... I'll curb my bellyaching about the weather for a bit to show you this wonderful contraption... Behold... The YippieYo. This arrived all the way from Germany, just before our holiday, the perfect holiday companion for an active family!
... Their product isn't something I've ever really seen before and I think it's a cool concept for parents with children who are able to walk, yet get tired easily. Ethan is one of those children, he loves being outside and exploring (as we all do as a family) but with his little legs he gets tired really quickly. He usually shuns Logan's spot in the pram when we offer it to him, but I think he'd find this sort of thing quite fun and a bit of a novelty!
The YippieYo Crossbuggy is a pull along trailer for one or two children. It's really an off road version of standard trailers and it can go places where you wouldn't take a pushchair. It feels at home in a field, woodland, beach and mountains. When the Crossbuggy arrived I was a little scared of the size of the box and whether it needed a complicated assembly but I shouldn't have worried. The wheels are very easy to attach as long as the disc brakes are aligned correctly. The seat needs clipping open and the handle securing and you're ready to go.
With its very low center of gravity and its big wheels, the buggy is very easy to maneuvre. It can be easily turned on the spot and after a few minutes I had the hang of it. Even tight turns can be taken and small obstacles can be bypassed effortlessly. With only 12 kg the Crossbuggy is extremely light and even with two children inside it can be pulled along with one hand and without much effort.
It is love, love, love here at BBHQ for the Yippie Yo Crossbuggy. It is unique and unusual. It absolutely fills a big gap in the market for a practical all terrain option for one or two children. Bearing in mind that Master BB has special needs, this also means that we have a ‘non baby’ way to transport him where all his friends are actually envious of his smart wheels! This could be a really great school run option for those who have a long walk to school. It is simple for the children to hop in and out, whilst the harness is difficult to open. There are so many possibilities and the world literally is your oyster with a Yippie Yo. The Yippie Yo will go anywhere you have ever wanted to go with children. We have pleasure in awarding the Yippie Yo Cross Buggy a Best Buggy 5 Gold Star rating for an excellent, practical, great quality product. We are planning on many more years of use from the Yippie Yo because we LOVE it!
For me, quality and sustainability are very important. The Crossbuggy is produced in Switzerland and assembled in a big sheltered workshop in Germany. All materials are made in the EU and the frame can be completelty recycled. The washable and dirt repellent seatcovers are fully compliant with the highest OEKO-tex standards and are free of any harmful substances – you can really drive this buggy with a good conscience. Those with twins are very often addressed by others, and with the YippieYo Crossbuggy, you certainly are an eye-catcher!
With a Crossbuggy neatly stowed in the car trunk we started our trip to the Timmendorfer Beach. After 1.5 hours of driving we arrived at the parking lot, unloading and unfolding the buggy took only a couple of minutes. Just quickly putting the kids in there and the wild ride could begin. Now the Crossbuggy had to show how to get along on sand, water and other uneven surfaces. What shall I say, even on this terrain it could be pulled easily and with minimal effort. […] We can absolutely recommend the YippieYo Crossbuggy, especially for parents with two younger children. We do use it very, very often and we will never ever give it away.
Our youngest son had an operation in May and had to have a cast put on both of his legs. His previous buggy was no longer suitable for transportation and he does not like to sit in a wheelchair. Due to its wideseating surface, the Crossbuggy is perfectly suited for him and our son loves the buggy. […] We are very thrilled by the Crossbuggy and there are a lot of people asking us about it.
With our two children we are often hiking in the Munich Mountains and the Crossbuggy is always with us – the kids love it!
We are very satisfied with the Crossbuggy. We use it a lot; overhill and dale, and its even easy to pull in the snow. The kids feel comfortable in the buggy and sometimes we have even transported three children. Occasionaly the kids take a little nap in there. The leisure bag is great, and there is enough room for food, drinks and substitute clothes.
For me personally the YippieYo Crossbuggy is a great vehicle. I hike a lot with the kids using the backpack child carrier, but this is getting near impossible due to my back. Whenever there is a suitable way, the Crossbuggy is our first choice. I love it and think it is a great thing!
The YippieYo Crossbuggy is ideal for parents who like to take their kids for a hike or a walk out of the urban jungle and want to enlarge their action radius. The buggy can be used on almost any terrain (paved roads, grassland, stones, forrest, etc.) and is easy to pull or push in the plain as well as uphill and downhill.
