Easily adjust the seat to a comfortable sleeping position The patented 3-position Reclining Headrest helps prevent the child’s head from tipping forward while sleeping. The child’s head remains in the safety zone of the car seat, allowing it to provide optimum safety especially in the event of a side-impact. The three recline settings also help you find the perfect position to help your child relax and fall asleep. The Air Ventilation System allows cooling airflow to circulate through the car seat, preventing heat from building up and helping to provide a comfortable seat temperature even on hot days. The R129 standard, known as i-Size, is the most recent and was introduced to make travel for babies and children safer than the ECE R44 standard. R129 and R44 run side by side, so parents can choose whether to buy and use child car seats that meets either standards.

i-Size includes a side impact test to ensure that the seats provide better protection from side impacts. UK law dictates that all children must travel in an appropriately sized car seat until they are 135cm tall or 12-years-old, whichever comes first. ISOFIX and Top Tether ensure that the car seat can be easily and securely installed. ISOFIX helps you install the seat correctly while the Top Tether provides additional anchorage for increased safety and stability. Both feature visual indicators confirming that the car seat is installed and ready to go.

Patented reclining headrest – The 3 position reclining headrest helps prevent the child’s head from falling forward while asleep. If you're after a robust and high quality Group 1/2/3 car seat then the Cybex should be top of your list. It's not a seat you want to be changing between cars very often due to its bulk and the top tether fitting, but if that's not an issue for you, then this will be an excellent and very safe seat for your little one. The usual solid Cybex quality runs throughout and the reclining headrest is an excellent feature which sleepy kids will love. For years, parents have chosen car seats from the CYBEX Pallas line to keep their children safe. The latest model in an award-winning series, the Pallas G i- Size car seat provides over ten years of reliable protection. This 2-in-1 seat grows with your child, providing optimum support at each stage in their development. In their early years, a new and improved impact shield provides superior protection, comfort and freedom of movement and makes getting your child on-board and secure easier than ever. The patented reclining headrest helps to keep your child’s head in a protected position when they fall asleep on their journey. The Pallas G i-Size is the perfect fit for the years ahead, always ready to protect your loved one. The metal Isofix arms themselves are narrow - handy if you don't have those plastics guides built into your seats but rather a gap in the seat fabric. You do have to watch them if you're moving between cars though as they will easily scratch paintwork.

The Pallas G comes complete with a reclining headrest that adjusts to 3 positions to prevent your little one’s head from tipping forward and ensure it maintains the safest and most comfortable possible position. The One-hand Seat Recline helps you keep your child happy and comfortable onboard. Whatever the age of your child it’s easy to recline the seat so they can have a restful sleep while you’re on the road. Provides air circulation for your child’s comfort on hot days At around 9kg it's considerably lighter than the Nuna MYTI (which is more than 13kg) and although still on the bulky side, it's very easy to install. The Isofix connectors are simple to slide out and have the usual green indicators to show they're fitted properly. Undoing them is a doddle too, so it's easy to release the seat. Cybex seats are well known for their quality and the Pallas G i-Size is no exception. Straight out of the box you'll notice how solid the shell is and how soft and upmarket the fabric feels. Our first impressions are that this is a seat that's built to last - which given it's designed to go from 15 months to 12 years, is a pretty handy... The Pallas also has a top tether fitting which Cybex says must be used if you are using the impact shield. If your child is older, like our almost six-year-old tester Eden, it's optional, although we found it neater to have the top tether fitted rather than having a long strap trailing around. It also gives you that extra bit of reassurance as it's designed to stabilize the car seat and prevent rotation in the event of an accident.

The Cybex Pallas G I-Size is a fantastic car seat that offers lots of comfort and safety extras for your child. The Linear Side-impact Technology does make the seat a little larger, but we loved the reassuring technology behind this and the impact shield. The reclining headrest is also a brilliant comfort and safety feature for napping tots. As it’s forward-facing, it’s not for newborns and only suitable from a minimum of 15-months, but it will see your child all the way up until (approximately) their twelfth birthday. Stand out features include a reclining headrest to stop your child's head dropping forward when they are asleep, something which we really like on other Cybex seats like the Solution Z-Fix.
