Cybex e-Gazelle S Electronic Assist Stroller - Electric Smart Assist

Our review of the Cybex e-Gazelle S finds it best suited for parents who need a versatile, powered stroller to handle hills, long walks and growing families. The single biggest reason to consider this model is its integrated electric Smart Assist that provides forward power and downhill brake assistance via a handlebar lever, removing the need to rely on a phone app. Built to convert from a single to a double and to carry everyday essentials, it combines thoughtful mechanical design with features meant to reduce fatigue on longer outings.

Key Features

• Smart Assist Mode: Delivers on-demand electric power for uphill pushes and controlled downhill descents, reducing strain for the person pushing.
• Single to Double Conversion: Converts to a double stroller without extra adapters, so parents can expand seating when a second child arrives.
• 20+ Configurations: Accepts an additional Gazelle S Seat, Cot, or any Cybex infant car seat to adapt to naps, newborn needs, or sibling layouts.
• Rocking Feature: Offers three gentle rocking settings to soothe a child after a busy day or during transitions to sleep.
• Spacious Storage: A shopping basket and lower basket together hold up to 55 lbs of essentials, keeping necessities close on outings.

Who It's For

The e-Gazelle S is aimed at active caregivers who walk on mixed terrain, commute with a stroller, or live in hilly neighborhoods and want electric assistance to conserve energy. It is also ideal for families who expect to expand from one child to two and need a frame that adapts without additional adapters.

Those who prefer the lightest possible frame or who will never need power assist may look elsewhere; while the e-Gazelle S is versatile and feature rich, its electric components and multiple configurations add weight and complexity compared with the simplest lightweight strollers.

Cons
