Bugaboo Ant VS Babyzen Yoyo. Mechanics, Comfort, Use

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

In order to keep our recommendations up to date, we maintain a 'Buyer's Guide' on our Patreon page (with a wide spectrum of models, and a lot of technical and lifestyle-related information). Organizing our recommendations this way makes it easier to include good models that we haven't made review-videos for yet, as well as to remove models which have developed unforeseen wear-issues over time, or which have been weakened by the manufacturer in their current iterations. You can access it here: www.patreon.com/posts/stroller-buyers-37953864 As an independent, consumer-oriented reviewer, we have fewer revenue-streams open to us than the majority of other channels out there, so we do ask for a small donation for access to this guide (as well as a free consultation and access to our other Patreon content). Thanks so much for your help!

I am sooo grateful for this video!! Im a mechanic so i really appreciate the way youve reviewed these i nearly bought them both so i could test them out for myself. I agree with ALL of your points! And ive been able to FINALLY make a decision!!! 🎉

[@barlevi2045]

Would love to know which one you bought in the end ?

[@hernan_guitar]

Great review. The most serious one I’ve seen so far. Well done! I just don’t agree that the gb Pockit is unnecessarily smaller. Its super small size and light weight can be real assets on certain contexts. I bought one specifically for trips, cause I can put it inside my Under Armour roll top backpack (and still fit other stuff inside). In Japan, for example, I was able to help my 3-year-old go up long stairs when visiting shrines and temples (some times situated on hills). My child is now 4 and we still use it.

[@hernan_guitar]

Ashley Gabriela We haven’t bought any yet because my wife is six months pregnant, so we still have time to decide. But I think we’re going to buy the Babyzen Yoyo, unless we find a better option.

[@jingyun4323]

You nailed it mate

[@ladydani05]

Excellent review. Loved it. Thank you!

[@davidbcg286]

By the way, in asia, Silver Cross sells a model called the Wing. It's pretty close to the Yoyo ; but it misses the car seat adapters. It's still better than the Jet from Silver Cross.

[@serraalkoclar4933]

silver cross jet is amazing. you don't have to carry it on your shoulder, turns into a carry-on suitcase and gets very very compact, neater than the yoyo. easy to fold and unfold unlike the bugaboo. has a bumper bar too unlike the others

[@AutoCAD681]

Really inspired by your channel and we just picked up a Babyzen Zen Recaro Stroller for our Scotland trip. We needed something that folded down small for our car but also can handle the cobble road. The stroller was really amazing for the job. When I was cleaning and oiling the stroller before the trip I was really surprised by how well the stroller is built, there are hardly any hair in the wheels, no rust in the axle (which both of my Bugaboo Cameleon3 and Bee plus had). Even before oiling, all of the wheels were spinning like new (which I cannot say the same for my Babyzen Yoyo which we only used for 9months). The sealing and fitting of the wheels are really well design, but the handlebar is a bit questionable. Just thinking it would be really interesting to see a video on Babyzen Zen Recaro, as the unsung hero of yesterday years strollers. Keep up the good work!

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Right on :) I've only come across the Babyzen Recaro once, but I agree it's a pretty nice build. If we get one in again, I'll do a video :)

[@sirenehuang386]

Hi, can you please compare the new Bugaboo Butterfly vs Babyzen Yoyo? Thank you for your video, they are super helpful!

[@EllaBeth30]

Bagaboo Ant is the only stroller where a toddler can sit straight up and doesn’t have to lean forward and strain their neck to see something.

[@taraisfluffy]

What about Silver Cross Jet? Curious for your opinion!

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

We're working on getting one. It looks very promising :)

[@davidbcg286]

@@BarnevognverkstedNo Not as good as the Silver Cross Wing in my opinion. The folding of the Wing is easier that the Yoyo BUT it lacks key features like the car seat adapter which are really nice for the first 6 months.

[@edughaensuccess2938]

Please how con I call you or can you send me your number please

[@97lumilove]

I just got the yoyo2 and my son doesn’t like the seat he always looks uncomfortable :( since he doesn’t get to sit up like he wants to. I think I may get the ant instead

[@irene6953]

Hi! In your opinion, which have a better wheel suspension? Bugaboo ant, yoyo or uppababy minu? Thanks!

[@irene6953]

And which one would you recommend despite the break and the size when folded?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Uppababy Minu by far. Check our review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIW0q6xneb2XfNE

[@aleksandra1650]

Would you recommend the ant if the price was reduced significantly (store closing and cleaning inventory 200$ for a new ant) and we would use it just for travel ?

[@Pammie143]

yes!

[@fluturagilbert1896]

With Bugaboo Ant It’s not like in the videos! They show the operation to be so easy. Not! So difficult to assemble. Not practical at all. You will think: oh small , light easy to travel ( airport, train ..... noooo. The material is quality and construction is good. However, the simple task of unfolding and turning the seat around is enough to frustrate even the most patient parent. We tried to return it, they didn’t accept it and wouldn’t refund the cost! For the money it costs, buy different.

[@unsoundmedia]

I live in a one bedroom condo and is looking for a compact stroller. Is there a compact stroller that you would recommend for everyday use?

[@kaledonia1983]

What about cheaper options ? Could you compare Yoyo to those strollers ? Mountain Buggy Nano EasyWalker Buggy XS Chicco Ohlala CBX Yoki Joie Pact Safety 1st Teeny Thanks

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

We'll get to some of these in the future. If you're buying right now, I'd recommend the original Babyjogger Tour, as it's on sale to make room for the Tour 2 that came out in February. The Tour 2 is better, but the Tour 1 was great as well, especially for the price.

[@jubelbelly]

So I have a client who’s Ants hand bar doesn’t lock into place anymore. Do you have a repair for this?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

No videos unfortunately, but depending on how you're experiencing the problem, it's possible that the internal wires have just disconnected from the handle button - you can check this by disassembling the handle. :)

[@jubelbelly]

@@BarnevognverkstedNo okay great. I will let the client know we could try that. Thanks!

[@tobiasvuorelma2156]

Doesn't both have all-wheel suspension? And the ant has bigger back wheels which should help it in rougher terrain.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

There's no rear wheel suspension on the Ant, The Yoyo has a little suspension in the connection point between the rear frame and the rest of the chassis, but still, neither stroller is meant for any real terrain. The Ant's rear wheels are standard sized for ultra-compacts, but the front wheels are just too small unfortunately, and front wheel size matters more for terrain capability in my experience, as its the first point where a stroller meets bumpy ground as you're pushing it, if that makes sense :)

[@ceeceegilly1376]

Im definitely with TSW on the wheels it really matters! The new yoyo for 2020 has proper suspension :)

[@genevawhite6954]

for Ashley

[@AbdelghafourSaidi]

Can you compare to the uppababy minu

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

working on getting one :)

[@kakefyll]

The ant looks like a nightmare to fold, when youre traveling you want a quick and easy fold

[@alliek2757]

I just returned the ant because of handle

[@edughaensuccess2938]

How much is the Bugaboo Ant and how is the Babysen Yoyo please let me know thanks. Hope they are 2019

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Prices vary all over the place, but the Yoyo is generally a bit cheaper. :)

[@edughaensuccess2938]

How much I just want to know

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

80 usd +/- at the moment, as far as Norway goes.

[@leahg3548]

Can you please do a review and comparison on the maclaren atom?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

I really want to, but we still can't get it in Norway yet unfortunately.

[@leahg3548]

Shame

[@nataliae.1623]

US Model of Bugaboo Ant does NOT have a full recline!

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

It should, but it's only in the reversed seating position :)

[@nataliae.1623]

@@BarnevognverkstedNo Unfortunately it is true, it does NOT recline completely flat. We bought one and thought it may be defective, but Bugaboo US Rep just confirmed it. That's what we got: "since the product came out we have found out that the bugaboo Ant here in the USA will not lay completely flat and we have been advised to express this to our customers as the video that is seen is a video from our over seas headquarters where the seats for the bugaboo Ant does lay at the 180 degree flat position. We have been advised due to government compliance here in the USA, to meet the required compliance, the seat compliance must lay at 165 degree and that is why your bugaboo Ant will only lay as that status."

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Wow. Did not know that. Thanks for the info, we'll make a note in the video description :)

[@basysantos3717]

No entiendo nada. Quiero q me explique en español.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

desafortunadamente mi español no es bueno :)

[@ChiefComplaintX]

Silvercross jet beats them all :)

[@putriatikasari7156]

Chief Complaint does silvercross jet really good? I’m confuse between jet, yoyo, and ant.

[@ChiefComplaintX]

@@putriatikasari7156 I'm still planning on buying. But based on videos and I've personal seen them in stores I'm leaning towards jet. Ant has way to many steps folding and unfolding. Lay flat only when facing towards you. Yoyo is easy to fold/unfold but only for 6mos and up unless you buy extra for 0mos. You have to carry the yoyo on your shoulders, can't stand alone. dirty wheels can rub on you.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

We're trying to get ahold of a Jet. It does look cool from what we've seen on line. :)

[@ChiefComplaintX]

@@BarnevognverkstedNo I've not seen a comparison. hope you'll make one :)

[@ceeceegilly1376]

@@ChiefComplaintX you can buy a footrest for the yoyo which enables it to stand alone, that is a feature i couldnt live without!

너 리뷰 잘하는구나. 자막이나 도표는 없니?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Thanks for the compliments, we're not big enough yet to afford translation to Korean, but hopefully we will be in the future :)

[@hhhgggtttdrf]

@@BarnevognverkstedNo I mean, it doesn't have to be Korean subtitles. I just wanted to say that the reviews would be more approachable to me or to other audiences if they have tables or other visual ques since you talk a little fast(at least to me, if your videos are aiming the global mass who use English as their second language) and you are actually dealing with figures of couple different baby carriages. I really enjoyed your video. Thank you! I was almost about to swipe my credit card for getting Ant. This channle is $$$$ saver.
