A CYBEX pushchair needs to do more than look good in everyday life. For families, important considerations include whether it can be used from birth, whether it folds to a suitable size for your home and car, how much shopping it can hold and how easily it can be adapted as your family grows. Product photos and general marketing claims can also leave out important details.
A seat unit isn’t automatically suitable for a newborn. Check whether the pushchair comes with a carrycot, a lie-flat position or a suitable newborn insert. For a 2-in-1 pushchair, it should also be clear how it converts between carrycot and seat modes.
A compact pushchair may fold down to save space, but you should still consider its weight, folded dimensions and whether it will fit in your car boot. A small folded size may be offset by a heavy frame or large wheels. Measure your car boot and the space available at home before you buy.
With a sibling or twin pushchair, not all the components you need will necessarily be included. You may need to buy a car seat adapter, extra seat units, a second carrycot or a ride-on board separately. That’s why it’s important to check the compatibility list and exactly what’s included.
If you’re looking for a pushchair from birth, check that it has a suitable lie-flat surface and a secure attachment. According to CYBEX product information, the CYBEX Eos Lux has a 2-in-1 unit with both carrycot and seat functions. The seat can later be fitted to face either towards or away from you.
The CYBEX Gazelle S is described as suitable from birth to around four years. A compatible adapter is needed to use it with a car seat. A car seat isn’t automatically included with every pushchair set.
For pavements, cobbled streets and park paths, puncture-proof wheels and front-wheel suspension are practical features. However, an all-terrain pushchair isn’t the same as a jogging buggy designed for unpaved or particularly challenging routes. Check that the manufacturer approves the wheels for the terrain you have in mind.
According to product information, the Eos Lux has puncture-proof wheels and front-wheel suspension. The Gazelle S is listed as having front suspension and suspension on the rear wheel axles.
A pushchair with plenty of storage is handy for everyday shopping. But it’s not just the capacity in litres that matters: check the maximum load, too. The Gazelle S has two storage areas, each with a stated capacity of up to 23 kg. It also comes with a removable shopping basket with a stated capacity of up to 10 kg. These limits should not be exceeded.
A pushchair with UV protection should have a specific rating, such as UPF 50+. This indicates the fabric’s level of UV protection, but it doesn’t replace taking care in direct sunlight. The Gazelle S and Eos Lux are both listed as having an extendable canopy with UPF 50+ and a ventilated mesh section.
Why it suits this family: Its 2-in-1 design combines carrycot and seat functions, so you don’t need a separate carrycot attachment for everyday use.
The age guidance, lie-flat position and conversion to a seat are clearly described. However, a compatible adapter is needed to attach a car seat.
Listed as suitable from birth to around four years, with puncture-proof wheels, an adjustable handlebar and a canopy with UPF 50+.
Why it suits this family: Its modular design is ideal for families who want to start with a pushchair for one child and later use it for siblings or twins.
The option to expand the pushchair into more than 20 configurations is clearly set out. Check the extra seats, carrycots and adapters you need individually before buying.
Two large storage areas, a folding function, a one-handed harness system and, according to product information, a load capacity of up to 2 × 22 kg when used for two children.
Why it suits this family: For regular shopping trips, longer family outings and changing day-to-day needs, the system offers several storage and seating configurations.
The storage capacities and possible configurations are listed. This means you won’t have to judge the size of the storage areas from product photos alone.
Plenty of storage, an adjustable handlebar, an XXL canopy with UPF 50+ and configurations for one or two children.
We’ve put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and fully comply with the safety regulations in force in the EU.
That depends on the model and attachment. According to product information, the Eos Lux is a 2-in-1 pushchair suitable from birth. For the Gazelle S, use from birth requires the appropriate carrycot or suitable newborn accessories.
Yes, compatible models can be used as a travel system with a car seat. You’ll usually need a suitable adapter. Check the compatibility list for your specific CYBEX model before buying, as not every car seat will fit every frame.
The models described here are listed as suitable for use until around four years of age or up to a child’s weight of 22 kg. Always follow the guidance for the specific model, check the condition of the pushchair and use it safely according to the instructions.
