Cybex Balios S Lux
The Balios S Lux is Cybex's mid-priced all-rounder, usable from birth with a lie-flat reversible seat and able to take a carrycot or car seat. It pushes smoothly on mixed surfaces thanks to puncture-proof wheels and suspension. The fold is a bit awkward at first and it is fairly wide.

Folded, the Cybex Balios S Lux measures 45 x 60 x 78cm, about 209 litres, in one piece, and it stands up on its own. That's roughly 4.8 times the size of a 55 x 40 x 20cm cabin bag.
Is the Cybex Balios S Lux suitable from birth?
Yes. Add the carrycot (sold separately) for a newborn. The seat takes children up to 22kg.

Not as cabin baggage: its fold is bigger than most airline cabin-bag sizers. Most airlines will take it at the gate or in the hold instead.
