Cybex Libelle vs Cybex Coya

The Libelle is the only one of this pair that clears the carry-on box, folding to 18.9 x 12.6 x 7.8 inches; the Coya is 3.1 inches over. It also costs half as much, $350 against $700, and weighs 0.9 lb less. The Coya's extra money buys a one-hand fold and a carry cot option for a newborn. Both seat units start at 6 months, and they share adapters, an 11 lb basket and a 55 lb limit. The Libelle is the better travel stroller for less.

Folded, the Cybex Libelle makes a 1.07 cu ft box to the Cybex Coya's 1.82 cu ft. The Cybex Libelle is 0.9 lb lighter by its maker's figure (13.7 lb to 14.6 lb). At the makers' own prices the Cybex Libelle is about $350 less.
