Cybex Balios S

Sturdy but heavy and difficult to fold.

It's a reliable stroller. I have used it for almost two years now and I have very few complaints.

If you live in a flat and don't have a lift or space where to leave it downstairs, I don't recommend it for you.
The cover is machine washable, retains the colour, it is spacious and smooth when pushing it.

If you use public transport, it might be difficult to have enough space for another stroller.

The basket is big enough and the canopy covers a lot from the sun. If it rains, the cover is ok, however with wind it struggles to stay put.

I believe there are better strollers for the price I paid (it is a bit pricey) but it is overall a good stroller

I bought the Balios S after the Joolz Geo. On the first ride, my little one almost flew out of the stroller because it feels much lighter than the Geo. The one-handed manoeuvrability is great.

My little one is 10 months old and she is absolutely fine in it. In the winter we were with the Elodie Details footmuff and it was also great.

I was expecting more from the folding, but I finally figured out how to fold it. It takes up a lot of space, though, in my opinion.

We've had it five months, a friend reinforced the front rattly wheels with a rubber band seal and they don't rattle anymore.

It squeaks a lot, so I carry lube spray with me and then it's ok. But despite all the shortcomings, I'd still say it's great because it really rides by itself. 😉

A weak stroller - it didn't ride well, the front wheels were rattling. The canopy was thin and very bendy.

I am rating the stroller after about nine months of use. I bought it when I was pregnant and tried the pushchair version first, with my older daughter. The seat is overall a kind of middle ground. Like a classic system - nothing great. Up to 2 years old, approximately, the baby should definitely fit. In summer though, I can't imagine it in the winter. Later we bought a bassinet and a car seat for the baby who came into the world in the winter.

To my surprise, the stroller doesn't have any big problem to cross a harder terrain. The wheels don't rattle, as I've read a lot, they're just foam in the front - so wear shows a bit on them. This is to be expected. The bassinet is quite long, but narrow. The canopy is quite short - that visor is a bit unnecessary. Overall, though, it's a lightweight stroller.

Need to figure out the right feel for how to fold it. The first attempts were pretty nerve wracking :)

A good stroller at a good price. It has more advantages than disadvantages, so I am satisfied.

I was looking for a simple, light, and compact stroller, ideally a three-in-one travel system. The Balios S was love at first sight - it fulfills everything I need. I think there's really nothing to fault in the price range.

I am very satisfied with the pushchair.

Quite a lightweight pushchair. For larger children a bit too small. With a heavier bag, it tipped over with our little one.

The stroller is fine to look at. It also has some good features like an extendable canopy, easy changing of positions and easy turning of the seat.

But I didn't find it very comfortable - the handle rattles a lot, it's not sturdy. It is difficult to react to changes in direction, and even more difficult to operate with one hand. The canopy is very unstable, when the wind blows harder, it bends it to the sides.

In its description, it stands after folding. However, this is not very true, because if the front wheels curl a little, the stroller falls.

So far we've gone everywhere with it - regular broken sidewalks, high curbs, grass, even a gravel road. My daughter is a year and a half old - she slides out of her seat when she's not buckled in, and it's less roomy for sleeping - but she doesn't complain and likes to ride in it. The suspension is weaker than on the robust 3 in 1 prams, but we've got used to it. Easy folding is possible in both directions, when folded, it fits in a smaller car. I'm quite happy with the stroller 😊
