Cybex Solution T i-Size Review

As children grow older, car seat safety often becomes less visible — and yet the risks remain very real. The transition from a harnessed seat to a high-back booster marks an important stage in a child’s journey, and the quality of the seat at this point plays a critical role in ongoing protection.

Advanced Protection for the Years That Matter Longer Than You Think

As children grow older, car seat safety often becomes less visible — and yet the risks remain very real. The transition from a harnessed seat to a high-back booster marks an important stage in a child’s journey, and the quality of the seat at this point plays a critical role in ongoing protection.

The Cybex Solution T i-Size is made to support children as they grow. It has advanced safety features and comfort that help kids use their seatbelts correctly over time. A part of the Cybex Platinum range the Cybex Solution T comes in a range of colourways that will suit every taste.

Why Booster Quality Matters

Unlike harnessed seats, high-back boosters rely on the vehicle’s seatbelt to restrain the child. This makes correct positioning essential. A poorly designed booster can allow the head to fall forward during sleep or position the belt incorrectly, increasing injury risk. The Solution T addresses these challenges with features designed to actively manage movement and positioning rather than simply elevating the child.


Patented Reclining Headrest Technology

One of the Solution T’s most distinctive features is its patented reclining headrest, which gently guides the child’s head back into the safety zone of the seat if they fall asleep. This reduces the risk of the head tipping forward, helping to maintain protection during side impacts. This feature alone sets the Solution T apart from basic boosters and is a key reason it consistently performs well in independent safety testing.



Enhanced Side-Impact Protection

Side impacts are particularly dangerous for older children, and the Solution T is engineered to address this risk directly. Its Linear Side-impact Protection system works with an energy-absorbing shell and deep side wings. This helps reduce the forces on the child during a crash. Together, these elements create a protective structure that goes far beyond minimum safety requirements.


Comfort That Encourages Proper Use

Children are far more likely to sit correctly when they are comfortable. The Solution T offers an adjustable recline, breathable fabrics, and a seating position that adapts as the child grows. Both the height and width of the seat adjust automatically with the headrest, ensuring consistent belt positioning throughout the years. This thoughtful design reduces the risk of misuse — one of the most common safety concerns in this age group.


Designed to Grow With Your Child

The Cybex Solution T i-Size is suitable for children from 100 to 150 cm, roughly 3 to 12 years of age. This extended usability makes it one of the longest-serving seats in the Cybex Platinum range. For families, this longevity represents both value and reassurance, covering the final stages of car seat use before a child transitions to an adult seatbelt alone.


Who Is the Solution T Best For?

The Solution T is ideal for parents who want more than a basic booster. It is great for families who drive often, travel long distances, or want to ensure their child is safe as they become more independent. Among Chelsea Baby customers, it is often chosen as a natural continuation after Cybex harnessed seats, maintaining consistency in safety philosophy and design quality.


Final Thoughts on the Solution T

The Cybex Solution T i-Size demonstrates that car seat safety does not end when children outgrow harnesses. By combining intelligent design, proven safety technology, and long-term comfort, it offers a premium solution for the later years of child travel.
