When I bought this I was not aware that the swivel feature only works in the rear facing position. So that only lasted about 14 months and now it’s back to a regular car seat that wobbles more than others. I would not recommend this car seat to others.
Not sure if you will even see this but I’m just confused why you can’t take it out bc it’s supposed to compatible with the cybex strollers? My baby is due oct and now I’m having second thoughts about this car seat
Convertible car seats are always a more permanent install and don't have a base, but are one solid unit. This is always a consideration when deciding between an infant car seat and a convertible car seat. I wish they would've explained that it's not exclusive to just this convertible seat. Infant car seats are great as they can stay asleep as you click the car seat from the car into the stroller and such. It depends on your lifestyle. Some babywear constantly, so they don't care about the infant seat. I will add that I don't like this for an infant under 4 months. The load position isn't ideal for a baby without neck control. Their head will flop forward only when buckling them in. Once you rotate it, it's fine. Mine is too heavy for the infant seat, so I'm using this convertible car seat now.
Thanks for posting this! My husband and I couldn’t get the load leg to stay put. The indicators both say green but it’s still wobbly. Anything else we need to do?
Once your child is forward facing, the proper installation (with the tether), eliminates the swivel feature. Just bought this for my toddler and was pretty irritated to find out that the swivel won’t work for his configuration. HEADS UP!
@@FamilytaleVlogsit’ll still work if you choose to swivel forward facing because the load leg is used for the replacement of the tether. It’s optional for this car seat. I called customer service and that what they told me. Also the Manuel says it’s recommended to use the tether but not required. It’ll still be super safe without the tether because again if has a load leg while other car seat don’t which makes it crucial to use the tether on those car seats.
thanks for sharing info about this car seat, i am looking for a convertible car seat for my child and there are so many brands out there...it can be tricky to choose. I like the safety features of the cybex car seat, can you tell me if it's easy to install? im not good at installing car seats so wondering if it would be a big challenge. Another thing you mentioned that you cannot put it in another car? would it have to stay in one car at all times? i was hoping to switch it to my husband's car as well. thanks
Thanks Jen! The seat is all one unit so unfortunately you would have to take the whole thing in/out between two cars or buy two of them. We ended up buying two of them... The install was pretty easy, nothing too special there - just do the seatbelt install right from the get go would be my advice. It's a super convenient carseat to have though, the rotation feature is amazing!
Hey I just bought my car seat just like yours & I try use my coupon 20% offf then store told me I couldn’t use because Cybex don’t like it when we change the price
This video sold me on purchasing the same car seat. My little girl will be here at the end of August and I was thinking, since the car seat does not come out of the car, what do you use to transport Louie to and from the Cybex to let’s say the grocery store or wherever it is you’re going?
Hey! We still love these seats, we are hoping to do another review now that we have had two of them for a year and half, I'll try and include the install in that review as well :)
Thanks for the video. I actually have the same car as you (Tesla Model 3) and was wondering how it fit. Looks like I found my kids new car seat. Thanks! 😀
Were you able to connect the SensorSafe receiver to a OBD2 port? Does the Tesla have one? I have a Tesla Model S and just got the Cybex Sirona S and am trying to find the port.
Your Model S should have one, however I believe it's in a really crazy place so we never bothered with it... 5vtj648dfk323byvjb7k1e9w-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Screen-Shot-2019-05-27-at-9.06.02-AM-1024x608.png
Hi guys! Thank you for the review on the seat. When the time comes for your son to be forward facing, do you think the low leg will get in the way of his comfort. That’s my hesitation on by it
“It’s actually like 74” lol I love the attitude and realness. I’ve been watching you guys for a few months now and really enjoy watching what you guys come up with. Keep it up 👍🏼
It’s pretty common to get a cheaper seat for the car the baby spends less time in. All car seats sold in the US pass the same safety tests whether it’s a 50 dollar seat or a 500 dollar seat. Save yourself some money if you want and get a cheaper seat for the other car.
True, in my car we have the Nuva rava which was like $450, my husband has the britax something in his car which was around $300 and then in a Car we rarely drive we have my daughters older diono radian rtx which was $275 I think? We got it as a baby shower gift
I highly-highly doubt a 50 doll baby car seat can offer good protection... Here in EU we have a good amount of car seats that fail the crash tests, also there can be harmful emissions from the materials used in the car seat.
It fits pretty well in either Tesla but Max is 6’2 and if sitting in the passenger seat (in front of the car seat), he is pretty crammed! Not sure if it’s car seat specific though
I hate to comment on a old video, BUT on the off chance you guys see this lol 😂 question? Has your cybex started scratching itself? We have the exact same one, and I’ve noticed the main car seat portion has started scratching the “base” when we spin it. I don’t know anyone else with the same one, so figured I would ask if anyone else is having this problem or not.
I think I noticed that a little bit as well! I think it might be from other things getting caught under there (one time he dropped a graham cracker, etc)... I'll give it a closer look later today!
Unfortunately it's all one unit so you can't just put a base in both cars and move it between two cars. We ended up buying two of the Cybex Sirona S (I can't recall if we mentioned that in this vlog)
@@FamilytaleVlogs yo try to see if the company will on credit your account for the first one sometimes they do that if you bought it within 14 days or so they may honor 20% or so try it it don't hurt
13:00: no one's going to like your attitude right there... Lol actually I find your bantering cute and shows the strength of your relationship. Those who can't laugh at you both poking at each other need to count to 10. Don't hide your true personality traits because of a "few" people with their noses stuck pointing to the sky. 🥰
Yes, Cybex is from Europe (Germany) , and here we have special Test centers that give "grading" on how well a car seat performed in a car crash (the German ADAC or the Swedish Plus Test e.g.) The good car seats tend to be expensive (starting 350 euros) but almost everyone will try and get a proper one because child safety on the road is taken very seriously. Also our latest regulations stand for Isofix(LATCH) installation only and seat usage by length of the child not weight, the so called iSize regulation.
Lol I saw that meme, I eat it when they are sleeping, now that my older 3 are 13, 10, 7 I let them each pick out snacks they like but my 1 year old we all hide our treats and wait until she’s sleeping to eat them
I’m the person (or one of the ppl) that told you about that coupon!! It’s awesome, right?!? If you look at the fine print, it says it doesn’t work for Cybex products, but I guess this car seat is so new, they haven’t added it to the ineligible products yet? Idk. Either way, it’s awesome!

It’s so big, I can’t imagine it fitting in a stroller or being easy to take in and out! I’d definitely do some more research before getting it!

It's tough to say without looking at it... I think most local Police stations or Fire Departments will help with it too if you're having trouble!!
I wanted this car seat last year but it hadn’t launched here yet, it looked amazing

UGH! That sucks... they must have caught on to that... it worked for us but looks like they changed the policy now :(
The 20% coupon from BBB does work online. I just bought two.

We used an infant car seat until about 6 months! Then would carry him to and from the car in our arms once we got this car seat 😊
@@FamilytaleVlogs Okay, thank you for the information as well as replying so quickly!
The way she looks at him through this video is so cute
hi, how this seat is working for
you? can you
please show how to install with the seat belt?

Awesome glad to hear, you'll love it, I would say to install it on the passenger side on the 3 if you're tall otherwise you won't have great leg room

The clips are called isofix. Thanks for the review.
Hi guys!
Thank you for the review on the seat.
When the time comes for your son to be forward facing, do you think the low leg will get in the way of his comfort.
That’s my hesitation on by it
That's a good question! I'm not totally sure what he will think of that. I don't think it will be a huge bother but it's tough to say
“It’s actually like 74” lol I love the attitude and realness. I’ve been watching you guys for a few months now and really enjoy watching what you guys come up with. Keep it up 👍🏼
Haha thanks Andrea!!
So it’s either the clips or the belt??
Yep, I believe there are weight restrictions worth the clips though
@@FamilytaleVlogs maybe that’s why I’m having problems?. I have the clips AND the belt on. However that’s the only way I can have it not move soo much
Hiding candy in vegetables bags would never work with my kids. My son would be mad that the broccoli was empty 😂.
HAHA! That's a good thing though!!
Aww ill miss yalls videos but I totally understand a break.
Did the cup holder come with it? You’re the first I’m seeing with the cup holder.
Yep came with it!
Btw you guys are great 🥰 love seeing your videos so thank you!
Thanks Trina!! ♥️
There's definitely just a pop up. I didn't register for anything but of in my email and I got the 20% off still
Does it come with a cup holder? Or did you purchase one?
Yep! It came with a cup holder :)
Love your content!
Thanks Victoria!! ❤️

Wow, the carseat is amazing!!! I also like the canoe. Louie looked sooo cute in it with his cute little beach hat on. I truly love you guys!❤💙💙
Thanks Linda!! ❤️
Awesome car seat. Hope little Louie likes it. Don't have to hide snacks in my house. Louie gets cuter every video. Love you guys. Take good care.
♥️ thanks Jo! Hope you’re staying safe!
At 3:00 light flashing in the hallway..ghosts?😱
Thought I was the only one to see it 😳😫
Hahaha funny! I noticed it when we were editing too!
2:56 light in hall light flickered and the others didn’t. Your wiring for the light needs to be checked, just Incase
HAHA "Lord I'm gonna punch you!!" You guys crack me up!
hahahahah!
Wish I was this close with my sister...miss her😔😔
Why can you not swap the carseat between cars? Huge pain?
Unfortunately it's all one unit so you can't just put a base in both cars and move it between two cars. We ended up buying two of the Cybex Sirona S (I can't recall if we mentioned that in this vlog)
@@FamilytaleVlogs so you have to switch & install the whole unit back and forth?
Review starts at 6:00
I swear i get on here for all of you but max definetely makes me laugh so much!!! Is this the 500 car seat lol
Hahaha thanks Dolly! Yep this is the $500 one... 😬 luckily we found a 20% off coupon for the second one we bought!
Max where is your lifevest? Louie needs his daddy
@@FamilytaleVlogs yo try to see if the company will on credit your account for the first one sometimes they do that if you bought it within 14 days or so they may honor 20% or so try it it don't hurt

That's good to hear!!
Why don't you call them and see if they will honor the 20% on the first car seat some companies do that
Sadly our first one we purchased from Amazon and they won't price match... :(
That ice cream trick wouldn't work with my kids, they always jumping on me. I just wait till they are having a nap.
That’s probably the safest bet lol
Max stop piss'n her off / loved the eye roll!
Hahahaha
Lol I saw that meme, I eat it when they are sleeping, now that my older 3 are 13, 10, 7 I let them each pick out snacks they like but my 1 year old we all hide our treats and wait until she’s sleeping to eat them
Hahah! I suppose at some point they start wising up to our tricks!
Do you both have Tesla’s??? Goals!!!!
Haha yep! He sold his Lotus Exige to get one after I got mine
Abby & Finn diapers are great for leaks, from personal experience with 2 boys lol
The anchors are overrated anyways. I’ve always gotten a better install with the seat belt.
Agreed!
Me too and actually a lot of the newer car seats have a click tight system which makes it even easier to install it with the car seatbelt
Yes, you would have climbed and did! hahahah Dad and I stashed ours in the bathroom drawer hahaahah.
Hahahah funny I just noticed this comment
Wow thats amazing
We really like it so far!!

I need a link to the canoe.. Lol
Hahahah here you go! www.oricanoe.com/products/mycanoe-pop-pre-order
I get it Max...hey it is our American accent that makes us say DeVaun:)
Hahahahah!
We can't hide anything any more, my kids are to smart
Aghh haha that is tough!
Not worth the extremely ridiculous price. Once you forward face the car seat, it no longer swivels.
