UPPAbaby Vista V3 vs Stokke YOYO3
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Baby Strollers: 4 Popular Picks Compared comparison.
The Vista V3 is the most versatile stroller here, adapting from a single newborn to three kids with a smoother ride and smarter storage than its predecessor. The YOYO3 is the runner-up for anyone who flies or lives in a city and values a truly compact fold over expandability.
UPPAbaby Vista V3
Buy itA modular everyday flagship that grows from one baby to three without ever feeling like a compromise.
- New FlexRide suspension and a huge 30 lb reflective-trimmed basket make daily use genuinely pleasant
- 30+ configurations for one, two, or three kids via the RumbleSeat V2+ and PiggyBack board
- Heavy and bulky folded - not a stroller you'll want to lug up stairs or into overhead bins
- The bassinet is now a separate add-on rather than included in the box
Stokke YOYO3
Buy itThe travel folder to beat - cabin-legal, feather-light, and noticeably smoother than the YOYO2 it replaces.
- Folds small enough for most airline cabins and weighs under 15 lb with a padded shoulder strap
- Upgraded 4-wheel 'soft drive' suspension and a larger under-seat basket fix the old model's weak points
- Needs a separate newborn pack to be used before 6 months
- Small wheels and single-child design rule out rough terrain and second kids
