Cybex Mios, An Impartial Review: Mechanics, Comfort, Use

In order to keep our recommendations up to date, we maintain a 'Buyer's Guide' (with a wide spectrum of models, and a lot of technical and lifestyle-related information). Organizing our recommendations this way makes it easier to include good models that we haven't made review-videos for yet, as well as to remove models which have developed unforeseen wear-issues over time, or which have been weakened by the manufacturer in their current iterations. You can access the guide (in addition to our 4-part video series on Choosing the Right Stroller for your Lifestyle, and other helpful content) on Patreon: / stroller-buyers-37953864
These materials are also available via channel membership on KZbin: / @barnevognverkstedno , and BuyMeaCoffee: buymeacoffee.com/thestrollerw...
In this video we take a close look at the Cybex Mios, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of its design in relation to comfort, functionality, engineering, longevity and optimal use.

I LOVE your sarcasm about the mesh seat! 😂 Thank you so much for that in depth review! You never cease to fail!

[@kringlekeep4821]

Being in Australia I love the mesh back as it does get hot here

[@SharanRamesh]

Would you please review the cybex melio or the melio carbon ? How would you compare this melio range to the babyzen yoyo?

[@kateydid11]

Sooo we live in Chicago & it gets hot & humid! The mesh is amazing in the summer after play in splash pads & sand boxes!

[@sumairadaud]

oh btw still waiting for the City Elite 2 Review!! Cant wait!!😂🤞🏻

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

It's coming :)

[@mkabs19]

I got my mios 1 Ferrari special edition on sale about 10 months ago when my son was 16 months old and very needy and I needed a smaller stroller than my uppababy vista still with a reversible seat. I got it because of your review. And because I got such a good deal on it and it came with the seat back cushion. It also came with the maxi cosi car seat adapters that would have worked with my nuna pipa which would have been nice to use.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Right on. :) hope it's working out well for you.

[@mkabs19]

@@BarnevognverkstedNo it’s a great second stroller for running in and out of small stores so my wild child doesn’t run away. It’s also beautiful.. I guess I’m that posh person you talk about in your videos 😆

[@Randomnessforlife]

Would you recommend mios more than nuna triv?

[@antoniabarbosadesouzacastr8868]

Hi! How can I differentiate mios (2017) from mios 2 (2019)? Thank you very much!

[@giorginarosehooley1544]

Thank you for the review! We’ve been looking at the SilverCross Spirit. It looks similar to the Mios and also has the mesh back. Do you have any info on the Spirit please? Thanks in advance :)

[@fdnogueira]

Great review and full of helpful information. What would you consider to be the best alternatives to the Mios? The only thing that worries me, is the footrest width issue, when the baby grows. But the one handed fold and compact folded size is enticing, especially because the wife drives a Fiesta which doesn't have that big of a boot. Thanks!

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

The Joolz Hub. The Mios is cool, but the Hub blows it out of the water for a reversible small-size daily model. Check out our review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5rahGudfa18n8k

[@jaeda88]

@@BarnevognverkstedNo Do Cybex Q or Z car seats fit on the Joolz hub? Thanks

[@michellewattana8330]

Would you ever review the Cybex Melio/Carbon? I know your thoughts on the company generally, and I think it's in the Gold class, but it seems to be not only more affordable but more practical as well - with the bigger basket and perhaps less of an issue with the footrest? Very curious to know your opinion on it. I live in a very well-paved desert city, so the lightweight mesh option (with larger basket) is very appealing to me. Thank you!

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

I will cover it in the future, but I'm taking a break from Cybex (and all the other Good Baby International Ltd clones) for a little while right now. Their whole business model is a bit shady, imo. I'm currently writing an article about this, that will be available on patreon within a day or 2. That being said, I do actually like the Mios for your conditions. :)

[@michellewattana8330]

@@BarnevognverkstedNo Thank you for your reliable opinions...your channel is literally a treasure. Seriously, thank you for everything!

[@mauriciovazquez443]

By any chance do you know how to repair the folding mechanism when it gets stuck? We are unlucky enough to have this problem twice and we are reluctant to buy a third chassis and we only use occasionally in London.

[@shayabrk7285]

Hey We have the same problem here! so annoying....did you find a solution ?

[@michaelconti2708]

Hi, sorry for posting on an old post but we have the same problem! Has anyone managed to fix this?

[@MissyLeanham]

Love your vids and bought a bugaboo buffalo because of your (logical) recommendation. Did you ever get your hands on the brand "Hartan" from Germany? Super ugly strollers, but I think you would love them.

[@sumairadaud]

they are ugly! lol...I'm from Germany and see them here often. I would only trust his opinion on them as he gets down to the engineering instead of just looking at the looks. Wonder what he thinks of them...

[@MissyLeanham]

@@sumairadaud yes mee too. hartans do have crazy suspension. i know a lot of moms who use one hating the look just for the sake of their newborns :) i had one too until my baby got bigger

[@user-fy7rr3qh2q]

could you please show how to maintenance mios? It's a bit hard for me to fold down mine, I think some lubricant is needed, but don't know which area/part should be sprayed. Thank you very much.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

It depends a little bit on where it feels like it's jamming up. But if you're not sure, then I'd start out with WD40, and aim it at the cracks everywhere where it could run down inside and hit the folding components. If it's a lubrication problem, this should fix it. If not, contact Cybex - it's very important to hold mega-corporations like GB International responsible for their products, for the health of the globe :)

[@user-fy7rr3qh2q]

@@BarnevognverkstedNo thank you for your reply, I sprayed some silicone lubricant and it works again 🤗🤗🤗

[@michelleaguirre1135]

Great review!! Is it ok to put a buggy board on this?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

I don't personally recommend buggy boards, as they put too much pressure on the rear frame (of all strollers), and cause them to wear down a lot faster. That being said, Cybex (and most manufacturers) disagree, and sell one that fits the Mios. :)

[@dianaantunes86]

What would you choose for a city with a bad pavement like Lisbon? I like mios but Balios S seemed more stable on portuguese sidewalk. I thought of priam because of that but it is very heavy and a little overpriced. Thanks

[@scezzi]

I have recently seen someone pushing the mios in the old part of our city with lots of cobble stone. I think it went even smoother than my all day all terrain stroller!! Quite shocked to be honest.

[@GreatmusicPT]

Hello! Could you review the new Cybex Eezy S Twist Plus please?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

We might get to it eventually, but other than slightly larger wheels, it should be the same as the regular Twist. Review here :) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIu9ZZ-ihJ1-ncU

Hi there, I was wondering if you could help me out. I have a cybex mios 3 and the front wheel has a lot of hair wrapped around inside of the wheel. I was wondering if there is a way to take the wheel apart to clean it out.

Can you Open the foulding system on cybex mios?

[@Rahul-oy4bp]

Can Cybex Mios be taken onboard easyjet ?

[@shannonchen3376]

Wonder how you would choose between mios vs uppababy minu? Thx

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Mios (if price isn't a factor). But it's not quite fair, since it's a small-size daily model and the Minu is only an ultra-compact (so it has less size and weight to play with). Among ultracompacts, the Minu is the most robust, among small-size daily models, the Joolz Hub and the Emmaljunga NXT 30 / 60 are the most robust. But I have to admit, I do like the Mios - the lower portion of the chassis, in particular, is quite clever :)

[@shannonchen3376]

@@BarnevognverkstedNo Thank you!! I thought you usually is not a fan of Cybex products! Mios impressed you!! I really l like the Joolz's product as well.... I am wondering if joolz hub is a bit too heavy... their joolz aer is new. Hope you will do a review of it soon! :)

[@bibow5458]

Is mios better than Uppababy minu in terms of sturdiness and terrain capabilities? Thank you!

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

No. :)

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Hi everybody, There's been a lot of talk lately about 'Greenwashing,' which is the process by which businesses promote their products as 'sustainable', 'eco-friendly' and so on, while in actual fact, their manufacturing processes and business models clearly show this to be nothing more than a marketing ploy. As soon as I heard about this concept (and even that several major companies have been penalized for it), I realized that this practice really defines the approach of virtually every major manufacturer in the stroller industry. If you'd be interested in reading more about this, please check out our article: 'Rampant Greenwashing in the Stroller Industry,' here: www.patreon.com/posts/rampant-in-38755846
