Thank you for purchasing the CYBEX Solution M-x High Back Booster Seat. We are proud to bring this German engineered
seat to North America. We hope the Solution M-x will make your child’s travel both safer and more pleasant, as well as
making installation and use for you as simple and easy as possible.
The Solution M-x is the next generation of the award winning CYBEX booster seats.With greatly improved protection in side
impact and forward facing crashes, the Solution M-x takes booster safety to a new level.
Statistics show that over 75% of car seats are installed incorrectly!
Please read and follow these instructions to install this booster seat correctly, even if the installation and use of this booster
seat might seem simple and intuitive. The safety of your child depends on it! Although many booster seats may be used
without the backrest attached, the Solution M-x should NEVER BE USED WITHOUT THE BACKREST ATTACHED as it
dramatically reduces the protection in a crash.
We recommend keeping your young child in a properly sized and installed convertible car seat as long as possible before
making the switch to the Solution M-x High Back Booster Seat. This restraint is for children who are at least 3 years old,
between 40 and 110 lbs. and are 38-60 inches tall.
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 North American
distributor at 1–877-242-5676. Also, please remember to register your booster seat so we can contact you in the unlikely event
of a recall. Register online at: http://cybex-online.com/register
Keep this Owner’s Manual for future reference by storing it in the pocket on the back of Solution M-x. We appreciate your
purchase and invite you to visit our web site www.cybex-online.com to see other great CYBEX products.
Before the rst use of this booster seat, please make sure you have followed all the steps in the Safety Checklist and CYBEX

The Solution M-x brings all new technologies to the High
Back Booster Seat category to greatly increase the safety
of your child in the event of a side impact collision. Reports
show that 27% of all crashes are side impact collisions1.
LINEAR SIDE-IMPACT PROTECTION™ (L.S.P.)
The L.S.P. System allows the forces from a side impact
collision to be reduced gradually to minimize injuries. A
series of reactions are triggered and the Head and Shoulder
Protectors absorb the momentum of the head and body
to maximize the protection of your child. The Head and
Shoulder Protectors are made of extra deep and thick energy
absorbing EPS foam to create a deep Safety Zone™ around
your child.
THREE POSITION, RECLINING HEADREST
We all know the head of a child falling asleep in a booster
seat tends to fall forward, and in most cases ends up outside
the Safety Zone of the head protectors. The CYBEX Three
Position Reclining Headrest eliminates this by allowing your
child’s head to recline and remain protected in the Safety
Zone of the Head Protectors. If your child slumps forward out
of position when asleep, there is an increased risk that your
child will not be well protected in the event of a collision.
Thanks to the Reclining Headrest of the Solution M-x, your
child will be able to lean back and sleep comfortably with the
head inside the Safety Zone.

• YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY depends on
you correctly installing and using this
booster seat.
• READ and FOLLOW all booster seat
and vehicle instructions carefully. Failure
to follow these instructions can result in
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY of your child
in a sharp turn, sudden stop, or crash.
• DO NOT install or use this booster seat
until you have read and understand the
instructions in this manual and in your
vehicle Owner’s Manual . If there is
a conict between the two, the vehicle
Owner’s Manual must be followed.
• DO NOT let others install or use this
booster seat unless they understand how
to correctly install and use it.
• KEEP this Owner’s Manual for future
reference by storing it in the pocket on the
back of the booster seat.
• USE ONLY with children who are 3 years
of age or older AND who weigh between
40—110 lb (18—50 kg) AND whose height
is between 38—60 inches (96—152 cm).
Using this booster seat with a child who
does not meet ALL of these requirements
will increase the risk of death or serious
injury.
• ONLY USE this booster seat with the
bottom of the Headrest positioned at two
ngers width above your child’s shoulders.
• NEVER USE the Booster Base without
the Backrest attached.
• NEVER TAKE your child out of the
booster seat to tend to his or her needs
while the vehicle is moving. Unrestrained
occupants are at a greatly increased risk
of DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY in a car
crash.

while driving. Driving while distracted is
the cause of many car crashes. Safely
stop your vehicle in order to tend to your
child.

• The primary protection for occupants
of a vehicle in a collision is the structure
of the vehicle itself; a booster seat will
not protect a child when the vehicle is
seriously impacted. Correctly used, this
booster seat will substantially improve the
chances for survival in most crashes.
• TOO MUCH RECLINE IN THE
VEHICLE SEAT BACK can result
in improper vehicle belt position. An
improperly positioned vehicle belt
increases the risk of DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY in a crash. Follow your vehicle
Owner’s Manual instructions for proper
seat back positioning.
• USE ONLY the vehicle’s three point
lap and shoulder belt system when
restraining your child in this booster seat.
• NEVER USE this booster seat with a
two–point only vehicle belt, (lap belt or
shoulder belt only) or with any motorized,
or door mounted vehicle belts or inatable
seat belts. Your child would not be
properly restrained in the event of a
crash.
• IMPROPER PLACEMENT of this
booster seat in a vehicle affects the
booster seat’s performance and can
result in DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.
• ONLY PLACE this booster seat in a
vehicle seating location allowed by the
vehicle manufacturer. Refer to your
vehicle Owner’s Manual for information
about vehicle seat belt systems, air bags,
and child restraint/booster seat installation
to determine allowable seating positions.
• Based on crash statistics, the National
Highway Trafc Safety Administration
(NHTSA) recommends that parents select
the REAR SEAT as the safest location for
a properly installed booster seat. Study
the sections on vehicle seat belts and
vehicle seat location in these instructions
to ensure your child’s safety.

!WARNING!DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR
• DO NOT USE this booster seat in a
seating position with an airbag unless the
vehicle manufacturer specically allows
placement of a child restraint there. If
an air bag inates, it can hit your child
with such a great force that it may cause
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.
• The Backrest of this booster seat MUST
REST against the vehicle seat back.
• Vehicle headrest MUST NOT
INTERFERE with the booster seat
backrest. See the vehicle Owner’s Manual

• DO NOT SECURE this booster seat to
the vehicle’s lower LATCH anchors if the
vehicle belt or vehicle belt buckle is not
easily accessible when the booster seat is
securely installed.
• NEVER LEAVE a vehicle seatback with
a folding mechanism unlocked. In the
event of a sudden stop, a loose vehicle
seatback could prevent this booster seat
from protecting your child as well as it
should.
• DO NOT LEAVE loose objects (e.g.
books, bags, etc.) in a vehicle. In the
event of a sudden stop, loose objects will
become projectiles, potentially causing
serious injuries.
• DO NOT USE anything to raise this
booster seat off the vehicle seat.
• NEVER USE this booster seat in the
home, on aircraft, boats, low speed
vehicles (LSV), all-terrain vehicles (ATV),
golf carts, or any other non-certied
applications.

that can reach the seat belt and may wrap
it around his or her neck.

been in a crash. There may be hidden
damage and it must be replaced. Your
insurance company may provide some
assistance replacing the booster seat.
