Cybex - Orfeo

We have the cybex orfeo and it functions well as a travel pram, always managed to get on plane and one click open. The clasp sometimes get a bit stuck for few secs after 2 years of frequent use, id say it lasted v well that long. We still use it weekly and on our travels. If i can have any pram, i would get Joolz or Bugaboo butterfly as they are sturdy and very good and also have good storage space, but quite pricey. Yoyo is small and well known and easy to get a good 2nd hand, however its not one hand open and doesnt sit up right so our baby hated it when we tried in John Lewis.

Cybex and Bugaboo make very nice strollers for rough terrain plus they come with car seat attachment and basinet. With that said we didn’t invest in a travel stroller until 7-8months because it was much easier to just use a carrier when traveling on a plane. I would get a primary stroller and then evaluate what you need beyond the doona. If you plan on traveling a lot and you go on many walks you will need 2 strollers at a minimum. Now at 20 months we are looking at bike/skiing strollers (hamax). For reference we have a bugaboo fox and cybex orfeo as our primary/travel stroller combo. We walk 5-8 miles daily and travel at least 2x per year.

On a fait la même erreur avec ma femme d'acheter un Trio qu'on pensait être j'en super bonne idée, évolutive,etc... il s'avère que la pousette est un putain de tank et prends plein de place dans le coffre. On a tout revendu sur LebonCoin et acheté une Cybex Orfeo en promo pour son côté ultra pliant et qui passe dans les emplacement cabine dans les avions. Zéro regret.

We have the Cybex Orfeo. It folds down small enough to be considered hand luggage. However, we noticed when flying to Fukuoka over year end that while they (Peach) don't count it as a piece of luggage, its weight counts towards our per person total. The total being 7 kilos, with the Orfeo weighing just under. I doubt any person would take nothing but a stroller on a flight, but we had to check it in anyway.

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.
