terrain. However, adventurous families may wish to look at something with all-terrain tires. It's got a clever feature too that is the handlebar can be pulled back to allow you to enjoy a meal at a restaurant after rolling your YOYO 2.
The YOYO 2 with its small turning ratio, is one of the strollers that is easy to navigate. However, it requires two hands to fold and unfold. It is not able to be pulled by its wheels when folded, like some other umbrella pushchairs.

This car seat is an excellent choice for newborns or toddlers because of its big base and i-Size compatibility.

Bugaboo Bee
Modern, practical and affordable stylish, practical and affordable, the Bugaboo Bee is one of the most stylish pushchairs on the market. It's been around since 2007 and recently went through a relaunch with the new Bee 6. The major differences between previous models is the height-adjustable backrest, the larger sun canopy, and the circular joint system that makes it easier to move and face your seat away or towards from you.
The Bee 6 is also a smaller car which makes it ideal for squeezing on to public transport and getting round those city streets that are difficult to navigate. Additionally, its iconic yellow colouring makes it easy for pedestrians to recognize you on the street and for Deliveroo cyclists to see you when they're racing down the street.
It's a delight to drive with a responsive steering and a comfortable suspension. I also loved the large and deep basket, which is ideal for supermarket trips, and the fact that it's accessible, whether you're in the seat facing the other direction or away from it.
Another thing that really impressed me about the Bee is how solid and durable it feels. The handle bar is a joy to hold, and the buggy is a glimmer of quality. It's obvious that this buggy was designed to last for generations.
The Bee isn't inexpensive. It's PS1000 at full price, but it's still cheaper than most other top-of-the-line strollers. It's worth the price, considering the features and build. Particularly for those not as concerned with style as they are with functionality.
Baby Jogger Urban Glide Double
The Baby Jogger Urban Glide 2 Double Jogger comes with stadium-style seating that can hold two children. It can be used with a variety of brands and can fit one car seat. It is more expensive than other strollers on this list, but has a large storage basket and a good quality score. It also has an adjustable bumper bar that can be used to store toys or serve as a resting spot for kids.
This stroller has a sleek design and is easy to push. The three large wheels are fitted with air-filled tires, which make jogging or navigating rough terrain easy. It's also extremely light and comes with a comfortable ergonomic handlebar as well as a foot brake and a hand brake that can be squeezed or pushed. The only downsides to this bike are that it isn't reclined, and the canopy does not completely cover the seat.
Another plus for this stroller is that it can be converted to a light stroller for infants by adding the optional bassinet. It comes with a large shopping basket, which is ideal for grabbing groceries while you are on your way to home. It is very robust and can be used from the start as a walking jogging walking.
It's too big and heavy to fit into narrow doors or a tiny boot. So it's better for families who have an expansive garage or driveway and don't mind carrying it around. The price could be a deterrent for some. It's not compatible with an infant car seats, so you'll need to purchase a bassinet separately for the first 8 months.
