Cybex Aton 2 Infant Car Seat

Clare W.

weeThink

Our friends at The Car Seat Lady swear by this seat, and with good reason: not only is it super safe - performing better than any other seat in Consumer Reports’ recent crash test - it’s also easy to install with or without a base, making it ideal for city and suburban families alike. And thanks to MaxiCosi adapters, this seat is compatible with nearly every stroller, too, for an easy addition to any travel system. And as one of the lightest car seats on the market (it weighs only 9 lbs sans baby!), lugging it around is a breeze on your arms (and back).

The Catch: the sun shade is pretty tiny, but you can remedy that by adding the SnoozeShade.

LOVE: 52 NEUTRAL: 20
REGRET: 5 WANT: 70

  • I love it stuckes into my stroller, however the way to put it out is not very convenient. Also the canopy is not wide enough to keep the baby protected or fully covered. Nov 30, 2023

  • Love our cybex car seat! Aug 29, 2023

  • Nice car seat for infant. We used it till 4 months old Aug 11, 2023

  • I love this car seat. After reading countless reviews, we decided on this car seat for our first child. I paired this with the Cybex Gazelle stroller and it’s the perfect travel system. Aug 03, 2023

  • Material is soft, but not as light as I thought it would be and the straps are hard to tighten and stick. Sensor is gimmicky and wasn't used. Feb 14, 2023

  • I wanted a safe seat, and that is what you get with Cybex. Superb safety rating, lightweight seat (without baby), comes in many colors, moderately priced, and compatible with our Uppababy stroller. Sep 08, 2022

    Bought and returned. We have a Cybex Sirona S and expected the same quality from their infant seats and was very disappointed in the fabric quality for the high end price. Cybex needs to upgrade. Apr 05, 2022

  • Lighter weight than others. I’m able to attach this to my bugaboo stroller. I like the sensor feature that alert you of any issues with the seat or if you leave the baby in the car! Feb 10, 2022

  • Every car seat should have the hot and cold signal to let know if baby is too hot or cold. I love that they have a long piece that sits on the floor to keep the seat extra secure. It covers all safety Jan 18, 2022

    I bought this one for my newborn and so it can go with my Cybex Gazelle stroller. It clicks easily into the base and the stroller. Aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, and light. Oct 22, 2021

  • I love how lightweight it is and the safety features are great! Aug 27, 2021

  • Best car crash safety ratings which is the leading cause of purchase. It's comfortable, sturdy and lightweight. Jun 18, 2021

  • This seat is sleek and always received compliments . And I LOVE the canopy... it fully covered our baby when she was an infant and helped her sleep peacefully on car rides and blocked the sun. Jan 24, 2021

  • We did a ton of research on car seats and this one seemed to be the safest and by far had the best reviews. It’s super light weight, easy to put in and out of the car and stroller. Jan 03, 2021

  • Light weight car seat! Aug 26, 2020

  • Used Cybex with first born, will use again with second. Top quality, European-make with exceptional safety ratings. Load-leg for added safety. Lightweight. Has all the innovative bells and whistles. Aug 20, 2020

  • The safety features that this company puts into their carseat can't be beat! Sensor safe can alert within the car or on your phone. Many features that redistribute impact away from baby. Jun 14, 2020

  • This was a barely used hand me down. It was difficult to use, mostly incompatible with strollers, and a strap broke when my daughter was 6 months. Would not buy. Sep 25, 2019

  • Grew equality but extremely narrow. My son outgrew it by 6 months. Jul 29, 2019

  • The canopy was nowhere near large enough and actually broke and the seat itself didn't work well with the stroller. May 06, 2019

    • Tina D.

    • Palos Verdes Estates, California

    Switched to uppa baby when I realized that this product did not have stroller attachment or other features that equally expensive models did. Mar 20, 2019

  • The best car seats ever. My infants had major reflux with the nuna but the cubes has been amazing. And they come in great colors to choose. They adapt for almost strollers and have recommended!! Jan 17, 2019

  • We got this because it was able to fit in all our vehicles and we liked all the safety features. Baby hated it, she looked so uncomfortable and her back was soaked in sweat every time we used the seat Jan 17, 2019

  • So lightweight compared to other car seats, loved the safety profile and sleek design. Very easy to install. Sep 21, 2018

  • We bought his because we had/have two rear facing at the same time and my husband is 6’7” and this car seat gives him the most room to keep his seat back. I also like that it is light to carry Jul 12, 2018

    • Tasmin E.

    • Marina del Rey, California

    I like this carseat, especially how light it is to carry and install, however it does not clip in and out of the Cybex stroller attachments very easily (requiring some vigorous wiggling at times). Jul 05, 2018

  • Love this Infant seat. Easy to carry and has some excellent safety features Jul 03, 2018

  • This car seat is really light weight. It’s easy to remove from the base in your vehicle. The canopy is small and doesn’t cover much of baby when the sun is bright. Handle is hard to move back. Apr 27, 2018

  • Love all the safety features. Especially how safe without the base, allows us to ride with anyone. This car seat is super light so easy on mommas arms. Mar 27, 2018

  • We love this car seat! It is so easy to install. The seat is firm enough to be safe for an infant, but well padded so as to be comfortable for them as they grow. It has held up great as well. Jan 14, 2018

  • I loved this for when my daughter was smaller! Super sturdy and has so many nice safety features! Jan 12, 2018

    • A K.

    • Lawndale, California

    I had this for my 1st and 2nd son and I really loved it. It’s futuristic looking and light weight. It’s German made so you get what you pay for. Jan 04, 2018

    • Ben J.

    • Fort Collins, Colorado

    I own 2. My only complaint, the shade has broken on both. They are super light, easy to clean, and secure both with and without the base. Sep 12, 2017

    • Rija R.

    • United States of America

    Absolutely love this car seat and would recommend it to other parents ! Jul 30, 2017

  • safety first & european design. May 23, 2017

  • I love the extra security features on this car seat. Gives me peace of mind when driving!! Mar 07, 2017

  • This car seat is light and has all of the safety bells and whistles. The only downside is that our son outgrew it at about a year (too tall) even though he is on the smaller side. Oct 05, 2016

Featured Parents' Reviews

  • Light weight, straps are very pliable. Soft material. Very well made car seat Sep 27, 2021

  • SAFE, gets good ratings on test sights, easy to adjust straps as kid grows, reclines when taken out of car, heavy duty, has side impact bars, load leg, and pretty easy install, good comfortable seat Jul 13, 2020

  • Pros: seems very safe with the impact bar. Also very lightweight. Cons: very small. My child grew out of quickly. Also, difficult to keep clean as the cover is not removable. Feb 11, 2019

  • Did lots of research and ended up with this seat. Really enjoy it. Easy to use/install, compact, load leg and SIP flip up are great. Car seat is secure and safe. Dec 30, 2017

  • LOVE this car carrier. All other Littles we used Graco The design of this car seat left plenty of room for older kids to reach the 3rd row easily. And yes the canopy isn't great in use but stores well May 09, 2017

  • It's a nice seat and it feels sturdy and safe. The canopy is completely worthless because it's so short that's my main complaint! Mar 27, 2017

  • I got to test out the travel system for this car seat from weespring and all in honesty I did not like it. It kept breaking at the canopy since its made from hard plastic. I love that it's comfy. Aug 31, 2016

  • Just bought this for my baby due in 2.5 months. It's so nice to look at and the manual was easy to read. The base has a few steps but the manual walks you through. Not too heavy, and great features! Aug 08, 2016

  • I received this car seat as a gift from the WeeSpring parent panel. It's lightweight and cozy for my little one. I love the whole travel system, too - easily snaps into Cybex stroller. Easy & safe! Jun 17, 2016

  • I did tons of research when looking for a car seat for my babies. We went with this one and LOVE it! It's so easy to install. It is compact. I love the load leg for added safety. It is very secure! May 17, 2016

    • Kate M.

    • Fort Collins, Colorado

    Got these for our twins, they are so comfy in them and they are super easy to use in our mid-size sedan. We flew with them and used them our whole vacation with no bases and felt the babies were safe Sep 01, 2015

  • Pros: compact and lightweight, safe for installing without the base. Cons: straps can get stuck when it's installed, our tall 4 month old already seems a bit big for it. Feb 07, 2015

  • This is the seat we use for our own babies. It installs easily and safely in virtually any vehicle, both with and without the base -- making it perfect for both city and suburbs. It’s compactness means it’s great for 3-across and front seat leg room (it gives 4 more inches of legroom than other infant seats) - with the downside being baby outgrows it a few months sooner than some seats. The Aton 2 has a load leg on the base that lowers risk of head injury. Apr 10, 2014

  • Q: Is this easy to maneuver in and out of taxi cabs?

    asked by Kristian S. - Mar 23, 2014

  • I think that it would be, but you would not be able to use the base in a taxi since it only works with the latch system. You can use just the seat itself and it installs easily with a seatbelt
