Comparing in Weight and Portability

Weight and portability are key to a travel stroller, since parents may need to carry them through an airport, up stairs or onto public transportation. Thanks to its aerospace-grade carbon fiber frame, the MAMAZING Ultra Air is incredibly strong yet airy – weighing only 11.5 pounds. This is one of the lightest full-featured strollers in the market, perfect for parents that have their hands full or are traveling alone. By comparison, the Babyzen YOYO2 is 14 pounds and made of aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and fiberglass-reinforced plastics. It also weighs 2.5 pounds less, which you may begin thanking yourself for after a long carry.

Portability-wise, folded size is the key, and both travel strollers are created to be stored in airplane overhead bins, an important feature for travel by air. The MAMAZING Ultra Air folds to the folded size is similar to a 21” carry on, 21 x 14 x 9”, which fits the carry on size of most of airline, (MAMAZING Official Website) The Babyzen YOYO2 folds up to a compressed 20.5” x 17.3” x 7.1” (3,500 cubic inches), keeping it among the most compact of the pack with some small business on tight room real estate like airplane aisles or tiny car trunks (BabyGearLab). Both strollers come with carry straps for travel, although the YOYO2’s more compact fold is appealing to those focusing on space constraints, and the MAMAZING’s lighter weight does reduce the load on your arms and back.

Mechanism for Folding and Ease of Use

A simple to use folding mechanism is a must-have for a travel stroller, when a parent has to fold it in a rush while having one eye on a child or luggage. Both the MAMAZING Ultra Air and Babyzen YOYO2 have one-hand folding, essential when it comes to travel ease.

The folding feature on the MAMAZING Ultra Air is simple and easy to do – owners say it’s a breeze to learn after 5-6 practice runs (Parenthood Adventures). And for those moments you need to transition from the taxi to the terminal, the convenience of the one-hand fold will give you peace of mind. And the design of the stroller means you can fold and pick it up with just one hand, which is something us parents love when we are multitasking. Its ease of portability is maximized by the included travel bag and padded shoulder strap.

The Babyzen YOYO2 also delivers one-handed folding, one of its signature feature from the beginning. Some users do say that the fold is a bit trickier, as you will need two hands for some steps, and also will need practice in order to master it (BabyGearLab). We also appreciate its one-of-a-kind fold-in-thirds design, which gets it to its ultracompact size though could be slightly less intuitive than competitors. That said, the YOYO2 does have a solid folding mechanism and will likely serve frequent travelers well, once they get the hang of using it.

In terms of technology, both strollers are outstanding in maneuverability. The MAMAZING Ultra Air’s all-terrain EVA shock absorbing tires offer a comfortable ride on different strolling surfaces, from city streets to park trails. The YOYO2, with four-wheel suspension and wider front wheels, is ideal for smooth surfaces like pavement, but can also tackle light grass or gravel (BabyGearLab). The MAMAZING may win out for easier folding; the YOYO2’s suspension allows for better handling in the city.
