Who the Solution G2 fits

This seat covers one stage. Cybex gives it a 8-year life from the date of manufacture, so check the date label before using a hand-me-down.

How the Solution G2 installs

Rigid LATCH
Rigid LATCH. Rigid connectors click straight onto the vehicle's lower anchor bars, which removes the strap slack that causes loose installs.

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 23.2 in at its widest, measure your back seat before counting on three across. It weighs 12.8 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.
  • Not certified for aircraft use: plan on gate-checking it or using a different seat to fly.

Where Cybex’s page and manual disagree

  • Product page: Specifications list: child height 43.3-60 in; Product page faq: FAQ on the same page: 38-60 in tall

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

Is the Solution G2 recalled?

No campaign in the current NHTSA child-restraint data names this model family, and I have not run a separate review for it. Check your seat’s model number and date of manufacture before use.

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.
