I also got Cybex everything due to it being a good deal (and free $400 platinum footmuff) - I ended up with the e-Gazelle with Cloud G Lux car seat.
The e-Gazelle was excellent, particularly the rocking feature which helped my baby sleep in restaurants, outdoor events, and at friends’ places. I also liked the fact that the Cloud G car seat extends to almost lay flat so baby was not confined to one position while outside the car. These items are not light however, so may be difficult for some people to lift.
I agree that MSRP is too much, but on sale it was well worth every penny.
This is exactly us right now. We had the Cybex Cloud G Lux previously but in the midst of changing cars so we are temporarily using our Cosco Scenera and baby seems happy in it!

CYBEX priam stroller
CYBEX cloud g lux carseat.
I personally don't think cybex is worth it's MSRP.
Looking at bugaboo butterfly 2 for a travel stroller.
Do you have a mirror? Aside from luck i feel it helps. I use the cybex cloud g which is also super cushy so she loves it since she's usually on a hard bassinet lol
I bought the maxi cosi Romy travel car seat and it was so light. Our cybex infant is way heavier and I wouldn't trust gatechecking. My friend's stroller got damaged when gatechecked. I also got a yoyo for travel during black Friday but I'd pick the joolz dot if i could again
I also managed to snatch a Cybex Cloud G from Amazon at around 630aed (like 50% off) that is compatible with the Yoyo3 with an adapter + works as a car seat for up to 2yo.
Makes sense for us because we will need to travel quite often and the cybex is airline approved + the Yoyo3 is cabin approved as well so we can easily travel with the kid.
If you still have some time before the due date then keep an eye for discounts and don’t stress much about getting everything straight away. Sometimes we miss out on really good deals and now soon you’ll get Black Friday deals etc.
I've got the cybex cloud G if that fits on your pram then I really like itit's super easy to install and baby really likes it. I also don't find it too heavy and the shade comes down right over baby's face which is good for naps
We have a Cybex Cloud T in our car and just got a Cloud G at a very good price on Black Friday. The Cloud T was considerably more expensive and we wanted a seat that was airline approved. A few reasons for buying it:
- Cost of renting in a single trip we’re doing after Christmas is higher than buying ours
- We’re going back to my home country early next year to visit grandparents, but they live in different cities. Taxis there are not exempt and I don’t want to rely on car rental companies as I don’t know the history of those seats or the hygiene standards.
- We’re aware that European seats might not be legal in the US, so that may be the only exception, although I’ve heard of many people that just take theirs.
- I plan to ask the car seat to be gate checked to avoid rough handling. But I like the idea of buying a sturdy bag and packing other things with it. We’ve done this recently with our Dragonfly pram and took so many things with it for free.
LO is almost 5 months old, so will travel on our lap / bassinet.
We checked it in. I was overly protective about the seat and kept it in the original box plus stuffed the voids with diapers and other stuff we needed. Then I placed inside a car seat bag from Amazon which gave me (and handlers) straps / handles to carry it. On arrival, I installed the seat in the rental car and flattened the box for use on the return flight.
I don’t think it fits overhead btw. As far as I’m aware you either gate check it (depending on the airline) or buy a seat for the baby to use it onboard.

Super light, cheap, great for air travel, but outgrown fast.
