In the world of minimalist travel with children, the Cybex Libelle travel buggy* is a real game-changer. With its sleek design and surprisingly small pack size, the buggy immediately piqued our curiosity. Let’s take a look at the features that make it an ideal companion for families who like to be on the go.
First impression
Assembly and handling
The buggy can be quickly and effortlessly unfolded and folded with two hands. One-handed operation is unfortunately not possible if you are holding your child.
The handy format makes it a perfect travel companion for airplanes, trains or cars. It is particularly convincing on level surfaces with its ease of pushing. It reaches its limits in rough terrain, but it is ideal for city trips.
Comfort and safety
According to the manufacturer, the Cybex Libelle travel buggy can be used from 6 months to 4 years.
Since the children travel facing forward and therefore have no contact with the pushing adult, we think that children should only use the travel buggy from the age of one year.
From birth, the buggy can also be used as a travel system with a baby car seat using adapters.
The buggy can be equipped with an additional bar, which and the smooth-running belts increase the comfort and safety of your child.
Travel suitability
The real strength of the Cybex Libelle travel buggy* lies in its suitability for travel. Its small folding size of 48 x 32 x 20 cm and its weight of 6 kg allow it to be taken on the plane as hand luggage, which is an immense advantage for us, especially when traveling.
The buggy is also ideal for train journeys or a small trunk.
We use the buggy not only as a stroller or sleeping accommodation on vacation, but sometimes also as a transport trolley at the airport.
Suitability for everyday use
The Cybex Libelle travel buggy also scores points in everyday use thanks to its practicality. The integrated basket is suitable for small purchases or the child’s toys.
The buggy is our faithful companion in the city. However, if you are constantly traveling on gravel or forest paths, the compact travel buggy will reach its limits.
Cleaning and maintenance
The washable cover of the buggy is a blessing for us as parents. Whether it’s food scraps or dirt from the last adventure, you can simply wash the seat in the washing machine.
Unfortunately, the sun canopy is not removable, which is a minus point for us.
Accessories
You can buy practical accessories such as a rain cover* and a play bar for the Cybex Libelle travel buggy. There is also an optionally available transport bag that offers additional protection when traveling. A bag can also prevent your stroller from accidentally opening.
Price-performance ratio
At around 200 euros, the Cybex Libelle travel buggy* is in the mid-price segment.
We think that the longevity and the high load limit of up to 22 kg justify this price, as you can probably use it for about 3-4 years.
Conclusion
The Cybex Libelle travel buggy* is a solid travel companion that is particularly suitable for families who enjoy traveling and city dwellers.
This buggy is an excellent choice, especially for air travel, train journeys and car journeys. With its long service life and the high maximum weight of the child, we are happy to recommend the Cybex Libelle and see it as a sustainable investment for mobile families.
