Travel Sized Buggy

Last updated 6th June 2017

A new buggy fresh from the USA has just landed on British shores and it plans to make travelling with babies and toddlers a whole lot easier.

Babyzen YOYO

The new Babyzen YOYO is the first travel buggy to comply with those tideous baggage restrictions that lovely low-cost airlines inflict on us. Rather than lugging a cumbersome pushchair up and down stairs as you make your way through the airport, before folding it up, adding a tag and then having to wait for it at the other end (or even worse, having to check it in), this new buggy folds up so small it will fit in over-head compartments. 

Not only that, but coming in at only 5.8kg the featherweight is light enough to fling over your shoulder – made easy with the handy detachable strap.
