CBX Kody Lux

CBX Kody Lux is a higher version of the CBX Kody - a simple-functioning stroller with a reversible seat. The Kody and the Kody Lux differ only in design - the Lux looks more luxurious thanks to the added eco-leather accents. Another features to catch your eye include the stroller's specific design, the spacious seat, but also the affordable price.

The full-suspension chassis features larger wheels for a more comfortable ride through the city. It is also compatible to pair up with a car seat to create a practical travel system - the adapters needed are already included with the stroller. The seat can be fully reclined up to a lie-flat position - in both the backrest and the leg rest area. You can also purchase your Kody in a set with a newborn nest as a Kody Cozy, but also as a full-features 2in1 stroller system with a carrycot, the Kody Pure.

Your questions about the CBX Kody Lux

1)

Would any Cybex car seat fit to the stoller?

Thank you in advance!

Hi, Mary,

With the adapters, yes, all Cybex (and also Maxi-Cosi, Joie, Kiddy and more car seat brands with the same attachment system) will fit on the Kody Lux frame.

Hello dear team,

Can I remove the cover and wash it? I have problems with the canopy, the cover does not go off because it is fixed to the sun canopy with rivets. LG

(from original German: Hallo liebes Team,
Kann man den Bezug abmachen und waschen.? Ich habe Probleme mit den schirm, der Bezug geht nicht raus weil es am sonnen Verdeck fest gemacht ist mit Nieten. LG)

Hi, Dora,

No, these covers were not designed to be removed and washed in the washing machine. It might actually damage them or make them fade, not even talking about the difficulty to put them back on. It should be hand-wash only.

I put together more about how to clean your stroller HERE in this article about stroller cleaning and maintenance and I recommend reading it, it is valuable information about more than just cleaning, making your stroller last longer pretty.

Is Kody more like the Cybex Balios S or the Cybex Eezy Twist 2 Plus? Difficult to find out its size on these photos.

Hi, Zallaah,

This is certainly more of a mid-size stroller, so size-wise, it's kind of like the Cybex Balios S. The [[cybex-eezy-s-twist2|Cybex Eezy S+2 is a smaller pushchair.

Also, you would do well to compare their unfolded and folded dimensions, they are always in the Specification part under the stroller, just click on "The Basics" part.
