Cybex Gazelle S
.eli
The Cybex Gazelle S (from the Cybex Gold line) is the first single-to-double convertible stroller from Cybex, usable as either a single stroller or a double - tandem stroller. When it comes to its size, weight, and amount of space for a child, the stroller falls into the middle range. However, the chassis with a high weight capacity (each seat holds up to 22 kg), as well as a super-spacious shopping basket with a capacity of another extra 12 kg, is certainly impressive. There are also wheels with suspension and no-maintenance foam tires, helping the stroller can glide even through uneven surfaces.
The chassis is compatible with either one or two seat units, one or two Cot S carrycots, one or two car seats, or any desired combination of those. It also comes with a handy second shopping basket in the form of a bag that can be attached instead of a seat unit. Altogether, the Gazelle S offers you up to 24 possible configurations - enough options for customizing the stroller to any of your current needs. Any other accessories, including another Shopper bag (yes, you can add two extra shopping bags and use the Gazelle S as an XXL shopping basket!), are available separately.

Best Deals for Cybex Gazelle S
Parent reviews of the Cybex Gazelle S
- Handles well, feels light when pushing
- Can convert into a double
- Compact fold
- Large deep carrycot
- Large carrycot hard to fit into boot
- Heavy to lift, especially over steps/stairs
This is a great pram. It handles really well and has a compact fold meaning I can’t fit it into my tiny car boot. The carrycot is excellent, very roomy, and deep, so I never worry about the baby being cold. The pram is very heavy so is awkward going up and down steps.
- narrow seats
- frame does not feel durable
- design
- price
- basket
A bit narrow seats and the whole frame is a bit rattly (I would welcome a sturdier one). I didn't want a side by side so it will do, and the basket is an exquisite idea, aaand the price is not bad... but the quality could be a bit higher. Overall, however, nice design and cool ideas.
- design
- weight
- materials
- basket
- non-bucket seat units!
- variability
- basket instead of one seat
- simplicity (in a good way)
- long seat/laying surface
- basket gets lost when using a lower carrycot
- not the sturdiest
- seats are a bit open
I only saw and tried it as it was introduced on an expo. I didn't feel like the sturdiest single-to-double in the world, but, on the other hand, it is so variable, not heavy at all, and feels well-made materials-wise, I think it's gonna be the perfect middle ground and a great bargain - mainly when I compare it with the rather expensive tandem stroller systems available nowadays.
A great idea in an affordable package! I can't wait for it to get available in the shops.
Your questions about the Cybex Gazelle S
I’m wondering between the Cybex Gazelle S and Easywalker Harvey, both in dual mode. I’m having a 20 months old and a newborn. We have 6 steps to climb in our building, leading to a narrow elevator. I walk a lot and almost don’t use the car, as we live near the city center.
Is it possible to climb up or down stairs with such a high stroller loaded with kids? Which stroller will handle better in your opinion?
It looks as if the Harvey lower cot is really close to the ground compared to the Cybex, which means that whoever is at the bottom will breathe and catch a lot of dust (the nearest park has dusty / muddy alleys). Which pram has a more elevated bottom seat?
Hey, Teodora,
It is possible, but not easy at all. I tried that with the Quinny Hubb and what I did was to climb backward, pulling the stroller up on the back wheels, but you need to be ready for quite some strength needed to do that. It is possible that in the end, the easier way would be to just put at least the older one out of the stroller. This backward pulling would only be possible with the Cybex though, at least when we talk about a setup with a carrycot - later on, with two seats, the Harvey can be pulled up too, but I don't think you can do that with the carrycot and a seat on that one.
About the height, you are right that the back child, which is usually the younger one, is quite low (in the Cybex's case, it's the older, in the front, who'll be lower). Not ideal, of course, but the idea is to save space and have a nimble-ish stroller which is why space is not optimal, perhaps, but practical for maneuvering. I like the Harvey's setup a bit more, even if it's maybe a bit more cramped, but for maneuvering, to have a child in the back makes for a much better center of gravity. Yes, the Gazelle can have that setup, but only parent facing or straight-legger for the older one, which can be done but may be not ideal.
So personally, is I would be walking a lot and even going up stairs, I would maybe think about the Harvey a bit more, myself, even if Gazelle feels a bit more modular. Also, the nice suspension on the Harvey is something I really liked. That being said, both are very nice and not a bad choice at all, so choose with your heart, I don't think you will make a bad choice out of the two. If pushing comfort is the priority, go for the Harvey, and if the space between the seats and modularity are the more appealing feature to you (plus the pulling up the stairs), go for the Gazelle.
Also good to know - a 2 years old may be a bit big for a reversible seat. It would be good to try the strollers out, and perhaps think of something with a bench seat instead, e.g. the Baby Jogger City Select Lux, space-wise.
I am looking for the dimensions of the pram when folded with both seats attached - the bottom seat forward facing and the top seat rear facing. Hope you can help, many thanks!
Hi, Ryn,
I am sorry, but I don't have this measurement. Check in. this video though:
The lady doesn't tell you the dimensions but based on her size and the room, you'll have an idea about how the fold will look like and how large it is.
How tall are the seat backs? Are the canopies adjustable for tall children?
Heya,
You'll find the seat measurements (those that we could get our hands on 😉) in the Seat Unit part of the stroller specifications. The seatback of the Gazelle S seat is 46 cm, and the canopies are, unfortunately, not height-adjustable. You can open and extend them but can't slide them higher than they are.
As most reversible double/twin/sibling strollers and also a stroller system/combination, Cybex Gazelle S's seats are not the largest and are on the narrower side, so they'll last less (about maybe 2-2.5 years, if your kids are smaller, might last up to three years old).
I hava a Cybex Mios2, can I use the Mios seat on the Cybex Gazelle S chassis?
Hi, Ayu,
No, you can't, I am sorry. The connectors of the Cybex Mios are different than the Gazelle S's, so you won't fit parts of one to the parts of others, it's not possible.
P.S. Even if you could, the frame of the Gazelle is counting on a certain center of gravity, and the smaller, lighter Cybex Mios's seat unit might make the push and the stability comprmised. Just FYI, it's good to know. In any case, the Gazelle frame and the Mios seat are not compatible.
I'm looking for the seat back height, width, and depth of the gazelle and how it compares to others on the market, are these measurements you can provide?
Hey there, Annie,
Yeah, sure! The seatback measurement is 46 cm (backrest height), the width of the seat is 28 cm, and the depth of the sitting space is 24 cm. The seatback is a rather average size (nothing too large but works), the sitting surface's space is perhaps a bit narrower but ok.
Salve quando sara disponibile? (EN: Hi, when will it be available?)
Hello, the date of releasing the Gazelle S has not yet been made public, so I cannot tell you exactly. It should certainly come out this year (2020), and the expectations are "spring", but that was not yet confirmed. We are all eager to know, and there will, for sure, be updates!
