Cybex Sirona M
If you are a parent, you know how important it is to make sure that your child is safe. You also know how many products are absolutely necessary for you to purchase for your child. One of the most important things that you will need to get even before your child is born is a car seat.
Most countries all over the world now require small children to sit in car seats by law until they are of a certain age. This means that you will need to find one that you can not only use for a long time, but also one that you can be certain will keep your child as safe as can be. Luckily, more and more companies have been creating options that have raised many parents’ standards.
One of those companies is Cybex. The Sirona M is a seat that is complete with brand-new technology, impact protection, and it even has an app that it is compatible with. If you are from the United States, you likely have never heard of this brand or even have heard of a product with similar features due to the fact that Cybex typically is more targeted towards Europe.
In this review, we will talk about some of the reasons why many parents have started to look at products made by Cybex and all the different features that this product has to offer.
- Smart SensorSafe technology
- You'll know whether your car is too hot or too cold
- Compatible app allows you to also input emergency contacts
- Impact protection
- Can be used for children up to 65 pounds
- May be too expensive for some budgets
- Seat may be a bit bulky
- Cannot be used in cars older than 2007
Basic Features
The sides of the seat have impact protection, which means that should you happen to get into a collision, the cushions will absorb the impact to protect your baby. There are belt holders in this product which are magnetic, which means that, as you put your child in the seat, you won’t have to worry about what to do about the seat belt that is constantly getting in your way. The seat faces backward and will be able to fit your child in this position until your child weighs 40 pounds.
The Cybex website also has a feature for you to include information about what type of car you have so you can get a detailed guide on how to install the seat correctly. This makes the entire process much easier for a lot of parents.
Advanced Features
There is an app that is compatible with the car seat called SensorSafe 2.0- which can be used on any smartphone device- which will allow parents to receive notifications about their child. If the car is too hot or too cold, parents will be in the know, and they also will receive a notification if they happened to have left their child in the car after the ignition was turned off.
Also, one of the features of the app allows parents to include information about other emergency contacts who will also be alerted in similar instances in case the parent is not available for whatever reason.
Size
The dimensions of the Cybex Sirona M are 29 x 20 x 18.5 inches. Despite the fact that it has been approved for use on an airplane, it might not be the most ideal car seat to travel with because of how big it is.
Ease of Use
Safety
You will be able to input your own information as well as the information of others you trust so that you can receive notifications if necessary. If the car seat detects that a child has been left in a car that has been turned off, the parent will receive a notification about this. Also, the parent will be able to know whether the car’s temperature is too hot or too cold. Aside from this, the car seat’s cushions have Linear Side-Impact Protection technology, which is meant to be able to absorb more than 25 percent more impact than other cushions would be able to in the event of an accident.
Comfort
It is also meant to provide enough comfort for your child to be able to sit through an airplane ride, as it has been approved for use on airplanes. You won’t have to worry about your child being uncomfortable as long as they are sitting in this car seat.
Weight
However, if you simply want something that you will be able to put in your car, then this won’t be a bad option. As far as your child’s weight goes, this product will be able to accommodate a child that is between 5 and 65 pounds. If the seat is facing backward in your car, you will be able to keep it that way until your child weighs 40 pounds.
Price
While some may argue that this is a justified price due to all the new innovations that the car seat has to offer to parents for their children to remain safe at all costs, others feel that you will be able to get something with similar safety features and that will last you for just as long for a lower price. Whether or not you are willing to spend such a price tag on a car seat is ultimately up to you and your capabilities.
