7 of the best CYBEX car seats, prams and pushchairs now available in the UK
1. CYBEX Cloud T i-Size car seat, £229.95 (£429.90 with base)
Suitable for: 0-24 months/45-87cm/up to 13kg | Rear facing until: 87cm (around 24 months) | i-Size: Yes | Safety standard: R129 | Rotation: 180° | Weight: 4.5kg | MFM Review Star Rating: 4.7 stars
The Cloud T is a reliable, safe and flexible car seat that includes a comfortable in-car recline and can even lie flat when used as part of a travel system.
The car seat also has a 180 degree rotation when used in conjunction with the Base T (sold separately for £199.95) and can be easily taken out of the car and attached to a pushchair thanks to its travel system compatibility.
"Although expensive, I can see why the Cloud T comes in at the higher end of the price range as it’s functionality makes it more than just a car seat. It not only ticks the boxes for safety, but also comfort for baby and ease for parents — priceless?," said MFM reviewer Jessica, who tested the seat with her four-month-old daughter.

It might be expensive, but the good ADAC score (1.7, good when used with the Base T) and flexibility make the Cloud T a fantastic car seat to buy.

When to take the newborn insert out of CYBEX car seat?
One question we often get asked by parents is when to remove the newborn insert out of their car seat. CYBEX car seats include a newborn insert designed to keep newborn babies safe and comfortable by providing a snug fit while keeping your baby in an ergonomic position.
The best advice suggests you can remove the insert when your child reaches 61cm — this is around 3 months old, but this may vary depending on how quickly your child grows.
2. Balios S Lux Pushchair, £479.95
Suitable for: Birth to 22kg (approx 4 yrs) | Pushchair weight: 11.7kg | Carrycot weight: 4.6kg | Carrycot suitable for overnight sleeping: Yes | Pushchair unfolded dimensions: H100cm-110cm x W60cm x L81cm-91cm | Pushchair folded dimensions: H65cm x W48.5cm x L40cm | Folds with seat attached: Yes | Travel system compatible: Yes | MFM Review rating: 4.6 stars
The Balios is a fantastic, luxurious pushchair that is easy to push, easy to manoeuvre on a range of different terrains and has a one-handed fold that makes it ideal for city living.
It is a stylish, well crafted and easy-to-use pushchair that combines great design with great materials to make something that's well worth the price.
Katie, who tested it with her 6-week-old baby, found the Balios to be a sturdy, high-quality pushchair, which she said "runs smoothly on different terrains". This was echoed by MFM reviewer Francesca, who called it a "dream" to push across a variety of different terrains from Wimbledon Park to the Norfolk countryside with her four-month-old baby boy.
As is the case with many CYBEX products, the Balios provides both style and substance making it a great pushchair for parents.

3. e-Gazelle S, £1,029.95
Suitable for: Birth to 22 kg | Can be used with carrycots: Yes | Travel system compatible: Yes | Weight: 12.9kg | Dimensions unfolded: L93-106cm x W65cm x H100-110cm | Dimensions folded: L32cm x W56cm x H74.5cm | Number of seating configurations: 20+ | MFM Review rating: 4.4 stars
In the opinion of this writer, the e-Gazelle S is one of the coolest pushchairs on the market. Before you get to the really cool part, the Gazelle S is already a fantastic pushchair.
You get a stylish, streamlined design with adapters built into the frame, making it easy to switch from a seat to a carrycot with ease. It can be folded with 2 seats attached and those very same adapters mean it is compatible with infant car seats. It's also packed with storage and can be used in single mode with a shopping basket or converted into a double-pushchair for larger families. In fact, it has 20+ configurations making this the ultimate pushchair for a growing family.
On its own, the Gazelle S is a great buy (check out our Gazelle S review for more information) but the really cool feature, the feature that gives it the lowercase 'e', is the electric motor that gives you a boost when pushing. Whether you're heading uphill, over rough terrain or just looking to take the pressure off, the e-powered version of the Gazelle S is a fantastically innovative pushchair. It even has a built in rocking function to help get your child off to sleep.
MFM reviewer Sandy said, "pushing the CYBEX e-Gazelle S was a smooth and comfortable experience. With the e-assist engaged, I found it much easier to manage hills and slopes – the motor gave just the right amount of extra power going uphill, and the braking system helped control the speed when going downhill, which felt reassuring."

4. Click & Fold 4-in-1, £369.95
Age Range: birth to 99 years | Colour Options: All Natural, Stone Blue, Stunning Black, All White | Maximum Weight: 120kg
Highchairs aren't exactly the most inspiring products on the long list of parenting essentials, but it doesn't have to be that way. And you don't have to buy an ugly high chair that willlonly last you until your child outgrows the need for a highchair. With the CYBEX Click & Fold 4-in-1, you get, as the name suggests, 4 chairs in 1.
The Click & Fold includes everything you need to use this stylish chair from birth all the way up to 99 years including baby set, tray, bouncer seat and more.
This takes future-proofing to the next level, creating a well designed, easy-to-use and incredibly flexible chair that will fit in well with any modern kitchen or dining room. It's adjustable, folds away when not in use and is made with the same eye for design that you find in the rest of the CYBEX product range.
5. Anoris T2 i-Size Plus, £639.95
Suitable for: 15 months to approx. 7 years/76-125cm/up to 21kg | i-Size: Yes | Safety standard: R129 | Rotation: None | Weight: 12kgkg
One of the most innovative and well loved car seats on the market, the Anoris T2 i-Size Plus combines world leading safety tech with style and comfort to create a fantastic car seat.
Like the first version of the Anoris T car seat, the T2 i-Size Plus includes a full-body airbag built into an impact shield. This inflates during a front crash forming a C-shape which will, as CYBEX notes on their website, "protect the head, neck and body in milliseconds."
The soft, cushioned impact shield allows your child plenty of room to move and the forward-facing configuration allows for extra legroom.
Overall, CYBEX claims that this forward-facing seat offers 50% more protection than conventional forward facing seats.
As MadeForMums reviewer Sascha said in her review of the first generation Anoris T, "This is the most innovative seat we’ve ever used. It’s intuitive, comfortable and looks impressive too. Although it’s expensive, it did feel worth every penny and convinced us that this really is the way forward when it comes to forward-facing car seats."

6. CYBEX Orfeo Travel Pushchair, £299.95
Weight: 6.3kg | Age suitability: From birth to 22kg | Parent-facing option: With infant car seat | Travel system compatible: Yes | MFM Review Star Rating: 4.3 stars
Heading off on holiday? Or are you just after a great compact-fold pushchair for city living? Either way, the Orfeo is one of the best options on the market.
The Orfeo is lightweight, easy to push and comes ready to use right out of the box, making it a fantastically simple stroller option for parents.
The seat itself is ergonomically designed and has a lie-flat options that make it suitable from birth. You can also use car seat adaptors (sold separately) to attach an infant carrier.
MFM reviewer Allie said, "I was surprised by how easy it is to push the CYBEX Orfeo. I’m used to pushing the YOYO2 around, which is a notoriously bumpy ride for little ones, but the Orfeo glides fairly quietly over a variety of surfaces."

7. Coya Carrier Bouclé, £349.95
Age Range: up to 3 years | Colour Options: Stone Black, Cream White | Maximum Weight: 3.2kg - 15kg
Finding a baby carrier that fits well, allows for flexibility when it comes to carrying positions as your child grows and is, of course, easy to clean, can be difficult.
The Coya Carrier Bouclé uses, as CYBEX describe, "Intuitive fabric technology and a specially designed back panel adapt instantly to the child from newborn to toddler, with no adjustments needed."
Combine this with the adjustable shoulder straps that allow you to ensure the weight of your child is evenly distributed taking the strain off your back and the ergonomically supporting structure that naturally positions your babies legs to promote healthy growth, and you've got a fantastic baby carrier.
