As parents, we all love convenience in installing, carrying the car seat with our baby onboard, and going around. Personally, I tend to move away from heavy car seats. I know they have the best features when it comes to safety. But while researching and testing different car seats, I’ve discovered that lightweight, compact and secure car seats also exist. We tested Cybex Aton M with SensorSafe for several days to see how well it performs. And if the SensorSafe is reliable enough for your baby.
How We Tested Cybex Aton M with SensorSafe
Installing Cybex Aton M with SensorSafe Infant Car Seat in our sedan was a bit confusing at first, and we had to try a few times to get it to properly locked into the base. And although Cybex has great safety, this problem with the base made us feel uneasy.
How We Picked Cybex Aton M with SensorSafe
As parents of two, we have experienced buying a car seat for our firstborn which has a lot of wins, but it also has small details that matter that we wish we knew before we decided. Now that we are looking for another car seat, here are some things to keep in mind.
Safety
Cybex is a brand known for its safety features and the line Anton M is one of the car seats in the market that features a load leg which spreads the impact in case of any collision or accident. It also boasts SafeLock technology with anti-rebound.
Parents often worry about the installation of load leg, but for Cybex Anton M, they provide instructions that are easy to follow and can be a life-saving feature if installed correctly.
Fit for your baby
If you worry that comfort might be compromised because of the seat being compact and with all the safety features, fret not. Cybex Anton M has a firm and thick padding that can comfortably fit your baby which made us feel at ease seeing our child cocooned into the seat. It also has 11 positions for the headrest which is very important specially for newborns since we are more comfortable with our baby lying flat during a car ride.
The belt is Y-shape with soft paddings which is adjustable and secure. Your child can enjoy a cozy and comfortable long rides. It also has a large canopy with UPF 50+ canopy that can protect your child from head to toe.
SensorSafe Technology
You can purchase Cybex Anton M with or without the SensorSafe Technology. This technology allows the parent to be notified if their children’s seat is unbuckled. This technology also prevents parents accidentally leaving their child in their car, specially on a hot summer day.
SensorSafe is very sensitive and can detect even the slightest movement, and we received tons of notifications for this, which was alarming at first and then annoying afterwards.
What We Don’t Like About Cybex Aton M with SensorSafe
We love the Cybex for its safety features, quality and comfort, but installing it into the base was overwhelming and challenging at first, and it took us around 5 minutes to make sure everything is in place and there will be no accidental movement. And according to the reviews we read, it only gets worse in time.
The SensorSafe which is made to notify parents is too sensitive. It’s supposed to notify you when your child is unbuckled, but it sends notification for every movement.
Cybex Aton M with SensorSafe Infant Car Seat
Cybex Aton M Infant Car Seat provides safety, comfort, and the technology you need to take care of your baby. Above that, it’s also affordable and compact, perfect for parents who use the public transportation, has a small car or needs to fit two car seats in the back seat. With its high quality and reasonable price, it’s no doubt that Cybex Anton M is a strong contender, but it also has little things that have big impact specially for parents peace of mind.
