The Stokke YOYO³ ($599 AUD) folds to 52 × 44 × 18 cm, meeting IATA cabin-baggage specifications. It is accepted on Qantas, Jetstar, and Virgin Australia as carry-on luggage. No other premium pram in our comparison folds to cabin-approved dimensions.
The Stokke YOYO³ is the lightest premium pram at 6.1 kg, making it the best choice for air travel and public transport. The Bugaboo Fox 5 (10.5 kg) and Nuna Mixx Next (11.2 kg) are significantly heavier but offer more features for daily use at your destination.
If you're checking your pram into the hold, a travel bag is strongly recommended. Airlines do not cover damage to prams checked without a protective bag. The Stokke YOYO³ includes a shoulder carry strap and can be carried on, eliminating this risk.
It depends on your lifestyle. The Stokke YOYO³ (6.1 kg) is excellent for city living and public transport, but it's not designed for gravel paths or rough terrain. If you live in a walkable urban area, a travel pram can work as your daily pram.
