Is the rain cover terrible and if so have you found a better option?

Also, is the babyzen footmuff worth paying for, will it still fold with it in, and if its not worth the money, have you found a better option?

The pushchair hasn't actually arrived yet. Bought it on a whim at the bargainous price of £155 (brand new!) Hoping it won't be a mistake purchase :-/

I got one delivered yesterday, so far I'm impressed with the manoeuvrability and the size it folds to. The rain cover is a bit flimsy and doesn't cover my toddler's feet. No idea about the footmuff though

I don't have one, don't imagine you'll be disappointed at that price. Trying to envisage fold with muff.. I think I would be tempted to look at a bundlebean or stay put liner, the fold is so cool a footmuff will certainly slow it down if not make life actively difficult.

jumparoo I was watching that one on eBay! You'll soon sell it again probably for more than that if you don't like it. I can't answer your question though as I still haven't even played with one despite being very tempted to buy one. The yoyo is becoming a bit of a mythical beast to me! Let us know how you like it Smile

Yes the raincover simply doesn't work! It took me ages to get on, and then my son pulled it straight off again!!

We have a Maxi Cosi Noa raincover which fits beautifully - but any raincover for a smaller pushchair should work well. I would aim for a smaller pushchair like the Noa though. I have a Graco Universal which would be too big.

I gave up on a footmuff and I use a stay put blanket. Its worked great. Wrap your LO up warmer to start with - JoJo Maman Bebe fleece trousers are fab and easy to pull on over anything.

Thanks Tiggy, would a different rain cover need to be specific to a one handled buggy? Not sure if the Noa has one handle or two?

The Noa has two handles but it makes no difference as you need two holes to poke the handle out of - so whether it fastens in the middle (two handled version) or slips over the top (one handled cover), it doesn't matter. TBH look for a Noa one :) At least I know it works.

Used the yoyo for the first time today. It's FAB. Rather basic for the full RRP but a bargain for the price we paid. We are so pleased with it. Fold is fab, it looks sturdy and well made and It is so nice to push for a tiny buggy. No rattling wheels, no squeakiness. Almost as nice to push as our Vista infact. Takes a lot for me to say that! Time to sell the Vista now I think. If anyone wants one let me know!

I always say that the YoYo is basic but part of the beauty is simply that. Its basic but works well. Sometimes its bliss to reach for something simple. I am glad you like it. I love mine loads.

Another yoyo lover here! That's an amazing price!

Haven't used the raincoat so can't comment. I did have the official footmuff and I really wouldn't bother. It's lovely quality, but its so huge and bulky that you simply can't fold it up properly with it on. Mine went on ebay.

For me, the whole beauty of the yoyo is the fold! I'm with Tiggy and use a stay put blanket that just attaches onto the front of the pushchair frame. Also love the jojo fleece suits.
