What are the differences between the Babyzen Yoyo newborn pack and bassinet?

Not only is it among the most compact and lightweight strollers on the market - the Babyzen YOYO2 stroller is extremely versatile with the ability to convert to a double, offers a rainbow of colors to customize, and wide range of accessories including multiple ways to use it with your baby from day one.

Two of the most similar-looking accessories for the YOYO are the Bassinet and the 0+ Newborn Pack, both designed to support your baby on the YOYO2 stroller from birth up to 6 months old. A third way to use the YOYO2 with a newborn is with the addition of a compatible infant car seat and purchase of adapters, available here.

While they serve a similar purpose and will last the same length of time, the Bassinet and Newborn Pack are quite different in how they attach to the stroller as well as their benefits.

So should you get the Babyzen Bassinet or the 0+ Newborn Pack for your YOYO? Let's see what sets these accessories apart!

About the Babyzen YOYO 0+ Newborn Pack

Babyzen's first newborn option with the YOYO+ that is available now for the YOYO2 as well, the 0+ Newborn Pack is the lighter weight, compact option to stroll with a newborn. It offers a lay-flat, cushioned mattress with added head support and a 5-point harness. Plus, an adjustable canopy and removable, fleece-lined apron provide warmth and protection from the elements.

Priced at $179.99, the 0+ Newborn Pack comes in all nine of the current Babyzen YOYO colors.

Designed to fold while attached to the YOYO frame, the 0+ Newborn Pack attaches directly onto the stroller frame with a series of wires, snaps, velcro, and tabs that keep it in place while you stroll. Because assembly is more involved - and because the 0+ pack has no structure until it's installed onto the YOYO frame - the 0+ Newborn Pack can only be used for baby while it is installed on the stroller.

About the Babyzen YOYO Bassinet

First launched in 2020, the Babyzen Bassinet is available simultaneously with the 0+ Newborn Pack, and provides a structured bassinet option for parents wanting to be able to quickly attach and detach the bassinet from the frame or carry the bassinet separate from the stroller.

Compatible with the YOYO2, YOYO+ and YOYO Connect (with purchase of Connect Bassinet Adapters), the Babyzen Bassinet features carry handles, included adapters, a hard shell, sun canopy, and zippered apron.

The Babyzen YOYO Bassinet is priced at $249.99 and comes in all nine current YOYO fabric colors.
