Still deciding on which brand is the best for you and your baby? Before Aliana was born we went crazy trying to find the best gear for our first child. After spending a couple hours at the store we decided to go with the Cybex brand. There were tons of brands and models to choose from. Before shopping for our gear we had a decent budget. Our budget got thrown out the door when we saw the price tags on a few strollers and car seats cost nowadays. Luckily the store representative was informative and told us all the pros and cons of different brands. We mentioned to him that we plan on having multiple kids so he explained what will work best for us in the future. For us, we decided to pay more for a higher end travel system for our child. The resale value of this brand is almost equivalent to the Bugaboo brand. Below are the pros and cons of each Cybex product we have.
CYBEX 2 IN 1 SEAT
PROS
-Multiple recline positions. Easy recline with one hand. The best position is laying the seat flat when your baby is asleep or drinking the bottle.
-Perfect height to use as a high chair when out.
-Large sun canopy with UV protection. Adjustable to different positions. There is a see-through ventilation window.
-Included: Bumper Bar, Car Seat Adapters and Rain Cover
-Reversible seat unit. Position the seat to face forward or backward.
CONS
-Does not fold while attached to the frame. There are two kinds of seats to choose from. We decided to go with the 2 in 1. You have to remove the 2 IN 1 seat before folding the frame unless you get the LUX seat. The 2 in 1 is still light weight and fits in my trunk with the Priam stroller.
CYBEX PRIAM STROLLER
PROS
-Simple and easy to assemble. The parts are easy to assemble and takes roughly 5 minutes to click everything together.
-Comfortable for your baby.
-Huge shopping basket. I use the basket when I ran errands or did light grocery shopping. The storage basket was so sturdy and goes in deep. We love the storage this stroller can fit underneath.
-Easy to fold and unfold. This can be done with one hand. I can lift the frame with one hand to place in my trunk. This stroller frame is light weight.
CONS
-Works only with Cybex infant car seats. Limited to using with other brands. This stroller frame has adapters that works with the infant car seats and the lux or 2 in 1 seats.
CYBEX CLOUD Q INFANT CAR SEAT
PROS
-Crash test results are better than other brands
-Great quality
-Comfortable for child
-Full recline position
-11 adjustable height positions. This can adjust with one hand and while the baby is in the carseat.
-LSP safety feature. Side impact handles that will absorb some of the force during a side impact collision.
-Easy install without the base.
-Price. This cost more than the average carseat. Still the resale value is higher than other brands.
-Weighs slightly more than other brands. The features of the carseat makes up for the weight.
-Limited to the cyber and bugaboo stroller frame.
