Cybex e Priam Review: Features  

Seat and canopy  

The reversible toddler seat is fully reclinable and can carry newborns on it.  A 5-point harness is available in the toddler seat and bassinet for the baby’s safety. 

The XXL canopy of the stroller opens in 3 panels and provides full shade to the baby. Moreover, it provides UPF50+ protection from intense sun rays. 

This stroller is compatible with toddler seat, LUX Carry Cot, LITE cot, and infant car seat. A set of car seat adapters is included with the stroller.    

Wheel, brake, and suspension  

The foam-filled rubber tires with an excellent suspension system ensure a smooth ride on most terrains. The 7.5-inch front swivel wheels are lockable and have springs to absorb the shock of the roads. The rear wheels are 12 inches and are connected with an axle. The break on the axle is flip-flop friendly to park the stroller when needed.

Storage basket 

The extra-large storage basket can carry 11 pounds with ease. It has a magnetic closure to expand the storage basket and carry towels, diaper bags, and groceries. You can access the storage basket from the front and back of the stroller.   

E-features   

The e-Priam is the first electronic stroller that includes a battery-powered motor—the motor assists when you go uphill or downhill. The handlebar has built-in sensors that detect the pulling and pushing pressure. Cybex uses an algorithm called “Smart Hill Support” and “Smart Uneven Surface Support” to assist in maneuvering the stroller.

“Smart Hill Support” helps to push the stroller up on high terrain. On the other hand, “Smart Uneven Surface Support” assists in strolling on gravel, rocky or uneven terrain.

Cybex e Priam Review: How the e-Features Work on Cybex e-Priam   

Here is how the smart features work. Charge and install the battery before first use. Charging the battery is the same as charging smartphones and EarPods. Install the charged battery on the axle of the rear wheels to activate the motor. After installing, press the blue button near the left rear wheel to turn on the motor. You can see the blue light, which notifies the battery’s charge level. The battery lasts 8 hours or less depending on terrain, child weight, and basket weight.

When moving uphill, the motor kicks in and assists in going up without pushing harder. Moreover, the motor kicks in to slow speed when going down. One thing to keep in mind is that the motor does not work unless they sense your hand on the handlebar. What Cybex did was attempt to build a functional smart stroller with safety features.

Simone, one of my teammates who has tested the features of e-Priam, found it functional, especially while gliding downhill. The stroller intuitively slowed down, and the sensor worked just fine. In a mall, the motor activates on the plain surface. The motor does not activate on the plain surface; it lowers the speeds and brakes if they remove their hands from the handlebar. On the high ground, exerting some pressure was required to go up.

Cybex e Priam Review: Stroller Insider’s Verdict 

We have come to the end of the Cybex e Priam review. The e-Priam is an innovative, stylish, and luxurious stroller with a motor to give a high-end performance. It runs smoothly with rubber wheels on most terrains, and the one-hand fold mechanism allows you to store it effortlessly. Its motorized stroller has similarities to an automatic lawnmower, but a lawnmower pushes you forward, whereas the motor of e-Priam kicks in when the algorithm detects pressure. Therefore, the motor might not kick in if it does not feel pressure.

Apart from that, remembering to charge the battery can be a hassle. The battery will be drained if you forget to turn off the power button, and you will not get push or pull assistance from the motor at the time of need. To turn off and recharge the battery is usually forgotten by parents and is one of the drawbacks of the stroller.

Moreover, the e-Priam is heavy because of the battery and the motor. It weighs 33 pounds, which can be challenging for moms to pick up and store in the car trunk. Other than this, the Cybex e-Priam stroller is best suited for parents living in elevated or hilly suburbs. Despite the constraints, this is the most functional smart stroller that is available to buy now!
