Mum of 3 Christy agrees, adding, “Once we’ve got the older children strapped in, it’s so nice to be able to quickly click my newborn’s Cloud seat into the base. It feels more secure, and is quick and easy – much less faffing around when you’re running late and trying to get the family into the car! I would definitely choose to use the car seat with the ISOFIX base rather than belt. For added reassurance, there’s a noise sensor to alert you if the base isn’t sitting correctly. In common with 80% of parents we surveyed*, I found the seat straightforward to install. The car seat can be belted into the car quite easily or you can use it with the Cybex Base Z to install it with ISOFIX fixings (which you need in order to fully comply with i-Size standards). I felt really confident bringing our son home from hospital in the Cloud and his frequent naps suggest he finds it comfy.” How do you install the Cybex Cloud Z i-Size car seat in the car? She says, “It’s a great seat for newborns, with thick padding, a newborn insert and the option to make it flatter outside the car so there’s less worry about keeping them in it for too long. Reviewer Christy tested the seat with her son from birth. While at the end of Cybex’s suggested age range, the rear-facing seat is a little snug but does fit him. My son is 17 months but not yet 13kg, so a great test of Cybex’s claim of 18 months. Interestingly, Cybex states 13kg is equivalent to around 18 months, whereas most manufacturers (and MadeForMums) use the more common comparison of 12-15 months. The Cloud Z i-Size is suitable from birth to 13kg. Given that the two car seats boast a similar price tag I’d personally choose the Cloud Z i-Size. The Cloud Z is also 15% lighter than the Cloud Q. i-Size regulations require a higher level of side-impact protection and the Cloud Z features what Cybex calls Linear Side-impact Protection (LSP). The Cloud Z i-Size differs from the popular Cybex Cloud Q in that it is i-Size compatible when used with the base. How is the Cybex Cloud Z i-Size car seat different to the Cloud Q? This means, if you stay with Cybex car seats, you can use 1 base from newborn to 4 years – and the £184.95 starts to look like good value. It’s another big cost but is part of what Cybex call its Z-line modular system – which means it can be used with the next stage up Cybex car seat – the Sirona Z i-Size (birth to approx 4 years). The compatible base is the Cybex Base Z, a rotating base that has an RRP of £184.95. However, it’s not as convenient as using the base.” You just feed the 3-point belt around the seat, making sure it hooks into certain points, and clip the belt in as usual. If you’re set on using an ISOFIX base, then it’s reassuring to know that the Cloud Z can still be used safely in an alternative car, such as grandparents’, without needing to use the base.įellow reviewer Christy says, “We found it really easy to install when we borrowed my father-in-law’s VW Golf, which doesn’t have ISOFIX. However, you still get the additional side-impact protection and the car seat still exceeds current safety requirements. You don’t have to buy the base – the Cloud Z can be installed using your car’s seatbelt, but this then means it’s no longer classified as i-Size (as i-Size requires ISOFIX fitting). Height adjustable load leg enhances stability.Do you need to buy a base to use the Cybex Cloud Z? The driving direction control feature prevents misuse in forward-facing use before the child is at least 16 months old and 76 cm tall. Infant car seat can be easily snapped into the base and used without having to additionally secure it with the car seat belt The Driving Direction Control (DDC) Visual and acoustic indicators confirm that it has been installed correctly. Base Z is installed in the car with the ISOFIX connectors and Z-Line modular system: compatible with Cloud Z and Sirona Z Safety Features Innovative 360° rotating mechanism provides a comfortable entry and exit position with less strain on parent´s backs. The CYBEX Platinum Modular System is quickly installed with a simple click. It accommodates two different car seats and so can be used by children up to 4 years of age. The Base Z is a particularly long-lasting solution. The unique, innovative rotation mechanism of the Base Z allows the car seat to be swivelled to the side of the car door for easier entry and exit. The Base Z is the secure and variable base unit for the new CYBEX Z-Line Modular System, which offers maximum protection as well as comfortable, flexible use. ![]() Design, safety and functionality are at the heart of innovation at CYBEX.
