Thank you for purchasing the CYBEX Solution Z-x High Back Booster Seat. We are proud to bring this German engineered
seat to North America. We hope the Solution Z-x will make your child’s travel both safer and more pleasant, as well as
making installation and use for you as simple and easy as possible.
The Solution Z-x is the next generation of the award winning CYBEX booster seats. With greatly improved protection in side
impact and forward facing crashes, the Solution Z-x takes booster safety to a new level.
Statistics show that over 75% of car seats are installed incorrectly!
Please read and follow these instructions to install this booster seat correctly, even if the installation and use of this booster
seat might seem simple and intuitive. The safety of your child depends on it! Although many booster seats may be used
without the backrest attached, the Solution Z-x should NEVER BE USED WITHOUT THE BACKREST ATTACHED as it
dramatically reduces the protection in a crash.
We recommend keeping your young child in a properly sized and installed car seat as long as possible before making the
switch to the Solution Z-x High Back Booster Seat.
No car seat can guarantee protection from injury in every situation, but proper use helps reduce the risk of death or serious
injury. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact Cybex at 1-877-242-5676
Also, please remember to register your booster seat so we can contact you in the unlikely event of a recall. Register online:

The Solution Z-x brings all new technologies to the High
Back Booster Seat category to enhance the safety of your
child in the event of a side impact collision.
LINEAR SIDE-IMPACT PROTECTION™ (L.S.P.)
The L.S.P. system allows the forces from a side impact
collision to be reduced gradually to help minimize injuries.
The Head and Shoulder Protectors are made of extra deep
and thick energy absorbing EPS foam to create a deep
Safety Zone™ around your child.
THREE POSITION RECLINING HEADREST
When a child sleeps, their head can fall forward. The CYBEX
Three Position Reclining Headrest helps avoid this by
allowing your child’s head to recline and remain protected in
the Safety Zone of the Head Protectors. If your child slumps
forward out of position when asleep, there is an increased
risk that your child will not be well protected in the event of a
collision.
Thanks to the Reclining Headrest of the Solution Z-x, your
child will be able to lean back and sleep comfortably with the
head inside the Safety Zone.

BOOSTER SEAT OVERVIEW

WHEN TO PLACE YOUR CHILD IN A BOOSTER SEAT
Booster seats raise the child up and help to position the
vehicle lap and shoulder belt correctly. When the child is
properly restrained in a booster seat, their risk of injury in
all types of crashes is reduced.
It is important for the child to
sit properly within the vehicle
seat belts. When the vehicle
seat belt is buckled, the lap belt
must be positioned low and
snug at the child’s hips, just
touching the thighs (a), and the
shoulder belt should lie across
the middle of the shoulder
(b). If the child leans out or
moves the belt behind the back
or places it under the arm, it will not provide the intended
restraint.
There are a number of things to consider when deciding
whether the child is ready to sit in a booster seat, including:
the weight and height rating on their current child seat, the
child’s own weight and height, their maturity, and the seating
positions available in your vehicle.
How is a booster seat used?
Using a booster seat is very similar to buckling yourself into
the vehicle:
• Read the instruction manuals for both the booster seat
and the vehicle before you start.
• Put the booster in the back seat in a location with a lap
and shoulder belt. Never use a booster with only a lap
belt, as this could cause serious injuries.
• After the child is in the booster, pull the lap and shoulder
belt across him/her and buckle it.
• Check that the shoulder belt lies across the middle of
the shoulder and that the lap belt is low on the hips, just
touching the thighs.
How can you tell if your child is ready to transition to a
booster seat?
You should consider using a booster seat if the following
conditions apply:
• The child is mature enough to sit in the booster seat and
not put the belts under their arm or behind their back.
• The child is approaching the weight or height limit of the
child restraint they are currently using.
• If you have a vehicle that does not have a tether
anchorage but has lap/shoulder belts available in the back
seat.
b
a

EN
The tops of the child’s ears (Orange Line) are below the top
of the booster seat (Red Line).
When sitting in a booster seat, the shoulder belt should lie
across the middle of the shoulder (GREEN ZONE) and
snug across the midpoint of the child‘s chest.
The lap portion of the seat belt MUST be positioned low and
snug at the child‘s hips.

CHILD SIZE: HEIGHT, WEIGHT, AND AGE RANGES
• USE ONLY with children who are 3
years of age or older AND who weigh
18-50 kg (40-110 lb) AND whose height
is 96-152 cm (38-60 inches). Using this
booster seat with a child who does not
meet ALL of these requirements may
increase the risk of death or serious injury.
• Use this booster seat FORWARD
FACING ONLY.

• YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY depends
on you correctly installing and using this
booster seat.
• READ and FOLLOW all booster seat
and vehicle instructions carefully. Failure
to follow these instructions and the
product labeling can result in DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY of your child in a
sharp turn, sudden stop, or crash.
• DO NOT install or use this booster seat
until you have read and understand the
instructions in this manual and in your
vehicle Owner’s Manual . If there is
a conict between the two, the vehicle
Owner’s Manual must be followed unless
explicitly warned against in this manual.
• NEVER USE this booster seat with a
lap belt only, or with any motorized, door
mounted, or inatable vehicle belts. Your
child would not be properly restrained in
the event of a crash.
• DO NOT let others install or use this
booster seat unless they understand how
to correctly install and use it.
• KEEP this Owner’s Manual for future
reference by storing it in the pocket
behind the Backrest pad.
• NEVER USE the Booster Base without
the Backrest attached.
• NEVER TAKE your child out of the
booster seat to tend to his or her needs
while the vehicle is moving. Unrestrained
occupants are at a greatly increased risk
of DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY in a car
crash.
• NEVER TEND to your child’s needs
while driving. Driving while distracted is
the cause of many car crashes. Safely
stop your vehicle in order to tend to your
child.
• NEVER LEAVE children unattended in a
vehicle, even for a short period of time
• The primary protection for occupants of
a vehicle in a collision is the structure of
the vehicle itself; a booster seat and the
vehicle restraint system may not protect
a child from injury when a vehicle is
seriously impacted. Correctly used per the
!WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur

EN

instruction and labeling, this booster seat
will substantially improve the chances for
survival in most crashes.
• TOO MUCH RECLINE IN THE
VEHICLE SEAT BACK can result in
improper seat belt position. An improperly
positioned seat belt increases the risk
of DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY in
a crash. Follow your vehicle Owner’s
Manual instructions for proper seat
back positioning.
• USE ONLY the vehicle’s lap and
shoulder belt system when restraining
your child in this booster seat.
• IMPROPER PLACEMENT of this
booster seat in a vehicle a󰀨ects the
booster seat’s performance and can
result in DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.
• ONLY PLACE this booster seat
FORWARD FACING in a vehicle
seating location allowed by the vehicle
manufacturer. Refer to your vehicle
Owner’s Manual for information about
vehicle seat belt systems, air bags, and
child restraint/booster seat installation to
determine allowable seating positions.
• Use this booster seat FORWARD
FACING ONLY.
• ACCORDING TO ACCIDENT
STATISTICS, children are safer when
properly restrained in rear vehicle seating
positions.
• DO NOT USE this booster seat in a
seating position with an airbag unless the
vehicle manufacturer specically allows
placement of a child restraint there. If
an air bag inates, it can hit your child
with such a great force that it may cause
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.

REST against the vehicle seat back.
• Vehicle headrest MUST NOT
INTERFERE with the booster seat
Backrest. See the vehicle Owner’s
Manual for adjustment or possible

injure vehicle occupants.
• DO NOT SECURE this booster seat to
the vehicle’s lower LATCH/UAS anchors
if the seat belt or seat belt buckle is not
easily accessible when the booster seat is
securely installed.

folding mechanism unlocked. In the event
of a sudden stop, a loose vehicle seat
back could prevent this booster seat from
protecting your child as well as it should.

books, bags, etc.) in a vehicle. In the
event of a sudden stop, loose objects will
become projectiles, potentially causing
serious injuries.

damage and it must be replaced. Your
insurance company may provide some
assistance replacing the booster seat.
