A baby stroller is a personal transport. For the next few years, she will be his vehicle. And even then, when the child grows up, perhaps the little brother or sister will get the stroller. The responsibility for purchasing the first "car" lies entirely with the parents. They are often wrong. They can be understood and forgiven. After all, when parents come to the store, they come across two identical brands, the names of which differ in one letter, but in general the models are similar - it is not surprising to get confused and make the wrong choice. An example is the two models of strollers Yoya and Yoyo. Outwardly and in terms of functionality, they are almost identical.
Structural and functional similarities between the two models.
- small size (52 x 44 x 18 cm);
- transportability (folds in two movements and weighs about 6 kg);
- wide equipment (basket, hood, seat belts, mattress);
- position adjustment (there is a sleeping position);
- single wheels;
- aluminum alloy frame.
There is an obvious catch in one of the brands, and it lies in the quality of the materials used. It simply cannot be otherwise. The price tags for these strollers indicate the cunning and economy of the manufacturer.
The Yoyo model in Russia is sold for 25-30 thousand rubles, and the same Yoya is sold for about 10 thousand rubles. Having understood what the price of each model is made of, their different quality will become obvious.
The features of the Yoyo model are as follows.
- The country of manufacture of this stroller is France. The release of the model was mastered by the Babyzen company.
- Only high quality textiles are used. At the heart of a durable, fiberglass polyamide.
- Wheels made of natural rubber, which has a high abrasion resistance.
- There is a silicone rain cover. Additionally, the stroller is equipped with a mosquito net, bumper and cup holder.
- There is a thick bedding mattress.
- There is sun protection. It is a sun visor.
- The frame material is fiberglass reinforced. It enhances impact and strength characteristics.
- Used metal connecting hardware made of aluminum alloy.
Another brand needs detailed analysis. It will allow you to compare the two models and find differences. The features of the Yoya stroller are as follows.
- The country offering strollers under this brand is China. The model completely repeats the appearance of the French Babyzen Yoyo strollers.
- Cheap textiles are used. Mainly synthetics and elastic jersey.
- The basis of the wheel tires is made of lightweight foam plastic. In terms of wear resistance, it is several times inferior to rubber.
- The stroller is equipped with a rain cover. The material used is not of the best quality - cheap polyethylene or vinyl.
- Comes with a mattress. In thickness, it loses to the French.
- There is an umbrella for the sun, but there is no visor part.
- Aluminum alloy frame. There are no additional reinforcing coatings.
- Plastic fasteners prevail.
The picture of price formation becomes clear. She is especially visible in a Chinese stroller. Cheap and fragile materials, plastic joints, questionable chassis do not give any guarantees to a potential buyer. In fact, the cost of the Yoya stroller should be several times lower than the price requested by its manufacturers. It is twisted due to the similarity with the French brand.
Despite the obvious loss in quality, Yoya strollers are in great demand. The price component still prevails. Significant differences and the lack of a guarantee for the economical buyer fade into the background. Perhaps it is worth it: small, at first glance, differences - savings for a young family budget. Some parents are attracted by the Chinese equipment. She in Yoya prams is rich and sometimes necessary.
Additional features of Chinese models:
- the ability to roll the stroller when folded;
- front wheels are equipped with blocking;
- all wheels are equipped with shock absorbers;
- the width of the berth is increased to 38 cm;
- there is a sleeper extension (built-in or removable);
- it is possible to unfasten the back of the stroller for ventilation of the child;
- increased basket size;
- there is a window for monitoring the child.
Original strollers from French manufacturers are more modest in this regard. Yoyo models captivate with the quality of performance, but not with "bells and whistles. Additional features of French models:
- the presence of a cup holder;
- the set includes a cover;
- the stroller is adapted for use as a car seat;
- there is a bumper for the child;
- there is a footrest.
Having evaluated the main features of strollers and their additional features, it's time to summarize, which will allow you to see the difference between them.
You will learn more about the similarities and differences between Yoya and Yoyo strollers by watching the following video.
Overall impression of a non-original brand
In Chinese Yoya models, there are more tuning (additions), all sorts of necessary and unnecessary options. In terms of color, Chinese manufacturers play up the original Yoyo brand. Young moms and dads are bribed by drawings, funny ears on the hoods of strollers. With the marketing ploy, the Chinese did everything right.
In fact, as numerous reviews show, a stroller for its little money is quite acceptable and efficient. In addition, it has a quiet and smooth ride, there are no annoying squeaks.
In general, this stroller is able to "roll" one baby. It is hardly enough for the future second child. This is evidenced by the disadvantages of the model. After all, the Chinese design is flimsy, it has many flaws. From the owners of these strollers, there are many complaints about the build quality. In Yoya models, something is constantly unscrewing during operation. Abrasion of wheel tires, bad smell from fabric and plastic elements is noted.
Overall impression of the original brand
French Yoyo strollers are clearly more modest in terms of configuration and color range. From the creation of the stroller, manufacturers wanted to get stylishness and ergonomics. They succeeded. Lightness, compactness, reliability and safety - that's what the Yoyo brand is loved for. Better maneuverability, reliable and comfortable fixation of belts, the use of materials that are not allergic to baby's skin and, of course, high-quality assembly are indicators in which the French brand prevails over the Chinese. In such a stroller, you can raise not one baby, but an entire generation.
French and Chinese models have every right to exist. Parents will have to choose - based on their own preferences and financial capabilities. It is mom and dad who will decide what will be more convenient for their child. And if he feels good, then his parents will also be satisfied with the purchase.
