If you're planning to expand your family or having twins, you may want to consider a convertible stroller.

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!

Why choose Cybex

Cybex originated in Germany, and has become an industry-leading baby gear brand. At the core of their product development lies the "Innovation Principle": a fusion of distinctive design, unparalleled safety, quality, and intelligent functionality. 

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. For example, their SensorSafe system on their car seats provides alerts to caregivers when potential dangerous situations arise, like if the child is left in the car or the child unbuckles the buckle. 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 Cybex Gazelle S 2 stroller? 

The Gazelle S 2 is Cybex's only convertible stroller, seamlessly transitioning from a single to a double stroller for siblings or twins—with no additional adapters required. You can use the Gazelle in single mode with the reversible toddler seat, a Gazelle S Cot, or an infant car seat from Cybex or several other popular brands. Unique to the Gazelle: the stroller includes a shopping basket that easily attaches to the upper position - just move the stroller seat to the lower position!

As a double stroller, the Gazelle offers plenty of flexibility for siblings or twins, offering more than 20 configurations and a 50-pound weight capacity per seat. Plus you can even add the Cybex Gazelle S Kidboard (sold separately) so a third child can come along for the ride!

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!
