Testing the Cybex Cloud Z2 i-Size

With the Cloud series, Cybex have developed an ergonomic lie-flat position. Building on this innovation the newest Cloud Z2 can also be placed in a semi-reclined position while in the car. Our parent testers loved this new feature, allowing for greater comfort for the child without compromising on safety while on the road.

"As a current user of the Cybex Cloud Z car seat, I was very excited to try this new version! The Cloud Z2 is very similar to the original one however the new feature of being able to lie it flat in the car is a great addition. This feature would mean a young baby could stay in the car seat for longer which is amazing for longer car journeys. This car seat is very safe and I appreciate all the additional safety features it has, but still looks stylish with a sleek and modern design."

"This is a fantastic car seat overall. The near lay-flat position is a brilliant feature and provides comfort for the baby. It makes being on the go a lot smoother when the baby can take a nap in a lying down position."

The ability to swivel the car seat was also a favourite feature of our testers: "Loved this product. It is simple to install, comfortable for my little one and makes life so much easier with a newborn and a toddler. The swivel feature makes it quick easy to put my newborn in, which is a massive bonus."

Other parents also praised the hood, and the ease with which the car seat attaches to the base: "I loved this car seat, I would definitely buy it if I needed a new car seat. It was easy to use. I liked that it was isofix so you know it’s secure and your child is safe. The base lets you know easily if you’ve fitted it properly, it even beeps if you have it positioned incorrectly. It was easy to spin and lift the car seat off at the base. It’s a great size seat so baby looked very comfortable. The lie flat feature helped of the baby fell asleep in the car seat. The integrated hood was one of my favourite features, folds down easily and gives great UV protection."

The only thing commented on was the weight, some reviews said it was hard to carry baby in the car seat.
