Babyzen YOYO2 vs Stokke YOYO3
Short answer: Both are tiny-folding travel strollers that take a newborn pack or infant car seat for the first months. The Stokke YOYO3 has a bigger basket (22 lb vs 11 lb) and is current, with Stokke support and parts. A Babyzen YOYO2 in good condition still folds about as small and weighs about the same (14 lb vs 13.7 lb).
