Yoya baby carriages are quite popular in our country. What is the reason for this, what models are there and how to make the right choice, let's figure it out.
About the brand
Yoya strollers have been produced in China since 2012. Initially, they were supplied only to the domestic market, and they could be ordered to Russia only through Internet sites. Now these products are on sale in our country.
Yoya vehicles for babies are almost a complete analogue of the famous baby strollers of the French brand Babyzen Yoyo, which is several times cheaper than the prototype.
Kinds
Only strollers are produced under the Yoya trademark. They are products intended for children from six months to three years old. A distinctive feature of this vehicle is its small size.
Strollers from this manufacturer have a book-type folding mechanism. That is, the width of the product remains unchanged, only the length and thickness of the structure change. The chassis of Yoya strollers is made of aluminum alloy. The use of this material allowed to reduce the weight of the product as much as possible, it is less than 6 kg.
All vehicles for babies from this manufacturer have four points of support, which makes the structure as stable as possible. The wheels have a rubberized coating. They do not require pumping, at the same time they do not make noise when driving on asphalt.
The wheels of the Yoya stroller are single. In almost all models, they do not have latches, but automatically adjust to the type of road, sometimes rotating 360 degrees, and sometimes fixed straight. Wheel cushioning works great. The stroller "swallows" all the irregularities of the road, they are practically not transmitted to the child.
The backrest has the ability to unfold to an almost level base, the child can sleep in it on the street. All textiles from the product can be easily removed and washed. Optionally, you can purchase separately replaceable covers and change the color of this vehicle for your child according to the mood.
Yoya strollers are equipped with five-point seat belts. Since the child is quite active after six months, it can be fixed with the help of them, without fear that the baby will fall out while moving. When you buy a Yoya stroller, you can choose the frame color. We sell products with white and black metal structures. But the biggest feature of the Yoya strollers is that they can be carried on board the aircraft as carry-on luggage.
