Cybex strollers: features and specifications
With the advent of the child in the family, parents should seriously think about how to provide the baby with absolutely everything necessary. The list is huge, and often parents have to think carefully before abandoning one of the items, or at least just save a little on it. Nevertheless, baby carriages should not be related to what they save, and if the choice in favor of obviously cheaper models cannot be avoided, you should at least try hard not to lose the quality.
Often it will be much more correct to save on something else, but to be one hundred percent sure in the wheelchair. In other words, if there is such an opportunity, it is better to even overpay for the stroller, if guarantees of the highest quality and safety for the baby are offered, as well as a high level of convenience for the parents. In this context, Cybex products seem to be the best solution.
A bit about the manufacturer
It so happened that in our country Cybex strollers are not in the top of sales, which is not least contributed to by the tremendously high, as for our country, the cost of brand products. Many parents among the best world manufacturers of wheelchairs will call any kind of brands, mostly Italian, just not this one. However, if you take a closer look at the company, then suddenly it will turn out that it is one of those.
Initially, it should be said that the Cybex trademark is not at all a separate company, but only a division of a huge transnational corporation that calls itself Goodbaby. It is possible that this name will not say anything to many parents, but it is worth mentioning that all divisions in the corporation work in the production of various children's products, and the association itself, in addition to the franchise of the same name and Cybex, also owns Evenflo brands and the less well-known Role Play, which in general significantly increases the average person’s hearing of the company’s structure.
The achievements of the corporation as a whole are impressive - 15 thousand employees and 46 official sales outlets around the world, 11 factories and 8 (yes, we have not listed all) brands, almost 10 thousand patents for various innovations and hundreds of various international awards for quality. Not all of this refers directly to Cybex, however, this brand has also invested well in the common cause.
If we are talking about the brand in question, then it should be said that initially it started from car seats, and only relatively recently came to grips with wheelchairs, while having managed to find admirers in just a few years.
Today, many stars of the first magnitude make a choice in favor of the wheelchairs of this particular German brand, and the corresponding confirmation with photos can be found on the official website of the company. The latter, by the way, is presented in dozens of localizations, which also speaks of the success of the enterprise.
Advantages and disadvantages
Of course, many manufacturers of wheelchairs position themselves as the best in the world, and parents do not want to guess, because the safety and comfort of the most valuable baby depends on the correct choice. For this reason, it is worth paying attention to the advantages of acquiring strollers of this particular brand.
The company itself identifies three goals as its own priorities, which are generally characteristic of any German product and make it the best in the world.
- Baby's safety in any situation – This is the main principle in the activities of the considered brand.which sets itself the task of surpassing all existing norms with a margin. Very many developments and researches of the company concern the introduction of not only new production technologies, but also new materials, which, while ensuring the highest level of protection, would also guarantee an adequate degree of comfort.
- There will be no good from the stroller, which, being comfortable and well protecting the child, will be of little functionality. Such a versatile tool, perfect for both commonplace daily walks, and for completely unpredictable emergency situations., It will be an excellent find for parents who can not or do not want to choose a separate stroller for each case. Cybex strollers are among those that never change - from the moment of purchase they are used always and everywhere, without requiring replacement or safety net.
- In today's world, few people will agree to buy even a good, but completely unsightly product, especially if a woman is more likely to go with him to people. German developers pay great attention to design too., to ensure that any gossip about the mother and her child concerned how to get such a stroller, and not at all the bad taste of the parents.
At the same time, you can make a purchase both in dealer stores and on the official Russian-language website. The latter also provides numerous advantages, among which, for example, the absolute guarantee of the originality of the goods. The service there is so advanced that it promises not only the delivery to the specified address by own couriers, but also their professional assistance in assembling wheelchairs.
It would seem that such a choice of stroller is impeccable, but all flawless products have one common drawback - their cost. Those models that, indeed, will meet the highest expectations, in some cases may cost the consumer more than a hundred thousand rubles, and relatively low-end models up to 20-25 thousand may not have all the best qualities.
Kinds
A good manufacturer always takes care of all the smallest needs of its customers, because it offers a wide selection of different solutions to the current situation. Similarly to Cybex, consumers can choose several types of strollers, thanks to which it is possible to refuse a universal solution for all cases, which do not optimally match any of them, in favor of a narrow-profile children's transport. So, in the line of the company are several varieties.
- Cradles for newborns. Here the main thing is to take care of the health of the baby, whose spine is ready to take on any irregular shape, which the low-quality pram will “prompt” to it. For this reason, the developers of new models in the process of creating the next stroller must consult with children's doctors, who help to bring the model in full compliance with medical requirements. Of course, it is very important to ensure the maximum cushioning of the course so that the baby does not wake up at each bump.
- Stroller will prove to be an ideal solution after the age of six months, when the child is already able to sit independently and more and more often walks in the wakefulness mode, studying the world with interest.
A good model must necessarily include the possibility of unfolding to an approximately lying position, because even an adult can get tired of sitting too long, and a child whose schedule is very different from ours is even more so.
- Stroller cane usually is the same stroller, only with significantly reduced weight.In fact, doctors believe that this type of model is not very useful for children's health due to the fact that it does not provide hard seating, but eminent companies like Cybex do everything possible to minimize the negative aspects of this decision. Moreover, it is problematic in the modern world to do without it - as soon as the parents want to go somewhere with the child, they will come to the conclusion that the “cane” would have come in handy.
- Transformer - This is the best solution for those who are not ready to spend money on two wheelchairs or simply want the purchased children's transport to be suitable in all situations. Most often, this design combines all the best features of the stroller and cradle, but completely devoid of the main advantage of the "cane" - low weight. However, such is the fee for universality.
In addition, the range of the brand has both single strollers and models for twins.
Design
Strollers and other products of the brand are often called elite, and it would be strange if the manufacturer achieved such a rank, pursuing only the goal of developing quality, but not investing in design. Very often, parents have to choose between the frankly “childish” design, which does not match the image of the leading adult, and also prevents the child from relaxing, and faceless wheelchairs, which have virtually no external differences from competitors. Of course, Cybex could not afford such negligence.
Of course, not all the strollers of this manufacturer can be called the pinnacle of style, but at least the fact of cooperation with Jeremy Scott speaks volumes. This man is considered to be perhaps the most promising modern fashion designer who dressed the stars of the level of Madonna and Katy Perry, Beyonce and Lady Gaga, as well as developing many sports collections for Adidas and Moschino. In the Cybex model line there are strollers, the design of which was developed by the same person.
A striking example of such a symbiosis is the Priam Lux Wings by Jeremy Scott model with characteristic wings located on the sides of the hood. On the one hand, such a design should please the child, since it still differs significantly from the banal monotony of most wheelchairs, on the other, such a small addition will not make the image of the mother awkward, and the child will not distract from sleep.
Thanks to the work with such a famous couturier, the Germans prove that even a wheelchair can be a stylish accessory. Another thing is that the model in question costs at least 140 thousand rubles, but the style and exclusivity have never been given to anyone for free. At the same time there are other good examples of fashion and style, including strollers with hoods decorated with butterflies and "paradise" birds.
Accessories
A good manufacturer of baby strollers will certainly offer the buyer to purchase all the necessary accessories with a kit with children's transport. It is also desirable to take care of the separate sale of such add-ons, because standard accessories can become useless over time, and often parents unknowingly and at all tend to buy a stroller with a minimum configuration, sincerely believing that they will never need all these bonuses.
Cybex refers specifically to those companies that care about their customers, so the official site even has a special section on the selection of accessories. It is quite logical that the presented accessories are designed for certain models of wheelchairs from the same manufacturer, and therefore are ideal for them.
The most popular among consumers uses a number of additions to the standard.
- mosquito net another decade ago it was considered exclusively window protection, but today it is often put on baby carriages. Dust and dirt, insects and pollen of various plants are all factors that can lead to a child’s poor health or even allergies.Having bought a corporate mosquito net, parents will be sure that the quality in this part is ensured at the proper level.
- Summer and winter covers allow parents not to buy two separate prams for different seasons, but to use one, which is very practical, in terms of saving money and space in the apartment. The summer modification is focused on the best possible ventilation while resisting excessive sunlight and the absence of obvious drafts, while the winter version, as it should be, protects well from cold weather.
- Capes for feet and the warmed envelopes serve as an additional, but still not global, warming for the cover, which allows you to more accurately adjust to the weather right now, without choosing only between the winter and summer option. Both those and others suggest a certain gradation according to the degree of warming, allowing the baby to feel equally comfortable at any temperature.
- Bags can be used completely for different purposes - some of them are designed to transport a folded pram in it while traveling, while others are a kind of cradle that can be placed on the chassis, turning into a pram, but can also be removed to take the baby with you without a stroller, without waking him.
- Given the collapsible nature of many modern transformers, the assortment also includes some parts of the wheelchair itself - for example, chassis, pleasure blocks and cradles, as well as car seats with the possibility of installation on the chassis. If necessary, for all this you can buy branded adapters.
Of course, this list of accessories from the manufacturer does not end there - in the line you can find absolutely any additions that will make the stroller even more comfortable and functional.
Popular designs
The range of the company under consideration is extensive enough to satisfy the needs of various consumers, but in some cases it confuses a potential buyer who simply does not know what to choose. To solve this problem, we will look at some models of the brand’s wheelchairs, highlighting their characteristics.
- Priam lux rightly considered the stroller that actually made the name of the company that created it. Such celebrities like David Beckham or Cate Blanchett have appreciated the premium of this stroller, since it has no minuses, if only the price does not scare you away - from 90 thousand rubles. But you choose the complete set yourself to the point that even the chassis comes in two different versions - conventional off-road and urban. A stroller can have only one block or be 2 in 1 and even 3 in 1.
Connoisseurs of beauty should pay attention to the modification with the words Jeremy Scott in the title - the Master has worked on its design.
- Callisto, according to the developers, is the embodiment of all those ideals that a typical "cane" should conform to. It is lightweight, has remarkable maneuverability, and is also very functional, since on the same chassis, according to the good tradition of the company, you can put a cradle or car seat. The cost of such an acquisition will be from 20 thousand rubles.
- Topaz - This is an attempt by the company to create a cane stroller in its pure form, without giving it any unusual opportunities to make it cheaper. Given the high build quality, 17 thousand rubles, really, a small price for such transport. The stroller is designed for off-road, because it is equipped with large wheels, besides it can withstand quite heavy kids - up to 22.5 kg.
So that the child is always comfortable, the hood drops down almost to the bumper, which makes it possible to protect the crumbs from the burning summer sun.
- Balios s presents a whole line of strollers designed for babies literally from the moment of birth. This design is predictably a cradle, but not simple, but enlarged, so that the child can ride in it up to one year old.Such a modification does not imply the use of a private walking unit, but is compatible with car seats belonging to the 0+ age group, therefore the theoretical period of use can even reach four years. Prices for such a universal and relatively inexpensive model start from 36 thousand rubles.
- Onyx by the manufacturer is regarded as a urban stroller of a sports type. It is ideal for active parents who would walk every day even without any child. As befits such a model, this stroller is very light due to the durable aluminum frame, while expanding it to one of the four reclining positions can be one smooth movement.
Now this model is out of production and is not represented in most stores, but for a few thousand rubles you can buy it from your hands, because amazing durability is a feature of its manufacturer.
- Mios - This is an exquisite stroller that will surely please lovers of rare books, who are competently entered into modern times. The key feature of such children's transport is its stylization under much older models, but with the preservation of all modern functionality.
- Fides - one more model, which is already practically withdrawn from sales, but still pleases some fans of transformers with its practicality. It is unusual in that it was able to solve the eternal problem of such wheelchairs — an excessively large weight, since this model will only delay by 11.5 kg. As befits an elite brand, weight reduction does not affect the performance properties of the model.
- Ruby will be an excellent stroller for children aged about three years - for those kids for whom such a stroller is clearly the last. This model has been worked out with the maximum expectation that it was comfortable not only for the child, but also for the parents, because the passenger is already quite heavy by this time, and it can be problematic to overcome any curbs with it.
Reviews
Finding any negative comments about Cybex products is very problematic - it’s immediately obvious that the guys don’t set such prices for nothing. All as one, consumers point out the excellent functionality of any stroller of this manufacturer, even the most budget. No matter what the weather is and how much the child weighs - with an expensive German stroller, each walk will be extremely enjoyable, because considerable money was invested in it.
The materials used also do not cause the slightest criticism - they are perfectly environmentally friendly, easy to clean, and, in general, do not too much attract dirt.
Separately, it is necessary to say about the style, which is inherent in all models without exception, and in particular to expensive models. Many mothers admit that after a first glance at such children's transport, I want to know as much as possible about it, and the details of the details only reinforce the conviction that it is imperative to buy such a stroller.
No review will be fair, if you do not find a product at least a small minus, but such is only one, and this is the price. Those models that the company under consideration is most famous for will turn out to be completely beyond the means of most Russians, but practically every family with any income level can afford a relatively simple “cane”.
