BABYZEN YOYO2 VS Bugaboo Ant | Stroller Comparison | Yoyo Review | Magic Beans

[@hollyanne4856]

MY Opinion ONLY, maybe some others will have same issues though.....Ive had the Yoyo2 brandnew spent like £500 on it or more for newborn pack and 6+ (both which I had to buy seperately which was annoing in itself..ive never had to do that before?) , the newborn part was amazing, fell in LOVE with it for his first 6 months of life! Loved it, lightweight , easy to push, get in anout of the car after giving birth/having bad neck etc, honestly its a breeze, we took it to Paris with us and out 7 week old (also have an older girl and she loves to push this pram as its her height its great) Im 5ft2 so great for me also. ..suspension light not many other travel pishchairs have this so its a bonus....now when we moved up to the 6+ unit...this is when things changed for me, quite recently I transitioned (as we have a travel system for day to day) I want to take this on a long haul with us, and have been using it again..my 10 month old HATES the seat unit, as its always at an angle, it doesnt lie flat, but it also doesnt sit upright, he tips to the side, the fabric is extremely slippery. I thought it was his snow suit, but mope it was hot yesterday so he was in his normal cotton clothing and slid to the side, screamed whenever I tried to sit him up, whihc was also annoying as the straps start really far down the back and then curve upwards with the padded belt, and it just doesnt seem to fit right? Maybe I havent given it enought time due to stress and the angle of the seat. The only way I can describe it , is a bit like being strapped to the bottom of a metal slide where the slopes not quite ended yet but the end hasnt begun its somehwere inbetween. SOOO with my longhaul being 4 weeks away, I thought I cant do this to him, so i reseached some second hand ones (as spent so much on prams already) ...looked at the Bugaboo Ant...just bought it so I will do an update in about 4 weeks about how it compares to the YoYo. So far what I DO know is that the seat is both world/parent facing with option to recline fully (yes one way only) and sit fully UPRIGHT, which is what an older baby would like to do so...update soon. :)

Assembly took about 10 minutes. Tried the kzbin.infoUgkxH6qKgszNeMi7lLzvjBifqEp-DqTXB2AG stroller with our grandson, and he loved it! It wheels effortlessly and folds simply. Length folded is about 48“ x 4“. Not sure why other reviewers are having difficulty with the canopy staying attached, but I have not had this problem. Would definitely recommend it.

[@Here2vibe]

Perhaps this will be useful to some, but the Bugaboo Ant is possible to push from a power wheelchair, it's also very easy to put a child into the Ant from a wheelchair because the handle can be adjusted out of the way while the seat is facing you. Also the straight handle is nice for keeping the stroller steady when pushing from a wheelchair. The Yoyo CAN seem a bit shaky when pushed from a wheelchair and the round handle can be hard to maneuver one-handed from a chair, however, disabled parents who can are walking but only have the use of one hand find the round handle of the Yoyo really helpful so be mindful of that too. They're both lightweight, which is great, but the lesser amount of steps when folding really speaks well for the Yoyo. I'm a disabled parents and I'm really torn between these two for our new baby. It's basically down to the folding, but the Ant is coming out on top in every other way for me. With more than one child you'll need to bring lots of stuff, I'm really curious of how these two come out in terms of storage and possibility to hang things on the handle.

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Lena, this feedback is so valuable. I’m thrilled to have you in the community. Sadly, I don’t know as much as I should about strollers for parents with disabilities. Please keep in touch any let us know what works for you. I imagine it can help other parents with disabilities. Eli

[@neemambeju5306]

I bought bogaboo ant for my three old daughter i am so happy with it its so amazing 🤩 i cant believe how its easy to use

[@laurareznick9097]

Can I use the Ant as an every day stroller? All of the so-called every day (aka full-sized) strollers I checked out at Buy Buy Baby were too heavy (and bulky) to be constantly putting in and out of the car. If the Ant doesn't fit the bill, is there another stroller

[@hotchacha9437]

He said comment and let’s talk about it, but he never responded. Rather disappointing.

[@Limoeira149]

I have the ant and bought the turtle car seat and it fits just fine on the ant adaptors and the stroller. Why isn't it recommended?

[@AnaCarolinaRuiz]

Hello, can I fold the stroller with one hand and carry the baby in the other hand? I need to take the stair 3 floor to my apartment with the baby and the stroller

[@MrPikkoz]

You can do it with the Yoyo, you need to fold the handlebar (1st step) with your two hands, then lift to carry the baby and then kneel to reach the latch to fold it down.

[@mhutka]

I have the bugaboo ant and what I missed this year is the breezy sun canopy which they don't seem to make for the Ant.

[@ceeceegilly1376]

You made some really valid points in this video aswell, you know youre stuff!

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Thanks :) Eli

[@phia8723]

I am considering between these two. Which one is better for everyday use? And long hours like maybe more than 4 hours used?

[@faithportis]

Hiya could you please compare these two with icandy raspberry? Thank you x

[@veralgarin]

Wish the Ant had more height for taller kids and also it the details were nicer. I don’t like the other stroller. I like the Mios, Silver Cross Jet and Wave and Thule urban glide 2 all for different functions/lifestyle. How many strollers does one actually need?

[@pranayrao]

Is there a yoyo 2 vs joolz aer review somewhere?

[@daryasmirnova5562]

Does the bee 5 cocoon really fits the ant stroller and if it’s necessary for newborns? I’ve heard a lot of controversial comments

[@MagicBeansVideos]

It really does, and it's recommended by Bugaboo for newborns. I'd probably use a cocoon if I were using the Ant with my newborn. Eli

[@mhutka]

yes, I used it last winter with my Ant, it's chic and cosy inside and you can choose different colours

[@ceeceegilly1376]

Oh my god i needed this vid sooo much! I was completely torn between the two an being able to see them reviewed side by side is sooo helpful! However, still a little torn aha! Theyre so gorgeous!!

[@Ehhhhhh2178]

Do I mind if I ask if you got either of these and if so, which one? Im torn between these two as well!

[@TT76472]

We trialled both and prefer the Ant. It’s a better built quality and more ergonomic to use. Also prefer the way it packs down to be flush without sticking out in overhead lockers. Yoyo is a bigger seat and is quicker to reposition.

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Unfortunately the Bugaboo Ant was discontinued. However, they recently released the Bugaboo Butterfly travel stroller!

[@justinjam7376]

If I’m getting the car seat, could I just skip the new born attachment on baby zen yoyo? So I could just use the car seat all the time while he’s still small then move him to the 6+ months when he’s bigger?

[@MrPikkoz]

For the safety (SIDS) and comfort, a newborn needs to lie flat to allow proper breathing, they can be seated in a car seat in a near upright position for short periods and it's widely suggested no more than two hours. The only way , for what i can see it, is to get one of those car seats that can fold flat or near flat when on the pram, but as far as i know the only folding car seat compatible with the yoyo is the Cybex cloud (Q/Z). This is the Cybex Cloud Q reclined to near flat on a babyzen frame kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqS5aY2wi9irers .

[@laurencapstick7096]

I have a kiddy evo-luna i-size car seat which lies flat and is compatible with the yoyo. I used it all the time with my 1st child with our large travel system so I hardly ever used the newborn carry cot. With my 2nd child I honestly think I could do without the newborn carry cot. I think it depends on your lifestyle. If u get around mostly by car and get in and out all the time, a lie flat car seat would be enough.

[@kunalsingal6383]

@@laurencapstick7096 Hi Lauren- Do you need to buy any adaptors to use evo-luna i-size with yoyo? Does the baby lie at 180 degrees to be comfortable vs a bassinet/newborn package?

[@funeralised]

Seems a lot of steps to fold and unfold the bugaboo .. I have the babyzen and I find it so much quicker to fold and unfold

[@Notta_Brat]

Just found you... have a 3 year old... plan8ng a trip for his 5th birthday and looking at the bugaboo ant... just for getting around Disney world and a cruise ship... would you consider it good for that???

[@heatherhughes1091]

I want that bassinet

[@laurenmackie6183]

Hey Eli- loooove your videos and your wisdom! Thank you- been following you for a long time- which would you pick for a 2 year old- traveling in Europe- winter time- between the bee 5- and the YOYO? Thank you for your expertise 😎

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Thanks, Lauren!!! Both great options but I’d probably go with the Yoyo because it’s smaller but the Bee5 will push better for longer walks. Eli

[@laurenmackie6183]

Magic Beans Videos thank you so much for your reply! 😉

[@scezzi]

Europe has a lot of cobble stones in the old city centers. You might want to consider this 😊

[@anaem5865]

I sold my Ant and ordered a yoyo2 instead. The Ant had too many steps and it use to get stuck while folding almost every other time! I was sent a new one from Bugaboo but still wasnt the best! Hopefully the yoyo will be better.

[@MagicBeansVideos]

I'm sure you'll love it!

[@ykpan3789]

Hi Can you do a comparison of above two strollers with ride along board?

[@marcegamez5822]

I would love that video, too!!!

[@connieli5924]

Hello, just have a question about the newborn position of the Ant. Would you hear a “click” sound when you adjust it to the deepest recline position? Thanks

[@elyak]

I'm wondering that too. My seat doesn't stay put; as in, if I would lift it out of full recline, it doesn't require me to use the adjuster lever in the back. It just pops right up. Is that normal?

[@sarinabolla7629]

The bugaboo ant has an adjustable handle

Yoyo2 vs Silver Cross Jet 2 vs Bugaboo Ant - Which is best for 6' + parents? Biggest basket? Folder size depth?

We can absolutely help out at mbeans.com/consultations! This decision can be really hard so its important to get all the details. We can help through phone, video, or email. I will say that I'm also 6 foot and I love the YoYo most!

The yoyo2

[@syazwanihamdan4612]

Was torn between ant and yoyo2 so this video has been very helpful! So the ant can be used for newborn without the newborn bassinet? Some websites says u need the cocoon bassinet for newborn.. so am a bit confused

[@MagicBeansVideos]

The Ant needs the Cocoon to be newborn friendly, you are correct!

[@tierawashington246]

I write bugaboo they said you can use the turtle car seat with adapters however you have to use the turtle one.

[@anaem5865]

Is it worth selling my ant for a yoyo for a 2 year old??

[@MagicBeansVideos]

That's up to you! A lot of parents like the reversible seat and other awesome features of the Ant, but the seat is small so if you think your kiddo will outgrow it the YOYO2 might be a good switch.

HELLO I HAVE THE BUGABOO ANT. CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO BOUT ALL THE NEW ACCESSORIES EXTENDED FOOTREST... PLEASE. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE VIDEOS VERY HELPFUL !!!

[@QuftprP]

Hey! do you like your ant? that's what I want the most now. I am more towards compact size strollers than deluxe/big ones. I know it takes extra steps for ant to fold/unfold but it should be okay in daily use. Do you like it? :-)

[@mhutka]

I second that !

[@Glamorrous]

So the yoyo doesn’t actually accommodate a 50lbs baby in the US? 😕

[@funeralised]

Glamorrous it does .. the babyzen yo-yo 2 does not the original

[@noraii3479]

I’m a new mom to be I need a stroller as an investment from newborn till 5 yr what do you recommend.. thank you

[@cloudedcolour5329]

@ashley no actually its not, the best bets to get a stroller for the mall, zoo, airports, anywhere with crowds that you don't want a child out of reach.

[@cloudedcolour5329]

Vista, bob or joolz strollers

[@roseonallsides701]

Why are you playing safe? Your loyalty should be to the customers, not to the brands. That's the reason we come to you. Say it the way it is.

[@MagicBeansVideos]

My loyalty is always to the customers, and I know from doing this for 16 years that my opinion about what I’d choose doesn’t matter. It’s about clearly explaining to benefits so customers can make up their own minds. In the case which stroller do you think I should advocate for? Eli
