This pram was reviewed by Robyn, a mum in her 20s living in Oxford. Her baby, James, is three months old. Robyn has a part-time job in marketing, so her days can be quite hectic with a new baby. Having a reliable pram is essential for them as they often take long walks in the park on her lunch breaks, so they need a pram that is hassle-free but sturdy.

First Impressions
The Cybex Gazelle pram came with everything we needed - the main seat, an extra seat for future use, a carrycot for James, and a kid board for older siblings if I ever decide to have more children. The seat is incredibly spacious, so James has room to grow and move comfortably.
Assembling the pram was straightforward, and it (luckily) came with clear instructions. I was quite anxious about setting up the pram as this is my first child, and I've never set up a pram before, but it was way easier than I thought it would be.
Comfort & Ease of Use
The seat unit is plush and well-padded, keeping him comfortable during our long walks. Pushing and steering the pram is effortless, even with one hand. The fabrics are easy to clean, which is a real lifesaver for busy mums like me.
Oxford has quite a lot of cobbled streets in the city centre, and this pram is great for ensuring a smooth ride, keeping James asleep when he’s napping mid-walk. It’s also great for going over grass, even in muddy areas.
Travel and Portability
The pram folds relatively easily, though it does require a bit of practice to get it right, which can be quite frustrating but once you've got the hang of it, it's simple.
The basket underneath is generously sized, but not as big as other prams I have seen on the market.
Safety Features
The chassis feels robust and sturdy, giving me peace of mind while navigating Oxford's uneven pathways. The city centre has a lot of cobbled streets, but the pram manages this very well and doesn’t feel too bumpy; James seems calm even over the bumpiest of streets. The brakes are easy to engage, so the pram stays put when needed which is great if I need to stop somewhere that isn’t flat ground.
Value for Money
While it's not the cheapest pram on the market, it is a worthwhile investment for growing families - especially with the big seat and kid board. It's designed to adapt and last, and I can definitely vouch for that.
You can choose from 20 possible ways to set up your pram if you get all of the accessories - and you can mix and match the parts to find the perfect fit for you and your family.
Final Thoughts
This pram is perfect for our daily routine, making walks with James enjoyable and hassle-free. Despite a few minor quirks, and being more expensive than other prams I've tried, I believe it's worth every penny due to the mix-and-match feature, which will allow us to use the pram even as our family expands.
