Dear parents,
Thank you for purchasing the CYBEX Solution X–fix High Back Booster Seat. We are proud
to bring this German engineered seat to North America. We hope the Solution X–fix 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 X–fix has undergone extensive testing and meets or exceeds all applicable Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in North America, as well as all applicable standards in Europe.
In four independent German magazine tests in 2009 and 2010, the Solution X-fix was rated the
number one High Back Booster Seat in both front and side impact protection. Additonally, in 2010
the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded the Solution X-fix a "Best Bet" based on
how well the booster seat will position the vehicle seat belt on your child.
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 X-fix 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 X-fix 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
Regal Lager, Inc. the North American distributor at 1–800–593–5522. Also, please remember to
register your booster seat so we can contact you in the unlikely event of a recall.
Keep this Owner’s Manual for future reference by storing it in the pocket on the back of Solution
X-fix. We appreciate your purchase and invite you to visit our web site www.cybex-online.com to
see other great CYBEX products.
Before the first use of this booster seat, please make sure you have followed all the steps in the
Safety Checklist and CYBEX Safe Practices found on page 32.

LINEAR SIDE IMPACT PROTECTION™
The Linear Side Impact Protection System
allows the forces from a side impact
collision to be reduced gradually to
minimize injuries.
A series of reactions are triggered and
the Head and Shoulder Protectors absorb
the momentum of the head and body to
maximize the protection of your child. 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
We all know the head of a child falling
asleep in a booster seat tends to fall
forward, and in most cases ends up
outside the Safety Zone of the head
protectors. The CYBEX Three Position
Reclining Headrest eliminates 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 X-fix, your child will be able to
sleep comfortably with the head inside the
Safety Zone.
Reports show that 27% of all crashes are side impact collisions1.The Solution X-fix
brings all new technologies to the High Back Booster Seat category to greatly increase
the safety of your child in the event of a side impact collision.

REGISTRATION AND RECALL INFORMATION

• 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 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
conflict between the two, the vehicle Owner’s Manual must be followed.
• 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 on the back
of the booster seat.
• USE ONLY with children who are 3 years of age or older AND whose height is
between 38—60 inches (96—152 cm) AND who weigh between 33—100 lb
(15—45 kg). Using this booster seat with a child who does not meet ALL of these
requirements will increase the risk of death or serious injury.
• ONLY USE this booster seat with the bottom of the Head Protection positioned at
two fingers width above your child’s shoulders.
• 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.
• The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision is the structure of
the vehicle itself; a booster seat will not protect a child when the vehicle is seriously
impacted. Correctly used, 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 three point lap and shoulder belt system when restraining
your child in this booster seat.
• NEVER USE this booster seat with a two–point only vehicle belt, (lap belt or shoulder
belt only) or with any motorized, or door mounted vehicle belts. Your child would not
be properly restrained in the event of a crash.
• IMPROPER PLACEMENT of this booster seat in a vehicle affects the booster seat’s
performance and can result in DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.
4
!WARNING!
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur

• ONLY PLACE this booster seat 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.
• Based on crash statistics, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) recommends that parents select the REAR SEAT as the safest location for
a properly installed booster seat. Study the sections on vehicle seat belts and vehicle
seat location in these instructions to ensure your child’s safety.
• DO NOT USE this booster seat in a seating position with
an airbag unless the vehicle manufacturer specifically allows
placement of a child restraint there. If an air bag inflates, it
can hit your child with such a great force that it may cause
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.
• The Backrest of this booster seat MUST 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 removal of vehicle headrest.
• NO PART of this booster seat should hang over the front of the vehicle seat.
• Use this booster seat FORWARD FACING O N LY.
• NEVER USE a locking clip when installing this booster seat.
• NEVER LEAVE an unsecured booster seat in your vehicle. Always secure this booster
seat with the vehicle seat belt, even when not occupied.
• NEVER LEAVE an unsecured booster seat in your vehicle. This booster seat must
be secured by the vehicle’s seat belt, even when not occupied. In a sharp turn, crash
or sudden stop, an unsecured booster seat can be thrown around and could injure
vehicle occupants.
• DO NOT SECURE this booster seat to the vehicle’s lower LATCH anchors if the seat
belt or seat belt buckle is not easily accessible when the booster seat is securely
installed.
• NEVER LEAVE a vehicle seat with a 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.
• DO NOT LEAVE loose objects (e.g. books, bags, etc.) in a vehicle. In the event of a
sudden stop, loose objects become projectiles, potentially causing serious injuries.
• DO NOT USE anything to raise this booster seat off the vehicle seat.
5
!WARNING!
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur

• NEVER USE this booster seat in the home, on aircraft, boats, low speed vehicles
(LSV), all-terrain vehicles (ATV), golf carts, or any other non-certified applications.
• NEVER ALLOW children to play with this booster seat.
• NEVER ALLOW children to play with vehicle seat belts as they may create an
ENTANGLEMENT HAZARD for any child that can reach the seat belt and may wrap
it around his or her neck.
• DO NOT USE this booster seat if it has been in a crash. There may be hidden
damage and it must be replaced. Your insurance company may provide some
assistance replacing the booster seat.
• NEVER USE this booster seat if it has been damaged in any way or has missing
parts.
• NEVER USE a cut, damaged, frayed, or inoperable vehicle seat belt.
• DO NOT ATTEMPT to make repairs to or otherwise modify or tamper with this
booster seat.
• NEVER USE this booster seat without properly installed fabric covers.
• NEVER USE a second–hand booster seat or a booster seat whose history you do not
know.
• DO NOT USE accessories or parts with this booster seat other than those approved
by CYBEX. Use of accessories or parts from other manufacturers could alter the
performance of the booster seat.
• DISCONTINUE USING this booster seat when it is older than seven (7) years and
recycle it. The date of manufacture can be found on a label affixed to the bottom of the
Booster Base.
• This booster seat and the vehicle seat belt can become very hot if left in the sun and
can burn your child’s skin. ALWAYS TOUCH the surfaces of the parts before putting
your child in the booster seat.
• NEVER leave children unattended in a vehicle, even for a short period of time.
6
!WARNING!
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur

ONLY USE this booster seat with the
bottom of the Head Protection
positioned at two fingers width above
child’s shoulders.
When your child sits properly in the
booster seat, the lap and shoulder belts
MUST lie within the GREEN ZONE as
shown:
• The shoulder belt threaded through the
belt guide and positioned across the
mid-point of your child’s chest and
shoulder, and NEVER in contact with
your child’s neck.
• The lap portion of the seat belt must
be positioned low and snug on
your child’s thighs and NEVER
on your child’s abdomen.
If the vehicle belt does not fall within the
GREEN ZONE, adjust the Backrest to
achieve proper belt fit.
7
!WARNING!
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur
USE ONLY with children who are 3 years of age or older AND whose height is
between 38—60 inches (96—152 cm) AND who weigh between 33—100 pounds

Applicable only if installing booster seat using the lower LATCH anchors:
• LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) refers to a pair of fixed Lower

Booster Seat has been designed to attach to the lower LATCH anchors. A top tether
is not required for Belt Positioning Booster seats such as the Solution X-fix.

and seat cushion. If the lower LATCH anchor locations are not visible, their position
will be indicated by symbols located near the crease between the seat back and
