When does my CYBEX booster seat expire?
You can find the date of manufacture and expiration date on a sticker located on the bottom of your CYBEX booster seat. Every car seat has an expiration due largely to allow you the benefit of regulatory changes and technology enhancements in child passenger safety. CYBEX boosters have been certified for 8 years from the date of manufacture. Once your booster seat has reached its expiration date, we recommend recycling the seat by contacting your local community recycling center.
Is it ok to keep using my CYBEX car seat after an accident?
We at CYBEX always recommend that you replace child restraint after a crash of any kind, even if it was unoccupied. A crash can cause unseen damage to the child restraint that may not be visible and this damage can pose an increased risk to safety. Your insurance company may be able to provide some assistance in replacing the child restraint.

When is a child too big for my CYBEX Solution B-Fix or B2 Fix + Lux booster seat?
CYBEX Solution B-Fix and B2 Fix + Lux booster seats are designed for children 4 years and older AND that weigh between 40-120 lbs. AND whose height is 38-60" tall. The belt guide should be positioned at or just above the child's shoulders so that the vehicle shoulder belt lies across the middle of the shoulder and the lap belt is positioned low and snug at the child's hips. In addition, you will want to ensure that the top of the child's ears are below the top of the booster seat.
When can I place my child in a booster seat?
There are a number of things to consider when deciding whether to a child is ready to use a booster seat, including: the weight and height rating on their current harnessed child seat, the child's own weight and height, their maturity, and the seating positions available in your vehicle. You will want to make sure your child is mature enough to sit in a booster seat and not put the vehicle belt under their arm or behind their back. You will also want to ensure that they have met or are approaching the weight or height limit of the child restraint they are currently using. When a child is properly restrained in a booster seat, their risk of injury in all types of crashes is reduced.
