Review on πŸƒ CYBEX AVI Jogging Stroller: Lightweight Aluminum Frame, Compact Fold and Adjustable Handlebar for Ultimate Convenience by Ross Decoteau

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Smooth Ride stroller

After two years of using another jogging stroller (Allen) that was beginning to fall apart, we were ready for an upgrade. And this cyber jogging stroller is definitely for you! Overall setup was easy, although I'd recommend watching the video linked in the guide just to make sure you got it right. It took me a bit of leverage/strength to flip the rear wheels/lower the front wheel lever, but it's certainly doable by one person. The packaging was great too and the stroller arrived in perfect condition. The stroller feels solid and I expect it to last many times. For storage, the stroller folds up more than you'd expect, although it won't stand upright on its own (you'll need to lean it against a surface like a wall or table). Also, make sure to lock the wheels before folding to keep them from slipping. In terms of use, the stroller is easy to handle. The hand strap is conveniently located along with the handbrake, and it is very easy to put on and remove the brake with your foot. When running, I like the narrow, curved handlebars. You can find this "golden mean” by hand. However, when walking, the grip is so narrow that it is impractical to use both hands at the same time. The maximum distance between my hands is 2-3 inches instead of a comfortable 6-10 inches. The wheels are also widely spaced, presumably for stability reasons. This means you take up a lot of sidewalk space (about a meter), leaving little room for the person you need to get around, or if there is a sign or lamppost built into the sidewalk. And the WAAAU front wheel is sticking out of there. Be prepared to bump into someone in a crowded place. This is a smooth-running stroller with large wheels that allow you to easily negotiate bumps and roots. If you let go on a slight incline, he (and baby) will speed up quickly, so don't let him out of reach (maybe use a harness)! The cover opens and closes smoothly, and there is space for additional equipment on the lower shelf. Added note: I don't know what my girlfriend did when she tried to open it, but the stroller trapped her from the inside. on both thighs and she has some ugly bruises!

Pros
  • Comfortable ride: mesh windows provide ventilation and a large sun visor with UPF50+ protects your child from harmful rays. Reflective details increase visibility, while the luggage basket, smartphone compartment and back pocket offer space for essentials
