Teutonia BeYou! Elite (V4)
The Teutonia BeYou! Elite was released in 2016. This stroller is a fourth generation of the all-terrain Teutonia BeYou! stroller offering a possibility to add a hard carrycot and/or a car seat. The robust chassis with a soft suspension system is easily maneuverable. You can choose from three colors of the chassis. The reversible handlebar allows you to change the seat direction and helps to overcome even a rough terrain with the larger rear wheels. Wheels are made of hardened rubber featuring the Air Ride technology. You have got two types to choose from: the “3’’ type or the larger “7R’’ type. You can even purchase an optional front terrain axle with fixed wheels. The decelerating handbrake is also an optional accessory.
The Elite comes with a significantly improved seat which is now more spacious, more comfortable and even includes a comfortable head insert. The seat unit can be reclined flat. You can now easily adjust the height of the safety belts without the need for rethreading. This new system of belt adjustment is very similar to the one used in car seats. The height adjustable bumper bar is now covered in leatherette.
You can purchase an optional soft carrycot that you can add to the seat, or a hard, foldable carrycot to use the stroller from birth. Using adapters, you can also attach a car seat. Many other accessories are also available: footmuffs, hand muffs, a summer set with a sun visor, an umbrella, the original all-weather shield, wheel covers or the expandable changing bag.

Parent reviews of the Teutonia BeYou! Elite (V4)
- manipulation is flawless
- large, wide carrycot
- spacious, lay-flat seat unit
- no sun shield or other shade (there is a sold-separately one)
- chassis is a little heavy
Our little one was in the carrycot until her 7 months - and if she didn't start to be unhappy in it, she'd still be using it. It is crazy spacious. The pushing of the pram is so very easy - even with one hand. Sturdy. Chassis is more on the heavy side, but I cannot compare it to any other stroller systems since I did not try any other. I personally would appreciate a lighter chassis. I miss a sunshade or a so-called extendable hood - both on the carrycot and the seat unit. Otherwise, we were completely satisfied with it.
