Many parents wonder how to clean the Cybex car seats as it’s inevitable that your little monkey will spill something or get their sticky fingers all over the fabric. We’re here to tell you everything you need to know about how to do it safely so you can keep it looking new for longer. We also want to share some of the standout features of the Cybex car seats to refresh your memory of the different types of car seats they offer or for those of you who are still trying to decide which one to buy.
Cybex Aton
The Cybex Aton B2 i-Size car seat is designed with advanced safety and protective features for your newborn up to around 15-24 months. The innovative Linear Side Impact Protection System (LSP) absorbs the force of impact and channels it into the car seat’s shell, making it a superior safety system for your baby.
Cybex i-Size car seats like the Aton are compatible with Cybex strollers, and they’re super lightweight, so you can easily carry your car seat from your vehicle to the stroller with ease. The Aton has an XXL sun canopy to protect your little explorer on sunny days out and even has 11 different headrest height adjustment positions to keep them comfy as they grow.
How to wash the Cybex Aton B2
Clean the seat covers, shoulder pads, buckle pads, and infant insert as needed using a clean cloth with mild detergent and water. These elements can also be machine washed on a cold, gentle cycle but don’t bleach, tumble dry or iron. Allow to completely air dry, away from direct sunlight, before putting them back on and avoid using harsh detergents or bleaching agents.
To clean the harness straps, harness buckle and latch connectors, use a clean cloth with mild detergent and warm water; remember that the harness straps aren’t removable, so don’t try to do this. Check that the buckle and connectors are in full working order regularly, so it’s a great time to check it over when you’re cleaning it and sometimes a good clean can make the buckle and connectors work more effectively.

The R129 Cybex Cloud Z2 i-Size car seat, suitable from birth to around 15-24 months, has a useful 180-degree rotation mechanism that allows the seat to face sideways for effortless ins and outs without straining your back. The recline feature lets your little passenger relax and enjoy the journey for even more comfort on the road. This clever car seat also has a full lie-flat position as part of the travel system with Cybex stroller, making it great for sleepy newborns.
The Cybex Cloud Z2 is designed for safe and comfortable travelling. It has integrated LSP technology, a height-adjustable headrest, and a removable newborn inlay so the car seat can perfectly adjust to your little angel’s as they grow while keeping them safe and sound for all journeys.
Cybex Sirona
The Cybex Sirona Z2 i-Size car seat has all the safety, comfort, and style of other Cybex i-Size car seats but lasts even longer as it’s suitable from birth to around 3.5- 4 years. This Cybex 360 car seat fully rotates, so your precious passenger can remain in a rear-facing position until approximately 15 months old and can be easily spun around to forward-facing.
The rotation mechanism also makes getting your baby in and out of the car seat quick and easy. It allows you to spin to interact with another backseat passenger when the car isn’t moving without getting them out of the vehicle. Your baby is guaranteed a comfortable and joyful journey in this car seat with the easy one-hand reclining feature and adjustable headrest.
Washing the Cybex Cloud Z2 and Cybex Sirona Z2 car seat
The Cybex Cloud Z2 and Cybex Sirona Z2 car seat covers can easily be removed and washed in the washing machine at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees on a delicate cycle. If you wash the cover at a higher temperature, the colour of the fabric may fade. You must first remove the cover from the car seat and allow it to properly air dry, away from direct sunlight, before putting it back on and never machine-dry your Cybex Cloud car seat cover.
Don’t use bleaching agents or harsh chemicals on your car seat cover; mild detergents or fragrance-free detergents are best on the delicate fabric of the car seat and for your baby’s skin. The cover is easy to remove by peeling it away from the car seat, starting from the back. Remember that the harness doesn’t come off, so don’t try to remove any parts of the harness.
