Cybex - CYBEX Beezy Travel Stroller

I’ve used my Joolz Aer for the last 4 years and absolutely love it. We recently got the Cybex Beezy for our second baby and my husband likes it slightly more for bumpier terrain.

If you're haul fit up and down 4 floors regularly, absolutely get something compact that it easy to fold/unfold and lightweight for carrying. Probably a bonus if it comer with a carry strap you can put over your shoulder, or you can add one yourself. I really like my cybex Beezy. I originally bought it for travel, but it just became my everyday stroller and it handles rough terrain well for being so small and compact and I think it works well on cobble for a compact stroller, but it isn't as smooth as something with a more robust spring system. 

If you are folding it up often, I would steer away from strollers with attached bassinets because those will generally be much more cumbersome and difficult to haul around while also carrying your baby! My goto stroller for easy portability while still being able to shop is the Cybex Beezy, because I can easily fold or unfold it with one hand with some stuff still in the bottom basket. We used it extensively for farmer's market shopping, travel, and the park. It doesn't fold completely flat, though! Almost, but not quite.

Of the options you listed, the Cruz V3 will easily be the best for going over rough ground, but the same elements that make it so great in that respect also make it the largest and heaviest (26 lbs, I think) - you likely won't be able to gate check it. Unfortunately, the lightest/most compact strollers tend to have little/no suspension and smaller wheels as a consequence, so you may have to decide which feature you think is more important. Aer2 and Minu v3 apparently have good suspension and relatively large wheels for their class (i.e., ultracompacts), but will still have the most trouble going over rough ground. Hub2 is somewhere in the middle, although the suspension is a little firm and I don't love the fold (I think you have to reverse the seat first, and the seat removal wasn't super intuitive to me.) An important question here is whether you want baby to be able to face you while you push. If so, that automatically eliminates Aer2 and Minu (and almost every other compact stroller). Some other lighter reversible-seat strollers that still have decently sized wheels are the Nuna Triv Next, Bugaboo Dragonfly, and Peg Perego Veloce. Cybex has the Mios, but the wheels are much smaller (so it will have a tougher time around rough terrain). The Dragonfly is very tall when folded though (even taller than the Cruz), so it may not work that well if your trunk space is limited. If you don't care about a reversible seat, the Nuna TRVL/TRVL LX, Cybex Beezy (latest model), Uppababy Minu v2, Peg Perego Selfie Plus, and Guzzie and Guss Oxygen v2 are all lighter than 20 lbs, have a one-hand fold, and have larger wheels and more substantial suspension than the Aer2/Minu v3 (or any other ultracompacts, for that matter).

I loved using our Cybex at that age! Its super light and can fit in the overhead bin [https://mavely.app.link/e/OAMDLkztVWb](https://mavely.app.link/e/OAMDLkztVWb)

I love my [Cybex](https://joylink.io/cybex-magic-black-strollerstroller) for traveling & putting in overhead bin!

Of these two I’d 100% pick the cybex

I went to Nordstrom and tried them all. I got nuna mixx next and nuna pippa car seat with the stabilizer leg it was so easy to fold the stroller and lift it into the car. Car seat you don’t have to have the base you can strap the seatbelt through the back loop. It’s idiot proof but doesn’t go on sale. Great engineering and shocks same with cybex. Uppa baby 2 was flimsy

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!

Second this! We also went Cybex after trying them all out. Preferred the fold and the fact the stroller had a handle to grab the stroller by once folded. Hated the Uppababy strollers once folded. There was no good place to grab once folded. Cybex value for the price was ultimately the deciding factor for us.

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.

Check them out in person if you can! Nuna and Uppababy were our top contenders but after trying them out we ended up going with a Cybex. The car seat you’re using also makes a difference, we have a Nuna Pipa so wanted a stroller that came with the car seat adapters vs having to buy them separately.
