CYBEX Gold Children's rotating Car Seat Sirona S2 i-Size, From Approx. 61cm to 105cm (approx. 3 months to 4 years) Max.18 kg, ISOFIX and SensorSafe compatible, Navy Blue

Product Information

The Sirona Z cannot be used without a car seat base, unlike the Cloud Z car seat which can be fitted with a seat belt (although this means it’s not i-size compliant). The Cybex Cloud Z2 i-Size car seat comes under the new R129 i-size regulation meaning it follows the safest standard for new car seats. It has an optimised Linear Side-impact Protection (L.S.P) system, which significantly increases your child’s safety in a side-impact collision. It's then up to you to decide the travelling position of the car seat. As these are i-Size tested car seats, it is to be used rear-facing for a minimum of 15 months and 76cm tall. After this point, it can be used forward facing, but we would recommend rear-facing for as long as possible. It's great that you can use rear-facing for the entire time if you want the safest position. Your only other job is to extend the support leg until it touches the footwell and the green indicator at the front of the base turns to green. Just take care not to overextend the leg and cause the base to lift from the seat of the car. That's it! What makes the Cybex Z base even more appealing is it can be used until your child reaches 105cm tall, regardless of which way you use the seats. SensorSafe

Having the spin feature means that you can move from rear to forward facing easily too. On the previous model, there was Driving Direction Control which prevented misuse of the seat and forward facing too soon. Cybex have now passed this over to the parent to decide when to forward face, within the regulation advice. As lots of parents don't read instructions carefully, this could mean that they forward face sooner than advised. There is a red line on the car seats though that is a visual reminder that once the head rest reaches this mark, it should be around the height that the child can face forward.Choosing your baby’s first car seat can feel quite daunting. There’s so much information to take in and absorb and, because your little one’s safety is your number one priority, you want to feel confident you’re making the right choice. Similarly to Cloud Z, the Cybex Sirona Z2 comes under the R129 i-Size regulation, so is also tested to the latest standards and features the Linear Side-impact Protection System.

Lie-flat seats - Research shows that it’s healthiest for newborn babies to lie flat for the majority of the time when they’re sleeping or lying still for periods. The CYBEX Cloud Z i-Size features an ergonomic lie-flat position outside of the car. As safety features are obviously the most important feature of any car seat, these car seats have plenty. A difference in the two seats is that the SX2 has Advanced Linear Side-impact Protection that needs popping out on the car door side. In combination with the energy-absorbing shell, it can reduce the force of a side impact collision by 25%! The energy-absorbing shell is designed to flex with an impact and channel the forces away from baby too.The R129 standard, known as i-Size, is the most recent and was introduced to make travel for babies and children safer than the ECE R44 standard. R129 and R44 run side by side, so parents can choose whether to buy and use child car seats that meets either standards.
