Cybex stroller comparison

This Cybex stroller is the latest addition to my collection and I wanted to compare all strollers for parents trying to make the right choice for their family. For context, we have Cybex Gazelle, Epriam, Beezy, and Melio Carbon. Each has their pros and cons, but overall, Cybex makes AMAZING strollers with superior materials. No matter which Cybex you choose, you really can't go wrong. (on the photo from left to right Gazelle, Epriam, Bizi, Melio Carbon) Advantages of Melio Carbon: - so light! Compared to the other three, this is where Melio really stands out. It's super light. The Beezy is a compact stroller, but the Melio beats it in terms of weight. The carbon fiber appearance is very cool. From the looks of it this is my husbands favorite stroller - great for hot days as the lining comes out and has a mesh base, none of the other strollers have this feature. - pushes and steers like a dream. The cons of the Melio - the frame is so light that there are some concerns about long-term wear and tear. I would be nervous too if I watched it on the plane. I would probably only fly it if I knew it would fit on top. When you close it there is no locking system to keep it closed and very flat. In my opinion, the Beezy ends flatter. This would also make air travel a little more difficult. The lower basket cannot hold that much due to the light material and size. The materials aren't as luxurious as some other strollers, probably due to the weight savings. this would be a great choice for a stroller - hot climates - families with very small vehicles who don't have much room for a stroller - living situations where strollers need to be climbed up stairs - wanting an extra stroller if you already have a stroller in full size. If I could only buy one of the four strollers I own, it would be the Gazelle. In my opinion, Gazelle is the best overall for a long life with a growing family. It's beautifully made, it's very durable, and there are many configurations available. One downside to Cybex: The only thing that really annoys me about Cybex is that they don't use the same types of attachments in strollers. I have a carry case for a Gazelle and they also offer a carry case for the Melio and Epriam but the only difference is the connectors so they are not interchangeable. It's a small thing, but I find it very annoying. I need to be able to move the carrycot and booster seat adapters from one frame to another.

Pros
  • I'm looking forward to
Cons
  • The list is getting long.
