Cybex Aton Car Seat
what parents are saying
We searched and searched for a lightweight infant car seat and were happy to find this one. It works with our stroller (UppaBaby Vista), fit well in our small(er) car, can be installed safely, easily, and can also be used sans base. (May 18, 2015)

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 securely and is lightweight and compact. Because it installs securely sans base, it's perfect for an urban parent who relies on taxis to get around. Using the MaxiCosi adapters, it's compatible with almost any stroller. Be warned, though: the sun shade is pretty tiny, but you can remedy that by adding the SnoozeShade.

The base was really hard to install. I thought the load bearing leg would be so great but it moves fairly easily. May 25, 2022

The car seat has a lot of bells and whistles. It’s is quite heavy and nearly impossible to latch into the base. Nov 22, 2021
Very easy to use loved it Sep 13, 2021

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

This car seat is super safe and easy to install in both the base and using a seat belt. Plus, it works well with my Baby Jogger stroller (with adapters). Aug 17, 2020

Great quality but I deeply regret not doing research as later on I saw a reclining version of this seat that blew me away. It’s a great option but I wish I had paid a little extra Mar 31, 2020

Lightweight and compact, I miss this seat compared to the Nuna Pipa I have this time. Sep 11, 2019

We purchased Anton Cloud Q since it is compatible with our Silver Cross adapters. The stability bar broke 1 month in. Getting our son in-and-out of car became a huge tasks due to position of handle. Jul 17, 2019

Very well desined, my baby fall right to sleep. It is kind of heavy for me though. Jul 06, 2019

This seat is so heavy and cumbersome to get in and out of the car! We got it because it has a small footprint in our Volvo wagon. But it was donated after the last babe outgrew it! Apr 12, 2019

I can’t stand that the buttons to lower the bar are on both sides, needing both hands to operate, a luxury parents rarely have. It’s also difficult to loosen and tighten the straps. Fits a small car. Feb 06, 2019

We have the Aton Q (compatible with the Aton 2 base) and it is great for travel. It fits on our Uppababy Vista with the Maxi Cosi clips so we use it all the time. Jan 02, 2019

This was the best infant car seat ever, easy to wash, loved the no rethread harness and our kids were so comfy in it. Loved the load leg too with the base Jun 25, 2018

I like this car seat, but there are a few cons. You have to use two hands to raise and lower the carrying handle, the adapters for the stroller are a bit wobbly and hard to disconnect. Oct 31, 2017

I have an incredibly short backseat (the legroom is non-existant). This was the only infant seat I found that would fit. It's fairly light and easy to clean but the sun shade is not that useful. Oct 05, 2016

compact, sleek & safe. What more could you ask for?! Jan 18, 2016

I use this on my stroller every day. Simple, beautiful design and cozy seat for my little one. I just wish the visor had an extension for blocking out more sun. Jun 18, 2015
Super easy to install. lightweight and love the design. May 13, 2015

Love this car seat. We live in the city and it's a snap to get it in and out of cabs, and is very safe to belt the seat in (instead of using the base). Oct 28, 2014
Perfect for getting around NYC. Light to carry and easy to get in and out of cabs and rental cars. We used in UPPAbaby. Only negative is it does not provide enough shade. Aug 11, 2014

Need flexibilty. Fits on Bugaboo C3 with adapter, able to use without base in car, small frame. One negative is the visor is too short. Jul 29, 2014

We love how light this car seat is. Only thing we don't like is the canopy. May 12, 2014
Love everything about this car seat except the sun shade. It's not that great. But it definitely shouldn't be a deal breaker for anyone. I would buy it again. Apr 29, 2014

I have the Aton 2 version but I absolutely love it. It seems to be one of the smallest and lightest on the market. Mar 01, 2014
For twins these are wonderful. Very light weight and snap right into our City Select stroller. The only thing is they do get a bit hot - the material. Feb 13, 2014

Easy to use & the lightest carrier out there. I recommend going to the store and "playing" with all the car seats. Don't make a purchase you regret, not all car seats are created to be user friendly. Dec 07, 2014
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 09, 2014

I can't say enough great things about this car seat. It was recommended to us by "the car seat lady" and I am so glad we went with her suggestion. It's super light weight, easy to install with our without the base and the straps are very adjustable. Mar 22, 2013
