Bugaboo Ant vs Babyzen Yoyo+ | Lightweight Compact Travel Stroller Comparison 2019

[@lollyaziz8425]

The fold and unfold on the Ant would drive me crazy! So many various steps, looks so clumsy next to the Yoyo! I'll definitely be sticking with my Yoyo which I love!

[@Travellifechoseme]

Although Ant is harder to figure out at first hover once you have worked it out it’s great. I love how it looks and that it can lie down when need be and can be seated when need be.I have no complaints.

[@hanaelachok]

I used my Yoyo+ from when my bub was born until now (12 months) - LOVE IT SO MUCH!! I don't like the look of the Ant as much as Yoyo+ and the fold is definitely easier with Yoyo+. Two things I like more on Ant is that (1) it's got reversible seat and (2) you can roll it!

[@MsKarCake]

Yoyo is an amazing stroller. A life saver during travelling.

[@accw34]

Can you demonstrate how to fold the Ant while carrying a baby? It looks like I have to put my baby on the floor to fold this bad boy up.

[@christineeef]

accw34 this is what I was thinking! When Im taking a cab alone bugaboos are soo complicated to fold and its not like I can tell the driver to hold the baby for me! I think the babyzen looks much more easier to be folded and less time too

[@jukimies]

accw34 I just tested that. You can fold and unfold the Ant while carrying a baby. Give no excuses to buy the Yoyo, the Ant is absolutely superb compared to Yoyo.

You're great ❤️ . Thanks! Eli

[@meowmi1130]

I've heard quite a few complaints that the Ant is too short and narrow for their 2Y but it came to my surprise that the seat is longer than the Yoyo by a lot. Not sure if those reviewers had tried Yoyo though.

[@alexa3669]

The ant seat is awful! That can’t justify the huge price tag good review though with measurements!

[@christineeef]

The bugaboo always have to be so complicated folding, I loved my cameleon but I think Im going for a yoyo this time x

[@MrsJackson-gf3yn]

I like strollers with sides. The Ant doesn’t have any sides for the baby to lay their head when they doze off. I’m all for the yoyo

[@jamie-leedonnelly1056]

Great vlog, hard choice between them, love to see the accessories comparison, does the rain cover, cover the full stroller ie the whole hood and sides, cup holder foot muff, in England with the weather can you fold the ant with the muff on, ride on matching bag, and the new born accessory 🥰

[@williambenitez5908]

Works great with our car seat! Love it and easy to open and close!

[@amiraalias9578]

Hi Eli, do you prefer the Ant or the Cybex Mios? I’m so confused between the two. My Baby is 3 months old. I can’t decide. Please let me know, thanks!

[@lolaj6674]

Can you compare those with Maclaren Atom?

Cual recomendáis más el yoyo2 o el bugaboo ant? What is the best?

I’m curious to know how it stands in terms of comfort for baby!!! I love my Yoyo for its functionality but don’t feel it’s really comfortable for my baby as he’s always slipping down in it. 😕

[@lesliewongrutt6272]

Yes also wondering this

The Ant seems about the same as the Yoyo. Eli

[@Courtrhebekah]

Why can't these good quality micro strollers fold down one handed? I have reviewed 19 strollers, and it can be done.

[@itsandrewbitch1824]

Uppababy Minu can do that!

[@Courtrhebekah]

@@itsandrewbitch1824 I got that one. The frame is SO sturdy. I might end up keeping it, but it is SO heavy!

[@carolinagarcia5198]

Hi! can you take the newborn bassinet of the YOYO inside the plane too? If not what are you supposed to do with it once you get to the gate if you do not need to check in the stroller part?

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Unfortunately you'd likely have to gate check it since you can't rest it on the seat you purchased for baby, and it detaches to it is not part of the stroller itself when folded.

[@seanahotty]

Great reviews but links arent available

@@MagicBeansVideos unfortunately, this is either the wrong link or you haven't shown it yet? Why is it so hard to find videos with the newborn version? Bugaboo has one bit turned off the comments for it. I guess that's because this just is not a very good thing for newborns.

Hi, Is the bugaboo ant For newborns - 8 week Baby, just with the reclinable seat- without the Cocoon? That is what I was told in a Shop. Thank you!

The ant is too expensive with wayyy to many steps. You can’t be fumbling around at the airport with baby in tow

The ant has too many steps. I can't imagine going thru security at the airport, and trying to fold the ant with my toddler in my arms LOL I love my bugaboo buffalo and had high Hope for their new travel stroller, but I'm keeping my yoyo for sure more functional.

I owned every brand of stroller. Bugaboo donkey the best but the worst for needing to fold. I have Yoyo which I use the most while commuting on subway/uber. Tempted to purchase this because there's nothing like Bugaboo Board. Same cost as BabyZen but does not compare (also have board for yoyo). Should I take the leap and purchase the Ant???

Thanks for you feedback, Karina. Eli

Moving to London from TEXAS, land of open spaces to city/suburbs/trains/buses etc. Need an everyday stroller that also does well with rain cover. Looking at City Mini GT2 or the YOYO, HELP! I have a 15 month old and want it to last as long as it can. Thank you!

Bugaboo bee, cosatto, egg

[@hannavanburen6422]

I need a stroller to travel to Brazil. I don’t like the Cosco umbrella because of the wheels get stuck. I’ll be in rio, my child is going to be three. I don’t want a ridiculous large stroller because of safety. I also need a car seat for toddler that is portable for a toddler because I’m not renting a car I own a keenz that I love and a Graco jogging stroller. I can’t take either because I’ll stick out as a sore thumb. The keenz would be perfect because I can put a car seat in it plus my child, but it’s not safe in Brazil to prance with my stroller. Which stroller would you recommend? I don’t have a newborn lol I wish the Doona would work for toddler

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Either of these strollers would be a great choice and would compliment your current gear assortment. Eli

[@evehg117]

I have the Yoyo and tried the Ant, and I think the Yoyo still wins. It's lighter, the folding mechanism is incredible, the seat is wider and more comfortable for the child, and the wheels are sturdier yet still compact enough to bring on the shoulder. The folding mechanism for the Ant is ridiculous. Where will I put a crawling baby while opening/folding the stroller? The Yoyo is also 100€ cheaper. The Ant looks nice, as expected from Bugaboo, but I really can't see how it's made to rival Yoyo except catering to Bugaboo only fans.

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Nice review! Thanks :) The Ant fold isn’t as bad as it seems once you get the hang of it. Thanks!!! Eli

Will they be making adapters for the Pipa (not lite)?

regarding the height measurement, even tho ant has taller seat, but in term on actual situation, yoyo could cater taller kids compare to ant due to space availability, ant seat height much restricted by the canopy cover, appreciate the feedback.

[@knuckles2587]

Does anyone know if these would count as your carry on item allowance

[@tiarnflorence6296]

If you're taking it as carry on luggage then it definitely counts towards your overall allowance.

[@jingyun4323]

I just flew with Emirates and it does not count towards inflight carry on allowance.

[@SF-pe3qf]

Depends on the airline. Generally, it does count as a carry-on. If baby has their own purchased ticket, it can easily count as baby’s carry-on bag if baby doesn’t have their own suitcase. Some airlines are starting to be more baby-friendly though, and don’t count a compact stroller as a carry-on. United used to count my compact stroller (I have a CityTour) as a carry-on, but they no longer do! My last few flights with them I’ve been able to take the diaper bag and stroller on board without counting towards our carry-on allowance.

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.

[@Dani-Heli]

The easywalker buggy xs is way better than both of them

[@MagicBeansVideos]

I don't agree. Why do you think that? Eli

[@Kampffischdame]

I tried all 3, and we use the Easywalker since 4 Month nearly every day. One Hand foldable... when you hold a baby/toddler... big rear Space... footholder... price... the only plus for the babyzen are the addons... but they cost... so youre pqy over 500...600€ at least for a Buggy... Easywalker only 100-150€ 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@michelle1708]

Ant is a beautiful piece of engineering but it just doesn't appear to have been tested with real parents. It's impossible to fold and unfold when on your own carrying a baby in hurried travel situations. The seat looks flat and skinny and feels exposed and uncomfortable for baby in napping situations. I imagine this would appeal to first time parents who travel with help / partner and who are generally ignorant about how important it is to be able to do things one handed in as few steps as possible. 😂

[@MagicBeansVideos]

I agree, that this cannot be done (easily) one-handed. But it doesn’t take that long to fold 9 seconds vs. 3 seconds. This is a travel stroller so it’s not going to be as lux as a full sized stroller. I’d suggest stopping by a store to see for yourself. It’s actually pretty nice. Thanks Eli
