Babyzen Yoyo

Why she did it:A stroller you can take on an airplane as a carry-on? This I’ve got to see.

Plus, celeb mom-of-fiveNatalie Hanson(a fan of the Yoyo), told me on Twitter that she’s constantly “trying to reach a state of stroller nirvana.”

Pros:Well, there’s the obvious: the Yoyo is airline certified to be the size of a piece of carry-on luggage (collapsed size: 20.5 x 17 x 7 inches). And it’s 12.8 pounds.Andit’s got this magical unfold with just the flick of a wrist. (Like a yo yo. Get it?)

t’s a very smooth ride, surprisingly smooth given the size of the stroller, thanks to the “soft drive system” and 4-wheel suspension that the product advertises. It’s such a compact little thing that navigating narrow aisles and crowded spaces is a breeze.

For such a small stroller, the sun canopy is a good size, and the clear plastic window lets you keep an eye on your kiddo without a noisy flap to open.

Cons:The shape of the stroller took a bit of getting used to: the front wheels are wider than the back ones, requiring that awkward shuffle step when you use a new stroller to avoid kicking the wheels.

The verdict:If you travel often with your little one, this is a terrific choice. The small fold-up size simply cannot be beat and comes in incredibly handy while navigating plane or train aisles.

Andnothaving to check your stroller for air travel is a very cool luxury. For use closer to home, going up and down stairs, in and out of the trunk, etc., it’s just as handy, but comes at a higher price than even your luxe umbrella strollers.

Comes with washable padding, a carrying strap, rain cover and travel bag. Suitable for children 6-months-old up to 33 lbs.

Cost:MSRP is $399 and up, depending on where you buy. Clickherefor a list of retailers.
