Here’s a head’s up for you stroller aficionados: the European brand, Cybex, is making its grand entrance onto the U.S. and Canadian markets. The high-end strollers look both stylish and functional with its distinctive, bold colors and clean lines. These umbrella-style strollers are described as being lightweight and travel-friendly, with easy maneuvering and quick-fold function. Cybex strollers come in the Ruby, Onyx, Topaz and Callisto designs and based on their different functionalities, range from $140-350.
Always one to admire stylish but durable strollers, I’m particularly excited about this new line. Though I have yet to check out these strollers in person, I love the sleek design and the way the stroller seat is higher off the ground than other umbrella strollers. My favorite of the group, the Callisto, seems versatile and multi-faceted with its various features; it touts a pram function, comfort suspension and a one-pull harness system. I’d be interested to see how these strollers really withstand city streets and everyday use, which is obviously paramount for families like us. I love the way the vibrant colors contrast with the light-colored frame. The design is a definite head-turner and reflects its German influence; compared to the umbrella strollers already on the market, Cybex could be the Volkswagen of strollers…or maybe even BMW.
Cybex strollers will be available on August 1st at select retailers. The Cybex baby carrier will be available later this year as well. If I ever have a chance to test drive these strollers, I’ll be sure to report back!
