Babystyle Hybrid Ezy Fold
The hyBrid Cabrio Ezy Fold (from the British BabyStyle brand) was released in 2020. This lightweight, compact-folding stroller is an excellent travel companion that is, thanks to its size, also suitable to take with you on board of a plane as a carry-on (if you remove the bumper bar). The name of the stroller suggests its very simple, one-handed folding system. One-handed is also the mechanism of the strap recline of the backrest, and also the lever-operated adjusting of the footrest.
The forward-facing seat can be adjusted up to a full recline - in the backrest as well as in the leg rest part. It also features a canopy with an expandable, zip-open mesh extension panel, as well as a sun visor - all equipped with UV protection. The Ezy Fold is supplied with a protective travel bag; other accessories have to be purchased separately. Differently colored hoods are also a style-change you can opt for.

Parent reviews of the Babystyle Hybrid Ezy Fold
- Canopy
- Compact folded size
- Basket made so that things don't fall out through the sides 👍
- Wheels
- Short laying surface
I must praise the great sun shade and the super compact size. I must say the wheels look much cheaper in reality - they look luxurious on the picture but very plastic-y IRL. They also are truly for smooth surfaces only - otherwise, they get noisy on cobblestones and stuck in holes a lot. I recommend it for traveling. We've got the color with the rose gold chassis.
- looks great! (mainly thanx to the frame)
- small when folded!
- XXL hood
- lever recline
- nice leg rest
- bumper bar included
- thin, creasy fabrics
- small wheels
- no footrest
The fold is really easy-peasy. Also, the recline! No straps!! Lever seatback adjustment is so rare on an ultra compact pushchair 🤩 These, and the luxurious metal frame were why we bought it. Oh, and the hood (it's really nice and large, an above-average for this type). All that is just as we imagined it.
The downsides would be quite a short seat back (even though an OK-sized short leg rest, so not for long naps and a large/tall toddler. Also, when the leg rest is down, the footrest is practically nonexistent, so the feet always dangle if the leg rest is not lifted up. It's more of a short strolls/travels/errands of a buggy - nothing for everyday "all terrain" use. To fold it in and out of the car though, there's not much better.
