52 × 47 × 30 cm
The Stokke YOYO³ (52 × 44 × 18 cm folded) fits in virtually any car boot, including compact hatchbacks like the Mazda 2 and Toyota Yaris. The Nuna Mixx Next (82 × 60 × 44 cm) and Bugaboo Fox 5 (89 × 53 × 35 cm) fit comfortably in the Mazda CX-5 boot (approx. 100 × 80 cm floor) and Toyota RAV4 with room for shopping. The UPPAbaby Vista V3 (93 × 60 × 42 cm) and Cybex Gazelle S (95 × 60 × 42 cm) need a mid-size SUV or larger — they fit in the Mazda CX-5 and Toyota RAV4 but leave minimal room for other items. For small car owners (Mazda 3, Hyundai i30, VW Golf), the YOYO³ or Nuna Mixx Next are the practical choices. Always measure your boot before buying — boot shapes vary even within the same car class.

The Stokke YOYO³ ($599 AUD) is the most compact premium pram in our comparison, folding to just 52 × 44 × 18 cm — small enough to fit in airline overhead lockers. It weighs only 6.1 kg. For a full-size pram, the Bugaboo Fox 5 (89 × 53 × 35 cm) is the most compact option with all-terrain capability.
The Stokke YOYO³ (52 × 44 × 18 cm folded) fits in virtually any car boot, including compact hatchbacks. The Bugaboo Fox 5 (89 × 53 × 35 cm) is the most compact full-size pram. The Cybex Gazelle S (95 × 60 × 42 cm) is the largest — measure your boot before purchasing.
It depends on the pram. The Nuna Mixx Next and Bugaboo Fox 5 both feature self-standing folds for hallway or closet storage. The Stokke YOYO³ is the clear winner for minimal storage — it fits under a bed or on a shelf. The UPPAbaby Vista V3 and Cybex Gazelle S require more floor space.
Not necessarily. The Bugaboo Fox 5 folds compactly while offering all-terrain suspension and a 4-year warranty. The Nuna Mixx Next has a magnetic buckle and all-season seat. The tradeoff is most noticeable at the extreme: the Stokke YOYO³ is smallest but lacks all-terrain capability.
