The Libelle 2 was designed for the jet-setting family. Sure, you can bring it along on your everyday outings, but taking it on the road, airplanes, and family vacations is where this tiny giant shines!
Featuring one of the world's smallest compact folds, the Libelle 2 aims to make your journey as smooth as can be. With a genius space-saving design, the Libelle 2 folds into a hand luggage-compliant unit, fitting effortlessly into car trunks, train compartments, overhead bins, and even under airplane seats! You can also save on trunk space by placing it on the floor of your backseat.
At a mere 13.7 lbs., the Libelle 2 is a featherweight champ in the stroller world. While light enough for effortless carrying and handling, it's a remarkably sturdy stroller compared to some of its competition (travel strollers have a reputation for being more “floppy” than their normal-sized counterparts).
Despite its ultra-compact design, there’s still plenty of space under the seat for storage. Whether it's diapers, snacks, or a few extra layers, you’ll have easy access to your essentials while staying hands-free!
Infancy to Early Childhood
Designed for use from six months to approximately four years, the Libelle 2 grows alongside your child. Its adaptability and durability make it a long-term companion for your little one's journey through their early years.
Cybex includes the following features that prioritize your child's comfort during travel:
- One-Pull Harness: An upgrade from the OG Libelle, the new Libelle 2 features a one-pull harness that delivers a precision-fit in seconds. No more fussing as your child grows!
- Recline Seating: With its “infinite recline” feature, this stroller goes beyond the ordinary. It allows for four seating positions and offers flexibility for your child to recline to their preferred angle. Whether it’s a midday nap or just a relaxed posture, this adjustable system lets your child unwind, ensuring they stay content and cozy.
-
Leg Rest: The newly updated adjustable leg rest is slightly longer with more cushioning than the previous Libelle model, ensuring your child's legs are properly supported as they grow. Whether sitting upright or reclined, the leg rest can be customized to complement the seating position, allowing for ideal relaxation. This thoughtful addition pampers your little explorer with a comforting environment while on the go.
-
Front-Wheel Suspension: From bustling city streets to uneven pathways, the Libelle 2's front-wheel suspension system plays a pivotal role in ensuring a smooth and steady ride. This setup absorbs shocks and vibrations, minimizing jolts and bumps experienced by your kiddo — even on the roughest surfaces!
Travel Compatibility
The Libelle 2 isn’t just for use with the included seat. In fact, it’s a transformer!
Compatible with Cybex's award-winning infant car seats, the Libelle 2 morphs into a travel system that offers additional flexibility for your journey. Additionally, its array of available accessories — a bumper bar, travel bag, and cup holder — ensures all your travel needs are met.
Speaking of travel needs, for added convenience, most airlines accept the Libelle 2 stroller as cabin luggage due to its ultra-compact folded dimensions. However, we recommend you check with your preferred airline beforehand to ensure compliance with their specific cabin luggage guidelines.
Safety on the Road
Everyone knows how important child safety is, and Cybex includes an XXL sun canopy and 5-point, one-pull harness system to protect your tot.
The canopy offers extensive coverage, shielding your little one from harsh sun rays and unexpected weather changes, ensuring their sensitive skin remains protected during outdoor strolls. Meanwhile, the 5-point, one-pull harness secures your child snugly within the stroller, providing maximum safety and stability. This harness design guarantees your child stays comfortably seated, reducing the risk of unexpected movements and ensuring a worry-free and secure journey.
Love The Libelle
To sum things up, the Libelle 2 Ultra Compact Stroller from Cybex has redefined the standards of travel convenience.
Its combination of compactness, lightweight design, comfort features, safety, and adaptability make it an ideal companion for parents seeking a stress-free travel experience. This is your chance to say goodbye to bulky strollers and embrace the Libelle 2, a sleek option that preserves space without compromising comfort.
Plus, Cybex has added a whole bunch of beautiful colourways, so you can select the one that best matches your vibe!
