Product Information

Stylish, safe and ergonomic, the Cybex Cloud Z2 i-Size Car Seat with Isofix in Soho Grey is perfect for making travel with your little one as smooth as possible. When added to the base, the Cloud Z2 becomes a rotating seat - letting you turn the seat sideways for easy entry and exit from the car. So, choosing a lie-flat car seat is the best option for your newborn, allowing them to be in the correct position even if you are travelling long distances in the car.

Why you should trust us The seat features three recline positions (including a superior full lie-flat position) which can be used in the car and attached to a stroller. The lie-flat position offers a more natural sleeping position for babies, as it helps keep their airways open and allows them to breathe more easily. When used with the rotating FamilyFix 360 Pro-slide-out base, you can effortlessly rotate and slide your child toward you. The Easy-in harness adds even more convenience, allowing you to fasten your baby in with minimum fuss. On the road, Maxi-Cosi’s integrated G-CELL Side Impact Protection provides superior safety. The seat can only be installed using a base like the i-Base Encore (sold separately) via the ISOFIX connectors in your car. Although the base is sold separately, it is compatible with at least four other Joie car seats, thus offering a more longevity as your child grows.

About the editor As detailed in our best toddler car seats guide, i-Size seats will replace all R44 seats in time. But at the moment, here are the key differences between them: R44Pebble 360 Pro is TUV aircraft approved, which means it is allowed to travel with your baby by airplane, in all recline positions. But don't keep your baby in their car seat for longer than two hours at a time and try to have regular 10 or 15-minute breaks if you're going on a long road trip.

Incredibly compact and lightweight, Lara is easy to carry around and store in the smallest of places— even in some overhead cabin spaces on planes*. Some lie-flat car seats have been designed to fully recline whilst travelling, whilst others only have this function when used when out of the car, when attached to a pram or pushchair chassis for example. The padding: Assess the lie-flat car seat's padding and overall comfort to ensure your baby is well supported. Are you looking for an ultra-compact stroller that offers your baby maximum comfort? Do you want to explore the world with your family? Are you a city dwelling parent who depends on public transport to get around? If so, then our Lara is the perfect stroller for you!

Weight and portability: Consider the seat's weight as you might need to carry it when your baby isn't in the car. Lightweight options like the Cybex Cloud Z2 i-Size can be more practical. Now, I said rotation is useful for the next stage up and I stand by that, it really is. But if you look at these modular systems (infant seat, base, toddler seat all compatible) from a bigger picture perspective you will often find that they are fantastic from the manufacturers' point of view - they have you captive for the next seat up already. But they are not always practical from the consumer's point of view. Reasons being: Travel system ready: If you plan to use your lie-flat car seat with a stroller or pram, confirm its compatibility with your chosen system. Most of the lie-flat car seats on our list come with a range of travel system options.

The Cloud Z2 i-Size Car Seat grows alongside your child by including adjustable features, for example, the headrest can be adjusted to 12 different heights while the recline options keep your little one in the best position for them. The integrated sun canopy protects your child from the rays inside and outside of the car - keeping their delicate skin safe. Isofix fittings are a must for safer journeys. This is when a car seat is connected directly to a car's chassis using build-in Isofix connectors for a more secure fit. A car seat should not be used as a place for your child to sleep for long periods of time, and as hard as it may seem to disturb your peaceful little, you should remove your baby from the seat once you get home and place them on a flat surface. There are plenty of toddler seats on the market which rotate and extended rear face. You don't need to get one as part of a system. The decision to invest in a lie-flat car seat depends on various factors, including your baby's age, the duration of your car journeys and your peace of mind. Car seats that enable your baby to sleep flat usually cater for babies up to 75cm or around 12 to 13 months old.Incredibly lightweight and compact, Lara² can be easily carried with the integrated shoulder strap and stored in the smallest of places, even in some overhead cabin spaces on planes**. Life doesn’t wait, nor should you – get out there and explore your new world, together! If a lie-flat car seat isn't for you, a standard model will be safe and should protect your baby in a crash. However, it's important to keep an eye on how long your baby is kept in their car seat.

All seats have side-impact protection, which typically involves cushioning around the headrest and sides to absorb impact forces during a car accident, thus preventing severe head injuries Flexible recline: A good lie-flat car seat should typically recline to an angle of between 130 to 180 degree or as close to flat as possible. This position allows for a safe and comfortable sleeping posture for newborns and young infants while travelling in the car. As part of the Joie Signature range, this car seat boasts more luxurious features than those in its standard range, with its vegan leather detailing on the harness padding, removable sun canopy that can be unzipped and extended further, plus a sturdy, no-slip leather handle for easy carrying. Also with the price of a lot of the modular systems, it's worth looking at the Recaro seats Zero.1 elite / Salia elite. Not hugely popular in the UK, I think due to the price. But they are actually cheaper than a full set of these modular seats and have a lot of the same benefits, so I think if you're looking at them then it's worth giving the Recaro seats a look too. Built to the highest safety standards, Pebble 360 Pro features Maxi-Cosi’s integrated G-CELL Side Impact Protection to ensure the safety of your child.Pebble 360 Pro offers maximum sleep comfort for your baby – in the car, attached to a stroller, and used with or without the FamilyFix 360 Pro base (sold separately). We made sure that every one of our recommended lie-flat car seats had been independently tested and awarded safety scores from the German automobile club ADAC, which performs stringent safety tests. Experts recommend that newborns should not be in a car seat or infant carrier that does not recline fully flat for more than two hours at a time. In addition, the load leg enhances stability by reducing forward rotation, and the TriProtect headrest (consisting of three layers of special materials that absorb energy during a crash) has seven adjustable heights to ensure your child fits securely as they grow. The ‘Good’ ADAC rating also highlights how simple it is to adjust the height of the harness straps with a central adjuster button.
