Cybex Balios S or Stokke Beat? What are the cons of these strollers, and which would you choose?

23 Sep 2020

Hello,

I would like a small but functional stroller, and I am between Cybex Balios S and Stokke Beat.
What is your opinion on these two strollers? Do they have any important disadvantages that I should know about?

Between the two of them, which one you think is the best?

Thank you very much

Hi there!

Here, for me, an absolute winner here is the Stokke Beat. I will, of course, tell you my reasons. It is a higher, also higher-positioned, model that is more luxurious (and from a more luxurious brand). It is cool to have your child higher up, and an added bonus would also be the fact that not everybody has it (but pretty much everybody has the Balios S Lux, also because it is quite affordable).

Both strollers also have their cons - an urban, harder ride (not as smooth suspension), shorter leg rest + narrower seat... But I find the Beat, mainly the newer ones, better made. And so I would go for the stylish, more unique, and higher-up choice.

Your -very berry- Eli.

Now, this is your place to ask. I'm listening.
