WHAT ARE THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE cybex Solution S2 i-Fix?

The Solution S2 i-Fix is built with an energy- absorbing shell which works to absorb the forces of an impact and therefore provides excellent protection to the child. Additionally, the Solution S2 i-Fix contains Linear Side-impact protection system which enhances the safety and protection during a side collision. The linear side impact protection system must be extended on the side closest to the vehicle’s door and this has been proven to reduce the impact of a side collision by approximately 25% compared to seats without the linear side impact protection system in place. 

The Solution S2 i-Fix has a one of a kind reclining headrest independent of the backrest’s recline ability. The reclining headrest ensures your child’s head doesn’t fall forward if they fall asleep and therefore increases safety because your child’s head is protected at all times inside the protective shell of the seats headrest. 

Using the isofix on the Solution S2 i-Fix will increase stability and decrease movement in the vehicle. However, the seat can also be used in vehicles without isofix anchors without compromising your child’s safety. Just remember to buckle the booster in when unoccupied, if it is not attached to the isofix, to prevent it becoming a projectile in a crash.

The Solution S i-Fix was given a score of 1.8 for safety by ADAC with a low risk of injury in a frontal collision and a very low risk of injury in a side collision. It was given an overall ADAC score of 1.8 which is "good".

WHAT ARE THE COMFORT FEATURES OF THE cybex Solution S2 i-Fix?

The Solution S2 i-Fix contains sufficient padding all round for the best protection and comfort. The headrest has 12 height adjustable positions which ensures that the vehicle’s seat belt fits safely and comfortably over your child as they grow. Additionally, the head protectors are made to grow with the personal space requirements of the child for optimal comfort. 

The Solution S2 i-Fix contains a built in ventilation system which ensures the seat is always at an optimal temperature to prevent your child from overheating on hotter days.  The seat of the Solution S i-Fix is extra wide and deep which gives your child adequate space and comfort from the padding. 

The Solution S2 i-Fix is easy and quick to adjust with a one hand adjustable mechanism. Furthermore, the Solution S2 i-Fix has a reclining adjustable back rest which will ensure the backrest is flat against the vehicle backrest of any vehicle making it usable in any vehicle.

How to adjust the Solution S2 i-Fix according to your child’s height?

The seats headrest can be adjusted to your child’s height by simply lifting up the lever on the back of the headrest and simultaneously lifting or lowering the headrest to the correct height for your child. The seatbelt must be threaded through the green seatbelt slots on either side of the headrest (the side that the seatbelt extends from the vehicle) and then under the arm rest and clicked into the vehicle buckle. 

The shoulder belt part of the seat belt should sit comfortably between the child’s neck and shoulder. Ensure that the green belt guides are not touching your child’s shoulder and that the shoulder belt is not cutting into your child’s neck. The lap belt must sit over the top of the thighs and not across the abdomen. 

It is very important to note that both the shoulder belt and lap belt must be threaded UNDER the armrests before clicking the seatbelt into the buckle. The child's head should be protected by the shell of the headrest at all times, but the top of the head is allowed to protrude slightly above the headrest.
