Babyzen yoyo2 advice

I’m looking for some advice re using the Babyzen yoyo 2 as an everyday pram rather than just a travel pram. We live in London, in a small flat and don’t have a car. I am really keen on this pram due to it being so lightweight and great reviews from friends and online.
I’m just a bit concerned about the buggy being outward facing from 6 months because I’ve read it’s bad for baby’s development?!
I’d really appreciate anyone’s advice/opinion about using this as an everyday buggy from birth or if there are others that you’d recommend?
Thank you!
(Due first baby..don’t have a clue!)

I have the yo-yo zen... Well it's great as a second travel pram and for going on the tube. Unfortunately the pushchair doesn't recline that much so it's not great for napping. Also I found between 3-7 months it wasn't great as my baby wanted to be semi sitting up but the pushchair bit was too upright and he didn't like facing out and the bassinet was too flat and boring. It is super light and folds down small but the suspension isn't great. Basket is also tiny which is inconvenient. I probably wouldn't have bought it if I'd realised but I do think it will be better when my baby is a bit older. Hope that helps!

I use my YoYo as an everyday stroller and it’s great, it was an absolute life saver when we lived in a flat due to the stroller strap. I don’t follow the previous post as I personally think it reclines a lot. Not quite fully lie flat, hence the newborn pack, but it really is most of the way there. You adjust it manually with a strap so you can have any degree of fully upright to lying down. Both of mine manage long naps in it. Forward facing in the pram is not going to cause developmental problems, where on earth did you read that. Most babies in my part of SW London are transported around in them, almost everyone I know has one. No babies have been harmed by looking at the sights of Clapham Common! I personally don’t think it’s necessary but if you’ve thought about it and would prefer parent facing then I’d look at the Bugaboo Bee- that tends to the pram I see the most frequently after the YoYo!
