Removable Shopping Basket

So, what sets this stroller apart?

Visually, the first thing you’ll notice is the removable shopping basket. The Gazelle S 2023 offers an interesting frame and basket combo which is giving off major Bugaboo Donkey 5 vibes. The included removable shopping basket can hold 25 lbs and can be positioned up top for easy access for the parent. It has a zipper compartment on the inside which is ideal for your phone, sunnies, or some cash or your credit card. 

FYI, this storage is on top of the 30 lbs under basket storage capacity allowing you to transport up to 55 lbs of cargo at any time. Hell-o grocery haul.

Innovative Adapters

Is it possible to use all of the seat and basket configurations with ease? 

The answer is an overwhelming YES! The included upper adapters can move into 3 various positions and are marked on the stroller frame with an easy-to-read dot system.

The adapters easily slide UP and DOWN the stroller frame allowing you to accommodate lots of different combinations or a second rider (we will get to the second seat shortly). We love this innovative adapter system for many reasons starting with the fact that there is no chance of losing them since they are a permanent fixture on the stroller frame. They also offer flexibility as you get to choose where exactly you want the seat to be on the frame. Have you ever been to a busy café with no highchairs available? It’s the worst. The Gazelle S 2023 allows you to move the seat up or down to suit your needs allowing for you to bring the seat to table height if necessary.

Coolest part? The lower adapter mechanism can be flipped out to accommodate a second seat when the time comes. 

The Stroller Seat

• 3 Recline positions
• Reversible seat
• Swivel belly bar
• One-pull, no re-thread harnesses

The Gazelle S 2023 has an extendable canopy that zips out for an added layer of protection and reveals a mesh peekaboo window for visibility on a napping baby and extra ventilation. These days, no re-thread harnesses are considered “standard features” for parents shopping for a premium strollers and the Gazelle S 2023 does not disappoint. Cybex’s new user-friendly harness system makes securing your child in the stroller seat quick and easy. All it takes is just one simple pull — no more wrangling with your fussy baby.

The Cybex Gazelle S allows for 3 different recline positions including a near-flat recline. The lie-flat recline is ideal for smaller babies – which means you can use this seat from birth without any additional accessories. That being said, you may also want to pick up the Gazelle S 2023 Cot during the first few months, or transform your stroller into a travel system with a compatible infant car seat. The stroller is compatible with Cybex Aton Series infant seats with the included adapter, as well as Nuna PIPA Series and the Maxi-Cosi Mico Series. With additional adapters, you can also pair your Gazelle S 2023 with select seats from Graco, Chicco, Peg Perego, and Britax.

As your little one grows, the toddler seat adjusts to meet their needs. The seat is reversible with an adjustable footwell, which means your child can put their feet up as desired and face you or the world, depending on their preference. 

The Gazelle S is a single-to-double stroller and the first double stroller option from Cybex. The Second Seat is sold separately and does not require additional adapters – both seats can hold an equal weight of 50 lbs!

The Frame + Fold

If you are going to be pushing around this stroller with two full baskets and possibly two children, you'll need to ensure the stroller can keep up and offer a smooth ride. The Gazelle S 2023 offers large wheels and all-wheel suspension including added suspension in the stroller frame itself. 

The fold is easy to do once you’ve gotten the hang of it – here is a step-by-step guide.

1.  Pull up on the lever located on the back of the stroller seat to fold it into the frame.
2.  Press both white buttons found on the handlebar.
3.  Grab the lever on the side of the handlebar while also sliding the frame forward in one motion.

The Gazelle S 2023 free stands for easy storage and has a carry handle for easy lifting into your vehicle.
