Cybex - Eos and Aton G Travel System

We got a really good deal on a cybex travel system they clearanced at pottery barn kids (like $300 something total) and it’s really nice. German made and very premium feeling. EOS and aton g combo

I have the cybex eos with anton 2 car seat :) A bit cheaper than the big brands but feels very premium

We love our cybex eos all in 1 convertible bassinet. Now that she’s older we put her in seat mode but when she falls asleep we just release the buckles so she can sleep lying flat. We had the cybex Aton 2 infant car seat and honestly we never needed to put it onto the stroller even though it could replace the bassinet. Recently got the evenflo gold 360 car seat and if we’d known you can use it from newborn to booster mode, we wouldn’t have even spent money on the infant car seat. Just keep the two separate. When we’d transfer her car seat to the stroller to try to not disrupt her nap she’d wake anyways from the motion and light. The bassinet did a better job a dimming and making a bubble for her to sleep in. In the end I’d just pick her up gently from the car seat, and tap her back to sleep in the bassinet.

Go in store to test out several strollers. Reviews will always be mixed since everyone has their own preference. Tip: make sure you have enough room in your trunk and you can lift the stroller into the car yourself! if you’re planning on having two kids, you should look into strollers that can convert into two seats. I’m very happy with my Cybex EOS travel system. It’s on the lighter side since I’m weak LOL

I went with the CYBEX EOS Lux Travel System and I’m really happy with it. I loved how easy it is to fold and how lightweight and compact it is. It worked perfectly with our infant car seat (we chose the Cloud Q), and I liked that this car seat was compatible and we could use the lie-flat feature when our baby was smaller. The stroller system comes with a bassinet, a regular seat that can face forward or backward, and a rain cover. The seat has three recline positions, which keeps baby super comfy, and the extended sunshade is great for coverage. It’s been great on all kinds of terrain so far, and it’s super easy to push and steer, especially with the 360° front wheels. I can literally push it with one hand! The bottom basket is roomy and even expandable if you pull the fabric out, and it holds up to 11 pounds, which is really nice. The handlebar is covered in leather and adjusts in height and angle, which I love. The only thing it’s missing is a snack tray or a spot to put your phone but for me this wasn’t something I cared for in a stroller. I actually like the minimalism but can always add these as accessories if needed. I’ve been using it since my baby was born (he’s 10 months now), and I honestly haven’t found anything I don’t like about this travel system.  

i feel like it depends on if you’ll be using a stroller a lot when your baby is young. that said, we have a Cybex Eos; the carriage part can convert into a bassinet, so no extra attachment per se. we take a lot of walks with our baby so we definitely feel it’s worth it for us! and in a pinch, it also works as a change table when we’re out and about 😂 i was also looking into the Mompush Lithe V2, which also has a carriage that can convert into a bassinet. it’s a travel stroller so it’s much more compact, but my husband really wanted the Cybex.

I know you didn’t ask but I was between these 2 travel systems and the Cybex Eos. I ended up going with the Cybex due to the quality & price point. So far, I love it - easy to handle & folds nicely, like the lay flat option without needing to have another bassinet attachment, has handled snow-dusted sidewalks well (obviously not deep snow). Just sharing another option for you to consider that I feel is in between the uppababy & maxi-cosi.

has better suspension than zelia! love the eos and you can get it as a travel bundle too with a car seat

Is it possible for you to try some strollers out in store to see what you like? This is a very personal decision. I am on my third and only stroller, the Cybex libelle. Yes it’s a “travel” stroller but I highly recommend it even for every day use. It works well even on uneven sidewalks in a metro area. It’s compatible with the car seat for when they’re newborns. Some people say the car seat is bad for them. Unless you’re walking for several hours it is not a big deal to use the car seat for an hour or two just like you would in the car. My daughter HATED the bassinet. She just didn’t want to lie down flat because of her reflux. Basically, if I did it over I would have not wasted my time and stress on trying to make those two full size strollers work for me. A lot of people like them. But they didn’t suit my lifestyle. The libelle probably has the most compact fold on the market I believe. It’s SO portable. My first was the Eos lux…I almost didn’t buy libelle because I hated that stroller so much. Impossible to fold!

Go to Babylist to see what you like BUT buy from Facebook Marketplace. So much cheaper as people decide they don’t like the stroller and want a new one/their kids grow out of their stroller. I got a full cybex set with bassinet, car seat and stroller seat for 50$ because the family was rich and they didn’t like that it was scratched from all their travels with it. It works like a dream and saved us like $900+. You may have to drive to the more bougie areas of LA for similar brands but it’s worth it!
