- the lux carrycot is spacious and extremely comfortable
- the electric function is fantastic for going uphill
- the footmuff for winter is beautiful; everyone comments on how cosy my son looks sitting in his pram
- the seat reclines fully so that your baby can lie flat, which means long restful naps
- the automatic rocking function means that you can keep the pram moving slightly when you stop walking and this can help to keep your baby napping
- the sun shade doesn't block sun when the seat is fully reclined which means you have to purchase an additional sun shade to use in the summer
- it's quite bulky and heavy and takes up space in the boot of your car
I had to write a review as all the other reviews of this pram are negative, but I really love this pram.
Initially, I had some trouble with the battery, I really wanted it to work as I live in a very hilly area and often go on long walks uphill, so I contacted Cybex, who immediately sent me a replacement battery and talked me through how to use the electric function. Since then, I've used it daily. I've also used the rocking function to ensure my baby stays asleep when napping which was useful when he was smaller.
When my son was a newborn the lux carrycot was a dream, it was so so comfortable, much more comfortable than our cot and he fell fast asleep every time we went out. It's also the longest bassinet of any other pram I looked at so it lasted our baby a long time and I was so sad when I had to stop using it.
The seat unit is great as it reclines fully and my son loves to nap lying flat on his side, which he can do in this pram.
I will say the only downside for me is that even though it has a big canopy, it doesn't come down fully when the seat is reclined, so in the summer, I found that he was often disturbed by the sun in his eyes, I've since bought a universal sun shade online but think this is a flaw in the design.
