I wasn’t planning to review the Cybex Eezy S Twist+2 in Myrtle Park. I was in Bingley for the summer music — the outdoor concerts they hold around the arts centre and the market square — with my daughter K and the grandkids, when I spotted a grandma and grandad with their little granddaughter in one. When I explained about MyPushchair, they lit up. They showed me the 360° seat rotation with almost theatrical enthusiasm, and we ended up chatting for a good while — about the pushchair, about grandchildren, about the particular joy of being able to spoil them rotten and then hand them back to mum and dad at the end of the day. Their granddaughter was a similar age to my grandson and absolutely full of beans, exactly like him. It’s that kind of real-world encounter — two sets of grandparents, two full-of-beans toddlers, one very good pushchair — that no amount of showroom testing quite replaces.

MyPushchair scorecard

Seat rotation	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10
All-terrain capability	⭐⭐⭐⭐ 8/10
Fold	⭐⭐⭐⭐ 8/10
Weight	⭐⭐⭐ 6/10 (honest trade-off for the rotating mechanism)
Manoeuvrability	⭐⭐⭐⭐ 8/10 (steers lighter than the weight suggests)
Value	⭐⭐⭐⭐ 7/10 (strong at its price; Dragonfly justifies the extra if budget allows)
Overall	⭐⭐⭐⭐ 8/10

Overall score: 8/10. The Eezy S Twist+2 scores well because it delivers its core promise with real engineering quality: a rotating seat that works exactly as described, genuine all-terrain capability, and handling that feels better than the weight spec implies. The marks it loses are honest: 8.6kg is a real trade-off against lighter rivals, and value sits just below the top tier because the Bugaboo Dragonfly — at a higher price — is a premium-built pushchair that will pay for itself over time if budget allows.

The Myrtle Park encounter — why the seat rotation is the real selling point

The grandparents I met in Myrtle Park didn’t need much persuading to show me the twist. When I explained I was there specifically to understand the rotating seat in real use, one of them immediately reclined the seat, lifted the leg rest, and rotated it through 360° in a single smooth movement — while their granddaughter stayed put throughout. It took about three seconds. No fuss, no effort, no drama.

That confirmed what I’d found in the shop: the mechanism works exactly as Cybex describe it. You recline the seat slightly, lift the leg rest, and turn it one-handed, keeping an eye on your baby’s feet as you go. No seat removal, no lifting your child out, no awkward reassembly. Just a smooth, positive twist and you’re done.

It’s also worth being clear about why the rotation matters in practice, not just how it works. If your baby falls asleep facing you and later wants to see the world — or the other way round — being able to switch without disturbing them is genuinely useful. It’s one of those features that sounds like a specification point until you actually have it, at which point it becomes part of how you use the pushchair every day.

This isn’t a gimmick that’s easy to copy badly, either. Other brands have tried rotating seat mechanisms and struggled to make them reliable. Cybex’s version, now in its second generation, has clearly had the engineering issues resolved.

How does it perform around town?

This is fundamentally a city and mixed-use pushchair, and it earns that description. On smooth pavements it steers easily one-handed — lighter than the weight suggests, which I noticed both in the showroom and confirmed in Myrtle Park. On kerbs it lifts cleanly without the tip-and-haul effort of heavier full-size pushchairs. In shopping centres and supermarket aisles it manoeuvres without requiring a three-point turn, which matters more than most people expect until they’re doing it with a full shopping basket on one arm.

Café doorways — the traditional nemesis of the wider pushchair — aren’t an issue. The chassis is compact enough to navigate most UK high street situations without drama. The all-terrain wheels also mean that stepping off pavement onto a cobbled market square or a slightly uneven park path doesn’t require a change of plan.

Where it isn’t the right tool: if you’re regularly walking across muddy country footpaths, uneven woodland trails or onto beaches, I’d look at something with more aggressive suspension and larger wheels — an all-terrain pushchair is a different class of machine. The Eezy S Twist+2 handles light off-road comfortably. It’s not built for rough countryside and doesn’t pretend to be.

Is the Cybex Eezy S Twist+2 good for flying?

Cybex markets the Eezy S Twist+2 as suitable for many aircraft overhead lockers, and the folded dimensions — 68 × 47.5 × 30.5cm — do put it in the conversation. But this is genuinely a contested point. Airline cabin baggage policies vary enormously between carriers, and what fits one overhead locker doesn’t necessarily fit another. I’d treat “cabin-friendly” as “worth checking” rather than a guarantee, and always confirm with your specific airline before travelling.

At 8.6kg it’s also worth thinking about gate-checking logistics. It’s not a featherweight in the way the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 feels when you’re lifting it into an overhead locker — the rotating mechanism adds engineering that adds weight. If frequent flying is a core use case, the Butterfly 2 or YOYO³ are built more specifically around that need. For occasional family holidays where you want one pushchair that does everything on the ground as well, the Eezy S Twist+2 is a reasonable compromise. Our pushchairs for flying guide has the fuller breakdown.

All-terrain capability — and the honest weight trade-off

The Eezy S Twist+2 has genuine all-terrain wheels and four-wheel suspension, which puts it ahead of pure city-only compacts. Independent reviewers have tested it on countryside walks in Lincolnshire — pavement, grassy footpaths, light mud, down onto beach — and found it coped well throughout, needing only a single-handed lift to get down onto sand. A separate tester took it to Somerset farms, play parks and shops with much the same result.

That capability comes with a real trade-off: 8.6kg is noticeably heavier than the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 (around 7.3kg) and significantly heavier than the Stokke YOYO³ (6.2kg). It feels lighter than a Bugaboo Fox 5 or Silver Cross Reef 2, but it’s not featherweight in the way the Butterfly 2 feels when you’re carrying it. If you’re lifting it in and out of a car boot multiple times a day, that difference is worth factoring in honestly.

The rotating mechanism also means more moving parts than a conventional stroller. Nothing about it felt flimsy in testing — it’s clearly well-engineered — but it’s another reason this isn’t as minimalist as the lightest travel buggies. The chassis has more going on, by design.

How it folds and how it steers

The fold is one-handed and the pushchair stands unsupported once folded — two things that matter in practice and that the Eezy S Twist+2 delivers without drama. It’s not in the same class as the Bugaboo Butterfly 2’s near-instant one-second fold, but it’s a genuinely good fold for a pushchair of this complexity.

The steering was the thing that surprised me most. I expected 8.6kg to feel like 8.6kg. It didn’t — easy to steer one-handed around the showroom and confirmed in Myrtle Park. Whether that’s weight distribution, wheel geometry or simply thoughtful engineering, it’s worth knowing before you rule it out on paper.

Verdict

The Cybex Eezy S Twist+2 is a genuinely capable, well-engineered pushchair that earns its reputation through the quality of its headline feature rather than marketing. The rotating seat works exactly as described — confirmed twice, in a showroom and on a real family outing in Bingley. The all-terrain wheels add genuine versatility. And it steers lighter than its weight spec suggests, which matters more in day-to-day use than it sounds on paper.

The honest caveats are real: 8.6kg is heavier than its closest rivals, and it isn’t the most compact option if boot space or cabin luggage is a hard constraint. Know that going in and it’s unlikely to disappoint you.

Bottom line: the Eezy S Twist+2 isn’t the lightest compact pushchair and it isn’t designed for rough countryside walks — but its rotating seat remains one of the smartest ideas in the compact pushchair market, and the second-generation engineering means it actually delivers on the promise. If you spend most of your time navigating towns, parks and family days out, and want the flexibility of parent-facing and forward-facing without lifting your child out, this is the pushchair built specifically for that. It’s hard to argue with.

Cybex Eezy S Twist+2 vs Bugaboo Dragonfly — which should I choose?

Frequently asked questions

Can the Cybex Eezy S Twist+2 be parent-facing?

Yes — that’s the whole point of the design. The seat rotates 360°, so you can switch between parent-facing and forward-facing whenever you like, including with your baby still seated.

Can you rotate the seat with the baby still in it?

Yes — that’s the standout feature. Recline the seat slightly, lift the leg rest, and rotate it 360° with one hand, keeping an eye on your baby’s feet as it turns. No need to remove the seat unit or lift your child out first.

Is the Cybex Eezy S Twist+2 heavier than other compact pushchairs?

Yes, somewhat. At 8.6kg it’s heavier than both the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 (around 7.3kg) and the Stokke YOYO³ (6.2kg). That’s the honest trade-off for the rotating seat mechanism and all-terrain wheels — the engineering has to go somewhere.

Is the Cybex Eezy S Twist+2 cabin-approved for flights?

Cybex markets it as suitable for many aircraft overhead lockers, but airline policies vary enormously. Always check with your specific airline before relying on it. Our pushchairs for flying guide has a fuller breakdown of what to check.

Can the Cybex Eezy S Twist+2 be used from birth?

Yes, in a couple of ways: with a compatible Cybex infant car seat, or with the Cot S carrycot designed for this line. The seat unit itself is suitable once your child meets the manufacturer’s age and weight requirements, typically from around 6 months.

Is the Cybex Eezy S Twist+2 good for rough ground?

Yes for parks, paths and light off-road — it has genuine all-terrain wheels and four-wheel suspension. Independent testers have used it on countryside paths, farm tracks and down onto beaches. It’s not a full off-road pushchair, and if rough countryside walking is your main activity, an all-terrain model is the right tool. See our all-terrain pushchair guide for alternatives.

Cybex Eezy S Twist+2 vs Bugaboo Dragonfly — which is better?

They’re built around different strengths. The Dragonfly is a premium-built pushchair that justifies its higher price over time — if budget allows, go for it. The Eezy S Twist+2 offers something the Dragonfly doesn’t: a rotating seat that lets you switch parent-facing and forward-facing without lifting your child out. If that feature matters to you, the Cybex is the one built specifically around it.
