Hello Ladies
It's my first time to post on the forum, but I've found your site helpful previously and I was hoping some of you would be able to shed some light on which travel stroller would be best - I already have a bugaboo cameleon 3 for my 7 months old son but we are travelling soon for a beachy/resort type holiday and I don't think I want to lug the bugaboo around as I'm sure most of you are aware it's bulky even with its travel bag.

I thought since I may have to buy a new stroller it might as well be one of those cabin friendly strollers - does anyone have experience with both (between babyzen yoyo and the mountain buggy nano) and preferred one over the other ? I know that the yoyo is much pricier but is it worth the difference ?

Also I've looked on Dubizzle and couldn't find anything, but does anyone have a babyzen yoyo in good condition that they would like to sell ?
Please let me know , as I would be very interested. I appreciate any thoughts you have about this that can help me....
Thanks !

I haven't purchased either, but I did a test "drive" a few weeks back at the Baby Bazaar. Personally, while I was initially leaning toward the Nano because of price, I found the Yoyo to be a better fit for my needs/comfort. When the sun canopy of the Nano is folded back, it rests on the handle, constantly rubbing against your hand. The sun canopy also doesn't have a peek-through like the Yoyo, so you have no visual on your child when it is up. A newborn insert/carrycot is also not necessary (though available) for the Yoyo as the stroller back can be put in a flat position, reducing the price comparison if you use it for another baby. These small things may not be an issue for you as you are using it just for travel. My friend did buy a Yoyo for the same reason and has given up her Stokke in favor of the ease of use. I also have friends with the Nano, and they use it as their only stroller for their 13 month old. I think both are well made and worth the investment. There is a quick comparison on the Sassy Mama blog that goes into more details. I imagine the used market for these is small or non existent with all of the travelers in the area, and as both strollers can be used up until 33 lbs/15 kilos. You probably would have no problem reselling one after your travels if you don't love it.:) Thank you so much for replying jwhitney, that's actually really helpful ! Cheers :)
