A child safety seat, also known as a child restraint system (CRS), is a device designed for children of different ages (or weights) and installed in the car to improve the safety of children in the car. Because children's body proportions, height and weight are very different from adults, the use of adult seat belts will be very easy to make the seat belt stuck in the baby's neck and face, and more seriously, it will strangle the ribs or cervical spine of the child's chest in an instant, causing serious consequences.
According to the National Highway Transportation Authority (NHTSA), the use of car seats can reduce child fatalities in crash accidents by 71%. In the 80s of the last century, Europe has successively introduced relevant laws and regulations on child safety riding, forcing parents to use child safety seats for children. On the other hand, China, as the world's largest production base of child safety seats, mainly exports, and the average utilization rate of child safety seats in China is less than 5%, which is significantly different from developed countries.
In Germany, more than 90 percent of children are in use. Germany's industrial base is very deep, as a car kingdom, in the field of child safety seats highly related to cars, Germany has also been at the forefront of the world, as early as the 80s of the last century, Germany was born a number of excellent brands, until today still occupies a leading position in Europe and even the world, Cybex is one of the leaders.
Founded in 2005, Cybex is a rising star in the German safety seat, and it is not easy to survive in a highly competitive industry, and it is an extraordinary achievement to do better than its predecessors. At the beginning of its establishment, its first car seat product had a design patent for a retractable backrest, and Cybex has not only repeatedly ranked in the world's most valuable ADAC (All-German Automobile Club) and STIFTUNG WARENTEST (German Commodity Testing Foundation) child safety seat crash tests, but also performed well in industrial design, and has won the highest award in the field of design - the German Red Dot Design Award for 8 consecutive years.
The Cybex child car seat has a high level of performance and is unrivaled in the reviews, with products that score high in all age classes. In the STIFTUNG WARENTEST evaluation, except for the few series of Aton 3 (3.4 points) and Aton 4 (4.6 points), there are very few models with a score of more than 2.5 points (in the STIFTUNG WARENTEST and ADAC rating systems, the lower the score, the higher the evaluation), and most of its child safety seats have not fallen out of the "GUT (good)" evaluation.
In terms of side impact protection, Cybex adopts the exclusive research and development of LSP side impact protection system, which can well twist the impact force in the event of a collision and can play a very good role in dispersing the impact force and impact force. The fabrics are made of aerospace-grade fabrics, which are extremely enjoyable and durable, providing the strongest protection and ensuring children's comfort.
Cybex has several series of child safety seats, priced between 2,000 and 6,000 yuan. Different series of products are quite different, designed for children of different ages, ATON and CLOUD series are cradle safety bassints, suitable for children from 0 to 18 months, these two series use Y-shaped seat belts to fix children, can be fixed in the car with car seat belts in reverse, and some models also support ISOFIX interface, which is convenient and reliable to install.
There are many ATON series products, in addition to Aton 3 and Aton 4, other products in the series are worth recommending, among which the most recommended are Aton 5 and Aton M. They are Cybex's latest products for children aged 0-1.5 years, and in the 2017 ADAC evaluation, the Aton 5 and Aton M series both received a "GUT (good)" rating, ranking in the top three, and the Aton 5 ranked first with a score of 1.6 on the STIFTUNG WARENTEST.
The SIRONA series is suitable for children aged 0-4 years old, because the age span of this series is larger than the ATON and CLOUD series, so the child fixation method is also more flexible, covering 5-point fixation, Y-type fixation and impact shield, which can be changed as the child grows. Among the SIRONA series of products, the Sirona S i-Size and the Sirona M2 i-Size have received ADAC's "GUT (Good)" comprehensive evaluation, and are the most recommended.
The JUNO series is suitable for children from 9 months to 4 years old, and its age range is smaller than that of the SIRONA series, and the fixation method is more simple, and only the preheater is used to immobilize the child. However, since there are no evaluation results of the JUNO series at present, parents need to be cautious when purchasing.
The PALLAS and SOLUTION series are suitable for children aged 9 months to 12 years and 3 years to 12 years old, respectively, and many of the products under these two series have achieved good results in ADAC evaluations, and the quality is very stable, and the evaluation results are consistently ranked in the top three. The SOLUTION series is suitable for older children, while the PALLAS series has a longer age span, and can be securely fixed with a sheath between 9 months and 4 years of age, and after the age of 4, the impact shield can be removed and replaced with a three-point fixation.
