CBX Bimisi Flex
The CBX Bimisi Flex is an affordable stroller system featuring a 2in1 bucket-type seat that can be transformed into a carrycot. The Bimisi Flex is a practical and space-saving option for baby’s first months. The seat is relatively small - you may need to replace the Bimisi Flex with a more spacious stroller after a year or two. It can be attached to the chassis in both directions and reclined into three positions, from upright to completely reclined. Apart from the carrycot, there is an option of a car seat for your newborn. The CBX Shima car seat is compatible with Bimisi and Leotie strollers without any need of adapters. However, to pair the Bimisi Flex with a Cybex/Maxi-Cosi or other well-known car seat brand, you will need adapters.
Bimisi was also released in the higher Bimisi Pure version with an identical chassis, but with larger seat unit and a separate carrycot.

Parent reviews of the CBX Bimisi Flex
- Very big shopping basket
- Very durable (I've used it 2.5y)
- Changing seat positions is very easy
- Switching from the seat to the baby carrier is the best feature
- Canopy does not provide enough shade
- Front wheels are too small
- The seat unit is a bit short
- After a short time, changing the handle length becomes difficult
- The tire amortization is not the best
Very durable stroller for the price, but with only a little bit more money, you can get a lot better stroller.
- Soft padding
- Wipe-clean footrest
- XXL basket can carry a week worth of shopping
- Budget-friendly price
- Low weight
- Carrycot part is quite shallow (not for a winter baby)
- Hood could be even larger (in the reclined/carrycot position)
- No peek-a-boo window
- Small front wheels - not good for bad terrain
Good. Nothing special, but pretty and functional, being a budget option. I found the carrycot configuration kind of shallow, and I would like an even larger hood when the seat is reclined (or transformed into a carrycot). Nice materials, good padding. We live in the suburbs, and there we did not have problems on our roads - but the small front wheels won't be performing well in bad terrain.
