The travel stroller that parents carry through departure gates the world over just had its biggest update in years. Stokke launched the Stokke YOYO5 on 1 September 2026 — the newest generation of the famous one-hand fold. Below is exactly what’s new on the YOYO5, the full specs, and an honest YOYO5 vs YOYO3 comparison to help you decide whether to buy now or wait.
What’s new on the Stokke YOYO5
In one line: the YOYO5 keeps the compact, airport-friendly footprint the YOYO is loved for, and adds a genuinely one-handed fold, a comfier seat for older babies, and a smoother ride. Here are the headline changes.
The one-hand, one-motion fold
The YOYO has always folded small — but the Stokke YOYO5 is built to fold one-handed, in a single motion, with a redesigned frame and a handlebar that folds down on its own. That folding handlebar lets the stroller pull right up flush to a café table like a chair, or slot into a tight lift, hallway or train aisle. If you’ve ever wrestled a folded buggy with a baby on one hip, this is the upgrade you’ll feel every day.
A smoother, comfier ride
Stokke reworked the seat and suspension for older babies and toddlers who spend real hours in the stroller:
- Deeper 149° recline for proper on-the-go naps.
- Integrated five-position leg rest that grows with your child.
- Wider, more padded seat with a refined head cushion.
- Enhanced independent four-wheel suspension with Hytrel® dampers — noticeably better over cobblestones, gravel and uneven pavements.
Newborn-ready from day one
Previously the newborn nest changed the fold. On the YOYO5, the Newborn Pack folds together with the frame, so you keep the compact one-piece fold from birth — no unclipping at the taxi door. There’s added ventilation at the foot end and in the canopy (very welcome in Singapore’s heat), plus a structured cocoon-style bassinet option for lie-flat strolls.
Is the Stokke YOYO5 cabin-approved?
Folded, the YOYO5 measures roughly 52 × 45 × 22 cm and weighs about 7 kg, and Stokke positions it as cabin-baggage compatible — the same carry-on-the-plane convenience the YOYO is famous for. It is a touch larger and heavier than the YOYO3 (6.2 kg, 52 × 44 × 18 cm), the trade-off for the sturdier ride and comfier seat. Cabin allowances vary, so always check your specific airline’s size and weight limits before you fly.

Stokke YOYO5 price & Singapore availability
Globally, the Stokke YOYO5 launches at around £429 for the seat pack and base frame, with the Newborn Pack at about £529. Singapore pricing and stock are still to be confirmed — Little Baby carries the full YOYO range, and we’ll announce YOYO5 availability and local pricing the moment it lands. In the meantime, the Stokke YOYO3 remains an excellent, in-stock travel stroller.
Colours
The Stokke YOYO5 launches in five colour packs: Black, Taupe, Forest, Peach and Berry. The frame stays the same, and the colour pack is what you dress it in — and can swap later.
Should you buy the YOYO3 now, or wait for the YOYO5?
If you’re flying soon and want a proven, in-stock travel stroller at a keener price, the YOYO3 is a brilliant buy and we can ship it today. If the one-hand fold, deeper recline and smoother suspension are worth the wait, the YOYO5 is the one to hold out for.
