Is Cybex's motorised pram worth its £1,000 price tag?
Pushing kids around in a buggy is exhausting. It can be incredibly energy-sapping when you're already sleep-deprived, and it gets a little harder every day as your kids grow heavier.
That's why motorised prams are becoming so popular. Motorised prams - also known as e-prams - use an electric motor to help you tackle steep streets and uneven pathways.
The award-winning Cybex e-gazelle S is the brand's latest e-pram. On top of the usual claims that it can tackle mountainous streets, crack-riddled tarmac and root-rigged woodlands, Cybex says it can carry two children from birth up to four years old. It also boasts a rocking feature, which moves the pram back and forth to lull your baby to sleep.
I tested this pram for more than six months to put these claims to the test. Is it really worth £1,000? It's certainly not without its teething problems.
How I tested
I've been using this pram for more than six months to see how well it copes with parents' everyday needs. I assessed everything from its battery life to its design and ease of use to see whether it's worth splurging on this motorised model.
