Step-by-Step Guide: Installing a Cybex Car Seat
Cybex offers various models such as the Aton S2 i-size, Solutoin B3 i-fix, Sirona GI i-size, and Pallas G i-size series. While features may vary slightly, the installation principles remain largely the same. Always refer to your model’s manual for exact details.
1. Choose the Right Installation Method
Cybex seats can usually be installed using:
ISOFIX base
Vehicle seat belt
We recommend using an ISOFIX base for optimal stability and ease (available with most Cybex infant and toddler seats).
2. Position the Base or Seat Correctly
- Place the base or car seat rear-facing for infants (mandatory until at least 15 months).
- Ensure the vehicle seat is flat and clear of obstructions.
- Push the base firmly against the seat back.
3. ISOFIX Installation (If Using a Base)
1. Locate your car’s ISOFIX anchor points between the seat cushions.
2. Extend the ISOFIX connectors from the base.
3. Click each connector into place—you should hear a “click” when locked.
4. Check for green indicators on the connectors (red means not secured)
5. Adjust the load leg (support leg) to reach the vehicle floor without lifting the base.
6. Attach the car seat onto the base until it clicks.
✅ Check: All indicators should show green before proceeding.
4. Seat Belt Installation (If ISOFIX is Not Available)
1. Place the car seat on the vehicle seat.
2.Thread the vehicle seat belt through the correct belt paths
(usually marked in blue or red).
3.Buckle the seatbelt and pull tightly to remove slack.
4. Ensure the belt is locked and secured around the shell of the car seat.
5. Check the Angle and Fit
- Most Cybex models include a recline indicator to help position the seat at a safe angle.
- Make sure the seat doesn’t move more than 1 inch side-to-side or front-to-back once installed.
6. Secure Your Child Properly
- Adjust the harness height to match your baby’s shoulders.
- Ensure the chest clip is at armpit level.
- Straps should be snug but not tight—you shouldn’t be able to pinch any slack.
Important Tips and Precautions
- Never install a rear-facing seat in front of an active airbag.
- Regularly check for loose parts or damaged straps.
- Only use official Cybex accessories or bases for compatibility.
- Avoid bulky jackets or blankets when strapping in your child.
- Register your Cybex seat to receive safety alerts or recalls.
