    • Can be secured via LATCH

    Cons

    CR's Take

    The Cybex Solution Z-Fix offers multiple adjustments for both a growing child and comfort, and is available at a high price. It is one of the heavier seats in our ratings, which may not make it a good option if moving often between vehicles.

    About

    The Cybex Solution Z-Fix is part of the Car Seats test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Booster Seats models like the Solution Z-Fix are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

    Booster fit (with back): A rating that reflects a booster seat's ability to correctly position the lap and shoulder belts in various test vehicles using a child-sized dummy, when used as a highback booster. Additionally, it includes an assessment of the booster's compatibility with vehicle seats and interior components.

    Booster fit (no-back): A rating that reflects a booster seat's ability to correctly position the lap and shoulder belts in various test vehicles using a child-sized dummy, when used as a backless booster. Additionally, it includes an assessment of the booster's compatibility with vehicle seats and interior components.

    Ease of use: Our evaluation of how easy each seat is to use, including items such as the clarity of labels and instructions, the ease of achieving an appropriate belt fit, and the transition between highback and backless modes where applicable.
