1. Babyzen YOYO2

It scored well in our Strollers & Multiples Test for weight and fold dimensions. This means it's lightweight and compact when folded and easy to lift and store into a car trunk. It also features a multi-position reclined seat and a cup holder for the parent. Other features worth mentioning include two large hanging storage bags as well as 360-degree front wheels that are shock-absorbing.
In our test of the push and turn, it did better than many of the other strollers that we tried, but it's not the most comfortable to maneuver on uneven terrain or through narrow doorways. The sunshades on it were among the tiniest of strollers we test. They only cover the top, and do not feature peekaboo windows. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 and Zoe Twin+ have much larger canopies.
