Balios S Lux

We were about to buy Cybex Priam, but decided for Cybex Balios S Lux after seeing this review: https://youtu.be/PXjTYwEyCrA. We are very happy with it! Also I’ve just bought silvercross Nia as we’re going on an extended trip abroad.

Wir haben einen Cybex balios s gebraucht gekauft. Sind sehr zufrieden.

I chose my stroller based on my lifestyle. Price was not a factor. I live in the suburbs but take walks regularly to the neighborhood park, and go downtown frequently for restaurants, cafes or just to walk around. I also go to many festivals , that often happen in parks. I also took winter into consideration - my neighbourhood sidewalk is not always plowed well, plus a lot of salt, and they are also not very even. With all of that in mind, I wanted a stroller with good wheels and suspension. That eliminated most lightweight and travel strollers from the options.  I watched many videos from the stroller workshop channel and I thought I wanted the uppababy cruz, but still kept other options in mind (city jogger, nuna mixx, cybex balios s lux, nuna spring) . Then I went to West Coast kids to test them out. I hated both nunas right away. They felt flimsy. They fold easily and are compact, but something about them felt off to me.  Then I tested the uppababy cruz. It felt like an awesome stroller. However, I didn't like the breaks and the fold. It's very bulky, and I have a small car and small home. It felt super awkward to fold and store. That's why I chose the Cybex - it is extremely similar to the uppababy cruz however the fold is much easier and it seems a bit more compact. It felt right for me. I highly recommend making a list of what's important for you (realistically) , note down the models you are interested in and 10000% go to a store and test them in person. If I had bought it online I would not be happy with my choice !

FTM , haven't used the stroller yet but I highly recommend you test in store if you haven't yet. I was convinced I'd choose between Uppababy Cruz and Nuna Mixx, and I'm glad I could test both: \- I hated the Nuna right from the start \- I liked the Uppababy Cruz however I was very uncomfortable with the fold. I did not like it at all. It felt too complicated and too bulky , I'm short, clumsy and have limited space in my car and my home. That said I ended up with the Cybex Balios S Lux. It is very similar to the Uppababy, however the fold is much easier and it felt more compact. It rides smoothly as well. I did not test the Gazelle , but I am happy with the quality of Cybex strollers in general. I'm looking into buying one of their car seats

It so depends on your lifestyle! We walk everywhere, so neither of our strollers are compatible with our carseat. Plus, at 5 months old you can start to put baby directly in the stroller. We have the Cybex Balios S Lux (the one-child version of the gazelle) which is great, but huge. It was awesome in the newborn days with the bassinet attachment. We call it the Cadillac. Big, comfy, cumbersome. Once we started daycare and had to carry the stroller into the stroller room at daycare each morning, we bought a Bugaboo Butterfly. And wow. The Bugaboo is SO NICE. We use it 99% of the time. It's so easy to fold/unfold, <15lbs, and has a shoulder strap. I wish we had just bought it from the very start and gotten the bassinet attachment.

I have a June baby. It was simply too hot to baby wear! The bassinet attachment was wonderful. I walked at least 2 of his naps a day my entire leave! One thing I didn’t appreciate until baby was here - I could remove the bassinet attachment from the stroller to carry our sleeping baby inside. We also used the bassinet attachment in our living room as a sleeping/safe space. If doing this I recommend validating that your bassinet is “sleep safe”. We had the Cybex Balios Lux S - the single seater version of the Gazelle. It was great for the newborn period! Full sized strollers take up so much space and we switched to a Bugaboo Butterfly at 5 months.

Mi smo za prvo dijete imali cybex balios i bili smo jako zadovoljni, jaje smo uzeli isto cybex i nismo nikakvih zamjerki imali osim sto je nas sin jaje prerasao sa nekih 10 mjeseci pa smo uzeli autosjedalicu vec tada. Sada čekamo drugo dijete i opet ćemo uzeti cybex jer isto na moru imamo makadam i dosta loše puteve,a njihovi kotači su nam se pokazali kao odlični. Što se tiče sklopivosti samih kolica lako se sklapaju, po meni najviše mjesta zauzima košara u kojoj se dijete vozi prvih par mjeseci… Za ovaj dio u autu nisam kompatibilna jer imamo velik prostor u gepeku pa Vam to nebih znala reći. Svakako ćete se preporoditi kada dijete pređe u kišobran kolica jer su neizmjerno lakša za rukovanje.
