Cybex - e-Gazelle S

We love our Cybex e gazelle but it’s v heavy, wouldn’t want to be taking it in and out of the car every day. It’s also huge so hard to fit in some small shops and cafes round here. Our friends have the bugaboo and really like it. We also have a joolz aer for quick appointments/holidays and it’s amazing, so light. If it wasn’t for the lack of storage space, we’d probably use this as our full time pram.

I spent about 30 minutes doing laps with it around the store. I was using the assist feature pretty much the whole time. In that time I lost 1 battery bar. I was trying to get it to lose 2 battery bars (4 total), but I gave up since it was taking a long time. I feel like the battery life is really good even if you're having the stroller do all the work all the time. Maneuverability seemed similar to any other large stroller. It's not a nimble stroller to begin with, but I had no issues making tight turns down aisles that are effectively just a little wider than the stroller itself. The weight of large strollers in general is on the high side, and this one weighs 4lbs more than its non-electric variant. So 28lbs to 32lbs basically. Since you're only really dealing with the weight when lifting it, not a huge concern. It's a $200 price difference between electric and non-electric with 4lbs of added weight. If you think you'd use the electric feature, then it seems worth it. I can see it being very useful both going up and down hills. The downhill assist is just a backwards action on the throttle/lever instead of a forward action, and it adds resistance to the wheels to help keep it from rolling away and pulling you down the hill. The wheels are decently sized, as you'd expect with a full sized stroller capable of adding a second seat, which allow it to handle off-road type terrain fairly easily. The electric assist has a slow start so it doesn't just take off as soon as you push forward to have it help. It took a little getting used to the lag between pushing the lever and having it take over, but I feel like it's the right decision for how this should behave. I was told there may be a video for this test later today or tomorrow, not a review video, just a "people saw me pushing the stroller and decided to add Jellycat to it every few laps and record me" kind of video.

If you can afford this Donkey 5, just go for it. I think you'll find it's worth it. This was my first choice but it just didn't beat the tandem Cybex eGazelle for me.

Our child hates the rocking function (it’s not smooth at all, it’s a good idea though) but it’s great for us on hills

We are lucky enough not to need a stroller daily, but it is our primary! It shockingly folds pretty flat, and you can always remove the battery and it just becomes the regular gazelle whenever needed!

I have the e-gazelle and it has been so worth it. my twins are heavy and the e feature of the stroller really helps getting us up hills. Also the rocking feature is a lifesaver when I am out with the twins alone. I could have a conversation with someone at a counter and the rocking keeps my little guys quiet for a few minutes. It is pricey and the grandparents helped offset the cost. I would try to go that option if you can do a pooled gift.

We have the e-Gazelle. I bought it quite a bit before our baby arrived and spent a lot of time thinking I was an idiot who got suckered into the novelty of an electric stroller. After having now actually used it for a month, it is fantastic. We don't even have many hills around us, but my baby loves the rocking feature. He uses it for some naps in our house, and if he's being a bit difficult to go to sleep I just put him in that and turn the rocking on. He's out super quick and the rocking times out after like 15 minutes. It is also awesome for being out and about, like a patio restaurant. I would highly recommend it, especially if you have a bunch of hills.

I have CYBEX e gazelle with 2 nuna car seats and an extra toddler seat. All was about 2400. So expensive, I choked. But it’s super smooth and it has a motor that helps you push. That’s helpful to us because we have twins and they can get pretty heavy. It’s been an investment for our backs. Nuna car seats because they’re light in weight, also to save our backs.

I have the cybex gazelle s but there is a new egazelle which helps with up and down hill but the max weight is 22kg/48lb. Almost in the same problem my 2 1/2 year old is 40 inches and 40 lbs

Cybex e-Gazelle S is what we have. Like the Uppababy Vista but better weight capacity, really streamlined and the electric motor is amazing if you’re in an even moderately hilly area. You can fold it with both seats attached.

I also got Cybex everything due to it being a good deal (and free $400 platinum footmuff) - I ended up with the e-Gazelle with Cloud G Lux car seat. The e-Gazelle was excellent, particularly the rocking feature which helped my baby sleep in restaurants, outdoor events, and at friends’ places. I also liked the fact that the Cloud G car seat extends to almost lay flat so baby was not confined to one position while outside the car. These items are not light however, so may be difficult for some people to lift. I agree that MSRP is too much, but on sale it was well worth every penny.
