Cybex

You'll push this thing every day for the next four years, park it in your hallway, and load it into your boot several hundred times. Cybex is built on the idea that it should be something you like looking at as well as something engineered to protect your child. Very few brands take both halves seriously.

German Engineering With a Design Studio Attached

Cybex is a German brand, and it approaches a pram the way a car manufacturer approaches a car. Safety engineering comes first and is tested hard, but the shape, the materials and the colour palette get the same attention. That's unusual in this industry, where function usually arrives dressed in grey plastic. It's why you'll find leather-look details on a bumper bar and considered colourways like Almond Beige and Moon Black rather than a choice between black and slightly different black. The result is gear that reads as part of your house rather than equipment parked in it.

Built to Be Reconfigured, Not Replaced

The thing we rate most about Cybex is that the frames are designed to change jobs. A Gazelle S starts as a single pram with a carry cot, takes a capsule with an adapter set, then accepts a second seat or a kid board when another child arrives, all on the frame you already own. That's a genuinely different proposition from buying a new pram every time your family changes shape. The eGazelle S takes it further with motor assistance, which is worth knowing about if you live somewhere with hills or you're regularly pushing two children plus the shopping. On the safety side, Cybex's linear side-impact protection is engineered into the seats to absorb and redirect force in a side collision.

Where Cybex Fits Into Your Day 

• The first months: the Cloud Q capsule is unusual in that it reclines to a lie-flat position once you're out of the car, so a sleeping newborn stays comfortable on a long café stop rather than staying curled in a car seat angle.

• Everyday walking: the Gazelle S sits in the full-size pram category with a large basket and an upright seat, while the Coya folds down for anyone who needs a travel pram for the boot or the plane.

• A second child: the second seat converts the frame you own into a double pram, which costs a great deal less than starting again.

• Hands-free days: the LAYA and AMYA carriers cover the stretch where your baby wants to be held and you want to make lunch.

• Starting solids: the Lemo2 high chair takes a newborn bouncer attachment early on and then adjusts upward for years, so it stays at the table long after the purée stage.
