[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baby zen yo-yo+ with newborn attachment and attachments for car seat.

Unless you are planning to cab it everywhere and therefore would need a car seat—the babyzen yo-yo is great because it collapses down small and is easy to carry. When the metro elevator is out, or you get on bus and have to collapse your stroller, babyzen is where it is at [/quote]

+1 The babyzen yoyo was great when I was in a tiny apartment.  Get the newborn pack with it.  [/quote]

I agree with the premise of these tweets (get a small, reliable stroller with a trifold that is super easy to collapse and carry) but just want to note that there are many more options in this part of the market than there were a few years ago, and I'd shop around. 4 years ago, the yoyo was your best bet. Now I'd look at:

Bugaboo Butterfly (my favorite)
Ergobaby Metro+
Uppababy Minu (extremely popular in my neighborhood, even more so than the Yoyo)
Joolz AER (I've met several people who love this stroller, I think very comparable to the Yoyo)
Cybex Libelle (dislike the handles but some people might like them)
GB Pockit (Same handle situation)
Mountain Buggy Nano (good option for less $$)
Zoe strollers (also lower price point, I see them around the neighborhood and they look like they handle well)
Baby Jogger City Tour (people love the City Mini, this is their smaller travel version, I know BJ strollers are pretty indestructible)

Just throwing this out there because I often see recommendations for the Yoyo on here and I think it's a great stroller but it's really not the only good option for something small, light, and functional. Also, the main advantage to the Yoyo is being able to buy the infant pack so you can lie flat for that stage, but I found that to be useless to me because I wound up just carrying my baby on me during that time (she vastly preferred it and I discovered that this short time when you can be 100% hands free as a mom was really liberating).[/quote]
