Fitting it in your car.
Pick your seat. Each takes about ten minutes, and the Cybex manual in your bag has every detail.
- Click in the ISOFIX arms
Pull out both ISOFIX arms and push them onto the car’s ISOFIX anchors until they click and the indicators show green.
- Push the base back
Push the seat firmly towards the car’s backrest so the base sits flat and tight.
- Set the load leg
Fold out the load leg and extend it until it stands firmly on the floor and its indicator shows green.
- Turn it to the door
Turn the seat towards the open door, put your child in, set the headrest so the harness comes out at shoulder height, and buckle up.
- Tighten and turn back
Pull the harness snug, then turn the seat back until it clicks into the rear-facing position.
For a newborn, keep the newborn inlay in. Never fit the seat rear-facing in front of an active airbag.
Before you drive.
Thirty seconds of checks, every time you buckle up.
- Every indicator on the seat shows green.
- At the base, the seat moves no more than about 2.5 cm side to side.
- The harness is snug: you can’t pinch a fold of strap at the shoulder.
- Coats off before buckling. Put the jacket over the harness instead.
- Never a rear-facing seat in front of an active airbag.
- Booster: lap belt low over the hips, shoulder belt across the middle of the shoulder.
