Cybex - Coya

I did not go with Uppababy because my friend had it and it was huge. I am 5’ 2” and on the go a lot and wanted luxury but not giant. I initially went with the Cybex Priam but it also felt very large lugging in and out of the car by myself. The way it doesn’t technically latch made it awkward to maneuver. We were doing some traveling so I got a Cybex Libelle for the fold but it wasn’t great for under 1 because it didn’t lay flat for nap, so then we tried the Cybex Coya. We took it on to vacation in Hawaii and I LOVED the fold and look, but the seat doesn’t sit fully upright (similar to Bugaboo Butterfly) so my son hated sitting in it. We then bought the Nuna TRVL LX - different than regular TRVL and we love it! It has a one hand fold, decent size basket, nice sturdy bar and lays flat for nap time. I wish I would have purchased this one from the get go for my on the go/trvl stroller since the nuna car seats pop right on it for infants. Given I realized how important size is, if I were to do this all over again… I would have gone with a Nuna Triv OR Cybex Gazelle as my luxury stroller for something with a bassinet and then the TRVL LX for our on the go stroller.

We went from full size (balios s lux), to only travel buggy (coya), to now Mios for daily and coya for travel. Could not recommend cybex Mios more. But Nuna triv next was our second choice. Compact, light but still sturdy and comfy.

I have the Ergobaby metro, and I believe it has the best quality and features of your choices., e.g., full recline (newborn freindly), foot rest, long extended shade, a seat back that keeps your child more upright versus the natural recline on the YOYOetc. However, it's heavy for solo travel. I use it when traveling with my husband, but for solo travel, I'm getting a Coya. It's next best for features compared to the Ergo but is almost 4 pounds lighter.

I have two strollers, the Cybex Gazelle and the Cybex Coya. The Coya is a teeny tiny travel stroller that folds up so small—I keep it in my car and use it for shopping, errands, etc. The Gazelle is the size of an Uppababy Vista, and I use it for taking walks because it has nice suspension and goes over sidewalk bumps, curbs and grass really easily. It’s the stroller I would use for everything if I didn’t drive most places.

I just tried a Cybex today at the store and while it was nice, I had the hardest time getting it to fold. 😭

Yeah my husband and I were both interested in it until we tried to collapse it 😂 The search continues!

Not Maxi Cosi, but I can share some of my thoughts on other strollers that may help. I went to WestCoast Kids to try out some strollers recently, I’m due in a few weeks so my experience is from using friends and families over the past couple of years. I ended up leaving with the bugaboo fox 5 (not the renew) with the bassinet / stroller seat and got a Nuna car seat. I think all together it came out to be 2,000 ish. I found it on sale luckily. I was eyeing a Cybex stroller and a Nuna stroller. The folding of the Cybex was unbearable for me, required two hands and just folding it at the store over stimulated me. Nuna was my second option if bugaboo didn’t work out and they have travel sets. UppaBaby felt too hefty for me, but I used it a while back and not the newer ones. UppaBaby does have a really lightweight car seat that you can attach to the stroller, I believe it’s the Aria. I wanted that one but it’s not compatible with my stroller.

I love my cybex stroller !

Yeah, nah. Cybex strollers really are the shit. I bought a middle of the park discounted one and it grieves me whenever I see someone else with a Cybex stroller not having 10% of my pains to stow it away.
