For your child's maximum protection, it is essential to use and install the CYBEX Solution according to the instructions in this manual.

Note! Please keep the instruction manual close by for future reference (e.g. in the drawer under the seat).

FIRST ASSEMBLY

CYBEX Solution consists of a seat cushion (d) and a back rest (a) with attached reclining and height adjustable headrest. Only the combination of both parts will give your child the optimum comfort and protection.

None of the parts can be used separately or in combination with products of another range or manufacturer. In that case the license would expire immediately.

Connect the backrest (a) to the booster (d) by hooking the guide lug (b) on the axis (c) of the booster (d).

The drawer must not be in the seat cushion at this time!

Apply slight pressure on the back rest while carefully bringing it into an upright position.
Now put the drawer in the space provided on the back of the seat cushion. Please keep the instruction manual in the drawer at all times, so you have it available in case you need any information.

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Adjusting the height of the headrest (e) in the best possible position, will optimize the safety and comfort of your child. It also guarantees the best course for the diagonal belt (f). The headrest (e) can be adjusted in 7 different positions. Please make sure that there is 2 fingers width's of space between the child's shoulders and the bottom of the seat belt guide. The headrest has to be adjusted accordingly.

ADJUSTING THE HEADREST

• Place your child in the CYBEX Solution.
• Pull the adjustment handle (h) up to unlock the headrest.
• Now you can adjust the headrest (e) to the desirable height.
• As soon as you let go of the adjustment handle (h), the headrest (e) will lock into place.

THE BEST POSITION IN THE CAR

CYBEX Solution can be used on any vehicle seat equipped with a 3-Point safety belt system. We recommend using the back seat of the vehicle, since the front seat is in general more dangerous for a child in case of an accident. Technically, CYBEX Solution can be used on the passenger seat. In that case please note the following:

• If the vehicle is equipped with a passenger airbag, push the seat as far back as possible, but remember that the seat belt starting point has to be behind the CYBEX Solution at all times.
• You must follow the instructions of the vehicle manufacturer.
  

You must not use the seat with a two-point belt or a lap belt. When securing your child with a two-point belt, the child may sustain lethal injuries in an accident. Using CYBEX Solution on seats facing the opposite or diagonal direction of traffic is prohibited. CYBEX Solution has to be fastened at all times, even if a child is not seated in it. A small impact or emergency stop can cause injuries to yourself and other passengers if the CYBEX Solution is not buckled in. Always make sure that the child safety car seat does not get jammed between hard objects (e.g. the door of the car, seat rail etc.) as it might cause damage to the seat.

For vehicles with passenger seats that are positioned sideways, the use of this child seat is not allowed. For seats that are positioned against the direction of travel, e.g. in a van or a minibus, the use of the child seat is allowed, assuming the seat is approved to carry an adult. Please ensure that the headrest is not taken off when mounting the child seat on a passenger seat which is positioned against the direction of travel! The child seat must have the seat belt fastened even when not in use. This is necessary to avoid the driver or passenger getting injured by a loose child seat when making an emergency stop or in case of a crash.

Note! Please never leave your child in the car without supervision.

PLACING THE SEAT IN THE VEHICLE

Place CYBEX Solution on the chosen seat in the car.

Note! In vehicles with leather or other susceptible fabric interior please use a blanket to protect your seats.

Please make sure that the back rest (a) of the child seat lies flat against the back rest of the vehicle seat so that the child seat is under no circumstances in a sleeping position.

Note! If the headrest of the vehicle seat interferes, please pull it out to the farthest position and turn it around or take it off entirely. The car seat's back rest (a) optimally adjusts to almost any inclination of the vehicle seat.

To guarantee the best possible protection of your child, it is best to leave the CYBEX Solution in a normal upright position.

BUCKLING UP THE CHILD

Place your child in the CYBEX Solution. Pull out the 3-Point safety belt around your child and towards the buckle (l).

Do not twist the belt.

Now close the buckle (m+l). Wait for an audible CLICK to make sure it is fastened correctly.

Insert the lap belt (n) into the belt guides of the seat (k).
Tighten the lap belt (n) by pulling the diagonal belt (f). The tighter the belt the safer it is for the child.
Now put the diagonal belt (f) with the lap belt (n) into the belt opening (k) of the seat (d) on the side of the buckle (l).

The belt buckle of the car seat (l) must under no circumstances reach into the bottom belt guide (k). If the belt strap is too long then the seat is not suitable for this vehicle.

The lap belt (n) should be in the belt openings (k) of the seat cushion (d) on both sides.

Note! Teach your child from the beginning to always pay attention to a tight belt and to tighten the belt by itself if necessary.

The lap belt must, on both sides, run as low across the groin of your child as possible in order to take optimal effect in case of an accident.

Now put the diagonal belt (f) into the shoulder guide opening (g) by the headrest (e) until it is secured.

Make sure that the diagonal belt (f) passes between the child's neck and the outer edge of the shoulder.

If necessary adjust the headrest. The height of the headrest can still be adjusted when the seat is in place in the car.
The vehicle's diagonal belt guide always has to be behind the CYBEX Solution. The diagonal belt (f) must under no circumstances pass through the shoulder belt opening from the front. If you are not able to position CYBEX Solution accordingly (for example by moving up the vehicle's seat), it is not suitable for this type of vehicle.

IS YOUR CHILD PROPERLY SECURED?

To ensure maximum safety for your child, please check the following before starting the car:

• The lap belt (n) has to run through the bottom belt guides (k) on both sides of the seat cushion.
• The diagonal belt (f) has to be in the bottom belt opening (k) on the side of the buckle.
• The diagonal belt (f) has to run through the top belt opening (g) by the headrest.
• The diagonal belt (f) has to run through the top belt opening towards the back to the belt guide of the vehicle.
• The entire safety belt has to be tight and not twisted.
  

Under no circumstances should the buckle reach into the belt openings of the seat shell.

Luggage or other obstacles in the car have to be secured to avoid injuries in case of an accident.

RECLINING HEADREST

CYBEX Solution has a reclining headrest (r). In case your child falls asleep, it helps to keep its head from falling forward. Additionally it adds to your child's comfort while riding in the car.
By pulling on the handle (s), which is attached on the top of the headrest, the headrest (r) can be reclined in 3 different positions.

The reclining mechanism (t) mustn't be blocked with any obstacles. The functionality of the recliner has to be guaranteed to keep your child from injuries in case of an accident.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

To guarantee the highest possible safety standard of your CYBEX Solution, it is necessary to note the following:

• All important parts of the CYBEX Solution should be checked for damage periodically.
• Mechanical parts must function properly.
• Pay close attention to the fact that the CYBEX Solution has not been damaged by being wedged between the vehicle seat and door or other hard objects.

REMOVING THE SEAT COVER

The cover consists of four pieces, which attach to CYBEX Solution by either velcro or snap on buttons. Once you have undone all the fastenings, the cover parts can be taken off.
To put the cover back on, follow the directions in reverse order.

CYBEX Solution must NOT be used without a cover.

CLEANING

In case you need to replace a cover, make sure it is an original CYBEX Solution cover. The cover plays a crucial role in the functioning of the seat Replacement seat covers are available in specialty stores.

Note! Please wash the cover before you use it the first time. Seat covers are machine washable at max. 30°C on delicate cycle. If you wash it at higher temperature, the cover fabric may lose colour. Please wash the cover separately and never dry it mechanically! Do not dry the cover in direct sunlight! You can clean the plastic parts with a mild detergent and warm water.

Do not use chemical cleaners or bleach!

WHAT TO DO AFTER AN ACCIDENT

If you had an accident, the seat might have sustained damages which are not visible. In this case, the child safety seat must absolutely be examined by the manufacturer and replaced if necessary.

DURABILITY OF THE PRODUCT

The CYBEX Solution was designed to easily fulfill its purpose for the duration of the recommended time frame, which is 9 years (recommended for age group approx. 3-12 years).However, since high fluctuations of temperature might occur and since there might be unforeseeable exposures to the child seat, it is important to note the following:

• If the car is exposed to direct sunlight for a longer period of time, the child seat must be taken out of the car or covered with a cloth.
• Examine all plastic and metal parts of the seat for any damages or changes about their form or colour on a yearly basis. If you notice any changes, you need to dispose of the child seat or it must be examined by the manufacturer and replaced if necessary.
• Changes to the fabric, in particular the fading of colour, are normal after yearlong use in a car and do not constitute a fault.
