QUESTION
Best pick: The Stokke YOYO3 (formerly the Babyzen YOYO2) is the strongest fit for city sidewalks plus a small car trunk. It folds extremely compactly (often fitting in airline overhead bins), is highly maneuverable on tight city streets, and fits effortlessly into the smallest car trunks.
Best for most city families
Maars picked this for city parents who need a stroller that disappears into a small trunk: it is compact, easy to carry, and practical in tight urban spaces.
At a glance
| Babyzen YOYO2 | Joolz Aer+ | Bugaboo Dragonfly | Ergobaby Metro+ Deluxe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best use | Most city families with a small trunk | Frequent folding, lifting, and travel | City walks with more comfort and storage | Compact stroller value |
| Small-trunk fit | Excellent | Excellent | Good, but bulkier | Very good |
| City sidewalk comfort | Good for smooth to moderately rough sidewalks | Good for a compact travel-style stroller | Best of these for longer city walks | Good, with a comfort-focused seat |
| Storage | Limited | Limited | Better | Moderate |
| Main tradeoff | Small basket and compact-stroller ride feel | Less storage and less full-size feel | Takes more trunk space than ultracompacts | Not as premium-feeling or iconic as pricier picks |
