Summary of "生後3ヶ月からのベビーカー選び！ベビーカー選びの基準/babyzen yoyo2 6+にした理由"

The video covers the creator’s detailed journey and criteria for choosing a stroller starting from when her baby was three months old, culminating in the purchase of the Babyzen Yoyo 2 6 Plus. Key points include:

Stroller Considerations Before Birth

Initially considered only A-type strollers (which recline flat and have a high seat) because babies are newborns.
Two main candidates were Cybex Melio and Pigeon Runfee due to:
- Single tires for easy maneuverability
- One-handed easy folding and unfolding
- Bi-directional facing (baby facing parent or forward)
- Simple design
Decided not to buy a stroller before birth because:
- Baby was born in autumn; Baby carriers keep baby and parent warm.
- Living in a car-based society made stroller use less urgent initially.
- Planned to buy a stroller only if needed.

Why Buy a Stroller at 3 Months?

Needed for longer walks as baby grew heavier (baby was 23 months old in the story, but presumably the speaker means the baby’s weight compared to a typical 3-month-old).
Difficulty carrying baby and luggage in a carrier during longer outings.
Situations like restaurants without baby seats where holding the baby while eating was uncomfortable.
Baby’s neck strength improved early, making a B-type stroller (not fully flat) suitable.
Decided to give up on A-type strollers and focus on B-type models.

Criteria for Choosing a Stroller

Suitability to lifestyle is most important (e.g., no elevator in apartment, car-based society, walks to parks/shopping malls).

Five key criteria:

Single tires — easier to push and maneuver.
Ease of carrying when folded — lightweight and compact with shoulder strap.
Easy one-handed folding and unfolding — important for solo parents.
Stylish, simple design — preference for overseas, minimalist look.
Type B stroller — suitable for babies with neck strength (around 3-4 months old).

Gave up on the requirement for bi-directional facing because no B-type stroller offered this.

Why Babyzen Yoyo 2 6 Plus?

Met all five criteria perfectly.
Single tires made pushing smooth and easy, even with one hand.
Lightweight and compact folding with a shoulder strap for easy carrying.
Easy one-handed fold/unfold tested with a 10 kg weight replica.
Stylish French design with customizable color options (9 colors + 2 frame colors).
Less common than popular Cybex strollers, which was a plus.
Reclining angle from 110° to 140°, usable from about 4 months old when baby’s neck is strong.
Price dropped by 17% in late 2022, making it more affordable (~58,080 yen).
Bi-directional facing can be achieved with additional accessories (0+ color packs or bassinets) for newborns, which can be swapped out later.
