Cybex Priam 3 is a customizable, fashionable, and comfortable use stroller for babies. It boasts a premium frame, comfortable seat, excellent suspension system, reversible and reclinable seat, huge canopy, and ample storage basket. Moreover, it is maneuverable on the beach and glides easily through stairs in two-wheel mode. The only downsides are that the stroller is on the heavy side, and the price range is slightly higher.   

To our opinion, this stroller is best suited for city terrains and occasional trips and travel outside the city. If you want a smart stroller to control with uphill and downhill steering, opt for the Cybex e-Priam.
