SensorSafe
SensorSafe technology is one of the key elements that sets Cybex car seats apart from its competitors, as it can alert parents and caregivers to potential issues regular car seats can’t.The technology consists of a chest clip attached to the car seat harness, which contains sensors that monitor the temperature inside the car and the child's movement. This information is transmitted to the SensorSafe app (which you can download on your phone).
The app is available for Apple and Android via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and provides real-time alerts and information about the child's safety. The app also provides guidance on how to correctly install the car seat and use it properly.
You will be notified if:
- Your child unbuckles the harness.
- Your child is exposed to a dangerous temperature.
- Your child is left unattended in the car.
- Your child is stationary for too long.
Comfort Mode
In addition to next-generation safety, the Cloud G Lux is designed with plenty of comfort features too, so you can say goodbye to cranky rides and hello to happy travels!When you arrive at your destination, you can remove the car seat from its base and attach it to any Cybex Stroller (and other brands) to create an instant travel system. The Cloud G Lux also has a full recline position (comfort mode) and an extending leg rest for a comfortable and ergonomic position when used outside of the vehicle.
This reclining seat works with an infant insert to keep little babies ergonomically positioned and fully supported. Once they reach the 11 lbs. mark, the infant insert can be removed so your little one has more space. The Cloud G Lux also comes with an XXL UPF 50+ ventilated canopy to keep baby’s young skin protected while still encouraging airflow. Additionally, a 12-position adjustable headrest provides safety and comfort as your baby grows and in-shell ventilation ensures the seat doesn’t get too warm.
Making Connections
Get ready to experience hassle-free car seat installation! The Cloud G Lux is super easy to set up and just as easy to get your child in (and out of) their seat:ONE-CLICK RIGID LATCH INSTALL:
Connect the base to the vehicle’s lower anchors for a quick, simple, and safe installation in mere seconds. No more struggling with a complicated installation process!
EUROPEAN BELT PATH:
For those times when you don't have a base to use (ie. in an Uber or a friend’s car), you can still secure the seat using the European belt path on its shell.
FAA COMPLIANT:
The Cybex Cloud G Lux is FAA-compliant, so you can bring it on airplanes to ensure your baby has a safe and comfortable flight.
EASY-IN BUCKLE PAD:
Say goodbye to awkward harnessing moments! The Easy-In Buckle Pad keeps the harness buckle in a forward position for easy loading and harnessing. No more contorting your body and struggling to buckle them up!
