The BABYZEN YOYO™ stroller is pure revolution to any parent who’s battled with airport security and a toddler at the same time. Hold, unfold, and bolt… to your gate.
The BABYZEN™ brand is the brainchild of French designer Jean-Michel Chaudeurge together with his son Julien. Jean-Michel created both a luxurious and stylish three-wheel stroller that was also compact and folded up easily. When the ZEN™ stroller hit the scene in 2010, it was an immediate hit, winning the Innovation Award at the Kind & Jugend fair in Cologne in 2010.
Then the team was joined by Gilles Henry, who had created another very innovative concept that was the perfect candidate to become the ZEN’s little brother: the BABY
ZEN YOYO™.
ZEN YOYO™.
The YOYO™ folds up so small (20x17x7 inches) that it is the first stroller to qualify as a carry-on. At 12 pounds, you can sling it over your shoulder. And you don’t detach anything. The seat and wheels fold in, and then the stroller unfolds single-handedly. This means no more stroller Tetris for the trunk and no more waiting for your stroller at the airport.
BABYZEN™ worked with French engineering firm SCALEA Innovation, who used Creo 1.0 to design and bring the YOYO™ stroller to market. In January 2010, the YOYO™ concept was in its infancy. Stephane Broyer, Director of SCALEA Innovation, recounts part of the design process with PTC products:
“For the BABYZEN YOYO™ project, we made an extensive use of the AAX module, from the initial concept to the detailed design of every technical feature and every part. We liked its flexibility for creating and modifying the components. It was a significant time saver and allowed us to start production less than one year after the initial “go” for the design.”
For SCALEA, Creo was an integral part in creating and testing this high-end stroller. This July, the YOYO™ debuts in Europe. The ZEN™ is already sold in North America.
