Who is the Aton G2 for?

The Aton G2 is a rear-facing infant car seat for babies from 4 to 30 lb who are less than 32 in tall, with the top of the head at least 1 in below the top of the seat or headrest. The carrier clicks into a load leg base, can be belted in without it, and expires after 6 years.

Reasons to consider it

  • A 9 lb carrier, as listed on the CYBEX product page
  • A base that installs with lower anchors, a lap/shoulder belt or a lap belt only, closed with the SafeLock belt tensioner
  • Installation without the base, which is also how it is certified for aircraft
  • 11 headrest positions with a no-rethread harness

Things to weigh up

  • Rear-facing only, and outgrown at 30 lb, 32 in or when head clearance runs out, whichever comes first
  • The manual's child requirements say 4 to 30 lb, but a warning label reproduced later in the same manual says 4 to 35 lb and 17 to 32 in
  • Some vehicles do not allow a load leg in every seating position
  • Covers can be machine washed, but the harness straps are sponge cleaned only

My take on the Aton G2

The Aton G2 suits a family that wants a carrier CYBEX lists at 9 lbs, lifted on and off a base with a load leg. The trade-off is that it stops at 30 lb and 32 in, so a convertible seat follows. The Aton G2 Swivel lists the same limits and dimensions; its base rotates 180 degrees and has an anti-rebound bar.

Who the Aton G2 fits

This seat covers one stage. Cybex gives it a 6-year life from the date of manufacture, so check the date label before using a hand-me-down.

The child faces the back of the car, which keeps the head, neck and spine supported in a frontal crash. Keep this mode as long as the child fits it.

How the Aton G2 installs

Harness
11-position no-rethread headrest. Check the harness height at each growth spurt: at or below the shoulders rear-facing, at or above them forward-facing.

Every install is a fit between one seat and one vehicle. Read both manuals, and use a free inspection station if anything is unclear.

Will it fit your car?

At 17.5 in at its widest, this seat is one of the narrower ones in its class and is a candidate for three across in many mid-size cars. It weighs 9 lb, which matters if you will move it between cars or carry it through an airport.

  • Check your vehicle manual for lower anchor positions and any head-restraint rules.
  • Rear-facing seats need front-seat room: try the install behind the driver before you commit.
  • Certified for aircraft use, so it can travel as a seat rather than checked baggage.

What features does the Aton G2 have?

  • Load leg base
  • SensorSafe chest clip
  • Linear side-impact protection
  • SafeLock belt tensioner
  • 11-position no-rethread headrest
  • Rear-facing only

Where Cybex’s page and manual disagree

  • Product page: 4-30 lbs, max 32 in (spec list and FAQ); Manual: Child requirements page: 4-30 lb, height less than 32 in; a reproduced warning label later in the same manual states 4-35 lbs and 17-32 in

When they differ, follow the manual and the labels on your seat.

What to know before you live with it

Three ways to install the base

The base installs with lower anchors, a lap/shoulder belt or a lap belt only, and each method is locked under the SafeLock belt tensioner until its indicator turns green. Before installing, the recline foot is set so the indicator line sits in the blue zone, which covers all children from 4 to 30 lb. There are four recline positions. CYBEX allows a center seat install with the inner lower anchors of the outboard seats only if they are 11 to 20 in apart and the vehicle maker allows it. The base must not move more than 1 in at the belt path, and LATCH and the seat belt are never used together.

The load leg and its conditions

CYBEX strongly recommends using the load leg. It is extended only to the first hole that locks it firmly against the vehicle floor, never further, and it must sit flat on the floor. It is not a recline adjustment. Some vehicle makers do not allow load legs in every seating position, so the vehicle owner's manual comes first. If the requirements cannot be met, the manual gives three choices: another seating position, the base with the leg stored, or installing without the base. When it is not in use, the leg locks into its storage spot under the base.

Without the base, and on a plane

The carrier has blue lap belt guides and a rear blue shoulder belt guide. The preferred method routes the lap portion through the lap guides, then lifts the shoulder belt over the handle and around the carrier into the rear guide. An alternate route is only for vehicles where the preferred one does not work. The belt must lock, or a locking clip is needed. On aircraft the seat is certified only without the base: rear-facing, in a window seat so the aisle stays clear, with the lap belt through both guides and the white level line level with the aircraft floor. The handle stays locked throughout.

Cleaning, the insert and the buckle

The seat cover lifts off the shell after the canopy fabric, with the buckle strap anchor pushed up through its slot and four snaps undone at the inside center. The cover, shoulder pads, infant insert and buckle cover can be machine washed in cold water on a delicate cycle and air dried, never ironed. Harness straps are sponge cleaned with warm water and mild soap. No bleach, household cleaners, solvents or lubricants. CYBEX recommends the infant insert until about 11 lbs or about 3 months. The buckle strap has rear, middle and front slots and should sit as close as possible to the child, but never under them.

Aton G2: common questions

What are the Aton G2 weight and height limits?

The manual's child requirements are 4 to 30 lb and a height less than 32 in, with the top of the head at least 1 in below the top of the seat or headrest, whichever is higher. Once a child exceeds any one of these, the seat is outgrown.

How heavy and wide is the Aton G2?

CYBEX lists it at 9 lbs, 17.5 in wide and 26.1 in long, with a height of 14.7 to 22.8 in. The page does not say whether the 9 lbs includes the base.

Can the Aton G2 be used on an airplane?

Yes, but only without the base. The manual says to install it rear-facing in a window seat, with the aircraft lap belt through both lap belt guides pulled as tight as possible. It also says to check with the airline before departure.

When does the Aton G2 expire?

The manual says never to use it when it is older than six (6) years. The date of manufacture is on a label on the bottom of the infant car seat.

What is the difference between the Aton G2 and the Aton G2 Swivel?

The Swivel's base rotates 180 degrees and combines an anti-rebound bar with a load leg. CYBEX lists the Swivel at 4 to 30 lb, a maximum of 32 in, 17.5 in wide and 9 lbs, and says new Aton G2 seats can mix and match between the standard and swivel bases.

Which strollers does the Aton G2 fit?

CYBEX says it works with any CYBEX stroller using the adapters included with the stroller. For other brands, each stroller maker decides compatibility, so check that stroller's manual for a CYBEX adapter.

Answers refer to the model and manual version on this page. Check the instructions supplied with your seat.

Before you buy

  1. Weigh and measure your child. The limits above are the manufacturer’s, and a child has to meet all of them for the mode they will use.
  2. Confirm the exact version. Colors, retail exclusives and model numbers change limits more often than you would expect; Cybex lists 2 colors of this seat.
  3. Read the manual before you buy, not after. It is linked above and holds the fit rules, the install methods and the expiry.
  4. Check recalls by model number and date of manufacture, and register the seat with Cybex so you hear about the next one.
