The Cybex Onyx belongs to the Cybex Gold series. It is a modern umbrella stroller with high weight capacity - tested up to 22.5 kg in Europe. The Onyx is a spacious stroller suitable for bigger children as well as the smallest ones. With the purchase of an optional car seat and adapters you can create a travel system. The patented harness adjustment system is more typical for car seats and unique for an umbrella stroller. The Onyx is a lower version of the Topaz with smaller wheels, no harness padding or a head hugger.

if you own(ed) it, own it ;-)
parents say thx^^
  • Higher weight capacity
  • Lay-flat backrest
  • Extendable hood
  • Nothing, except for the wheels squeaking

This is my already second Onyx. One I bought at home, and I was very happy with it. The other I orderer from Italy through Amazon - and its wheels squeak a lot, even though I lubricated them twice already. Everything else is fine.

Your questions about the Cybex Onyx

1)

Hi, I am wondering if I can use Cybex Onyx as cabin size one?

Hi, Memol,

No, unfortunately, you cannot, it is too long for the cabin luggage requirements. Always be sure to check the measurements required by your airline, and the folded dimensions of the stroller.

Hi,

I have a Cybex Onyx. Is there a hook for the seat belts and buckle? I have disassemble the seat. I don't recall there is a hook. Please help me

Hiya, Jocelyna,

I am sorry but can't help you as I don't have this buggy at home. There should be a hook or at least plastic clamps on them for the straps to hold behind the holes - everything had lots place of course... Though I cannot tell you where it is.

I also state in this article about cleaning your stroller I strongly don't recommend washing the covers etc. as it can damage them and is very hard to put back together - try contacting Cybex and for the next time, film your detaching of parts to be able to check how everything was. Good luck...
