Cybex Gazelle S 2 vs. Cybex e-Gazelle S Stroller Comparison

If you're planning to expand your family or having twins, you may want to consider a convertible stroller. Convertible strollers are single stroller that can adapt and become double strollers either right away or years down the road when a sibling comes into the picture. One of the most versatile convertible strollers on the market is the Cybex Gazelle. With over 20 configurations, the Gazelle S 2 seamlessly transitions from a single to a double stroller with no additional adapters required!

Cybex strollers are known for their sleek and stylish designs. They offer modern and attractive aesthetics, appealing to parents who value both functionality and fashion. Cybex is also one of the industry leaders in integrating advanced technology within the baby gear world.

Now Cybex is unveiling their second stroller with electric support - the e-Gazelle S - making pushing uphill and on different terrains a breeze. Let's take a closer look at the Gazelle line!

What is the best Gazelle? The Cybex Gazelle S 2 or the e-Gazelle S?

There is no "best Gazelle" - it's really dependent on what Gazelle is best for your lifestyle. Since they are so similar, it really comes down to if you need the electric features of the e-Gazelle S. If you live in a hilly neighborhood or one with a lot of uneven terrain, there's no question the e-Gazelle is going to make your life easier! However, if you live in the suburbs and have mostly flat, paved roads, then you'll be just fine with the regular Gazelle S 2!

Another consideration are age and weight of the children riding. The heavier the kids, the more the e-Gazelle S will make a difference in terms of ease of pushing. This may be hard to predict if you are purchasing the Gazelle from the beginning of your parenting journey though. Also, good to remember the e-Gazelle is a few pounds heavier and a bit larger than the regular Gazelle S 2 so making sure it fits in with your lifestyle is essential. 

There is no question either Gazelle stroller is a wise investment! Either of these strollers is sure to make the parenting journey smooth and enjoyable, no matter where the stroll may lead!
