CYBEX Car Seats in Australia

Why CYBEX Seats Sold Here Differ From Overseas Models

CYBEX is a German brand known for combining child safety with thoughtful design, and is backed by Goodbaby International.

When shopping online, you might come across CYBEX capsules sold in the UK or Europe that look similar to the Australian version. The CYBEX car seat approved for use in Australia is the Cloud Q, which meets Australian Standard AS/NZS 1754.

The RACV explains that child restraints sold in Australia must meet this standard and display an approval sticker. The Cloud Q scored highly for protection in RACV’s capsule testing, noting its suitability from birth to around 12 months.

If you’re considering a CYBEX car seat, make sure the model meets Australian requirements before making your choice.

The Cybex Cloud Q Capsule for Newborns

The CYBEX Cloud Q car seat is designed for newborns through to around 12 months, or 13 kg. Its features are designed to support everyday use, from travelling home with your newborn to transferring your baby from the car to a compatible pram.

• Near-flat recline - Outside the car, the capsule reclines to a near-flat position, giving your baby a more ergonomic position.
• Newborn inlay - The removable inlay provides a closer fit for premature and very small babies.
• Side-impact protection - The L.S.P. System helps direct impact forces into the capsule shell, adding another layer of protection for your baby.
• Adjustable headrest - 11 height settings help you adjust the headrest and integrated harness guides as your baby grows.
• UPF 50+ canopy - The retractable canopy helps shield your bub from the sun, providing added coverage on brighter days.
• Pram compatibility - The capsule is travel-system ready with compatible CYBEX and other brand prams.

Good to know:

• The Cloud Q weighs 5.9 kg, and the included base weighs 4.4 kg.
• What’s included: The capsule, base and tether strap.
• If you regularly switch between two cars, a spare compatible base can be useful so you don’t have to reinstall the base each time. Check availability and compatibility before purchasing a spare.

Clicking the CYBEX Cloud Q Onto Your Pram

For trips where you’d prefer not to remove your baby from the capsule, the Cloud Q can click onto compatible CYBEX prams, so you can transfer your baby from car to pram without taking them out of the capsule.

• e-Priam - Capsule adapters are included, so you can attach the Cloud Q straight to the pram.
• Gazelle S - You’ll need the Gazelle S Capsule Adapter Set, sold separately.
• Libelle - The Cloud Q is compatible using the Libelle/Orfeo Capsule Adapter Set, sold separately.

Cloud Q Accessories

If you regularly use two cars, a spare Cloud Q Base means you can keep a base installed in each vehicle. The Q Anchor and Q Tether Adjuster are also available separately. Check compatibility with your specific capsule before purchasing any accessories.

What Comes After the Capsule?

The Cloud Q is designed for babies up to around 13 kg, or roughly 12 months, but every baby grows at their own pace. Keep an eye on the capsule’s height and weight limits, and check the manufacturer’s guidance to determine when your baby is ready for the next stage.

• Newborn stage - A rear-facing baby capsule or newborn car seat offers a convenient way to transfer your bub between the car and pram.
• As your baby grows - Once your little passenger outgrows the capsule, a convertible car seat can keep them rear-facing before transitioning to forward-facing when they meet the seat’s requirements.
• Later on - When your child outgrows their forward-facing seat, a booster helps position the vehicle’s seatbelt correctly.
