CYBEX e-Gazelle S electric pushchair: a guide for families with one or two children

An electric pushchair can make journeys over hills, cobbled streets or with extra luggage easier. The CYBEX e-Gazelle S electric pushchair also offers a flexible seating configuration, so it can be used as a double pushchair, a tandem pushchair from birth or a single pushchair.

However, technical terms and a wide range of accessories don’t automatically make it easy to choose the right model. What matters is the actual weight capacity, whether the configuration suits your children’s ages and how much space it takes up in everyday use.

Common pitfalls when buying an electric pushchair

1. Motor assistance is mistaken for a pushchair that drives itself

An electric pushchair with motor assistance is still a pushchair that you push. The electric assistance can make it easier to push uphill or over uneven ground, but it doesn’t replace supervision or safe use. On the e-Gazelle S, you control the assistance level and speed using a control on the handlebar.

Before buying, parents should check:

  • Is the assistance genuinely useful for the journeys you make?
  • Is the handbrake easy to reach?
  • How is the battery charged and protected from moisture?
  • What gradients does the manufacturer allow?

2. “For two children” doesn’t always mean “for two children from birth”

Depending on the attachments, a tandem pushchair can be set up for a baby and an older child, two seats or a baby car seat. The right combination depends on the children’s ages, weights and developmental stages. According to the product details, the e-Gazelle S can be configured for one or two children, with a maximum weight of 22 kg per child – up to 2 × 22 kg when used as a double.

Newborns need a suitable carry cot or an approved combination. A seat on its own isn’t automatically suitable for every baby from birth.

3. Accessory costs are underestimated

CYBEX Gazelle S accessories may include a carry cot, baby car seat adapters, rain cover, cup holder, seat liner and other items. Check which components are included and which need to be bought separately. The e-Gazelle S Stone Grey comes with items including the frame, seat unit, baskets, removable shopping basket, sun canopy, battery and charger.

Important things to consider before you buy

Weight capacity and storage

When choosing a pushchair for children up to 22 kg, don’t just look at the seat’s weight limit. The shopping basket and accessories also affect how practical it is to use. The e-Gazelle S has a stated total capacity of 23 kg for the integrated basket and removable shopping basket. This shouldn’t automatically be treated as extra seat capacity.

It’s also important to stow heavy items as low down and evenly as possible. Overloading the handles or hanging bags unevenly can affect handling and stability.

Dimensions, weight and folded size

At a stated 14.7 kg for the frame and seat, the e-Gazelle S isn’t among the lightest travel pushchairs. That’s understandable for an electric tandem pushchair with a battery, motor and double configuration, but it should suit your car and living arrangements.

Before ordering, it’s worth measuring:

  • The boot opening and boot depth
  • The width of your lift or front door
  • The space available for storage at home
  • Space for the charger and accessories

The folding mechanism makes storage and transport easier. Even so, compare the folded dimensions with the space available in your car.

Safety and care

A five-point safety harness with a click fastening, securely fastened attachments and using the parking brake when you stop are all essential for everyday use. Keep children away when folding the pushchair or adjusting moving parts.

According to the product details, the e-Gazelle S seat fabric is machine washable at 30°C. Protect the frame, controls, charging port and battery from water. Regularly checking the wheels, brakes, fastenings and charging cable helps you spot wear early.

Frequently asked questions about the CYBEX e-Gazelle S

Is the CYBEX e-Gazelle S suitable for newborns?

According to the product details, it’s designed for use from birth to around four years. However, newborns need a suitable lie-flat position, carry cot or compatible baby car seat. Make sure your chosen combination follows the manufacturer’s guidance.

How long does the electric pushchair battery last?

It’s not possible to give a reliable fixed running time without knowing the assistance level, load, temperature, terrain and charge level. Charge the battery regularly according to the manufacturer’s instructions and keep it dry. Check the battery status before longer outings.

Can the e-Gazelle S be used as a tandem pushchair?

Yes. The product description lists configurations for one or two children, with a capacity of up to 2 × 22 kg when used as a double.

Check that your preferred combination is compatible and confirm what’s included before you buy.
