CLOUD Q
Owner’s Manual
Manual del Propietario
Welcome to the CYBEX family,
Thank you for purchasing the CYBEX Cloud Q. We are proud to
bring this German engineered product to United States. We hope
the Cloud Q will make your child’s travel both safer and more
pleasant, as well as make installation and use for you as simple as
possible. The award winning Cloud Q brings a few important safety
innovations to the infant car seat category.
Front Impact Protection
The European style Load Leg prevents the seat from rotating
forward, allowing the seat to perfectly support the baby’s head,
neck, and body. It also transfers much of the energy to the vehicle’s
oor, decreasing forces on your baby up to 50%!
CYBEX Linear Side-impact Protection (LSP) System
A unique telescoping blocker arm, combined with deep side wings
lined with thick energy-absorbing EPS foam and an adjustable
headrest creates the CYBEX LSP System. This system has been
optimized to protect and greatly reduce any forces on your baby in the
event of a side impact crash.
Full Recline Backrest
A new function of the Cloud Q is that it can be changed to a full
recline position when used outside of the car. With an extended
leg-rest and a fully reclining backrest, the child can lie comfortably
and in an ergonomically correct position when used as a travel
system or in the home. Works perfect together with CYBEX Priam
and M-Strollers.
Statistics show that over 72% of car seats are being used
incorrectly!
Please read and follow these instructions carefully to install the
Cloud Q correctly, even if the installation and use of this infant car
seat might seem simple and intuitive.
Before the rst use of the Cloud Q infant car seat, please make
sure you have followed all the steps in the Safety Checklist and
CYBEX Safe Practices found on page 47.
Following the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendations
for safe transportation of infants, we recommend keeping your
child rear facing in a properly installed rear facing car seat
until they are at least two (2) years of age or outgrow the
maximum weight or height for the seat. Visit www.aap.org for
more information on the Academy's recommendation.
No car seat can guarantee protection from injury in every situation,
but proper use helps reduce the risk of death or serious injury.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact
Columbus Trading-Partners USA Inc., the U.S. Distributor, at
1–877–242–5676. Also, please remember to register your infant car
seat so we can contact you in the unlikely event of a recall.
Keep this Owner’s Manual for future reference by storing it in the
pocket on the bottom of the Cloud Q Infant Carrier. We appreciate
your purchase and invite you to visit www.cybex-online.com to see
other great CYBEX products.
WELCOME TO CYBEX!
