A tandem pushchair needs to do more in everyday life than simply carry two seats. Narrow doorways, public transport, kerbs, limited boot space and shopping all place practical demands on the model. The CYBEX Gazelle S tandem pushchair Moon Black is designed for families looking for a modular pushchair for one child, siblings or twins.
Before buying, it is worth taking a close look at the actual specifications. Terms such as “XXL basket”, “compact when folded” or “more than 20 combinations” sound convincing, but on their own they do not tell you whether a pushchair is suitable for your home and everyday circumstances.
A pushchair with 20 combinations can be used in different ways depending on its specification. What matters is which components are included and which must be purchased separately. The Gazelle S includes, among other things, a frame with wheels, a seat unit, a removable shopping basket, a sun canopy, a bumper bar and a waist bag. A second seat unit, infant carrier or carrycot may incur additional costs.
Before buying, check the following:
The term pushchair from birth often refers to a flat reclining position or the option to use a carrycot or infant carrier. A seat unit alone does not automatically replace every newborn solution. According to the product information, the CYBEX Gazelle S seat unit is designed for use from birth to approximately four years and supports up to 22 kg. For your intended use, parents should also follow the manufacturer’s guidance on the lie-flat position and suitable equipment.
A folding tandem pushchair may take considerably less space when folded than expected – or may still not fit in every car boot. The stated folded dimensions of the Gazelle S are 73.5 × 56.5 × 32 cm, while its weight is 12.9 kg. Compare these dimensions with your car boot and the storage space available at home.
A CYBEX pushchair with an XXL basket should not be loaded indiscriminately either. With the Gazelle S, the stated 23 kg of storage capacity is split between a removable shopping basket holding up to 10 kg and an underbasket holding up to 13 kg. The weight limits should be observed; heavy bags hanging from the handlebar can affect stability.
For families with children of different ages, both single and double use are relevant. According to the product information, the Gazelle S is designed to support up to 22 kg in single mode. In double mode, a capacity of 2 × 22 kg is stated. This does not mean that the children, accessories and luggage can have any combined weight. The manufacturer’s specifications for the complete pushchair system remain decisive.
A tandem pushchair for two children should also be used with the seats correctly locked into place. Check the attachment points before every journey and use the restraint system for each child.
The seat unit is reversible and can face forwards or towards the parent. This can be practical in everyday use when a younger child needs frequent eye contact while an older child wants to look at their surroundings. The one-pull harness system is intended to make fastening easier, but it does not replace checking that the harness is correctly adjusted and fastened.
According to the product description, the seat unit’s fabric covers are machine washable at 30 °C. For families who go out frequently, this care information is an important, objectively verifiable point. The frame and harness require separate cleaning in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
The Gazelle S measures 106 × 65 × 110 cm when unfolded. The 65 cm width should be compared with your front door, lift and the narrowest paths on your usual routes. An adjustable handlebar can make the pushchair easier to use for people of different heights.
If you regularly travel over cobblestones, uneven pavements or longer distances, pay attention to the wheels, suspension and how easy the pushchair is to operate when loaded in real-life conditions. The presence of suspension does not automatically make a pushchair equally suitable for every surface.

According to the product information, the Gazelle S can be used with two seat units, infant carriers or other compatible components. For twins, it is essential that both modules used are suitable for the children’s ages and weights. Additional seats or adapters may be required.
In single mode, a maximum child weight of 22 kg is stated. In double mode, the product description states a capacity of up to 2 × 22 kg. Total storage capacity is given as 23 kg: up to 10 kg in the removable shopping basket and up to 13 kg in the underbasket.
The folded dimensions are 73.5 × 56.5 × 32 cm. Whether the pushchair fits in your car boot depends on the opening, the available depth and any other luggage. Measure your boot before ordering and also take the weight of 12.9 kg into account.
