Research-Based Recommendation
How Small Is the Model Y Frunk, Really?
Tesla doesn’t publish exact box dimensions for the frunk, only total cargo volume figures for the whole car. Owners who’ve taken a tape measure to it put the usable space at roughly 27 to 36 inches at its longest points, 14 to 17 inches wide, and about 14 inches deep, and it tapers toward the front rather than forming a clean rectangle. That shape is exactly why some strollers that look small enough on paper still won’t slide in cleanly.
Which Strollers Actually Fit in the Frunk?
The strollers that work are the same ones designed to meet airline carry-on limits. If a stroller folds small enough for an overhead bin, it is usually small enough for a Model Y frunk. Tesla owners on forums like Tesla Motors Club have confirmed specific models fitting in both the Model Y and the smaller Model 3 frunk, which is a useful benchmark since anything that fits the tighter Model 3 space fits the Model Y with room to spare.
BABYZEN YOYO2
Folded size: about 20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1 inches. The original YOYO was one of the first strollers Tesla owners confirmed fitting in a Model 3 frunk, and the YOYO2 folds to nearly the same flat, compact footprint. It’s a genuinely nice everyday stroller too, not just a travel-only option, which is why it shows up so often in these threads.

gb Pockit+ All-Terrain
Folded size: roughly 16.5 x 13.4 x 7.9 inches. This is the one people call “the world’s smallest stroller,” and it’s the model most frequently confirmed fitting in a frunk in owner threads, sometimes with room for a second one alongside it. The tradeoff is a smaller seat and canopy than a full-size stroller, so it suits toddlers better than infants.

Nuna TRVL Lx
Folded size: 27 x 21 x 14.25 inches (Nuna’s spec). Honest note: that’s bigger than the frunk comfortably takes, and we haven’t found an owner who’s fit one there, so treat the TRVL Lx as a trunk stroller. It earns its place here for families who want more recline and a sturdier ride than the ultra-compact frunk options and don’t mind giving up some trunk space.

What Won’t Fit
Not every stroller will go in. Standard everyday strollers, jogging strollers, and most “compact” strollers that aren’t specifically built as travel strollers are too big. A folded footprint over about 22 inches in any dimension is asking for trouble given the frunk’s taper. One Model Y owner did get a Thule Spring into their frunk, but only after popping the rear wheels off first, which is a good reminder that a stroller doesn’t have to be a dedicated travel model to work, it just has to fold down small, and sometimes that means removing a part first.
Does This Work for the Tesla Model Y L Too?
Yes. Tesla’s own specs list the Model Y L’s front trunk at 4.1 cubic feet (about 116 liters), which matches the standard Model Y frunk almost exactly. The Model Y L is a stretched version of the same platform, adding length behind the second row for a third-row seat, not at the front, so the frunk keeps the same tapered shape and dimensions. If you’re cross-shopping the two, see our Model Y L family buying guide for how the rest of the cargo space compares. The same ultra-compact travel strollers that work in the Model Y frunk will fit the Model Y L’s frunk too.
Tips Before You Buy
Measure your specific stroller’s folded dimensions against your frunk before assuming it’ll fit, since Tesla has changed the frunk’s shape across Model Y refreshes. Fold the stroller yourself in the store or check a return policy before ordering, since the tapered shape means a stroller that measures fine on a tape measure can still bind on the way in. And if the frunk doesn’t work out, remember the Model Y’s rear trunk is dramatically roomier and will swallow almost any stroller folded or not, frunk space is a bonus, not your only option.
The Bottom Line
A stroller in the Model Y frunk works if you pick an ultra-compact travel stroller like the YOYO2 or the gb Pockit+. Anything bigger than that is a gamble against an oddly shaped, smaller-than-it-looks space.
