Babyzen yoyo2 wobbly wheels?

7 replies

Does anyone with a babyzen yoyo2 have an issue with the wheels wobbling all over the place when you walk down the sidewalk? This happens to my wife 3-4 times as she's pushing the toddler to school.

The thing is - I returned it, and got a new one, and the new one does the same thing! (not quite as often though). We talked to our neighbor who has one and she said it does the same thing to her.

Is this just a matter of walking too fast with too small of a stroller? We never experienced this with our other two strollers. It's possible that since the stroller is smoother she's going a bit quicker, but she has video and it doesn't look like she's going that fast.

I'm trying to decide if I should exchange it for another yoyo2 or go with a different brand, (will the bugaboo butterfly be any different?)
Or perhaps we just need to get a bigger stroller. I'd prefer to be as small as possible as I want one that's easy to carry down subway stairs.

Just curious what other people's experiences are?

We have one. I read reviews that said it did this but the positive reviews outweighed the negative so decided to buy it. I've had no problems with the wheels

Not had the issue with the butterfly

Mine are doing the same thing I think when I walk fast is when it happens

There’s a YouTuber called the stroller workshop, and when I was researching prams 3 years ago this was a known issue with the yo-yo. Not sure if the yoyo2 improved on the original design.

The same YouTuber has a comparison video between the yo-yo 2 and the butterfly, I would take a look at that

Ohhh this is my exact current issue and dilemma. Did you end up getting the butterfly or a new yo-yo? I am really not sure. They sent me a new frame for the yoyo but it did the same thing. It’s very irritating when you are walking and it starts wobbling so much you have to stop and readjust the wheels!!! Not sure what to do. The butterfly is definitely a heavier stroller and bigger when folded and can’t go on some airlines.

i have not used the yo-yo but based on this I would say go for the butterfly

It happens to me too, and it drives me nuts
