It feels robust with strong metal, hard-wearing plastics and a sturdy foundation. The headrest can be adjusted by pressing a single button. This allows older children to have more leg room. There's also a difficult side impact protection that slides to the side of the seat, however this seems to work well and is simple to use.

The seat is easy to install - there are six self-explanatory step and an anti-rotational bar that snaps into place as you fold the support leg.

It's also the only rear-facing ISOFIX seat on the market with a high weight/height limit of 23kg and 125cm. It is i-Size Plus certified, which is the most prestigious safety standard. It has a long backrest, so you can keep the child facing forward for a longer period of time. Research has proven that this is the most safe way to travel.

The Cybex Cloud T car seat is sleek and bold. It has a lot to offer. It's i-Size and travel system compatible with a 360deg swivel entry (when used with the optional Base T isofix base) that helps you to take your child into and out of the car easily.

This car seat is also available in a lighter model called the Pipa Lite Lx.

Both versions of this seat come with excellent safety features and are highly reviewed. The base for this seat comes with a load leg and rigid lower anchors that help to keep the seat safe in the event of a crash.

The Pipa is a great choice for many families. However, it may be inappropriate for parents with small babies or parents with tall children. It doesn't come with an integrated infant padding and you'll need to purchase an infant insert and crotch buckle pad. The padding is comfortable and lightweight so it's not an issue.

Another benefit is that the Nuna Pipa can be used without a base, which makes it ideal for taxi and rideshare parents who do not want to tackle cumbersome base installation. The seat can be set up by simply pressing the latches onto the vehicle anchors. The indicator will change green when the seat is properly installed.
